好萊塢傳奇女星暨偉大發明家海蒂‧拉瑪首部傳記繪本
最引人入勝的人物故事、最深入淺出的科學知識、最發人深省的議題觸動

她是被美貌所耽誤的科學家
也是奠定手機、Wifi與藍芽傳輸基礎的祕密通訊女神
一起來認識她的貢獻、理解她的無奈、師法她的創意

當人們讚嘆她的美貌時,她卻寧可躲在研究室裡埋頭實驗。
當人們欽羨她的演藝事業時,她卻自豪自己許許多多的新發明。
這位「世上最美的女人」,認為人們腦中的的奇思妙想,遠比外表更有趣。

她最重要的發明──「跳頻展頻」技術,
透過不間斷的隨機改變訊號頻率,
讓每個人的行動電話通訊與無線網路傳輸都能維持私密性。

她是海蒂‧拉瑪,曾經風靡好萊塢的電影明星,
也是腦筋永遠轉不停、棒點子一大堆的發明家。

此繪本精選海蒂的兒時片段與生命歷程,並描述她發明的通訊技術,讓讀者能學習到科普基礎知識;甚至扣連成長中的生涯選擇,呈現在不友善的大環境中,如何戰勝偏見的經歷。不論是誰,任何人都不應被既有的性別刻板印象框住想像而畫地自限,並在探索未知的歷程中,發現自己未來的更多可能。

誰是「海蒂‧拉瑪」?
‧美國電影明星,被稱為「世上最美的女人」
‧設計過交通號誌、碳酸飲料發泡錠,也航空大亨設計過更為流線形的飛機
‧「跳頻展頻技術」的共同發明人,為GPS、Wifi、藍牙等無線通訊系統奠定基礎
‧有「藍芽之母」、「wifi之母」的稱謂

「電影往往限於某一地區和時代,而技術是永恆的。」——電影明星、藍牙之母 海蒂‧拉瑪
從小,海蒂很喜歡表演,想做一個演員。但即使後來海蒂出演了大量電影,擁有大量的作品,但人們總是只聚焦在她的美貌,對她的演技關注並不多。海蒂甚至曾灰心的發過牢騷:「任何女孩只要很蠢的站在那兒,就是很棒很迷人的女孩。」(Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.)

不過,海蒂擁有的,不僅是豐厚輝煌的演藝事業。她非常聰明,腦袋時常裝著許多發明的好點子。有一次,海蒂與一位音樂家喬治.安塞爾(George Antheil)聊到無線電通信技術,兩人一拍即合,開啟了一同發明的合作。最終,他們發明了「跳頻展頻」的技術,這項技術可以幫助當時的魚雷不容易被敵軍發現,傳輸通訊時也不容易被攔截偷聽。

當時正在打二次世界大戰,他們把專利捐給美國政府,讓美國軍方可以將技術運用在武器上。但美國軍方卻把專利封存起來,成為一個祕密。

戰後,美國政府把這項專利釋放給一般公司用。著名工程師戴夫.莫克(Dave Mock)在一書《高通方程式》中寫道:「只要你使用過行動電話,你就有必要了解並感謝她。要知道,這位性感女明星為全球無線通訊技術所做出的貢獻無人能及。」

1997年,83歲的海蒂被授予美國「電子疆界基金會」的先鋒獎,這是她第一次在表演事業之外獲得獎項。3年後,海蒂安然逝世。在她過世後,榮譽還不斷增加:2014年,海蒂入選美國發明家名人堂,成為歷史上唯一入選的女演員。2015年,海蒂的照片又再次登上雜誌的封面,但這一次不是登上電影雜誌或娛樂八卦雜誌,而是《美國發明與技術遺產》雜誌。

