NBA又停賽了
因為美國又有黑人被開槍了
身為亞洲人
我想前陣子不是有黑人被開槍嗎？
我去了解一下整件事情以及那段影片。

我不明白，在這種敏感時期

為什麼警察還是看似無所謂的，這樣子連開開7槍。

7槍欸！不是1槍，是7槍。

那意思也就是 你活著算你幸運的意思

其實一直以來我都認為種族歧視是無解的
是我們這個世代無法改變的
但還是要宣誓嗎？還是要！
但真的改變的了人心 或是 心中的陰影嗎？
就像是性別平權
就算同志結婚，還是有很多人在歧視同志，或是不同方式的霸凌 。

在台灣，警察會開槍，是要非常嚴重的情況下才能開，舉例：嫌犯開車逃跑，在逃跑中各種逆向行駛，已經再三廣播停下，還是不停，才會開槍。
或是
嫌犯已經嚴重讓警察感受到生命危險時，才會開槍。

而且警察每一顆子彈都要寫報告書的
所以真的很少開槍
只要有開槍會上新聞。

我認為能夠改變的只有法律，改變警察執法上的標準。

真心希望美國可以更好
不是一言不合就開槍

NBA suspended again
Because another black man was shot in America
As an Asian
I think a black man was shot a while ago?
Let me learn about the whole thing and the video.

I don’t understand, in this sensitive period

Why did the police still seem indifferent, firing seven consecutive shots like this.

7 guns! Not 1 shot, but 7 shots.

That means you are lucky if you live

In fact, I have always believed that racial discrimination is unsolvable
That our generation cannot change
But do you still have to take the oath? Still have to!
But has it really changed people’s hearts or the shadows in their hearts?
Like gender equality
Even if gays get married, many people still discriminate against gays or bully in different ways.

In Taiwan, the police will shoot. They can only be fired under very serious circumstances. For example: the suspect ran away by car. During the escape, he drove in various reverse directions. He had already repeatedly broadcast to stop, or kept firing.
Or
The suspect will only fire when the police feel his life is in danger.

And the police have to write a report for every bullet
So I rarely shoot
As long as there is a shooting meeting on the news.

I think the only thing that can be changed is the law, changing the standards of police enforcement.

I really hope that America can be better
It's not about shooting at a disagreement

[出走地平線：Quasimodo]
Flattening The Curve: Quasimodo

我只拍過一齣劇情片《海灘的一天》。

他們便頒發金馬獎最佳攝影給我。

怎可能呢？

我一竅不通。他們怎會不知道？

但怎樣學習得比較好？

我曾經試過報讀法國電影學校，但對方沒有取錄我。

多得法國朋友的穿針引線，我被請去幫一個女學生導演的處女作《黑與白》掌鏡。

我不懂法語，但女導演Claire Devers似乎不在意。

她在片場經常全速用法語指揮大局，我大部份時間都不明白她說甚麼，而且她常把 “Quasimodo，Quasimodo”掛在咀邊。

我以為自己一直在拍一齣同志黑白片，不是重拍《鐘樓駝俠》。那Quasimodo是怎麼一回事？電影裡沒有駝子，在劇本也找不到Quasimodo這個字。（Quasimodo，加西莫多原是 《鐘樓駝俠》主角的名字）

我當時的法國女友Gabrielle也一頭霧水，所以有天她來片場看個究竟。

Gabrielle觀察導演不出十分鐘，竟然捧腹大笑，把我拉到一旁。「Quasimodo不是一個角色」她解釋「這齣戲也不是《歌聲魅影》實驗版，更不是《鐘樓駝俠》。」

「那甚麼是Quasimodo?」我問。

Gabrielle向我派定心丸。「你的導演接受過古典教育，時不時想賣弄一下。『Quasimodo』 是拉丁文，導演跟她的同學從小學便學會了。她說『Quasimodo』，其實就像我們想說，你知的……差不多啦。這個字就像我們想帶出……自己沒法子用詞語表達實際想說甚麼的意思。」

I had shot only one feature film “That day on the Beach”.

They gave it Golden Horse Best Cinematography award.

How could that be?

I knew nothing. How come they didn’t notice?

But how best to get to know something?

I tried to get into French film school. They wouldn’t have me.

But French friends pulled a few strings and I was asked to photograph a woman student director’s first film "Noir et Blanc".

I didn’t speak French, but director Claire Devers didn’t seem to notice.

She kept talking full speed ahead giving directions I mostly couldn't follow, and “ Quasimodo , Quasimodo” was her signature phrase.

