想分享海報： 紅色的背景上大大的一個囍字，囍字裡則是一對一對夫妻。第一次看到的時候覺得很吸睛呢！
想推薦一部也是在講婚姻關係的美國迷你影集 - 《婚姻場景》(Scenes from a Marriage)。《婚姻場景》由潔西卡雀絲坦和奧斯卡伊薩克主演，透過一對當代美國夫妻，探索關係中的愛、恨、忠誠、慾望、自主及分離。
Scenes from a Marriage (2021) | Official Trailer | HBO1:21:56 很喜歡以結婚誓詞作為結尾的安排。影片開始不久處以黑白畫面呈現求婚及婚禮場景，搭配的聲音卻是夫妻之間的抱怨、爭執和歧見，讓人感受到滿滿的衝突感。這樣的衝突感延續於在整部影片中一對一對夫妻的對談裡。在結尾處以黑畫面搭配結婚誓詞，像是一記溫柔卻深刻的提醒，要記得婚姻的開始是「執子之手，與子偕老」的期待、「無論境遇好壞、無論富貴貧窮、或健康或疾病，相悅相愛，終身不渝」的承諾。
導演透過八對夫妻的對話，以客觀卻深刻的方式，拼湊出婚姻的樣貌。雖然尚未體驗過婚姻，但在觀看一段一段的夫妻對話的過程中，竟也能處處是共鳴！只能說關係的經營是不論性別、年紀、在關係中的角色，每一個人的課題。
9:11 「愛情來了是幸福的開始，婚姻來了是幸福的延伸」聽到女方說這句時，心裡才正想說很有道理耶！結果男方就接著說「這很普通啊！然後呢？」看到這段直接笑出來，太有既視感了！往往一方認為至關重要的很可能對另一方來說無關緊要，而這通常也是歧異的起點啊！
Why did someone like Gorbachev—who tried so hard to reform his country—ultimately meet a dramatic and tragic end? Why did a Chinese teenager, once full of unquestioning patriotism, become a disillusioned critic of society? And how does a taxidermist, working with lifeless animals, come to glimpse the mysterious kingdom of death? The team at Chichi’s Notes has handpicked 13 standout documentaries from Giloo—recommended for those who care about current affairs and remain endlessly curious about the world. Whether you're drawn to politics, identity, science, or the unseen corners of society, this collection offers something for every thoughtful viewer.
For many, half of their family stories unfold at the dining table. Take Eat Drink Man Woman, where family storms brew and erupt between courses, or The Wedding Banquet, whose banquet scene captures what it means to live under “five thousand years of sexual repression.” The other half of those stories often lies beneath the table—hidden in secrets and silence. Like the cryptic relatives in The Walchensee Forever, or the adults in Yi Yi, each burdened with their own quiet thoughts. This Lunar New Year, after the family feast, gather once more—for a film. Let your family story play out on screen.
Love can bear the sweetest fruits, or plunge life into the deepest abyss. How do you face the questions that love brings? Will you choose to move forward hand in hand with your partner— or walk away, once and for all?
Dialogue takes practice—whether with others or with yourself. How do we find common ground when our values differ? And how do we learn to live with the parts of ourselves that feel unfamiliar? Through conversation, we not only get to know and draw closer to others, but also begin to see our own place in relationships—and in the world—with greater clarity. It is in these moments that we become more willing to walk alongside others, with openness and care.
A lifelong companion—or a declared enemy? Love is the most difficult relationship, yet it yields the sweetest fruit. In the face of love, do you reveal your truest self—or something more false? What do you choose to share with your lover? Are you walking hand in hand toward paradise—or toward the beginning of sorrow?
What is Taiwan? What does Taiwan have? Our imagination of Taiwan’s future depends on how we choose to read Taiwan. The Taiwanese documentaries selected by Giloo aim to offer a multifaceted and in-depth perspective—allowing us to empathize with the struggles and efforts of the Taiwanese people, uncover the richness of this land, confront its challenges, and analyze the issues that shape life on this island.
The Women’s Literature Research Center at Tamkang University, which is dedicated to reflecting on and exploring issues related to gender, women, and sexuality, presents a special program themed “Women and Everyday Life.” This program spotlights three Taiwanese documentaries—The Lucky Woman?, LOVE Talk, and Small Talk—to explore the struggles of single women navigating between societal norms and personal expectations, the evolving definitions of gender roles within marriage and family, and how a woman who identifies as both a lesbian and a mother reclaims her identity and reaches reconciliation.
