Philadelphia

Now I can still remember when I first watch this movie. It was a wet sunny afternoon, I have nothing urgent to do and there was someone said that another classroom is going to show a film called Philadelphia. I was attracted by the Chinese translation of the title that is referred as the story of Philadelphia. And then, magic two and a half hours. After I walk out of the classroom, the songs the pictures the lines still haunted me. With the sunlight through the trees projected shadow on me, as if I was walking on the street of Philadelphia, the na?ve kid rode a bicycle passed me, people all wear peaceful smiles; while I still feel sad, for I was going to say goodbye to all of these best things that god promised to give. And it was exactly the mood of main character Andrew at the beginning of the movie. With the rising of music, a long picture of this city is shown in front of us.

Andrew Beckett is a senior associate at the largest corporate law firm in Philadelphia where he didn’t open his identity as a homosexuality nor the fact that he got AIDS. One day, his partner found he’s secret. Then Beckett was dismissed for his partners questioned his professional abilities in the light of the misplaced documents although he just got promotion. When Beckett finally found out why he was dismissed was because his diagnosis with AIDS. Beckett got angry and disappointed, so he decided to sue his company. He asked so many attorneys to take his cases, but nobody dared to do that. There was a lawyer named Miller who was homophobic and knew little about AIDS, he came to visit his doctor immediately to find out if he would have contracted AIDS after shaking Beckett’s hand. The doctor explained the methods of HIV infection. Unable to find a lawyer willing to represent him, Beckett was compelled to act as his own attorney. One day when Beckett was searching a case at a law library, Miller met him on a nearby table. After the librarian said loudly that he had found a book on the AIDS discrimination for Beckett, the people sitting besides him feared and then moved away to other places, so the librarian suggested Beckett for a private room. Disguised by those people’s behavior, Miller came to help Beckett to review his materials. As the case went before the court, Beckett’s illness was aggravated but he still appeared on the court even sitting on the wheelchair. However, one day, during the head of the firm, Charles Wheeler’s testimony, Beckett collapsed and was sent to the hospital then. Fortunately, during his hospitalization, the jury voted on his favor. Although it was only one more vote, Beckett was awarded his back pay, damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damage totaling more than $5M. After verdict, Miller was visited the hospital and finally summoned

his courage to touch Beckett’s face. After Beckett’s family leave the room, he told Miller that he was ready to die. After Beckett’s death, Miller came to his home and watched the home movie of Beckett as a child with his family.

Philadelphia is a 1993 American drama film and also one of the first mainstream Hollywood film concerns HIV, homosexuality and homophobia. Star Tom Hanks won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Andrew Beckett in this film, also the song “Streets of Philadelphia” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

To me, the two songs separately on the beginning and the ending with pictures that is as smooth as the flowing water are the highlights in the movie.

The song at the beginning named Streets of Philadelphia. The male singer sung the lyrics in a low voice “I was bruised and battered and I couldn’t tell what I feel. I was unrecognizable to myself. I saw my reflection in a window and I didn’t know my own face”. The man was sitting on the bus and watching the scenes of the city alone. People swept the leaves on the lawn, firemen got ready for a day’s work, ship on the dock was about to leave, old lady in the supermarket sold the fresh fish, athletes was riding near the morning lake, and children waving hello with big smile on their face…It’s just a normal morning in the city of Philadelphia, but this poor man said:“I heard the voices of friends vanishing and gone. At night I could hear the blood in my veins. Black and whispering as the rain.”Though he was in the city, he felt he couldn’t really fit in it for his identity as a homosexual couldn’t be identified by most of people. Though every little daily thing was so nice, he couldn’t find a place to comfort his heart. So he sang:“Ain’t no angel gonna greet me, it’s just you and I my friend.”Actually there’s not only you and I, but the people who are also homosexual that get lost in this city, try desperately to hide themselves away and act normal. Those who couldn’t get support from their family and friends and went opposite from the society moral value felt there were given up by the angles. What deeply rooted in their heart, was a feeling of helplessness and desperation and a kind of “fading away in the fallen night”. So the beginning of the film is Beckett’s internal monologue.

