表演工作坊拍的電影，賴聲川監製，丁乃箏導演。
本來以為電影中會出現不少香格里拉那邊的壯麗風景，但實際上不多，畢竟這不是一部介紹當地旅遊或人文生態的電影。
雖然這部片是在講一位失去稚子媽媽的心路歷程，但許多片段其實都蠻有感受的。像是季玲自己一個人跑去香格里拉，和現代女性愈來愈多單身前往異國旅行的背包客一樣，都是勇於追求自我的新時代女性。只是季玲已經有了家庭，不論男女，有多少人在有了家庭後，還能這樣拋棄家庭前去異國追求自己的夢呢？
在香格里拉與Alex相遇的季玲，或許是情感作祟，又或許是在異鄉遇到自己國家的人總是特別容易信任對方，很快地就掉了一種情緒當中。或許是信任，或許是依賴，又或許摻雜有幾分的男女情愫，異國旅行或是短時間密集的共同生活似乎總是讓人容易激情起來，只是當旅行或是活動結束，男生雙方又是怎麼看待當初的那一段情緣，似乎又是一個難解的習題。
新任美國總統Barack Obama就任了，而他的就職演說被認為是近年來最受矚目的一場就職演說，裡頭沒提到什麼具體的施政內容，但卻告訴美國人民一些基本的精神與態度，整場演說短，卻很能掌握群眾氣氛，大家可以看看演說的全文和實況轉播。
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
