《肖申克的救赎》的英文影评 版本二邮件发给你
Though adapted from a Stephen King novella, "The Shawshank Redemption" has more to do with a man's internal demons than the kind that routinely rise up from overgrown graveyards. Like "Stand by Me," it's not a typical story from the horror King. Instead, it's a devoutly old-fashioned, spiritually uplifting prison drama about two lifers who must break their emotional shackles before they can finally become free men.
Set in a spooky old penitentiary with turrets and towers, the movie manages to be true to its Big House origins while incorporating such horrific mainstays as the clanking of chains and the creaking of the walls. There's even a raven that roosts in the prison library, where he is cared for by a darling old trusty (James Whitmore). For the most part, however, the movie expands upon cliches that date back to James Cagney's prison portraits梩he twisted warden (Bob Gunton) and the sadistic guard (Clancy Brown).
Director Frank Darabont, who apprenticed on B-scripts ("The Fly II") and TV movies ("Buried Alive"), manages to fashion an improbable new pattern from the same old material in his remarkable debut. While he deals with the grimmest aspects of prison life (sadistic guards, gang rapes and befouled food), Darabont is chiefly interested in the 20-year friendship that sustains Andy (Tim Robbins) and Red (Morgan Freeman) .
The movie opens in 1947 as Andy, a prominent New England banker, is on trial for murdering his wife and her lover. Not only did he have a motive, but he had the opportunity梙is footprints were found at the scene of the crime梐nd he had a weapon of the caliber used in the shootings. He insists that he is innocent, but the jury finds him guilty. Sentenced to life twice over, Andy is shipped to the maximum-security state prison at Shawshank, Maine. An introverted loner with an interest in reading, chess and rock carving, Andy doesn't make himself many friends until Red, a 30-year-veteran of the system, decides to take him under his wing.
Things begin to change for the better when Andy finds a way to use his skills and ecation to benefit his fellow felons. When he overhears the guard captain complaining about losing most of an inheritance to taxes, he offers to trade his advice for three beers for each of the men who are working with him that day tarring the roof.
His reputation as a financial adviser spreads, and soon he is doing the taxes for all the guards and running the warden's outside scams. This leads to a position in the tiny prison library, which Andy graally expands into the best ecational facility of its kind in the area. It takes him six years to do it, but Andy never gives up hope.
It is hope that allows the self-proclaimed innocent man to survive what may or may not be an unjust imprisonment. And hope is his gift to his friend Red, who no longer even tries to impress the parole board at his hearings. He's become "institutionalized," he explains to Andy, and would be a "nobody" on the outside.
Red's gift to Andy is absolution when he finally confesses his true sins. Whether or not he pulled the trigger, Andy blames himself for causing his wife's death; his redemption comes as he learns to give of himself over the course of this marvelously acted and directed film.
Robbins gives a performance that evolves with beautiful clarity from starchy banker to warm and loving friend. Freeman is sure to gain his third Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Red. He also reads the film's lovely narration, much of it drawn verbatim from King's 1982 novella.
A detailed portrait of the routine of cellblock life, "The Shawshank Redemption" might change a few minds about the usefulness of incarceration in terms of rehabilitation. Mostly, though, it reminds us of that we all hold the keys to our own prisons.
《楚门的世界》英文影评The Truman Show'' is founded on an enormous secret that all of the studio's advertising has been determined to reveal. I didn't know the secret when I saw the film, and was able to enjoy the little doubts and wonderings that the filmmakers so carefully planted. If by some good chance you do not know the secret, read no further.
Those fortunate audience members (I trust they have all left the room?) will be able to appreciate the meticulous way director Peter Weir and writer Andrew Niccol have constructed a jigsaw plot around their central character, who doesn't suspect that he's living his entire life on live television. Yes, he lives in an improbably ideal world, but I fell for that: I assumed the movie was taking a sitcom view of life, in which neighbors greet each other over white picket fences, and Ozzie and Harriet are real people.
