若不是曾經到訪過愛爾蘭,也許不會對《敗犬求婚日 Leap Year》(2010)有太大反感。
.
劇中,艾美.亞當斯(Amy Adams)所飾演的紐約室內設計師安娜因為遲遲等不到男友結婚,偶然得知愛爾蘭在閏年的2月29日有著女性可向男性求婚的傳統,於是邀請男友前往都柏林。不過理應先抵達目的地的她,卻因為天氣影響,班機迫降威爾斯,只好改搭漁船,乘風破浪來到愛爾蘭西南部小鎮丁格爾。
.
在此地,她與粗魯的馬修.古迪(Matthew Goode)飾演的酒館老闆迪克蘭相識,在大眾運輸欠奉的情況下,出高價請他擔任司機。與傳統好萊塢愛情電影的公式沒有任何不同,條件相差甚遠的這對男女相看相厭,隨著旅程的種種波折,情愫慢慢滋生。等到終於要拉回現實之後,變數也為之產生。
.
角色之間的確存在化學反應,但本片問題恐怕不在演員本身的魅力。而是編導一廂情願地將愛爾蘭視為一個充滿迷信、奇異風俗的化外之地,不僅如此,保守的民宿老闆不允許非單身旅客入住(卻願意在眾人面前大方舌吻),竟還有設法搶人行李的暴力集團,彷彿這個背景的存在只是為了讓美國人有種冒險、獵奇的快感,與現實無涉。愛爾蘭即便已經早已進入先進國家之列,但進入到美國電影視野,還是要還原成20世紀時的舊有刻板形象。
.
至於閏年求婚的文化,原先傳遞的價值其實有其運用空間。它打破了求婚只能是由男性對女性提出的傳統,女主角安娜在美國不敢主動,打算利用愛爾蘭傳統來壯膽,顯見她的心態仍然保守不前。能否透過這段旅程改變舊有思維,成為主動求婚的那一個人,顯然是結局看點。但編導顯然不願剝奪所謂的男性尊嚴,給了觀眾一個最理所當然的收場,使得本片大費周章設立的前提毫無用武之地,角色的成長顯得相當有限。
.
愛爾蘭的美景盡收眼底,相信這樣的作品也能帶來旅遊效應,不過究竟彰顯了多少愛爾蘭文化的人情與文化底蘊,卻相當令人懷疑。看在美國觀眾眼裡,也都覺得彆扭,爛番茄僅給予23%分,愛爾蘭媒體的批判尤其猛烈,《愛爾蘭時報》影評人唐納.克拉克(Donald Clarke)語帶諷刺地指出:「期望劇組不要選中國為下一個拍攝地,那個國家的人可能不會接受。」顯然,對好萊塢來說,得罪愛爾蘭人的風險確實遠低於得罪中國人。
.
有趣的還有男主角馬修.古迪本人的反應,他在這部片遭受猛烈砲轟之後,含蓄地說之所以會簽約接演,只不過是因為拍攝地點離家很近。

📱Smartphones Transformed Everything. Now, There’s More Disruption to Come.
智慧型手機改變一切,顛覆正要開始
💡The advent of the smartphone marked the merging of man and machine. These devices might not be embedded into our forearms just yet, but they have so seismically changed how we operate and interact as humans over the past decade that we’re all effectively cyborgs now. We’re each wholly devoted to these tiny unknowable machines, rarely out of hand or at the very least rarely out of reach.
智慧型手機的問世象徵著人與機器的融合。雖然這些裝置尚未植入我們的前臂中,但在過去十年來,智慧型手機已大大地改變了人類的操作和互動方式,以至於現在的我們都可說是經過改造的生化人。我們所有人都對這些微小而未知的機器投注全心全意,幾乎人手一機,絕非遙不可及。
🍀IBM’s Simon Personal Communicator, which was released in 1994, was the first touch-screen machine to merge phone, email and PDA. It took 2007’s first-gen iPhone, however, to spark the smartphone’s rise from novelty to ubiquity. In early 2010, hand-held devices took a major leap, with global sales doubling from roughly 50 million devices in the first quarter of that year to about 100 million in the fourth quarter. Smartphone-sales-per-quarter eventually surged to a peak of more than 400 million units during the final few months of 2016.
1994年即問世的IBM Simon 個人通信器是第一台將電話、電子郵件和PDA功能整合再一起的觸控式手機。然而,2007年第一代 iPhone才真正激起智慧型手機的風潮,智慧型手機從奇貨可居變成無處不在。2010年初手持式裝置的銷售急速飛漲,全球銷量從當年第一季的五千萬部手機暴增到第四季的一億,整整漲了一倍。在2016年最後幾個月裡,每季度銷量飆升到歷史峰值,銷售量超越四億部智慧型手機。
🎯As our digital addiction grew, so did our dependence on apps, said Shawn DuBravac, futurist and the bestselling author of “Digital Destiny: How the New Age of Data Will Transform the Way We Work, Live, and Communicate.” The ease that each little temptress of an icon offered, whether to call an Uber, order Seamless or find a mate, created the “disruption” that defined the 2010s. “All the good that smartphones have brought—and all the bad they’ve brought—over the last 10 years is because smartphones made transactions easier,” said Mr. DuBravac.
未來學家暨《數位命運:數據新時代如何改變我們的工作、生活和交流》一書作者肖恩・杜布拉瓦克認為,隨著人們對數位成癮,我們對於應用程式的依賴性也同步增加。一個個app圖示都能提供無比便利性,好比Uber共乘、訂購Seamless食物外送服務或是尋找社交伴侶,一同締造了2010年代所定義的「顛覆式創新」。「過去十年來,智慧型手機帶來的所有好處—以及隨之而來的種種壞處都是因為智慧型手機讓交易變得更容易。」杜布拉克說。

