1:200 container ship Sydney Star, 1:350 French battleship Richelieu, and the quad-propeller helicopter:
34 degree Celsius, a hot summer day,
beside the Chaiwan pool,
with clean and calm water,
take a vacation and relax,
boating, and bird's-eye view of the pool,
in which you can find pleasure.
Oh, it is not a poem, just writing few words to describe three idiotic lazy old guys beside the pool enjoying the sweaty 34 degree Celsius sauna bath free of charge.
Hello Pang, the music "Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune" written by the French composer Claude Debussy (1862-1918) matches your movie very well as it describes a hot and leisure afternoon of the God of shepherd, and finally Debussy encountered the battleship Richelieu of his beloved country in the pool of Chaiwan Hong Kong after waiting for 94 years through the time tunnel prepared for him by you. How wonderful it is ! Somewhere in time.
As a life time fine music lover, I'd never give up my learning towards the appreciation of impressionism music yet without any success. May be it is due to my lack of wild imagination. In fact, any works after Mahler and Rachmaninoff are beyond me.
I'd just seriously listen to Debussy's prelude again yet still get not much feeling from the music, other than the slow and lazyness of the rythems... ha ha... may be it is the lazyness that you've mentioned that matches the mood of our boating day?
You're exactly right. The slow, laziness and charmingness of the rhythm matched very well with the atmosphere of that afternoon, hot, calm, leisure, lazy, and windless. And a little bit strange feeling arose in my mind when Debussy encountered the French battleship Richelieu in a small pool in Hong Kong, not in France, though they were not existed in the same era.
agree.... and it is you that based on a wide scope of knowledge that can be inspired to link up all the people and scenerios together to give such a romantic scene... I seriouly doubt if your degree is in science and not arts?