Actually, it's Seaside, a planned community on the Gulf Coast near Tampa. Called Seahaven in the movie, it looks like a nice place to live. Certainly Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) doesn't know anything else. You accept the world you're given, the filmmakers suggest; more thoughtful viewers will get the buried message, which is that we accept almost everything in our lives without examining it very closely. When was the last time you reflected on how really odd a tree looks? Truman works as a sales executive at an insurance company, is happily married to Meryl (Laura Linney), and doesn't find it suspicious that she describes household procts in the language of TV commercials. He is happy, in a way, but an uneasiness gnaws away at him. Something is missing, and he thinks perhaps he might find it in Fiji, where Lauren (Natascha McElhone), the only woman he really loved, allegedly has moved with her family.
Why did she leave so quickly? Perhaps because she was not a safe bet for Truman's world: The actress who played her (named Sylvia) developed real feeling and pity for Truman, and felt he should know the truth about his existence. Meryl, on the other hand, is a reliable pro (which raises the question, unanswered, of their sex life).
Truman's world is controlled by a TV procer named Christof (Ed Harris), whose control room is high in the artificial dome that provides the sky and horizon of Seahaven. He discusses his programming on talk shows, and dismisses the protests of those (including Sylvia) who believe Truman is the victim of a cruel deception. Meanwhile, the whole world watches Truman's every move, and some viewers even leave the TV on all night, as he sleeps.
The trajectory of the screenplay is more or less inevitable: Truman must graally realize the truth of his environment, and try to escape from it. It's clever the way he's kept on his island by implanted traumas about travel and water. As the story unfolds, however, we're not simply expected to follow it: We're invited to think about the implications. About a world in which modern communications make celebrity possible, and inhuman.
Until fairly recently, the only way you could become really famous was to be royalty, or a writer, actor, preacher or politician--and even then, most people had knowledge of you only through words or printed pictures.
Television, with its insatiable hunger for material, has made celebrities into ``content,'' devouring their lives and secrets. If you think ``The Truman Show'' is an exaggeration, reflect that Princess Diana lived under similar conditions from the day she became engaged to Charles.
Carrey is a surprisingly good choice to play Truman. We catch glimpses of his manic comic persona, just to make us comfortable with his presence in the character, but this is a well-planned performance; Carrey is on the right note as a guy raised to be liked and likable, who decides his life requires more risk and hardship. Like the angels in ``City of Angels,'' he'd like to take his chances.
Ed Harris also finds the right notes as Christof, the TV svengali. He uses the technospeak by which we distance ourselves from the real meanings of our words. (If TV procers ever spoke frankly about what they were really doing, they'd come across like Bulworth.) For Harris, the demands of the show take precedence over any other values, and if you think that's an exaggeration, tell it to the TV news people who broadcast that Los Angeles suicide.
I enjoyed ``The Truman Show'' on its levels of comedy and drama; I liked Truman in the same way I liked Forrest Gump--because he was a good man, honest, and easy to sympathize with.
But the underlying ideas made the movie more than just entertainment. Like ``Gattaca,'' the previous film written by Niccol, it brings into focus the new values that technology is forcing on humanity.
Because we can engineer genetics, because we can telecast real lives--of course we must, right? But are these good things to do? The irony is, the people who will finally answer that question will be the very ones proced by the process.

以下是《2012》的影评The world is ending in a matter of hours, yet justice and humanity don’t penetrate through the brain-shells of politicians. In order to save their own lives, the government officials keep the secret from the rest of human kind and also lets the man whose knowledge saves their lives die. This is the premise of 2012.But if the viewer is a Tibetan or someone who is aware of the Tibetan culture and the sensitivities of Tibetan issue, one could feel that the justice and humanity are not occurred in the director’s thought either.There is a scene long enough to mention that takes place in Tibet. In fact the last human beings die there and the new seed of the future human race starts at the neck of Mount Everest, “The People’s Republic of China” the movie calls it. Perhaps what no movie reviewer noticed or saw the importance of mentioning is that the prophetic fictitious story of the movie not only makes a statement that Tibet is completely a part of China, but also it totally misrepresents the core culture of Tibetan people. A Tibetan woman killing animals in Tibet is taboo, it never happened except ring the Cultural Revolution when some women were forced to do so. Women killing chickens in the Chinese market is an everyday event, but a Tibetan woman killing a CHICKEN reflects the director’s cultural ignorance and it makes the movie even more ridiculous.And in real life ethically speaking, Mr. Emmerich failed to hire Tibetan actors who can speak their own language. All the actors who play Tibetan characters are Chinese very poorly pretending to be Tibetans. Their Tibetan is hundred times worse than Zhang Yi’s memorized English or Leonardo DiCaprio’s Swahili (well I can imagine!).

