21世紀的第一個十年結束之際,莉莉.詹姆斯(Lily James)面臨了人生劇變。
.
莉莉出身演藝世家,她的父母都是演員,但其家族最知名的演員是她的外婆海倫.霍頓(Helen Horton),出演過數十部影集,但真正使之留名影壇的,是唯《異形 Alien》(1979)裡的電腦系統「母親」配音。莉莉在家人栽培之下,考上倫敦市政廳音樂及戲劇學院,不過就在她畢業前夕,噩耗接連傳來。
.
2008年,莉莉的父親詹姆斯.湯森(James Thomson)癌症辭世,罹患漸凍症的舅舅隨後過世。隔年,她的外婆也與世長辭。莉莉說在那五年內,自己的家人走了大半,但自己卻仍然沒有任何成績,尤其遺憾沒有向外婆討教。但就在從學校畢業後不久,她獲得了《唐頓莊園 Downton Abbey》的演出邀約,這次機會使之成名,被視為英國影壇的年輕新秀。
.
在迪士尼經典動畫改編的《仙履奇緣 Cinderella》(2015)之中,莉莉飾演「灰姑娘」仙杜瑞拉,使之在美國走紅。五年之內,她接連挑戰《玩命再劫 Baby Driver》(2017)、《最黑暗的時刻 Darkest Hour》(2017)、《靠譜歌王 Yesterday》(2019)等不同類型的作品。
.
在《媽媽咪呀!回來了 Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again》(2018)中,她被選中飾演年輕的梅莉.史翠普(Meryl Streep),兩人剛好也是遠房親戚。2020年的《蝴蝶夢 Rebecca》,她更受邀飾演溫特夫人一角,該片原版的詮釋者可是傳奇奧斯卡影后瓊.芳登(Joan Fontaine)。莉莉作為梅姨、瓊.芳登接班人的聲勢由此不脛而走。
.
被問起成功竄出的訣竅,莉莉說要成為一個演員,同時又保持在理智的狀態,得用很薄的臉皮面對表演,但要有很厚的臉皮來面對一切批評。關於薄臉皮的學問,她補充說道:「因為你必須試著讓一切來影響你、衝破你的神經,這樣你才能端出好的演出。」
.
在畢業之後,她開始頻頻參與試鏡,卻屢屢被拒。她的經紀人卻沒有要她精進演出,而是列了長串書單與電影清單給她,尤其是關於女性的作品。莉莉後來用「燃料」來形容這些書和電影,這成為了她理解角色、故事的養分,成功內化在自己的表演與氣質之中,其中一本書,恰好就是南西.米佛(Nancy Mitford)在1945年著有的傑作《逐愛 The Pursuit of Love》。
.
因此後來艾蜜莉.莫提梅(Emily Mortimer)為了首次編導的影集《逐愛》而找上她之後,莉莉覺得一切有如命中注定。而且她所飾演的角色,正是劇中最惹爭議、也惹人憐愛的女主角琳達.瑞萊特。
.
可以說,《逐愛》就是1930-40年代的《慾望城市 Sex in the City》,是當時英國年輕人最愛的流行讀物,從中窺探上流上會的光怪陸離荒唐事。作者南西.米佛在當時也是社交名媛,在傳奇的「米佛六姐妹」之中排行最大。出身貴族的米佛六姐妹在高級莊園長大,她們被一個仇視外國人的古怪父親與願意親手打理家務的貴婦母親教養下成人。
.
同時面臨壓抑,卻又在母親的鼓舞之下,六姐妹個個發展出奇特的性格,以及不同的政治信仰。有人獻身法西斯,打入希特勒(Adolf Hitler)社交圈;有人信奉共產黨,親赴西班牙內戰高唱國際歌;有人對政治冷感,持續在上流社會呼風喚雨,與甘迺迪家族(Kennedy family)結為親家。南西自己則是成為一個社會主義者,在巴黎埋頭寫小說,最後她結合了自己與姐妹的情感,將人物融合、濃縮,完成了《逐愛》。
.
劇中,莉莉飾演的琳達.瑞萊特原先是一個足不出戶的貴族少女,為了離家而倉促出嫁,卻發現自己對上流社會百般不適應,原來真正所愛的是共產黨,親身來到西班牙成為共黨後援,為理想獻身,怎料又愛上四處捻花惹草的法國花花公子。艾蜜莉.比查姆(Emily Beecham)飾演的芬尼相當於故事的主述者,帶著觀眾看見了琳達多舛卻充滿高潮與狂喜的一生。
.
在短短三集篇幅,莉莉將時代之下女性的隨波逐流、為男人而活的悲歡,那種生命的空洞,以及對受到認同的深切渴望,詮釋得恰如其分。很難用喜劇與悲劇來定義《逐愛》,這就是一部舊時代女性的集體縮影,而莉莉成功承擔起了角色的厚度,表演精湛萬分。
.
