花東彩虹嘉年華花蓮場邁入第十年。
宜蘭驕傲大遊行彩虹市集迎接第三年。
從一開始走在街頭會被人謾罵與批評，
走到現在的突破更多同溫層。 

看見好多居民從家門走出來，
有的微笑揮手、有的舉起彩虹旗迎接，
爺爺奶奶、爸爸媽媽帶著小孩，
用微笑和鼓勵迎接路上的每一個人。 

而市集，更是用擺攤的多元，
在日常生活與娛樂互動中和更多人對話。 

天氣照樣好到一個不行，
陽光灑落在現場每一個美好的人身上，
跟著志工們，我們拍手、跳舞、歌唱，
在每一個巷弄口、每一個逛市集的當下，和群眾對話。 

我們都是渴望幸福的人，
不論是走出來的人，還是在網路前的你們，
都希望能有一個人、一個地方、一個憩所，安放我們需要靠在一起的心。 

今年花蓮的訴求「十年有成，洄來相見」
宜蘭的訴求「異同龜鄉」
期盼每一位在外的遊子終有一天能驕傲的回家，驕傲的歸鄉。
進而紮根再擴散，
讓每一個人、每一種特質、每一種愛都能被尊重。
謝謝宜花東為平權而努力的每一個人，這條路很長，
我們繼續一起前進。 
 
 

This is the tenth year of the Hualian part of Eastern Taiwan Pride
This is the third year of Yilan Pride Bazaar
The hostile scolding and yelling in the beginning has turned into welcoming smiles 

Lots of locals came out of their houses
Some waved at us, some welcomed us with rainbow flags
Grandparents and parents bring their kids
to welcome everyone with smiles and encouragement 

The bazaar is a great way
to communicate the values of diversity through daily lives and fun activities 

The weather was great as always
Rays of sunlight radiated on everyone’s faces
We sang, danced and clapped along with the volunteers
in a stunning display in front of every corner of the streets 

We all want to live happily ever after
That includes people joining the parade or those of you in front of the computer
We long for a person, a place, a safe haven, to rest our tired, wary hearts 

The slogan for this year’s Hualian Pride is “Ten years and going strong” 

While that of Yilan’s is “Coming home, straight or queer.” 

May all of us come home with our heads held up high.
May we spread the word of diversity.
May every person, every kind of quality, every kind of love be respected. 

Thanks everyone in Hualian and Yilan for putting your efforts in.
Let’s keep pushing forward into the future.

[出走地平線：年齡歧視]
Flattening the Curve: Ageism

很多時，我在片場是最年老的一個。

但在電影《從不一漾》中，柄本明（Akira Emoto）才是年紀最大，他比我還大三歲。

他在片中有一幕戲，要從水底拯救遇溺的年輕女演員。

我們在一個奧運會標準泳池內拍攝這場戲。時夕冬天，池水又沒有加熱，看上去像沒人在意這位演員的死活。

當然，現場有潛水員待命，也有救生圏備用。即使我三歲已懂游水，也不其然很緊張。

我完全感受到柄本明的焦慮，他的心情都寫在面上。

他要游到三米以下，在女孩身邊游一圏，再把她帶上水面。完成整個過程將會是創舉。

但柄本明是專業演員。我相信在他漫長的演藝生涯，面對無數挑戰，都會抱持相同的堅忍態度：他熟讀劇本，把自己融於故事當中，在答應參演角色的那一刻，便願意接受角色帶來的任何挑戰。

他躍進水裏，我們開機拍攝。他又再跳一次，在水底逗留更長的時間，我們不斷地捕捉這一幕。但我實在很擔心，不斷拍攝那麼多次，柄本明的體力能否真的支持得住。

慶幸六次左右，我們順利拍完這一幕。當柄本明離開泳池，他立時衝往浴室淋熱水。我大聲鼓掌，又向他大叫「ganbatte （加油）﹗」，此時我才發現，只有我在拍掌：全場都沒有人稱讚Akira的勇敢表現。想起來，我的反應實在太不像日本人。整支攝製隊已忙碌地設下一幕景。

演員之路，從來都是孤獨的道路。

Usually I am the oldest person on set.

In this film “They Say Nothing Stays The Same”, Akira Emoto is. He is three years older than me.

He has an extend underwater sequence where he saves the young leading actress from drowning.

We set up the scene in an Olympic swimming pool. It was winter and the pool wasn’t heated and it seemed no one had checked with the actor if he could actually survive or not.

Of course there were safety divers and life-rings and such. Even though I have been swimming since I was three, I was nervous.

I could totally feel his anxiety. You could read it on his face.

He had to go down three meters and swim around the girl and then bring her up to the surface. It was no mean feat.

But Akira-san is a professional. I am sure in his long career, he has faced similar challenges with the same stoic attitude: he had read the script and his was in the script, so by agreeing to the role, he had also agreed to meet this challenge.

He jumped. We shot. He jumped again. He stayed under longer this time. We were getting the scene. Though I was worried if we took too many takes he would be too exhausted to go on.

Luckily after six takes or so we were done. He got out of the water and rushed off to a hot bath. I clapped and shouted a “Ganbatte” but then I realized I was the only one clapping: no one else was celebrating Akira-san’s brave effort. Very un-Japanese, I thought. The crew were all too busy setting up the next scene.

An actor’s journey is such a lonely road.