Kent State University's school of theatre and dance performed a rendition of the classic, Jane Eyre this month. The show was a musical with all of the necessary elements to lift you from your seat and submerse youinto a society in nineteenth century England from the time the cell phone shut-off announcement was made until the last note at the curtain call. The recurring arches, darkened, soft lighting, and the use of a classic chorus to go along with them alluded that a sinister underbelly of social status and reputation were present in the performance.
One of the first things that an audience member noticed was the grandeur of the set. It was composed of a gothic-style foreground with rustic twigs of a root-like earthy appearance. There were grand arches for windows and entries as well. Also, the background was a large arch with the silhouette of roots. There were also two matching greek-style pillar arches on either side of the stage. They added a lot to many messages of the show. For one, they were grand structures that were barren inside which is much like Mr. Rochester himself. He was a man of high social stature but felt enslaved by his trick of a marriage and his grand yet incomplete (without a true love) home. The arches also suggest the importance of reputation with the same sort of fundamental grand image yet emptiness. The way that people are enslaved yet scramble to ascertain that solid image amongst their peers. The arches were almost inviting the audience to come inside to reveal their secret, the thing that was hidden deep inside that could send the structure crumbling in ruin.

《百来万英镑》给我印象深刻源的是它的幽默滑稽的手法，生动有趣又入木三分地展现了金钱社会的世态炎凉。具有讽刺意味的是，差不多一个世纪过去了，片中描写的种种现象都存在于现实社会中，让人联想到当今社会中人们的感慨，“钱不是万能的，但没钱是万万不能的”，极具批判现实意义 。派克在片中颓废加调侃的表演和他在银幕上大多数严肃正义的君子形象迥然不同，显示了他塑造不同类型人物的功力和演技。

