I saw Batman!

Today I was pretty busy at the office so I didn't go out to lunch until well after 3pm,  I decided to 'do the Jared'  and walk up the hill to Subway (burn calories AND eat healthy!)

From Hollywood Rd I could see a big commotion down on the Mid-level escalators over Wyndham, so I went to investigate...  I immediately knew they were filming the new Batman movie there,  'The Dark Knight' (wikipedia)

今日午後時僕は晩昼ご飯為に出来ました。半山区(ミドーレベルス区)のサーウェーサンド屋行きたかった！その屋香港の有名ミドーレベルスのエスカレーターが有る。人一杯居る、ますぐ知っている皆何を見る。。。新バットマンの映画今香港で撮っている！’バットマン ザ・ダーク・ナイト’と言います！


They were filming up on the overhead area and many people were being corralled onto the right side sidewalk to be out of view.　橋で撮っていた。下から人は見ていた。


Lots of people were watching... many with big lenses on their cameras snapping pictures.
プロですね！

I decided to see how close I could get...　もと近くへ行った。。。

Pretty close!

After enjoying my lunch i came back down and decided to stay for a while and watch...  (and try to get some pictures, of course). ;-)　サンド食べた後も一度行った、有名な人見たかった！

I quickly realized who was standing over there...  the problem was getting a clear picture!

recognize those two guys on the left side near the columns?  One black guy w/ white hair and a white guy in a blue jacket?　その左方が立ち人を見分ける？


Here's a close up...  a little more clear...


Yes that is MORGAN FREEMAN! oh crap,  thats pretty cool!  He is one of my favorite actors. ('Glory', 'Shawshank', 'Unforgiven', etc)　　あそう！モーガン・フリーマンですね！僕は大好きな芸の人ですね！

They were filming a few scenes where he was talking to someone,  I couldn't tell what was going on, or get a very clear picture because the movie company people were continually yelling about 'turn off your flash' and 'don't raise up your camera!'

finally they switched scenes to one where the actors finish their lines and walk away,  Morgan Freeman goes away and the other guy comes towards us.  An assistant director came by and told all the people standing here: 'please don't stare! please don't take out your camera while we are filming!  please look away when the camera follows him as he walks this way or else the movie will look like CRAP !!!  wait til I say 'CUT' and then you can do whatever you want!'

次のシーンは彼は僕より来ました。。。アシスタントディレクターさんは僕達より「映画カメラと彼より見つめてないで下さい！’カート！’と言う後、何でも写真撮れます！」。。。それから僕は待っていました。。。

I took him at his word and yes, I got my Christian Bale picture:　
最後は、やった！撮りたいな写真を撮った：

Of course I didn't take the picture for myself,  I took it so I could make my friend Jun-chan jealous for not coming down to watch the filming!

バトマンですよ！クリスチャン・ベールの写真を撮った！僕為にじゃないよ！友達ジュンちゃんは香港の一番大きなクリスチャン・ベールオタクです。。。彼女為にです！
