【 HBO《切爾諾貝爾》戲服公司工場臨時改為製造口罩助抗疫 】
新型冠狀病毒(COVID-19)疫情持續快將三個月,全球確診個案已突破140萬宗。截止周二(7/4),確診人數最多的美國和西班牙,分別有超過40萬人及14.6萬人染病,荷李活製作完全暫停,而曾經為HBO神劇《切爾諾貝爾:傷心的兒童》(Chernobyl)和占士邦電影系列製作戲服、總部位於西班牙馬德里的服裝公司Peris Costumes,其行政總裁Javier Toldeo日前在官網發表公開信,開首第一句便說:「我們如活在一個真實比虛構故事更可怕的惡夢裏!(We are living a nightmare in which reality overcomes fiction. )」之後宣布公司位於馬德里以及葡萄牙首都里斯本的工場,會臨時改為製作口罩、防護長袍及頭罩等,並會捐給前線醫護、醫院、社區會堂、社會服務機構和警察宿舍,亦會派發給有需要長者。(詳見:https://bit.ly/2UTFSTS)
Javier承認,面對嚴峻疫情,「此舉只是杯水車薪(Just a drop in the ocean),但已經幫到很多人。」Javier又在公開信中呼籲,有意一同抗疫的不同單位能夠主動聯絡,他們會樂意提供製作方式、布料和各種有用物資。不過,Peris Costumes和Javier本人的公開信中,沒有提供更多參考資料,指出由他們生產的防護衣物,是否符合國際認證標準。
由HBO和英國天空廣播(Sky UK)聯合製作的《切爾諾貝爾:傷心的兒童》,Craig Mazin負責編劇、Johan Renck執導,2019年5月上架,將1986年切爾諾貝爾核電廠爆炸事故發生之後的人和事,分開5集重現觀眾眼前,此劇在多個地方取景,而且集中在立陶宛,包括首都維爾紐斯(Vilnius)、東部城市維薩吉納斯(Visaginas),以及伊格納利納核電廠(Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant)取景,拍攝期長達4個月,由於故事真實還原30年前的歷史,帶出極權統治下普羅百姓從來都是統治者棋子的訊息,配合大量充滿警世意味的對白,播出後大受歡迎,並於年初舉行的「第77屆金球獎」(77th Golden Globe Awards)勇奪迷你劇組最佳劇集和最佳男配角兩項大獎(https://bit.ly/2UW24Nm)。現時觀眾可以在HBO GO或者透過now e串流服務點播此劇。

【切爾諾貝爾的教訓】
本來想看,沒有時間,到近來因為武漢肺炎,HBO的Chernobyl成為話題之作,週末五小時睇完。很多內地網民以此劇比較今天中國被指隱瞞疫情的狀況,的確今天重溫1986年前蘇聯企圖隱瞞切爾諾貝爾核電廠意外,不難有此聯想,共產黨官僚控制資訊,聽到不喜歡的意見就說是「假消息」,政治操控為先、偉大的黨不會犯錯的態度,也許令人氣憤,但本劇更要我們思考的是,什麼是真相,人們應該如何面對謊言和真相。
切爾諾貝爾的故事中,還有很多值得尊敬的角色,無論是勇敢尋找真相的科學家,還是在缺乏對輻射保護下捨身救災的核電廠工人、消防員、護士,甚至是明知生命危險而深入險境的礦工。劇中的發掘真相的主角科學家(真人真事),令人想起李文亮醫生,不過,李醫生死於自己想向國家、人民作出預警的病毒,劇中的主角亦於迫害和核輻射影響健康下,選擇結束自己生命。在極權下,說出真相的代價,往往都是:死。
雖然當時才剛上台不久的戈巴喬夫後來曾經說過,切爾諾貝爾是蘇共倒台的轉捩點,當年蘇聯與今日中國卻大不同,始終,核電意外前,戈巴喬夫已經開始進行政治開放改革,中國和習近平在走的方向卻是相反,所以,恐怕要想武漢肺炎能帶來同樣的政治改革,未必能如願。然而,無論人們理它不理它,真相都繼續存在,問題反是,人們為謊言付出的代價,要多大?
一些金句:
"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all. What can we do then?
"What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories. In these stories, it doesn't matter who the heroes are. All we want to know is: who is to blame?" -- Episode 1 (0:35)
(當科學家向核電廠負責人提出對意外成因不同意見時,負責人說:)"It's disgraceful, really. To spread disinformation at a time like this." -- Episode 2 (24:50)
"When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it's even there but it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs as a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid." -- Episode 5 (52:00)
"To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for truth that we fail to consider how few actually wants us to find it. But it is always there whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants. It doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait, for all time. And this, at least is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask, what is the cost of lies." -- Episode 5 (59:30)