《海上钢琴师》
一九零零年的第一天。油轮维珍尼亚号载着熙熙攘攘的欢呼人群在纽约港靠岸。在梦想的鼓动下黑压压的人流涌下船，迎接充满可能性的美好未来。喧嚣过后，船上除了船员所剩无几。添煤工人Danny Boodman于是偷偷跑到餐厅搜罗客人遗落下的贵重物品，结果一无所获。失望之余，他在钢琴架上发现一个漂亮的婴儿。他抱起婴儿，看见他的目光清澈，皮肤白净。Danny Boodman对这意外收获十分惊喜，于是收留了这个孩子，起名叫1900，纪念这孩子在新世纪的第一天被他收养。
善良的Danny Boodman十分痛爱小1900，教他读书，不让他受苦。但因为没有任何出生证明之类的文件，Danny Boodman害怕1900会被别人抢走，不许他离开船舱一步。
在1900八岁时，Danny Boodman死了，在懵懂的1900于生离死别前迷茫时，突然听见远处传来美妙动人的声音，他回过头，身边一个亚洲女人告诉他，这是音乐。
几日后，1900在夜里偷偷溜进餐厅，来到白天船属乐手演奏娱乐上等乘客的钢琴前，弹起了自己即兴发挥的曲子。歌声吵醒了许多乘客，他们好奇的想去探个究竟，却都陶醉在这小家伙如天籁般的音乐中。直到音乐停下来，船长才过去对他说，“1900，你不可以弹琴，这完全不合规矩。”年幼的1900任性的回答说：“规矩全都滚蛋。”
几年后，成人的1900成了维珍尼亚号乐队的钢琴师，虽然他从未下过船，但是已经名声远扬。在一次暴风雨中，他巧遇了正在晕船的max，两个人十分投缘。从此，max成了他一生的知己。
max十分欣赏他的音乐才华，但也同时对他固执的不肯下船等上陆地感到困惑。他希望1900能向世人展示自己的才华，得到世人的承认，名利双收，过上好的生活。但对1900而言，世人向往的生活对他而言太过遥远，无法理解，也因此根本不具备诱惑力。
即使弹琴胜过爵士乐的始祖Jelly Roll Morto，让max名声大噪，唱片出版商希望为他录制唱片，并保证他会名利双收，他的内心依然平静，安于生活和音乐带给他的快乐。直到他遇到一个朴素而迷人的女孩。那一天他正在录制唱片，女孩顺着窗子向里看，和他四目相对，他立刻爱上了她。随兴而发弹奏了一曲为爱情的柔情似水的曲子。
在女孩下船的几周后，1900十分的痛苦，他想去找她。max的劝说和对爱情生活的憧憬打动了他，他最终决定下船，登上陌生的陆地。那天所有的船员都和他挥手告别，他穿着max送给他的大衣，缓慢的走下船梯，走到一边时，他茫然的看着诺大的纽约市，凝视了一阵，他突然拿起礼帽抛向远方，然后回头，返回了船上。他对max说，我再也不下船了。
直到许多年后，大战结束，早已离开维珍尼亚号的max偶然发现破旧的维珍尼亚号就要被炸掉，他坚信1900在船上，几经周折，最终找到了他。但是1900执意不肯下船，世界太广阔了，让他陌生得害怕，这个船对他就是一切。max最终悲伤的离去，在远处目送维珍尼亚号和1900一同被炸弹粉碎。
那天他告诉曾对之提起过1900的传奇故事的乐器行老板1900死了，老板也感到惋惜，于是把max因为窘迫买掉的小号还给了他，对他说，一个好的故事比一个旧小号值钱。带着仅值旧小号的1900的故事，max离开了，从此，很少再有人会记起那一生不会踏上陆地的天才钢琴师和他传奇的一生。
戏剧之所以为戏剧，便因为命运推动故事展开，而并非常理。戏剧不贴近我们的生活。我们不会用一生去固守一样东西，更不会传奇的生活，并传奇的死去。所以戏剧的目的，主要是让我们沉浸在大的悲喜中感动。海上钢琴师是戏剧，但又贴近人心。因为整篇故事充满着人情味，有对未来充满梦想的乘客，也有执着于音乐一生的钢琴师，有一生知己惺惺相惜的情谊，也有一见钟情，魂不守舍的浪漫爱情。
我看海上钢琴师前，已有无数人介绍，不过，已经有所准备，在看过后，我亦不能减少我的溢美之词。所谓经典，就是指这样的电影。
