Fun 5
Q&A
1. What’s your favorite movie in the past five years? 过去五年来最喜欢的电影?
The Rover is just a really good movie, devoid of spectacle. It shows that there’s parts of Australia already indiscernible from a hypothetical apocalypse.
《沙海漂流人》是一部非常棒的电影,影片没有任何景色渲染。表现出澳大利亚部分地区已经跟理论上的世界末日没什么区别了。
2. Favorite movie of all time? 有史以来最喜欢的电影?
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest is amazing – it was an excellent book, and an even better movie.
《飞越疯人院》很棒,小说写的很不错,电影拍的更好。
3. Best TV series out right now? 现在最喜欢的电视剧?
Halt and Catch Fire is great because its so well acted and written. It also takes place in a more familiar 80s than some of the current ham fisted nostalgia. It also shows that the pioneers of this industry were undoubtedly eccentric and led turbulent lives. (Plus everyone is pretty)
《奔腾年代》很好,演技好,剧本也好。故事发生时间是更为熟悉的80年代,不是现在那种笨拙的怀旧感。故事讲述了计算机行业的先锋人物,毫无疑问,他们性格古怪,生活跌宕起伏。
4. Favorite sound? 最喜欢的音乐?
Psalm 69 was the first album I listened to over and over, I had the cassette, then bought the CD, it was the first time I really loved music. It was also the most amazing album to hear live.
《Psalm 69》是我第一个反复听很多遍的专辑,我买了磁带,也买了CD,这是我第一次真正爱上音乐。也是现场版最棒的专辑。
5. Favorite children’s story? 最喜欢的儿童故事?
Where the wild things are I loved because the monsters weren’t the bad guys, I don’t think kids think like that.
我喜欢《野兽家园》,故事中的野兽并不是坏人,小孩子不会把它们当成坏人。
We invite each of the creatives we profile to tag another interesting person for the series. Kosta is recommending, China based, DoP, Richie Kendall.
