1:36:18 很美的青春，很美的惡作劇，很美的三角關係，「收到抽屜的最深處」，很美的彼此成全。
2:00:21 我可以好好跳一下嗎?
53:09 我愛你。 這種時候要說再見。
真有趣，好多戲中戲 在愛麗絲的母親前 在愛麗絲的朋友的情人前 在愛麗絲的試鏡前 而這一切都是 蒼井優的戲中戲中戲
4:56 電車上的人在看什麼？
1:22:13 實在愛極了千禧年的青春校園氛圍，數位相機、類比電腦、掀蓋式手機……即便2020年代復古風潮席捲，但仍舊無法抵抗舊電影的「真實」，不需要倚靠道具與濾鏡的真實。
＃臺大電影節 青春的面貌到底有多少呢？《花與愛麗絲》透過了友情、愛情和親情三個面向告訴了我們答案。少女情竇初開之時，選擇用謊話接近自己傾慕的對象，然而命運作弄，怎料這一連串的錯誤，卻意外地將彼此間的關係推向另外一種結局……或許所有的青春都具有一種共性，那便是跌跌撞撞地在路途上成長。儘管內心畏懼、擔憂，也只得抱著滿腹的不安繼續前行。沒有舞鞋也罷，紙杯在足底亦可顛起腳尖，往前方的路躍出他們的下一步。
4:54 因為少女擁有特權，所以可愛。 上一秒才剛說完跟蹤狂真可怕、下一秒便拿起相機偷拍，想到詩人鄭聖勳在《少女詩篇》裡面的〈檸檬〉（節錄）：「容忍我到下個月／我就會變回一個可愛的妄想者／只會想對你的背影做盡下流的事情／只會想對你呼吸過的空氣做盡下流的事情」
＃臺大電影節 有的電影嘗試告訴你一些道理，有些卻要你感受觀影過程內裏的心情起伏。《花與愛麗絲》屬於後者，導演岩井俊二希望觀眾去貼身感受「青春」的重量。在15、16歲時，每個人或許因為喜歡的對象，撒了幾個無傷大雅的謊，但誰也說不準當中又包含了多少真情實意。 對於劇中「模糊的記憶」這個主題，究竟該相信被許多主觀意識揉合的片段，還是別人口裡難以確認的事實。本片根據此脈絡出發，三位主角們就像是協力完成一個記憶拼圖，每個人都有每個人的時光碎片，嘗試拼湊出一場獨一無二的仲夏青春紀事。
"To me, only Lily Chou-Chou is real." Japanese auteur Shunji Iwai carved out some of the most unforgettable depictions of the pain and poetry of youth. His films delve not only into school days and adolescence, but also bullying, loss, and the end-of-century malaise. He portrays girls in corrupted cities, women with voices that heal, and parables of a world teetering on the edge. He launched the careers of singers Salyu and Chara, and captured Aoi Yuu in her most ethereal dance. With his singular visual style and impeccable taste in music, Iwai's works have captivated audiences across Asia for over two decades. Now streaming exclusively on Giloo: "All About Lily Chou-Chou", "Swallowtail Butterfly", and "Hana and Alice". Revisit the unforgettable world of Shunji Iwai.
Film and music allow me to hold onto that fearless, naive self from back then—the one who didn't understand what was worth fearing or losing, where love and anger flowed so freely. In a parallel dimension, my younger self still lives blissfully within those moments, heedlessly and dismissively existing in my own world. Carrying confusion, regret, or melancholy, always restless and stirred, I never have to say goodbye to youth.
Loneliness and restlessness, the beauty and cruelty of love, the confusion and longing around gender—so much of adolescence grows in secret, tucked away in quiet corners of school life. But when secrets come to light, does that mark the end of youth? And is growing up inevitably a slow unraveling of the self? Giloo presents five poignant coming-of-age films that capture the ache and wonder of adolescence: Edward Yang’s A Brighter Summer Day, Yee Chih-yen’s Blue Gate Crossing, Chen Cheng-Tao’s Eternal Summer, and two Japanese classics by Shunji Iwai—All About Lily Chou-Chou and Hana and Alice. Step into these cinematic portraits of youth, and relive the beautiful, painful process of becoming.
“How did writing a novel become such a deadly thing?” — Terrorizers They say there's nothing new under the sun. But once we step into the world of fiction, all the fuss, the unnecessary drama, the meaningless conflict—suddenly becomes the very engine that makes a story move. The meaning of “realism” is turned on its head. Imagination begins to feel more reasonable than reality. Only then can we fully immerse ourselves in each film’s unique narrative world— in the internal logic of its imagery, in the madness that somehow feels perfectly ordered. Because in fiction, as in dreams: Whatever happens, makes sense.
【Creative Comic Collection x Giloo "Autumn of Frames — New Sensibility Manga Stroll" Series】At some point, life suddenly becomes abnormal; sometimes it's forced by external circumstances, other times it's an internal unease. These people, who have long since descended into madness, still insist they possess an unblemished sincerity, willing to give everything for a moment yet to come. Watching them desperately try to catch lightning in a torrential downpour, I find it incredibly beautiful. 📖 Hana and Alice pays homage to the short comic "Invisible Dance": https://www.creative-comic.tw/zh/book/378/content
As you step into the entrance of this “mental time capsule,” I believe each of us carries a main focus in mind. So I’d like to share my list of recommendations—as a bonus feature, in case you’re not quite ready to log out of the time capsule just yet.