8岁的1900养父意外死去，他的养父温和而豪爽，对他极好。葬礼上的1900眼泪未干，却满脸迷惑，他不知道为什么会生离死别，不知道这是怎样一种情况，他为什么见不到他的养父了，为什么会如此的痛苦和恐慌。这时，他听见远处隐约传来打动人心的美丽声音，他回过头，身边的女人告诉他说，这是音乐。
1900从此迷上了音乐，这不仅是因为他在音乐上的天资极高，也因为他发现，通过音乐，他能把心中的任何情感表达出来，那一声一声的痛楚打动着他的心，也让他对这残忍的痛苦从此释然。
所以当许多年后骄横的爵士乐始祖提出与1900比琴技时，我便确信1900必胜，因为技巧无法战胜体验人生百态的音乐，那是打动，抚慰人心的声音。1900通过双手一点一点剥离你曾经的痛楚和快乐，使你深有触动。
但是海上钢琴师也仍有许多败笔，1900神游世界的情节在整个剧情中显得有些孤立，无法呼应其他情节，只能算无关痛痒的点缀。在与爵士乐始祖一战，通过技巧和天赋战胜对手，增加了1900的传奇色彩，但是相比较，如果通过感人的琴技打动对手剧情上更完美。结局千呼万唤始出来，普鲁特·泰勒·文斯的演技似乎却并不足以驾驭max的戏份，所以只能让提姆·罗素所扮演的1900唱独角戏，整体上显得苍白。
但海上钢琴师之所以成为经典，在于他的许多对话精确的体现了1900的内心。从小就呆在船上的1900对陆地充满了恐惧，他一生从未曾踏上陆地，只在双手游动于琴弦间时神游世界，和通过双眼观察旅客，体味人生百态。一个中年船客的话被一直记在他内心深处。那个船客告诉他，他听见大海说，生命是重大的，所以他才要改变。也许是因为那个人提到了海的声音他才能去相信，因为只有声音才是他与这个世界最直接最敏锐的沟通途径。他一直对陆地怀有矛盾的情感，他向往它，又不肯触及它，所以那个中年人的话让他相信，也许终有一天，他回离开船。——但是直到那一天他决定离开，他突然发现，外面的世界对他如此陌生，他从未接触过，不知何去何从，从哪里出发，终归何处，他对自己所能做的感到迷茫，对未知的感到害怕。他只能留在船上，即使，最后一起被炸药炸飞。
他说：“我看不见城市的尽头，我需要看见世界的尽头。拿钢琴来说，键盘有始也有终，并不是无限的，音乐是无限的。在琴键上，奏出无限的音乐，我喜欢。可是走过跳板之后，前面的键盘，有无数的琴键。无限大的键盘怎奏得出音乐？——不是给凡人奏，是给上帝奏。我生于船，长于船。这艘船每次只载客二千，既载人也载梦想，但范围离不开船头与船尾之间，我过惯那样的日子——陆地？对我来说，陆地是艘太大的船，是位太美的美女，是条太长的航程，是瓶太浓的香水，是篇无从弹奏的乐章。我没法舍弃这艘船。我宁可……舍弃自己的生命。反正，世间没有人记得我，除了你，只有你知道我在这里。你属于少数，原谅我，朋友，我不能下船。 ”
max最后没有再去劝他，所以他是1900的知己，他知道1900的结局之能如此，无人能改变，这对1900也许是唯一的，最正确的选择。在离别时max不时的因为1900的轻松的玩笑话停下脚步，仿佛告诉我们，1900的死去对1900自己是真正的幸福。
在影片中，1900的故事即使被讲述也并无法让人相信，感人肺腑的情节最后换来max拿回了自己的小号。这是最感伤之处。我曾经相信1900随着炸弹上天对故事而言已经是一个完美的结局，但随后平淡的结束却不给我任何的累赘感。这个结局是天赐的，我相信。最后的镜头max在街道的尽头消失，无论曾如何红极一时，这传奇的故事平淡的落幕，1900也只能活在max的回忆中。 人生本来就是一出没有固定剧本的戏.
你身旁的每一个人都是观众,只是他们的目的和看法不同.
你身旁的每一个人又都是演员,上演着一出出波澜不惊的生活故事.
这个世界需要传奇.
也许1900有了心爱的女孩作为观众,他的人生会变的更色彩纷呈，充满活力，但我们仍会怀疑男女主人公最后的命运.
也许1900上了岸以后,会变的名利双收,无往不利,但我们仍会思索一个船一个世界,孰轻孰重.
因为有了爱人的1900,就不再是经典,上了岸的1900便不再是传奇.
为了这个传奇,导演残忍的让一个天才娶了一架钢琴.1900真正的爱人就是钢琴.每一个琴音所表达的感情,1900都再熟悉不过.人与人之间的感情不可能达到这一点,有点可悲,但确是事实.
这是一个物质丰富,但感情相对匮乏的时代,各式各样的欲望冲淡了感情的点点滴滴.
