火球魅力之章

本片根据真人真事改编而成，描述的是六十年代末期，一名在核电厂工作的女工有感于不合理的工作制度和环境，开始参加工会活动，并搜集核电厂危害公众安全的证据，使她的工友纷纷敬而远之，最后就在她决定要将资料交给记者的时候，她却离奇的死亡了。

葛蘭被譽為「最會演戲的女明星」，身為電懋當家花旦之一，《六月新娘》當然不會令觀眾失望。她飾演的汪丹林陪伴父親由日本返港，預備與青梅竹馬的愛人結婚，卻因為一點小風波，險些白白斷送了大好姻緣。張愛玲的劇本一如以往的細膩，人物豐富、立體，描寫女性心理固然到家，男角也不流於陪襯，每個角色的背後似乎都隱藏不少故事有待發掘。演員一貫表現稱職，尤其是喬宏的「老粗」形象甚為搶鏡。有葛蘭當然少不了歌舞，三首插曲各有味道，值得細意品嘗。

影片以一个“绝不能离开”的小镇为舞台，讲述被追债的主人公“苍山”，在某日受到一名神秘男子的邀请而来到这个奇怪的小镇，他在和当地人的交流中逐渐了解了这里的秘密…。

《父母心》是獨立電影人約翰．卡薩維蒂於六十年代遇上荷里活製片之產物。故事講及精神科醫生畢蘭加士打聘請了來自音樂學院的朱迪．格蘭，於兒童精神病院利用嶄新手法教導外界認為無可救助的精神病兒童吉娜．羅蘭茲。片中兒童皆來自加州其中一間兒童精神中心，將這班被遺忘的一群真實地呈現在觀眾面前。都市人面對種種生活壓力，大量社會問題備受關注。當面對社會的陰暗面時，主流社會最初會以迴避的態度面對，而經過大量之社會運動、媒體報導等以令社會更多元、開放，以積極的態度去面對。這種社會心態轉變可能用上半個世紀，甚至更長時間。其中兒童問題從來都是一個敏感議題，而卡薩維蒂早在六十年代已利用光影之間揭示社會鮮為人知的一面，廣泛引起主流社會討論。卡薩維蒂是一位極具才華的獨立電影導演，游走於荷里活製作和獨立電影之間，利用偏鋒路線打破固有荷里活電影記事模式，注重強烈的演員性格去反映現實社會。本片被評為卡氏最為大膽作品之一，其寫實性令人嘆為觀止，創新起用精神病兒童在作品中表演。深刻地勾勒出這批非主流兒童的困境，打破大眾對他們的形象。而憑藉這齣先驅作品，我們更可以反思現時香港社會在這方面的缺失。As a result of co-operation between Cassavetes and Hollywood's producers, A Child is Waiting was shown in the 1960s. Burt Lancaster, a psychiatrist, hires Judy Garland to work at a psychiatric facility for children. Garland uses an innovative method to teach a mentally retarded child, Gena Rowland, who the world has turned its back on. Patients in the film were from a real life psychiatric institution, where this group of forsaken children was being honestly presented to the audience.City life is filled with all sorts of stress and problems. When facing the dark side of society, the mainstream community usually takes refuge in escapism. It is only after waves of social movements and media coverage that the people's attitudes about these problems would change and that they would take affirmative action about it. This process might take half century or longer. Children issue has always been a sensitive subject, yet Cassavetes has already chosen to show its untold stories in his film in the early sixties to arouse public discussion.Cassavetes was a talented independent filmmaker who also engaged in Hollywood productions. His works emphasized on his actors, and through their characters, instead of traditional storytelling techniques, explored the realities of society. This film was hailed as the most daring piece of Cassavetes' works. Its realism was praised, especially of his inclusion of real life patients. The patients' difficulties were profoundly illustrated so as to eradicate the public's prejudice against them. From this avant-garde work, we can even reconsider the situation of these issues in Hong Kong.source: Hong Kong Arts Centre