Let us take a sight the ending of the film; the song named Philadelphia sung by Neil Young is also a classic.“Sometimes I think that I know, what love’s all about. And when I see the light, I know I’ll be all right.”Compared to the sad tone at the beginning, this song send a hopeful message to the audience. With the pictures of Beckett’s childhood, director seems to tell us that homosexual is only normal people who have the same happy childhood as everyone else.

Although the film gives us a happy ending with the victory of Beckett, in reality, the challenge in front of the homosexual and AIDS patient is still hard. If only the people who have watched Philadelphia could show a little understanding and tolerance to this group of people, then the aim of the movie is achieved.

Journey to the Center of the Earth(地心游记)2008经典电影英文影评

Journey to the Center of the Earth（地心游记）2008 There is a part of me that will always have affection for a movie like "Journey to the Center of the Earth." It is a small part and steadily shrinking, but once I put on the 3-D glasses and settled in my seat, it started perking up. This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be. There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it. If I had seen it when I was 8, I would have remembered it with deep affection for all these years, until I saw it again and realized how little I really knew at that age. You are already familiar with the premise, that there is another land inside of our globe. You are familiar because the Jules Verne novel has inspired more than a dozen movies and countless TV productions, including a series, and has been ripped off by such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, who called it Pellucidar, and imagined that the Earth was hollow and there was another world on the inside surface. (You didn't ask, but yes, I own a copy of Tarzan at the Earth's Core with the original dust jacket.) In this version, Brendan Fraser stars as a geologist named Trevor, who defends the memory of his late brother, Max, who believed the center of the Earth could be reached through "volcanic tubes." Max disappeared on a mysterious expedition, which, if it involved volcanic tubes, should have been no surprise to him. Now Trevor has been asked to spend some time with his nephew, Max's son, who is named Sean (Josh Hutcherson). What with one thing and another, wouldn't you know they find themselves in Iceland, and peering down a volcanic tube. They are joined in this enterprise by Hannah (Anita Briem), who they find living in Max's former research headquarters near the volcano he was investigating. Now begins a series of adventures, in which the operative principle is: No matter how frequently or how far they fall, they will land without injury. They fall very frequently, and very far. The first drop lands them at the bottom of a deep cave, from which they cannot possibly climb, but they remain remarkably optimistic: "There must be a way out of here!" Sure enough, they find an abandoned mine shaft and climb aboard three cars of its miniature railway for a scene that will make you swear the filmmakers must have seen "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Just like in that movie, they hurtle down the tracks at breakneck speeds; they're in three cars, on three more or less parallel tracks, leading you to wonder why three parallel tracks were constructed at great expense and bother, but just when such questions are forming, they have to (1) leap a chasm, (2) jump from one car to another, and (3) crash. It's a funny thing about that little railway: After all these years, it still has lamps hanging over the rails, and the electricity is still on. The problem of lighting an unlit world is solved in the next cave they enter, which is inhabited by cute little birds that glow in the dark. One of them makes friends with Sean, and leads them on to the big attraction -- a world bounded by a great interior sea. This world must be a terrible place to inhabit; it has man-eating and man-strangling plants, its waters harbor giant-fanged fish and fearsome sea snakes that eat them, and on the further shore is a Tyrannosaurus rex. So do the characters despair? Would you despair, if you were trapped miles below the surface in a cave and being chased by its hungry inhabitants? Of course not. There isn't a moment in the movie when anyone seems frightened, not even during a fall straight down for thousands of feet, during which they link hands like sky-divers and carry on a conversation. Trevor gets the ball rolling: "We're still falling!" I mentioned 3-D glasses earlier in the review. Yes, the movie is available in 3-D in "selected theaters." Select those theaters to avoid. With a few exceptions (such as the authentic IMAX process), 3-D remains underwhelming to me -- a distraction, a disappointment and more often than not offering a dingy picture. I guess setting your story inside the Earth is one way to explain why it always seems to need more lighting. The movie is being shown in 2-D in most theaters, and that's how I wish I had seen it. Since there's that part of me with a certain weakness for movies like this, it's possible I would have liked it more. It would have looked brighter and clearer, and the photography wouldn't have been cluttered up with all the leaping and gnashing of teeth. Then I could have appreciated the work of the plucky actors, who do a lot of things right in this movie, of which the most heroic is keeping a straight face. 1