人们需要通过戏剧来惊喜,来悲伤,来感动.
人们需要塑造经典.不朽传奇........

Source Code is an enjoyable Sci-fi thriller shot in Hitchcockian style,which reminds of the 1993 flick Groundhog Day.Director Duncan Jones who earlier directed the critically acclaimed movie Moon(2009) has created his second movie in even better way pleasing all the sections of the audience using an excellent screenplay by Ben Ripley.
Captain Colterswakes up in a train to Chicago, inside a body of a teacher whom he does not identify and comes to know that he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train and to prevent another bombing in the city.
Jake Gyllenhaal(Whom we loved in Prince of Persia) has done a superb job by effortlessly portraying the confusions,emotions and essence of Captain Colter Stevens.Michelle Monagahan has also played her role remarkably well and suits the role of a lovable Christina Warren.Vera Farmiga (Up In The Air fame) and Jeffrey Wright have done their parts with full commitment and requires appreciation.
Some small goofs about the bombing of the train and colter Stevens and low quality graphic effects,particularly the explosion scenes are the only negatives which can be picked out.
Excellent incorporation of love into a sci-fi background,goof-less script by Ben Ripley,the Hitchcockian way of story-telling and brisk Editing of the movie makes it a must watch for movie lovers.
Source Code is a thoroughly enjoyable Science Fiction with a well-crafted storyline,good performances,strong screenplay and commendable direction.Go for this movie and you will love it.

pearl harbour film review
Pearl Harbor consists of three incongruous acts, mashed together into an ungainly whole. It appears to be more interested in reprocing the success of Titanic, which also set a fictional love story amidst a tragic historical event, than it is in telling the story of the men and women who fought and died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Titanic worked because the central characters were interesting, the story was cohesive, the historical events were handled respectfully and with the proper dramatic tone, and underneath it all was an intelligent reflection on the human failings that permitted such a tragedy in the first place.
Pearl Harbor reces the historical backdrop into a series of action set pieces. Instead of exploring ideas inherent in the events, it extracts them, recing the reason for Japan's attack to something inexplicable at best, and having utterly nothing to say about why the attack happened, how it was carried out, or how we responded. The film is dedicated to the men who died at Pearl Harbor, but what does it dedicate to them? It does not seem very interested in them except as a tool for dramatic imagery. Consider, for example, a scene in which we learn that men are trapped in a sunken ship in the harbor. We learn this to emphasize the brutality of the attack, as if such emphasis were needed. Then the film forgets this point entirely, providing the fates of those men in a narrated line just before the closing credits. Why wasn't the third act of the film about those men, instead of a rushed covering of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, complete with overblown crash landings and an improbable engagement with Japanese soldiers?
If you want to see a real movie about Pearl Harbor or the Doolittle Raid, one that paints a deep and accurate picture of what it was like, one you can learn from, one that pays tribute to our veterans, or even just one that functions as convincing entertainment, there is no shortage of options. Tora! Tora! Tora! chronicles the events before, ring, and after the attack from both the American and Japanese sides. Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo is as thorough a chronicle of the Doolittle Raid as is probably possible in a feature film, while also following the personal stories of a few indivials involved (any one of which is more interesting than the personal story in Pearl Harbor). The Purple Heart, one of the most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen, tells the story of Americans captured by the Japanese after the raid.
Writing off the historical aspects of the film, I am left with the love triangle that makes up the entire first act and pervades the rest of it. It is wholly uninteresting. This same story has been told better, countless times before. Not one of the three characters is fleshed out into an indivial: they are bland stereotypes, dolled up to look pretty and given trite lines that they recite to convey the illusion of genuine emotion. It's telling that it doesn't much matter to us how the love triangle is resolved. Unless they both die, she'll get one of them, and who cares which? Neither of the men are personable, and we surely suspect early on that her decision will be based more on fate than her own volition anyway. (In plots like this, it's survival of the survivors.) And so, alas, we are denied even the most basic of all elements of storytelling, namely, characters making actual decisions
