(Aug 09th 2010 17:26 ) This time I am rewriting this journal entry. In fact it was my journal written on Aug 06th 2010 in Chinese. So today I am trying write it again in English. To tell the truth I already know I have very many mistakes in English, so I’m afraid of writing in English.E very time I write in English, I feel afraid, but I tell myself, “It`s OK!You don`t need to be afraid! Just try ^^! Because it`s play, it isn’t an exam.Haha ~~~ ” Soooooo~~~ooo? Now also I am trying ^^. Hope someone can help me correct.//^. ^// *I hope it will help my friends who are learning Korean.

《Movie: Taking Woodstock(2009) } 》
Today in the late afternoon, I suddenly went to see a movie ‘Taking Woodstock(2009) ‘ with 2 friends of mine。 Why did I suddenly see that movie? Em….. today at noon, I got/received a message on my cell-phone from my friend. She asked me “Why don’t we go to a movie, how about it?” sounds more natural. I sent a reply right away “Why not?Good! See you at 3:30pm!”.So we three friends had a sudden movie time. A few days ago, by chance, I read a column about this movie in a newspaper, and that columnist made reference to a scene where one policeman who put a flower on his motorcycle helmet to enter the hippies crowd.Maybe he was very impressed with her. And now I will talk about this movie very briefly. This movie`s is set in the 1960s.
The setting of this movie is a small city in the USA in the 1960s, and and it` s a story founded on fact. The story is begins with one young man who he would prepare for a rock festival at his village, and had experienced all kinds of happenings….Through that movie I saw many kinds of hippies`s fashion, style, thoughts and act/conducts etc. I found it very interesting.
Ang-Lee is this movie’s director, who already filmed the movies ‘Brokeback Mountai]’ and ‘ Lust, Caution’ etc. But most of his movies had heavy subjects, but this movie dealt with more humorous and pleasant things, and was shot from a different viewpoint/ angle. Anyway, it was not a bad thing that I could return to 30~40 years ago , and see and feel interesting hippies`s atmosphere with me. Ok, then bye ~ Good night! ※oh— one more, very interesting view of this movie, Many hippies`s having bath in a river completely naked, drug and homosexuality etc, all of those hippies`s atmosphere were shot through a very natural angle .It was not a through heavy angle, rather as through a lilting and very humorous focus. So we can enjoy this movie as a feeling of going on a picnic with the hippies`s. And the other interesting thing, this movie is called as a musical movie but there` was no music scene.

오늘 저녁 나는 ' 테이킹 우드스탁 Taking Woodstock(2009)' 이라는 영화를 보았습니다.오늘 영화를 보러 가게 된 연유는 아래와 같습니다.오늘 낮에 친구 문자가 날아 왔는데 "오늘 우리 영화 볼까? 괜찮아? "그래서 나는 즉시 답을 보냈습니다. " 좋지! 그럼, 3시 반에 만나! "그 래서 우리 셋은 갑자기 영화를 보게 된 거랍니다.
마침 며칠 전 신문 칼럼 난에서 이 영화의 평론을 보았는데, 거기에서 경찰이 헬멧에 꽃을 꽂은 장면을 언급 했더군요. 아마 그녀는 그 장면이 가장 인상 깊었었나 봅니다.
그러면, 지금 이 영화에 대해서 간단히 말 해 볼게요.
이 영화는 배경이 1960년대로 작은 마을에서 록 페스티발을 열기 위해 준비 하는 청년 이야기며, 실제 사실을 바탕으로 한 영화라고 합니다.
여기에서 우리는 히피들의 다양한 모습과 행동들을 볼 수 있어 흥미롭습니다.
감독 '이 안'은 이미 ‘[Brokeback Mountain]’그리고 ‘[色, 戒, Lust, Caution)]등 유명한 영화를 찍었습니다. 그러나 그 대부분의 영화들의 주제가 무거운 반면에, 이 영화에서는 유쾌하고 유머스러운 모습을 보여줍니다.
어찌 되었던 간에 30~40년 전의 사회로 돌아가 함께 즐길 수 있어서 꽤 괜찮았습니다.
그럼, 모두 안녕히 주무셔요!
※---아~~ 또 여러분들에게 알려 주고 싶은 재미있는 부분들은, 수많은 히피족들이 강에서 전라로 자연스럽게 목욕을 하는 장면이나, 마약, 동성애 등등의 장면 등 히피들의 모습들을 자연스러운 각도에서 찍은 점 입니다. 이는 어둡고 무거운 각도에서 벗어나 모두 유쾌하고 유머스러운 한 각도에서 찍은 점이며, 이는 또 ‘[Brokeback Mountain]과는 완전히 다른 모습입니다.그래서 저도 그들/히피들과 함께 가벼운 소풍을 간 듯한 느낌으로 이 영화를 즐길 수 있었습니다.
