Films and Comic books are all good forms of entertainments, for some who come to love the characters and the world created therein, they might even want to follow and re-watch their favourite episodes from time to time just to reminisce; but for some, they may love these characters so much that they would do everything they can to become these characters themselves!
In order for the perfect hero of their dreams to appear before the world’s eyes, cosplay lovers would do everything from collecting, trimming and sewing all kinds of special fabrics and materials together to create the perfect costumes for themselves. For this specific team of “Superhero” cosplayers covered in this episode, some even choose to gym up their physiques every week, and train themselves to learn the mad battle skills of their favourite heroic character.
Once transformed into the superheroes of their dream, they often find themselves surrounded by swarms of people, vying to take photos with them. Some may say that popularity is cosplayers’ greatest source of pleasure. Yet as our episode delves into the reasons behind their happiness, we may discover together with these heroes that perhaps, as they look back at their own pictures of memory, the true joy of playing hero has never really stemmed so much from playing pretend but more from the ability to put smiles on the faces of the people around them.
Look closer and you will see that happiness actually is this simple.
看電影,看動漫,有人會視之為一種娛樂,遇上喜愛的,會翻看幾次,甚或追看續集;但有一班超級“粉絲”,更會將自己喜愛的角色親自扮演,從中自得其樂。
一群喜愛<幪面超人>的年青人,為了令自己扮演超人時更完美,不惜四出搜羅物料自製合身的超人服飾,更成立網上專頁與一眾同好分享技術。此外,為求型似兼神似,他們每星期亦騰出時間去操練身手,把幪面超人的打鬥動作演得唯肖唯妙!當他們穿上服飾變身成超人之際,一眾超人愛好者爭相合照,都讓他們得到莫大的滿足,但當他們再細看照片中一張張合照者的笑臉,赫然發現那才是他們快樂的源頭。原來自身的快樂是可以建築在別人的快樂之上。
快樂,其實可以很簡單。
