Motion 歷險記

 　　可能是最近啃太多艾西莫夫的關係，早上騎車上班時，構思了這樣的電影大綱：
 　　主角是一名警察，將一宗連續殺人案抽絲剝繭之後，發現這宗連續殺人案竟與高懸多年未破的前總統選舉槍擊案相關。主角與夥伴繼續追查下去，才發現更驚人的秘密。
 　　原來前總統是一個追求脫離帝國獨立的組織利用高科技製造出來的機器人，除了刀槍不入與不會害羞的基本功能以外，也擁有超高的智慧能夠驅使群眾達到組織期望的目標。
 　　由於這是一部科幻動作片，所以最後也少不了主角和一群機器人戰鬥的橋段（當然也包含高速輪椅機器人）。最後遇上大魔王科學家，雖然科學家侃侃而談他的理想，但因為他殺了太多知道真相的人，也殺了主角的夥伴，主角還是決定讓他接受制裁。
 　　破案之後，主角接受現任年輕又帥氣的總統的表揚，這時，與許多機器人交手的經驗忽然在他腦海中浮現，然後他發現，原來現任總統也是與前總統同型的機器人，只是已經被帝國改造過........
 　　故事就結束了。

 

　　Do you believe that an expectant mother’s dream will affect her baby’s life? In my country people did.
　　We believed the dreams of those mothers’ were signs. A dragon might be the sign of a strong boy, or jewelry could mean babies’ rich life. Mothers wanted nice and uncommon dreams for their babies, or attempted to interpret the dreams splendid and rare. A mother would even buy a nice dream from her belongings if she didn’t have one. We still believe it now but with a little difference. It’s because of a quite ordinary story that happened a couple hundred years ago.
　　Jill was an ordinary girl because her mother got an ordinary dream for her, an apple tree. Her mother tried to interpret it more uncommon but couldn’t. How could an apple tree be uncommon when there were several apple trees in front of her house? She knew that her daughter, Jill, would have an ordinary life with those apple trees. A sign couldn’t be changed.
　　However, Jill enjoyed her ordinary life. As a 17-year-old girl, she didn’t have talents as the other girls with uncommon dreams, and she was not as attractive as some girls with picturesque dreams. She was so ordinary that she caught nobody’s eye. But she enjoyed her life. She liked her affable parents, her vivacious dog, their old house, the tranquil village and kindly people there. Especially she liked those apple trees because she knew they were her dreams. She treated the apple trees as her friends and tended them very carefully. For this reason, they grew very well.
　　In an afternoon, when she was reading a book to the trees, a young man came in front of her.

　　Every time I see freshmen looking at the map of Norman Hall say "Why is room 321 numbered 319 on the map?", I miss Samir.
　　Samir, my best friend, always challenged me to see who was bolder. "I'm not scared of ghosts." , I told him. "I don't believe that there are ghosts in the world." , and he usually repeated his challenge. To test our courage, we decided to play a game. We talked about the ghosts in Norman Hall at midnight. People said that it is a haunted building. Whichever of us felt afraid first would be the loser. I remember that the date we played the game was the 16th of March, 2001.
　　We entered Norman Hall secretly from an unlocked window and found an unlocked room on the 3rd floor. We lit a candle and began talking about the ghosts. I told Samir two of the scariest ghost stories I knew and tried to scare him, but he wasn't afraid at all. After that, we both felt hungry.
　　I knew that there was a refrigerator in a room nearby, so we went there, room 319. Fortunately, the door was not locked. Samir opened the door oddly that wasn't a room. We saw a stair down and couldn't see the end. We stepped on the stair curiously and the door suddenly disappeared. An unending stair up appeared behind us.
　　"What happened?", I said and wanted to go on walking, but Samir stopped me.
