感應
有沒有試過無故忐忑不安、神不守舍呢？重要的人，是會知道的！
有幸曾在戲院看了一套經典電影，名為 'la Double Vie de veronique' (The Double Life Of Veronika) ，中文片名在香港譯作【兩生花】。那經過特別漂染的菲林色調，呈現出啡黃的影像，只有在戲院看原裝菲林版，才真正體驗導演的心思。這是波蘭電影大師基斯洛夫斯基(Krzysztof Kieslowski)晚年的作品，他被譽為是當代最偉大的電影大師之一，其代表作為【藍】、【白】、【紅】三部曲(Three Colors Trilogy: Blue, White, Red)。他曾說：「紀錄片先天有一種難以逾越的限制。在現實的生活中，人們不會讓你拍到他們的眼淚，他們想哭的時候會把門關上。」
故事中兩個一模一樣的女子由艾琳雅各布(Irene Jacob)一人分飾，名字分別都叫維諾尼卡(Veronique and Weronika)。似曾相識的感覺、莫名的哀傷、微妙的生死宿命．．．
維諾尼卡問：「為什麼有兩個？」
木偶藝人說：「因為木偶脆弱，壞了一個，還有另一個。」
除了唯美的影像外，還有至今還是最愛第一位的電影原聲大碟，堅強與孤寂的感應。

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me
Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……
“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.
“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!
“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
WORDS from Astor :
I hope all of you would like the presentation of my albums.
Everlasting love dedicated to SUPERSTAR...
