台湾正盛行的名模风,令女生没有完美的身材比例,似乎就愧于作为女人,但HBO自制电影「曲线窈窕非梦事」,却要挑战这种传统对女生外表的错误定义! 「曲线窈窕非梦事」「Real Women Have Curves」,是根据编剧乔瑟芬娜洛培兹自己的亲身经历,当时开始写剧本的她,只有19岁,由一个青涩的少女看未来的成年世界,也因为年少的单纯勇气,让很多复杂的传统价值观迷思,在她的笔下都有了解放。 尤其当剧情演到成衣工厂里,所有女工在炙热难熬的厂里,疯狂地脱下衣服,坦承自己所有赘肉食,更是让人想为这几个女生的勇气,站起来鼓掌!也难怪本片在2002年坎城影展中,被「综艺日报」列为「10位杰出制片」,同年更获得日舞影展两次肯定。 导演派翠西亚卡多索当初找赞助时,曾面临赞助财团因为市场性,而要求演员依旧要瘦瘦的模特儿,但在一路坚持下,她幸运得到HBO的青睐与支持,不过之后却也跨了美国4个洲、耗费了2个多月,才将角色一一找齐。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