The Christmas movie no TV stations ever seem to show during the holidays
Since Amazon lumps the reviews for all the various releases of this movie together, I want to be clear that this review is for the single disc, 132 minute blu-ray version with the cover picture of smiling man made of bricks with the word "Brazil" flying out of the top of his head. For those who don't know the history of this movie - there are at least three different versions. It was originally released in Europe as a nearly two and half hour long film. The studio who financed it didn't like that version because it A. was too long, B. was too uncommercial and C. had a dark, depressing ending. The contract they had with Gilliam stipulated that the movie had to be less than 2 hours and 15 minutes, so it could have multiple prime-time showings in theaters. They suggested he cut the ending. Gilliam refused, so the studio took it upon themselves to create the "Love Conquers All" version, which chopped out almost an hour of footage - they only kept the parts that showed the main character Sam in a heroic light, anything that contributed to the Sam/Jill love story and anything that featured Robert DiNero. And, of course, the ending was changed to a happy ending by removing the final scene. Also, to make the plot easier to follow, they used some alternate takes, some deleted footage and hired voice actors to overdub dialog. Unsurprisingly, Gilliam didn't want that version released, so he finally edited the movie down to 2 hours and 12 minutes, kept the dark ending and made a few other minor changes and the studio was contractually obligated to release that version to theaters in the United States. It's this US version that appears on the blu-ray, with absolutely no additional features (not even the Gilliam commentary that's included on most other releases of the film). Annoyingly, they also added advertisements for other movies to the main menu screen. But I'm still happy to have this version, because it's the first time I've seen the "US edit" since originally seeing the film in a theater on the campus of Penn State back in my college days. I can't really write an unbiased review of the movie itself, because from that first viewing I became obsessed with both Brazil and Terry Gilliam's films in general. I bought all his movies on VHS as soon as they came out and eventually replaced them with DVDs. I bought the 3-DVD Criterion "Final Cut" version of Brazil back when it was an expensive new release. I was surprised that it included scenes I'd never seen before - I think it's based mostly on the European version, with some additional tweaks by Gilliam. It also included the "Love Conquers All" version of the movie and a ton of bonus features. Sadly though, it wasn't animorphic, so on my widescreen TV it put black letterboxing bars on all four sides, shrinking the picture down to about 60% of the screen. This blu-ray was exactly what I was looking for. While it's missing a few (non-essential) scenes, it's the version of the movie that I "grew up" with and is presented in full 16X9 animorphic widescreen. It's the best looking version I've seen since originally seeing it in the theater. For example, I never really noticed the makeup on Katherine Hellmond at the beginning of the movie to make her look older (pre-surgery), but it's clearly visible on the blu-ray. I've always felt bad for one actress during the explosion scene in the restaurant because it looks like she really does get hit by some of the flying debris - the blu-ray is maybe a little too clear there, because now I can tell it's just a dressed-up mannequin. As for the movie itself - it's one of those films you'll either love or hate. Its alternate-reality, retro-futuristic look makes it seem nearly as fresh and amazing today as it did when it first came out. And the background plot of a government bureaucracy turning a country into a surveillance state in response to a perceived terrorist threat - I know it was based on things happening in England at the time, but it's like Gilliam had a crystal ball and looked 30 years into the United States' future. The alternating between "reality" and dream sequences and the general Gilliam quirkiness will probably put a lot of people off, but it's what drew me to this movie in the first place. If you become fanatical about the movie like I am, you'll need both this blu-ray and the Criterion release. To fully experience the film you need to see every version (even the Love Conquers All version) because each one includes bits that aren't in any of the others. If you do decide to watch Brazil and find that you like it, give some of Gilliam's more recent movies a try, like The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassis and The Zero Theorem. Really, if you like odd, out-of-the-mainstream movies that you'll be thinking about for days after you see them, you can't go wrong with pretty much any Terry Gilliam film.

One Of My Top Ten Movies
It's a Terry Gilliam masterpiece that blends a touch of Monty Python, Twilight Zone, and Broadway! Worth the watch!

Visually Brilliant, Darkly Funny, and Still Uncomfortably Relevant
I rented Brazil through Amazon primarily because I’d heard it described as a dystopian sci-fi classic, but I wasn’t fully prepared for just how strange, creative, and visually dense this movie actually is. It feels like George Orwell had a stress dream after getting trapped inside a malfunctioning government office building designed by someone obsessed with ducts and paperwork. The film does an incredible job blending dark comedy, bureaucracy, paranoia, retro-futurism, and outright absurdity into something that somehow still feels coherent. The world-building is fantastic in a very grimy, claustrophobic way where technology exists everywhere but almost none of it works properly. Everything feels intentionally inefficient and overcomplicated, which makes the setting weirdly believable. Jonathan Pryce does a great job playing a character slowly unraveling under the weight of an increasingly surreal system, and Robert De Niro’s appearance is memorable despite limited screen time. The production design is honestly one of the standout elements of the entire film. Nearly every scene has some strange visual detail happening in the background that adds to the oppressive but oddly humorous atmosphere. This definitely is not a fast-paced mainstream sci-fi movie, though. The pacing can feel slow at times, and the tone swings between satire, anxiety, fantasy, and bleakness in ways that probably won’t work for everyone. It’s the kind of movie where you occasionally stop and think, “What exactly am I watching?” while still wanting to keep watching. The Amazon streaming quality itself was good with no playback issues during my rental, and the film benefits from a decent screen because there’s so much visual detail packed into the sets and cinematography. Overall, Brazil is one of those movies that feels increasingly relevant the older it gets. Strange, unsettling, funny, visually inventive, and much more layered than I expected.

Beautiful, glorious, and depressing but not without levity
Probably Gilliams most serious film, a story of a dreamer in a dystopian bureaucratic future, plagued by monotony and endless paperwork, our protagonist (played by Jonathan Pryce) isn't sure what he wants in his life, but he knows he wants something different. When the Department of Information Retrieval disappears the wrong person (played by Robert De Niro), our hero goes to reimburse the widow and discovers a woman living in the same building who looks like the woman out of his dreams (played by Kim Greist). Really stellar performances by Pryce, and a gaggle of supporting actors such as Ian Holm, Michael Palin, Kathrine Helmond, and Bob Hoskins. Greists performance is probably the weakest, but she does enough for the role that the critique of it amounts to a nit pick really. While this film is considered a cult classic, I would qualify it even less and say its just a classic, full of symbolism with a increasingly repressive tone throughout balanced by Gilliams puncturing, dark humor.
