Lift the curtain - 'They call it Myanmar' (图)

最近巧了, 先是AMA妹妹寄给我看"The Lady", 是法国大导演吕贝宋导演,杨紫琼主演的昂山素季, 而后不久就读到了顾大狭的缅甸邪恶行.

AMA和顾剑两个很成功地激发了我们对缅甸的兴趣,于是在YOUTUBE里查了很多缅甸的风光片, 的确是异国烟云佛塔风情. 还有网友提到的电影"逃出仰光", 我也从NETFLIX里借来看了. 不值一提几乎看不下去, 是闭门造车的好来钨烂片, 迎合的是部分闭塞无知的美国人的自大心理.

前两天和在康乃尔教书的朋友又聊起对缅甸的向往, 她说他们学校物理系的一位老教授拍了一部文献片, 叫做 Lift the curtain - "They call it Myanmar", 是今年最HOT的文献片, 横扫2012年所有的电影节, 并且获奖无数.

朋友随即CUT/PASTE了她们学校的NEWSLETTER, 康乃尔叫这部电影为 the Cornellian Film, 我看了片花, 很喜欢, 放到这里来和大家分享.

Cornell Physics Prof’s film “THEY CALL IT MYANMAR” RELEASES NOVEMBER 13 ON DVD AND DIGITAL Featuring Nobel Peace Prize Winner Aung San Suu Kyi “

’They Call it Myanmar’ is a thing of beauty… a hymn to a land that has grown out of the oldest cultures in Asia.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“The definitive film on a country… a notable and often heartbreaking documentary.” —Hollywood Reporter

“The documentary is as quietly enthralling as Myanmar’s people. Variously tough and poetic.” – Los Angeles Times

After successful theatrical openings in over 100 U.S. cities and with President Obama now scheduled for an unprecedented Nov. 19th visit to Burma, THEY CALL IT MYANMAR: LIFTING THE CURTAIN is getting a wide release on DVD and many Digital platforms. A Critics’ Pick of The New York Times, the film provides an astonishing and rare look inside Burma. Shot clandestinely over a three-year period by best-selling novelist, filmmaker and Cornell University physicist Robert H. Lieberman (’62) and produced by Deborah C. Hoard (MS ’78), this unique documentary lifts the curtain to expose the everyday life in a country held in the iron grip of a brutal military regime for 48 years. It paints a moving and inspiring portrait of present-day Burma and provides an overview of the nation’s history and its people. A trailer can be seen at: http://www.theycallitmyanmar.com The film releases on November 13 from Docurama Films, a label of Cinedigm Entertainment Group. It features Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, recently released from house arrest after spending nearly two decades as a political prisoner. This year, Suu Kyi received the United States Congressional Gold Medal for her pro-democratic work in Burma.