Seven(七宗罪)1995经典电影英文影评

Seven(七宗罪)1995 David Fincher's classic tale of inventive serial killing and urban degredation, with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman on excellent form Who'd have thought? An absurd-sounding tale of a serial killer basing his crimes around the seven deadly sins, directed by the man behind the mess that was Alien3, turning out to be one of the most chilling and original thrillers of the 1990s. From the outset, through the film's brilliantly designed deliberate under-lighting - we see very little blood and guts - and muffled sound, the audience is encouraged to lean towards the screen, immerse itself in the film's unbearably grim world. Pitt is in career-making form as Mills, a simple cop moving with his sweet young wife (Paltrow) to a grim, anonymous city, determined to make a difference, to do some good. He is assigned to track down a vengeful killer, and works alongside Somerset (Freeman), a jaded, wise policeman on the verge of retirement. The two are that modern movie cliché -the mismatched pair thrown together by circumstance, who gradually learn mutual respect. But Fincher and Walker take these hackneyed ingredients, play with them in the context of a brilliantly cohesive plot, and present something consistently fresh - the police finding themselves with too much evidence, the premature unmasking of the killer - and very, very dark. 1

费城故事观后感5篇

《费城故事观后感》费城故事观后感（一）：人的一生中最重要的到底是什么？是爱，是一分钟都不能缺少的感情和安慰。爱和感情像阳光和空气一样，让一个活着的人获得生命，获得成长的力量和勇气题记前几天看了一部想看很久的影片《费城故事》，先前就听说过它是讲关于同性恋方面的，但我对于此类类主题并不是大感兴趣，而真正地原因是在于其获得过奥斯卡大奖及其主演是汤姆。汉克斯，恰巧我又是喜欢看电影的人，所以便抽出空来去学校礼堂瞧了一瞧，因为这场电影是为了纪念世界艾滋病日而专门放映的，感兴趣的人不是很多，所以空位不少，随便挑了一张椅子坐下，可这一座，便是90分钟主人公安德鲁是费城一位十分杰出的律师，他毕业于名牌大学，思维敏捷，精通法律，原本在事业上一帆风顺，可由于他同时是个同性恋，和其他同志一样，不时地出没于各种专属于同性恋者的场所，到那里去寻找只属于自我的快乐。但是十分可惜，他因此患上了艾滋病，我们都明白，这是一种致命的病毒，死亡率很高，而在主人公生活的年代，因为自身的某种不良行径而患上这种病则还有另一层含义：你将被社会所抛弃。因此当他的上司从他脸上的伤疤明白他患有艾滋病之后，便使用诡计将他开除出了公司，安德鲁当晚明白他被开除的真正原因，能够预见其当时的绝望情绪，但他并不服输，随后在走访了9家律师事务所都没能如愿找到帮他打这起非法解雇员工案子的律师之后，他踏进了乔（我们的男二号）的事务所。但是同其他多数人一样，乔对于艾滋病（尤其是因为同性恋引起的）一开始也是十分反感。他看不起同性恋者，认为他们是社会的异类，是不洁身自好的臭虫，并不肯为其打这场官司。于是安德鲁只好绝望的离开，但是当镜头长时光地给到其出门后在大街上好似四处寻觅的双眼时，我开始意识到我错了，他的眼睛里闪现的并不是绝望，而是坚韧，是期望。影片到此已经是很吊观众的胃口了，观众急于想明白主人公将怎样处理这一绝境的，不出意料，安德鲁的确是个不肯轻言放下的人，他只身坐在图书馆中查阅有关保障同性恋权益的法律条文，或许在他心中始终有一个不变的信念：我与其他人一样，没有任何的不一样。另外，我想影片之所以把背景设置成为费城《独立宣言》的签署之地，就应是有意为之的，而主人公恰是一位律师美国司法界的一员，更是有想对美国司法界说点什么的意思。事实上这起案件重点并不是经理对员工的解雇是否非法，而在于他的上司是因为对艾滋病患者的歧视才将其解雇。真正令我感动的也并不是艾滋病患者的权益最终被保护，而是主人公最后真的能够说一声Imready。他深知自我也许活不到庭审结束就会死亡，但是他依然不屑的努力，去争取自我的尊严，这种信念与坚持，正式打动我最深的地方。影片并没有将笔墨过多的放在主人公的个人情感上，也没有过多的描述如何去打赢这场官司获得赔偿，相反地，这些情节仅仅是一笔带过，重点是突出了安德鲁之所以能坐下去的原因。那么安德鲁的信念来自何处呢？回答很简单：爱。并不仅仅仅来自于他的伴侣，更来自于他的家人，他的父母、兄弟姐妹没有他们的支持与鼓励，安德鲁就不会有勇气走到法庭上，去追求自身的权益。爱是这部电影的主题，也是导演想要将他融会到社会问题中去的原因，艾滋病不可怕，可怕的是患病后被人抛弃，失去爱的感觉。当世人对你不予理睬，当你失去了工作，当你被人误解时，来自家