leap year 2010 在 ลงทุนแมน Facebook 的最讚貼文
สรุปเศรษฐกิจไทย ย้อนหลัง 35 ปี /โดย ลงทุนแมน
จริงๆ แล้ว ช่วงก่อนเกิด Covid-19 เศรษฐกิจไทยมีการเติบโตที่ชะลอตัวอยู่แล้ว
ซึ่งแน่นอนว่า การระบาดของ Covid-19 ก็ทำให้เศรษฐกิจของเรายิ่งย่ำแย่ลงไปอีก
ตอนนี้สงคราม Covid-19 ในประเทศไทยดูเหมือนจะใกล้จบลง...
Continue ReadingSummary of Thai economy 35 years back / by Investing Man.
In fact, before Covid-19, the Thai economy has slowed growth.
The Covid-19 outbreak certainly makes our economy worse.
Now the Covid-19 war in Thailand seems to be close to ending.
But the economic war we are facing seems to never end easily.
How interesting is this? Invest man will tell you about it.

One of the important beginnings that made Thailand's economy grow in the past. Happened in July. B.E. 1985
When the US that was a huge trade deficit, wanted to reduce USD in comparison to major currency such as Japanese yen and Western Germany's mark, that incident led to Plaza Accord deal.
Even Thailand doesn't directly contribute to such things, but the weakening of US dollars has greatly positively affected the economy of Thailand.
At that time, Thailand has a baht bankrupted with 10 currency basket of the world's main currency. But over 80 % is tied to the USD. This is why the export sector of Thailand has an anime. Let's go too.
Moreover, Japanese yen is heavier than it hits the country's export sector.
This makes the government and private sector of Japan need to look for potential manufacturing bases to do exports, especially in countries where there is no higher wage costs.
While the unrest is neat because the war between Vietnam and Cambodia has resulted in Thailand to become the top choice of Japan and many countries.
Foreign direct investment comes into Thailand to create a phenomenon called the decade of growth of Thailand.
Eastern Seaboard Development Area Development Project is also available for heavy industrial development to create economic value for Thailand in the long term.
This story is why during 1987-1996, the Thai economy grows on average 9.3 % per year, especially in 1988 that has reached 13.3 % level.
This story makes many people say that Thailand will become the 5th tiger of Asia or countries where the economy is rapidly evolving like Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. These 4 countries have become now developed countries.
But this kind of picture that many people hope to happen to Thailand again. It seems to be faded.
Because in the past 10 years, Thai economy has likely slowed down continuously.
Year 2010-2014 GDP Thailand grows on average 3.9 % per year.
Year 2015-2019 GDP Thailand grows on average 3.4 % per year.
The latest in 1 quarter, 2020 Thai economy is 1.8 % negative and it's quite certain that the 2th quarter is ending. Thai economy will be heavily negative because of losing tourists and social distances.
Year 2019 export sector worth 7.6 trillion baht or around 45 % of GDP value.
The income from foreign tourists is worth 1.9 trillion baht or around 11 % of GDP.
The competitiveness of these 2 industries is also based on the movement of Baht.
Now the baht is getting heavier again. Many people are concerned that it will affect future export and tourism income. Even Covid-19 situation in Thailand will look better.
Even the Bank of Thailand is trying to take care of the money from being too hard by selling Baht and buying US dollars.
The evidence is that the Bank of Thailand's international reserve capital has risen more than $ 10,000 million in March to May this year, but it seems that the baht continues to rise.
Of course, the hardness of the baht is both good and bad.
But for Thailand relying on exports and tourism in a greater proportion, it seems to be negatively affecting the Thai economy in the overview.
In the past, we often hear news that many companies gradually close business. Many companies reduce investment. Due to not being able to tolerate the economic downturn, we see increasing number of unemployed countries.
End of quarter 1/2019 There are 346,480 unemployed people in Thailand.
End of quarter 1/2020 There are 391,770 unemployed people in Thailand.
When combined with new graduates entering the labour market, around 400,000 people may increase the number of unemployed in the future.
Information from the industrial department indicates that the number of licensed and informed companies are likely to decrease.
First 4 months of 2019 number of 1,054 Factory
First 4 months of 2020 number of 876 Factory
Moreover, foreign direct investment, which is an investment in the real economic sector through bringing resources, manufacturing, labor and technology into destination countries. Most of which are long-term investments for Thailand are likely to slow down since 2018
Year 2018 Foreign direct investment equals 426,749 million Baht.
Year 2019 Foreign direct investment equals 196,350 million Baht.
Specifically, the investment from Japan in 2019 is reduced to just 79,264 million baht below the level of hundred thousand million baht for the first time since 2015
It seems that the situation of Thailand's Covid-19 is slowly getting better, but there are many things that are challenging the country's economy.
How do we get the country back to growth
How can we make our country move beyond developing countries into developed countries?
To make Thai people live better lives.
Which questions these questions.
It's a question that has been in the heart of many Thai people for long
And it should continue to be the question of our children's generation..
