知名建築學者漢寶德從事建築研究多年，曾多次走訪歐洲各地大小不一、風格迥異的古城。他以生動而充滿感性的文字，如數家珍訴說歐洲各城市及建築背後鮮為人知的傳奇身世，時序跨越中世紀哥德式、文藝復興、巴洛克、洛克克、維多利亞式和現代主義等不同時期；行跡遍及依山帶水的海德堡和薩爾茲堡、孤傲卻隱隱透露哀傷美感的蘇格蘭、院落層疊的古大學城牛津和劍橋、充滿靈秀之氣的水城威尼斯和阿姆斯特丹、富於女性之美的羅亞爾河谷城堡群、流傳浪漫情史的溫莎古堡、世俗華麗的布魯塞爾行會建築、龐然氣闊的羅馬聖彼得大教堂、海天一色猶如仙境的愛琴海民居、風格獨具的聖彼得堡洋蔥式圓頂……。我們彷彿親臨一場盛大無比的歐洲古建築巡禮，聆聽歷代建築大師背後嘔心瀝血、曲折動人的傳奇故事。建築在此，不再只是建物而已，它們同時也是各方歷史文化交融所形成的特有產物，具體反映著不同時代的人文思考和藝術造詣，並且成就一座座宏偉壯麗的城市風景。

Saw The Terminal early this morning, very simple storylines yet wonderful philosophy from ordinary people Steven Spielberg is so good at humanity issues from the very beginning.
The movie shows meaning and beauty in life about waiting and promise. Amelia(the actress) is waiting for her dream to come true for eighteen years, for herself; Navorski’s dad was waiting for something he honored so much for his life; and here comes Navorski(the actor), who waits for making his father’s left dream come true, for fulfilling his promise, for the woman he fell in love, in a between the US and his own country.
Tag: film“The Terminal” tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must improvise his days and nights in the terminal’s international transit lounge until the war at home is over.
As the weeks and months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of the terminal to be a richly complex world of absurdity, generosity, ambition, amusement, status, serendipity and even romance with a beautiful flight attendant named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has long worn out his welcome with airport official Frank Dixon, who considers him a bureaucratic glitch, a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.