小王子电影观后感英文版

小王子电影观后感英文版本文为小王子电影观后感英文版范文，让我们通过以下的文章来了解。 Recently, I read a fairy story book, Little Prince. This book tells the adventurous experiences of little prince from his planet to the earth. Little prince comes from the outer space and he is hurt by a rose. So he leaves there and travels into space. He comes to the earth and be the friend of a fox. The fox tells his secret to little prince and he helps a pilot in the desert. In the end, he dies under the help of a snake and his soul goes back to his planet. This book is very interesting and teaches me a lot. I like little price adventures. He teaches me to be honest and love others. All of us should never loss the pureness of childhood. This is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. It’s been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. It’s this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy

英文影评《费城故事》

Film Review on Philadelphia Philadelphia, directed by Jonathan Demme, featured by Tom Hanks and Danzel Washington, tells a story about a AIDS patients who has fired because suffering from AIDS fight for his right with legal. As the groundbreaking achievement in Hollywood's first look at AIDS discrimination, the movie is mainly about two sensitive topics: homosexuality and AIDS. To analyze the contradictions in the story from the theory of Structuralism, there are two sets of conflicts: the endless case with Andrew’s former employer, and Andrew’s good fight against sickness. The gay character, Andrew, a social outcast that facing to the death, is still fighting against the serious illness and the discrimination from the society all the way; The black lawyer, Miller, someone doesn't like homosexuals, agrees to take the case for sympathy. In the name of justice and humanity, in the spirit of compassion, Andrew and Miller tried to fight for legal right in a common action. They gradually become friends and come to understand one another during the quarrel. From Miller’s eyes, we can feel And rew’s love to life and live. There is a impressiveness scene in the movie: Listening to the inspiring music, Andrew put on a drip, described to Miller his hunger for affection, and his desire for life. Life is not what you see in the films, it’s much harder. “Philadelphia” was made in 1993, In that time, people’s attitude to AIDS and homosexual are stern, rigid and unreasonable. Most people still feel a hearty dislike about homosexuality, much more a gay with AIDS. "Philadelphia" leads the trend of innovation to the AIDS discrimination. It gave hope to the many others who face this dilemma at some point or another in their lives. On the other hand, it also tries to turn our view to the AIDS. For viewers of the movie, the meaningful question is not whether they sympathize with Tom Hanks' AIDS-afflicted, but whether that sympathy opens up a different perspective on the victims of the disease in the real world. We should ask several questions to our selves: Should the social outcast have the unfair treatment? What the Public opinions to AIDS? Will any sex orientation of the people be accepted by society? No matter what he is, he has the right to live on happily. That’s what I learn from “Philadelphia”. when I see the light. I know I'll be all right. Philadelphia.

Tess(苔丝)1979经典电影英文影评

Tess(苔丝)1979 Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland. Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name. Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec. Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish. Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of the land and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully. Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble. 1
