不准運作邏輯、不准嘲笑正邪對立的老梗、不准猜測劇情、不准質疑人類的高貴情操，只需要尖叫。沒錯，尖叫，很難不尖叫，當你眼見再平凡不過的二手車像快轉的魔術方塊卡拉拉疊成一隻頂天立地的拉風巨型機器人，不只是全場的男孩為之瘋狂，連我都在電影院的椅子上拍大腿歡呼。
在他之前，我們的記憶裡已經有好幾隻他的朋友：打敗雙面人殺光怪獸的無敵鐵金剛，庵野秀明帶給我們、背負著死生哀愁的EVA，《二十世紀少年》裡血腥除夕夜的恐怖機器人。人類創造它們，繼續介入這個我們基本上已經無能為力的世界。但這次我們沒有選擇，是他們要介入我們。無能為力仍在，只是這些超機械生命體（請注意，他們不是AI，也不需要我們分給他們母愛。）順道來交了個新朋友，我們還有可愛之處，他們賞臉多分我們一些顧慮，這樣的宇宙族類關係成為不那麼相互牽絆的俄羅斯輪盤，事實上更宿命、也更貼近現實。
「變形」是一種「擁有不為人知的祕密」的期待，這個祕密正是與人為敵的權力，時機成熟，可以你死我活.... |

| 【經典回顧
】《海灘的一天》裡的城市迷宮 |
| 楊德昌的《海灘的一天》（1983）延續了《指望》中的「女性成長」主題；然而，從30分鐘的短片小品延展至將近三小時的劇情長片，楊德昌加入了更多的人物關係、元素、和議題：啟蒙女性身邊的男性故事，感情、婚姻、與外遇，急速資本主義化和都市化的台北樣貌，以及最終對於現代社會結構困境的描繪、以及探問現代人對於生命意義的理解和態度。 |

| 《K歌情人》Music & Lyrics |
Sophie: Sloan, even though Sally Michaels only lives on paper. I live in the world. And I can never forgive you for using me as raw material to create a fictional monster. Sally Michaels is my own personal ghost, a shadow hanging over each phone call and cup of iced tea. And one cold day,
when age has robbed you mind of its fertile phrases and your hand of its dexterity, all the success won’t be able to shield you from the pain you’ve caused and the shame you deserve. Or something like that….but now I can never actually say it to him.
Alex: No. You have to say that. You have to say that. You have to say it now. Now is the perfect time. It’s the perfect time. You are on the top of the world. You wrote a song for the biggest act in the universe. You can. People wait all there life to see an ex-lover when things are going really well. It never happens. You can make relationship history here.
Sophie: What happened to steamy and sticky?
Alex: I explain to Cora that it violated the very core of the lyric and corrupt the purity of the song.
And when that didn’t work, I told her it would help me win you back. And that did it. Turns out that although she thought the Dalai Lama was, incredibly, a llama, she is in fact quite romantic. � � |