I thought we were making a black and white gay film, not a remake of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. So what’s all this Quasimodo stuff ? There are no hunchbacks in the cast and I can’t find “ Quasimodo ” in the script . (Quasimodo was the main protagonist of the The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. ）

French girlfriend Gabrielle couldn’t work it out either. So she came by to sort it out.

After ten minutes on set listening and watching my director, she burst out laughing, then took me aside. Quasimodo is not a character ” she explained “ this is not an experimental version of Phantom of the Opera and the set is definitely no Notre-Dame. ”

“ So what’s Quasimodo ? ” I asked.

Gabrielle re-assures me: “ Your director has had a Classic education, and she likes to show it off. ‘ Quasimodo ’ is Latin, which her class of students studied since primary school. She says “Quasimodo” when most of us would say something like, you know … actually means MORE OR LES. It’s when we say something like…. like when we can’t quite find the words to express what we really want to say. “

#蘋果點心 #聖誕party食物 #蘋果批 #聖誕點心

蘋果派是我請朋友來我家時常做的菜式，所以特意選了這個來做和大家Q&A的影片。剛巧蘋果派的餡料由蘋果加入不同的香料如肉桂、丁香、八角和糖煮成，濃濃的香料味就像提示我們聖誕節快到了。
．
這個短片第一次用一邊做菜，一邊回答問題的形式表達，我在準備的時候就像一邊和大家閒談一樣，雖然我們之間很多也未有見過面，在這個影片的製作過程中又好像跟大家的距離拉近了。大部份的問題其實在message已回了，如果沒有放在影片裏請見諒喔，這是因為片長有限而我是隨意將問題放上去的，如遺漏了的請不要介意再給我訊息喔。
．
多謝大家對我的提問，你們所有的問題很有意思呢。如有機會真的很想有機會一起和大家做料理互相交流，想想已感到會是難得的經驗了。
．
製作蘋果派時有以下幾點可以留意喔。
．
* 牛油派皮在製作上，在角落的位置厚度比較難以弄得平均，如利用不同的模具壓平底部和週邊，可令派皮的厚度保持平均。
* 牛油派皮在多次擀皮後可能會軟化而容易付在保鮮膜上，如將麵團再放入冰箱/雪櫃一會，讓麵團變得硬一點又可再次塑型。
* 蘋果派餡用到大量的香料，如果家中沒有其中一款可以直接省去。之前我做的時後只用肉桂粉，今次加上肉桂枝和蘋果同煮，味道更香濃了。
* 在煮好蘋果派餡後可夾起同煮的香料，那便不會影響食感。
．
希望大家喜歡這個食譜吧。

份量：直徑22cm烤盤

材料
．
蘋果批皮材料
．
中筋麵粉420克
砂糖130克
鹽一茶匙

加入中筋麵粉以中速拌勻。
雞蛋略為打發後，分三次加入麵團內拌勻。
麵團形成後，分成兩半（批底及批面）用保鮮膜蓋著並塑形至長方型狀，以方便之後成批皮，以保鮮膜包好放在冰箱/雪櫃裏至少30分鐘至過夜。
．
麵團冷卻好後，從冰箱取出待略為軟化後，大約30分鐘，取出其中一塊麵團隔著保鮮膜用麵棍將麵團推開成大約0.5厘米厚批皮。
將批皮蓋在模具上，蓋著保鮮膜，用杯子或模具蓋平批底和週邊位置。放入冰箱，備用。
．
另一份麵團隔著保鮮膜用麵棍將麵團推開成大約0.5厘米厚批皮，?成一厘米闊的長條型，將麵團條做出辮子，做出網型並裁成模具合適大小，放在牛油紙上，放入冰箱，備用。
．
蘋果餡料
．
蘋果去皮，切成薄片。
在一個鍋子裏加入牛油10克，開中火，放入蘋果、砂糖、香草/雲尼拿精華、肉桂粉、檸檬汁、肉桂枝、丁香和八角，不時攪拌以防止結塊。
粟粉兩湯匙加入水70毫升拌勻，加入蘋果內，煮至沸騰。
關火後盛起，蘋果餡料可早一日準備放在冰箱內，令蘋果更有香料味。
．
組合
．
焗爐預熱至180攝氏度。
雞蛋略為打發，和牛奶/水拌勻。
批皮和批面從冰箱內取出，分別均勻擀開。批面擀開後切成一厘米闊長條，編成格紋。批皮放入模具，蘋果餡倒入批皮內，上面蓋上批面。
在批面掃上蛋液。
註：如麵團擀開後變軟，可放在雪櫃/冰箱中待略為凝固後才繼續製作。
放入焗爐以180度焗一小時，直至表面金黃。在週邊蓋上錫紙以防止燒焦。
蘋果批從焗爐取出後放涼，切件後享用。
