一場可怕的瘟疫席捲了整個世界,滿世界被瘟疫襲倒之後,成百上千萬的屍體被感染變成了吸血的殭屍。不管是死人還是活人,只要被殭屍吸去鮮血,就會也立刻殭屍.殭屍電影的真正集大成之作是A·羅梅羅的《殭屍三部曲》之二,拍攝於1979年的《殭屍的黎明》(Dawn of the dead)。這部投資依然不足500k的小電影帶來了全美超過20M,全球超過55M的驚人票房,也徹底奠定了羅梅羅殭屍電影大師的地位。《殭屍的黎明》在完善了殭屍基本設定的同時,成功的引進了之後始終佔據核心地位的城市元素。破敗無人的大型城市,四處遊走的喪屍,絕望的尋求生存的人類,DOTD幾乎可以被稱為現代殭屍電影字典。更可貴的是,在恐怖,逃亡以外,羅梅羅不吝筆墨的大量描寫了人處於極端環境中的各種心理活動: 恐懼,迷茫,瘋狂,種群概念模糊的失落等等,這些元素綜合在一切,終於使殭屍電影超越了初級的恐怖電影,進化為了一類非常獨特的類型。而《殭屍的黎明》本身也被供為了殭屍影迷心中的神作,成為了clut經典。
《早安》是小津安二郎少有的喜劇,仍以他一貫對日常生活中人性的細膩觀察,巧妙地與輕鬆喜趣的橋段結合,呈現樸實卻動人的人間情味及警世寓言。 東京市郊的住宅區,林啟太郎的兩個小孩終日嚷著要買電視,忍不住斥責他們多嘴,沒想到兩個小子抗議回嘴,「大人的廢話更多,什麼『早安』、『午安』都是多餘!」父親要他們閉嘴,他們果真來個無聲抗議。另一方面,幾個婆婆媽媽的家庭主婦因為銀行的存款不翼而飛,而鬧出個解不開的風波。小兄弟的無聲抗議對照街坊鄰居的八卦碎念,街角巷弄的茶壺風暴就從最平凡也最常說的「早安!」開始蔓延…… 《早安》透過幾個天真爛漫孩子的童言無忌,以孩子的童真對比成年人的利慾薰心與虛妄,一語道破成年人世界的種種猜疑與固執,是一部既大搞放屁笑話,又發人深省的作品。子女、父母、婆媳關係,從來都無完美的關係,家家有本難念的經,但始終得從家庭裡透過溝通才能解開。一句早安化千怨,小津安二郎一方面點出看似無聊的說話所能產生的巨大影響,另一方面也點出這些看似無意義的閒話,卻是現代社會不可分割的產物,儘管大家知道是多餘的東西,卻仍樂此不疲的大談分享,近半世紀前的作品,對照今日社會仍諷刺萬千。 小津安二郎曾說,「《早安》這個故事是很久以前醞釀的,描述人們平常無聊話說得熱絡,一但要談正事時,怎麼談都不投機。」美學大師蔣勳也曾表示對《早安》此片的喜愛,「清晨月台候車,人與人的寒暄,『早安啊──』、『天氣好ㄚ──』、『謝謝啊──』、『勞駕了──』完全沒有內容的對話,是日本到現代仍然保持的許多生活裡的「敬語」。像王羲之手帖裡重覆說的「頓首頓首」,沒有特別意義,但是歷經戰亂,顛沛流離,生死聚散,只能珍惜說「敬語」的一點幸福了。」

Once upon a time... consumer goods were built to last.

Combining investigative research and rare archive footage with analysis by those working on ways to save both the economy and the environment, this documentary charts the creation of ‘engineering to fail’, its rise to prominence and its recent fall from grace.
