《星期二特写: 一房世界》

我一向来都嘲笑八频道的连续剧。对于它的综艺节目,更是加以讽刺。但在编剧制作方面,有一项节目值得赞扬,举起双手支持。至四月七日,我都按时把八频道播出的 《星期二特写: 一房世界》 (Tuesday Report: Life In A One-Room Flat) 录下, 等晚上迟点或隔天才看。

我国一房式政府组屋居者大多数是老人家或低收入家庭。居者都缴廉价租金给建屋发展局。说实话,很多人对一房式组屋没有什么认识,更不知道这些组屋区在这小岛的哪一个角落。我做家访时也常去一房式组屋陪独居的乐岭人士。但对其他扇门后的人与事就不过问了。《一房世界》给予一房式政府组屋居者脸孔,描述了居者的生活,嗜好等,让电视机前的观众了解一下。

《星期二特写》系列已经有好多年的制作历史了。 三十分钟的片段反映了新加坡的另一面。每一系列的主题随着时代而变迁,从个人经历和社会关注的人与事题材- 未婚妈妈,残障人士,问题少年,毒品等等。共同点是,拍摄和编导都没有花容玉貌,就献上真实故事教育民众,开阔眼线。想看的话,除了坐在电视机前, 也可以从mobtv.sg下载。(当然要付钱咯。)

(编导:郑乔荭) 昨晚特写了70几岁的麦老先生和麦老太太是芽龙巴鲁大牌62座附近一带出了名的恩爱夫妻。他们苦恋8年才结婚,结婚时已经高龄40几。去年,他们庆祝结婚30周年,由于没有子女,他们更加珍惜对方。风雨同舟30年,看他们如何在一房世界里维系一段美满的婚姻。

《一房世界》每一系列每一集叙说的人和事都不同。私人感想也不一样。这系列值得我花时间看,启发一点反省作用。今时,若没有某方面的提醒,我只会以自己为中心,将会忘了身边其他人。

i had to babel fish. got the gist of it.
it is commendable that you know your language well. i just never made it in school, despite tuition.

It's impossible to condense a lifetime into 30 minutes, but it's a pretty good documentary series.
Sometimes 八频道 can surprise even me.
But I'm not going to 付钱 to mobtv just to watch this... :P

say, what program do you use to "type" the Chinese script?

kikare said...

Humans are complex creatures, we live in constant dilemmas, that's why we need some sort of prompt/reminder to put things into perspective from time to time.
繼續做個漂亮又貪吃的好人啦:)

别担心,这绝对不是你 - 恰好相反。:)

mistipurple: online translators are cool. not totally good, but cool!

kachunknorge: hahaha. we just refuse to pay them eh! hmm. it's just the XP/windows language settings i turned on to type it. if you're using OS, enable chinese keyboard. for both, i use pinyin input.

kikare: yah lor. always. HEHEH. OEH, i is not 貪吃 ok! not that much right??! kekke.

Oooo I like 星期二特写!I hardly have time to catch it though- kids, work...不过如果一有空的话,我总会陪妈妈看。我虽然认识你的时间不长,对你的认识也不够深,可是从你在网上所写的点点滴滴可以知道你不可能是个以自己为中心的人,反而更觉得你是个蛮有情有义的人。不要笑哦,女人的知觉往往错不了多少。:P Thanks for sharing, it's been a privilege to read thus far.

哎呀! 不行 啦。 太罗索 了!我没内心: 打字打得太慢了!

imp said...

supercoati: 哇!太过讲啦!

kachunknorge: 不可以半途而废!继续努力就会快了!
