电影是夢想還是夢魘？ | Movie is dream or nightmare? -- “谷哥点名 #5”

电影是一種娛樂。 Movie is entertainment.

电影是一種回憶。 Movie is memory.

电影是一個夢想。 Movie is dream.

电影是一盤生意。 Movie is business.

电影亦可以是一種武器！是一場惡夢！ Movie can also be weapon! nightmare!

小時候生活貧乏，一年難得可以跟姑媽姑丈到戲院看一套「最佳拍檔」，當年的电影特技讓我這未見過世面的小孩看得如癡如醉。

When I was young, we were so poor that the only chance of watching movie was an yearly event. We enjoyed the special effects in "Aces Go Places" movie very much.

後來每逢農曆年的成龍賀歲电影是過年時指定的節目。為的是觀看當中那些精心設計，經過長時間練習，多番NG才拍攝成功的動作打鬥場面。

Then came movies of Jackie Chan during Chinese New Years. It was a must watch for us. I liked the well designed, practiced action scenes which were shot only after many NGs.

男生沒有不喜歡港產武俠电影的，想當年李連杰的黃飛鴻系列，一直到近年甄子丹的葉問系列，我從沒有錯過。

Chinese youngsters all like Hong Kong Chinese Kung Fu movies. Jet Li and Donnie Yen were my favorites and I never missed any of their signature movies.

电影之所以令我着迷，就是一班真人經過無限想像力，無限的努力，用有限的人力，拍攝出無限的夢之世界。

It is the imagination, hard work of real people in the movie industry which make an infinite world of dream comes to life that fascinated me.

直到電腦特技的成熟，現在已經沒有不可能拍攝的場面。千軍萬馬也好，超級天災也好，甚至是地球或者是其他天體的毀壞全部都可以利用電腦製作出來。問題只是有多少資料可以利用。有多少超級電腦，多少時間，多少人材，這些資源就決定了電腦特技製作出來的电影的真實性。

Nowadays, the Computer Graphics (CG) technology is so mature that virtually any scene can be realized by CG. It is just a matter of resources, in terms of computer power, time and technicians. Resources in your hand dictate how realistic is the movie you produced.

單純的從电影或者娛樂事業的角度看，電腦特技越先進成熟，整個行業應該會更為進步。但是作為一個從小就被科幻小說荼毒的我，不知為何總想起小學時代看過的一本科幻小說的情節，詳情已經記不起來，大約就是關於政府發佈一系列的影片來證明自己是受害者，從而得到市民大眾的支持去打擊異己，令整個社會牢牢的被控制着。只有極少數人知道所謂真相其實只是由電腦製作出來的幻影。廿多年前的科幻小說中的技術，現在已經不再是幻想，而是只要有錢就可以得到的技術。

From a pure movie or entertainment business point of view, the more advance CG technology is the better. But I can't keep myself from thinking about a sci-fi I read during my primary school age. It's about a government made use of series of videos to control their citizens. Only very limited minority knew that all the "truth" were CG generated. Technologies read in sci-fi more than 20 years ago is now not inaccessible.

香港的網絡世界一向喜歡「有圖有真相」甚至「有片有真相」。但是現在「圖」「片」還可以確認是真相嗎？

In Hong Kong, we talk about "No fact stands without pictures" or "No fact stands without videos". But can "pictures" and "movies" prove themselves now?

喜歡陰謀論的我又進入幻想模式：

Let me dive into my own fantasy again

美國突然發佈由影片，證實有外星智慧生命體，美國已經秘密跟外星人交流數年，時機成熟，對外公佈。

USA surprises the world with video showing Aliens do exist! US government have been communicating with the Aliens for years.

美國再發佈由外星人傳授的環保科技，由海水提煉氫，氧再用於日常發電科技將全面平民化，幾年內可全面取代化石燃料。

Aliens taught US government green technology that can replace fossil fuels in near future. US government demonstrated the new technology with videos.

所有化石燃料價格全面崩盤。依靠化石燃料出口的國家全部破產，資產全部被美國企業以極低價收購。

Global fossil fuels prices collapse. Countries depend on fossil fuels bankrupt. US companies acquire all fossil fuels assets with extremely low prices.

美國再發佈外星人因本身問題要緊急離開地球，技術轉移未能100%完成，地球短期內要繼續依靠化石燃料。由於全球幾乎所以化石燃料都由美國企業所控制，價格全由美國主導，美國輕鬆控制全球經濟，能源，基本上成為世界主宰。

Videos show Aliens urgently return to their home due to emergency issues. Technology transfer incomplete. The world has to depends on fossil fuels again. USA dominate fossil fuels market. Global economy and energy all under US control. US becomes the world's real leader!