為了詮釋好琳達的角色,莉莉說自己參考的作品是蘇菲亞.柯波拉(Sofia Coppola)執導的《凡爾賽拜金女 Marie Antoinette》(2006),她說那種扎根於歷史、卻又與現代精神相呼應的活力,是她希望傳遞的感覺。不過在現實生活中,莉莉可不是那種無腦的拜金女孩。
.
莉莉回顧了當時還在起步階段的自己,在第一份表演工作結束之後,她立刻花了700英鎊買了一個蔻依(Chloé)包包犒賞自己。
.
結果一個朋友見狀,跟她說,這個價錢你可以去買一張印度的機票。莉莉說她聽完當下立刻轉念,送去退貨。看來比起名牌包,她更希望能讓自己走得更遠一些。
.
各位最喜歡哪一部莉莉.詹姆斯演出的作品呢?

kennedy family 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的最佳解答
After I posted on my leave plans on Sunday, a few of you asked what was on my reading list, so I am sharing some books I have read / am reading / or hope to read. Three of the books are available from the National Library Singapore. Do check out the NLB app (iOS: https://go.gov.sg/moiqhc | Android: https://go.gov.sg/hu17bc). It is a marvellous resource, and you will definitely be able to discover many books to suit your interests.
[ Nuclear Folly, a History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Serhii Plokhy ]
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. I had read "13 Days", the short memoir by Robert Kennedy about it as a teenager, and later Graham Allison's "Essence of Decision", a seminal study using the Crisis to analyse decision making from different perspectives. Both were mainly based on US records. Plokhy's book draws on Soviet archives, to present events from both the US and Soviet points of view. Many mistakes were made on both sides. The saving grace was that both President John Kennedy and General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev desperately wanted to avoid a nuclear war. But even then the two sides avoided a nuclear exchange only by a hair’s breadth, and only by chance, because events once set in motion were no longer entirely within the two leaders' control. A gripping read.
[ The Bilingual Brain, and what it tells us about the science of language
by Albert Costa ]
Having learnt several languages myself, and grappled with our bilingualism policy in schools, this book was a natural choice. I am still reading it. Did you know that a newborn infant already recognises and prefers the language (or languages) which their mother spoke while they were in her womb, and within hours of birth can also distinguish between two different languages that they have never heard before? Infants pick up a language (or two) naturally in their first years, but learning a second or third language later in life is much harder. This book explains why.
[ Capturing Light, the Heart of Photography
by Michael Freeman ]
A book about the different sorts of light, how they influence the photo you take, and how to use them to create the effect and mood that you want. Photographers know about the golden hour and blue hour, hard light and soft light, direct and indirect lighting, front and back lighting, haze, mist and fog, and so many more variations. The book includes lots of the author’s photos illustrating his points, taken over many years. Hope to pick up something from reading it. But the key in photography (as in so many other skills) is to practise and practise, if you want to improve.
[ Bettering Humanomics, A New, and Old, Approach to Economic Science
by Deidre Nansen McCloskey ]
The author, a distinguished economist, argues that economics is not just about incentives and institutions, mathematical models and observed behaviour. It should take a broader, more humanistic approach, paying attention to ethics and values, “what people believe, and the stories they tell one another”, as one reviewer put it. Certainly in government we must think about these broader factors all the time, while making sure we get the economics right. Not just in trade and industry or finance, but also in national development, education, health, manpower, sustainability and the environment, social and family development, and so much of public policy. I haven't read this book yet, but saw an enthusiastic book review, and look forward to reading the book itself.
Happy reading! – LHL

Have a Claypot rice before it is too warm to have one... it is already very warm 😅
Claypot rice is rice cooked in a claypot with different ingredients, typical ones include chinese sausage #臘腸, toads thigh 田雞, dried duck #臘鴨 and chicken 滑雞. My favourite combination is chicken plus Chinese sausage 滑雞臘腸. Sheung Hei 嚐囍煲仔小菜 is recognized by the Michelin Guide for a Bib Gourmand distinction this year. That’s why there was a long queue outside the restaurant. We waited for 25 minutes to get into the restaurant on a Saturday.
Two of us ordered a few dim sums and 2 pots of claypot rice (臘鴨滑雞 Dried duck + chicken HKD$80; 臘腸油鴨 Dried sausages + dried duck HKD$88) which was too much 😅 The family sitting next to us has ordered the sweet and sour pork, which looks really good. If I’m going to the restaurant again, I will probably order this plus one claypot rice only.
The essence of the claypot rice is a good soy sauce and the crispy crust (swipe to see the last video). The claypot rice in Sheung Hei has both but the rice is a bit too dry to “absorb” the soy sauce. I like their dim sums over the claypot rice, especially Siu Lung Bao (also known as Shanghai Xiaolongbao) - thin skin plus very juicy.
I am still searching for a nice place for claypot rice, any recommendation? 🙋🏻♀️
Where is it?