Video Title: How North Korea Held the Greatest Pro Wrestling Event in History
"Pyongyang, 1995. The lone American made his way down a long, dingy hallway, past several North Korean officials. He was nervous, afraid of what was to come - not just because of the constant surveillance he was under, but the state of the entire country. You see North Korea was in the midst of a devastating famine, with hundreds of thousands of its citizens suffering and dying from starvation and illnesses. He didn’t know what to expect, but he was there for a reason, and he had a job to do. At the entrance, he got his cue, and with one final breath, he stepped out, into what was a sea of humanity. Now this wasn’t just any crowd. This was a 190,000 North Koreans who were conditioned to see Americans as evil - who did not know pro wrestling was staged, that it was predetermined and choreographed, and here was a man - a blond-haired American man - who embodied everything they were legitimately told to hate. This man was the legendary Ric Flair, one of the greatest American professional wrestlers of all time, and at this moment he was wondering what he had gotten himself into. Now this happened in April, 1995, but the events that led to this, actually started 11 months earlier..."

Video Title: This Is The Greatest Bank Heist in Japanese History
"Tokyo. December 10th, 1968. It was pouring rain. The bank manager of the Nihon Trust bank was on edge. Someone had threatened his life and those around him over the past few months. Just four days prior, a letter (one of recent many) was sent to his personal residence demanding 300 million yen or his house would be blown up with dynamite. The letter was made up of characters cut out and pasted from movie magazines. Police were notified, and indeed they kept a close eye on the bank and his home. Though this did not ease the mind of the bank manager who shared his concerns with his branch employees. Now of course, this is Japan, and work is work - the show must go on. With this in mind, the bank manager went on with his duties sending four of his employees to the nearby Toshiba factory to make a scheduled drop. So off they went taking the company car, but not long after leaving the bank the four heard police sirens approaching. At that very moment they happened to be next to a prison of all places. A police officer screeched to a halt in front of the car, and frantically got off his motorcycle to warn them..."

[HOW WOULD YOU ESCAPE NORTH KOREA? (THE 7 CHOICES)]
If you were living in North Korea right now - trying to survive on a diet of rats, grass, soil and tree bark, quenching your thirst by drinking out of mud puddles in the ground - what would you do?
There's also the conceivable chance of being sent to a political prison camp for years on end just because you innocently thought out loud one day to a bunch of friends (North Korean propaganda is strong), where you are then beaten, tortured, and left so hungry that you are forced to dig and consume the grains out of faeces, or the maggots from dead bodies just so you have the energy to perhaps last one more day.
You'd probably wanna escape. But how?
The North Korean government in Pyongyang refuses to let its citizens leave, a clear violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, viewing North Korean defectors as traitorous criminals. Captured North Koreans would be subject to unimaginable torture and often public executions.
If they are successful in their escape, then three to four generations of their family back home would be sent to North Korean prison camps to rot ....or worse. This is a strong deterrent.
But this still doesn't stop desperate North Koreans from tempting fate. In this video, I'll go over the seven ways to escape the DPRK, including the most dangerous, the most unforgiving, the most unique, and the most unexpected.
The North Korean border on the south side (ie. South Korean border / Korean DMZ) is the shortest distance to travel for safety and stability but as a result, the regime makes it dangerously hard. A North Korean escapee can be shot down by North Korean soldiers (border guards) or step on the many landmines in the area.
The northern border to China has it's own set of challenges. Most North Korean refugees escape through this way, usually crossing the Tumen River border (like the famous North Korean defector Hyeonseo Lee). Once in China, the nightmare doesn't end there.
There are also other, more unconventional ways you can try to escape such as through North Korean labor camps.
Even if you make it to safety and resettle in a stable country, the North Korean regime will still try to hunt you down, so you're never truly safe. Especially if you're an outspoken critic or a threat to Kim Jong-un's power - just ask his half brother, Kim Jong-nam.
