你对美国电影的认识--影视批评
谈谈我对美国电影的认识
影视批评
美国电影是美国文化的主要组成部分。它是伴随着美国文化的成长与发展而成长与发展
的。它生动地体现了美国思想与美国这一民族和文化的许多特点。它顺应了美国人热闹好动
的天性和积极进取的人格，同时，也表现了美国人的乐观处世的精神和人性。美国电影在注重商业性和票房价值的同时，在追求大众趣味，平易近人，通俗易懂的同时,仍然非常关注社会与现实的，非常关注艺术的。对美国生活作了诗意的描写，动作迅猛，对话简洁，表演干脆利落，不拖泥带水，也表现了传统的好莱坞娱乐片的特点。
后现代电影的主要特点是什么呢？
1. 电影事业的组织体系具有后现代的特点。好莱坞经历了从福特式的大生产（电影制
片厂体系）到更为灵活的独立电影制作体系（新好莱坞和后新好莱坞时期），独立电影制作
体系具有后现代经济的特点。同时，好莱坞融入多元的媒体大集团公司使工业、技术、和文
化形式之间的界限模糊，这也是后现代的一大特点。
2. 电影在许多方面表现后现代的主题和后现代社会的形象。当代科幻片表现那些糟透
了的社会形象，这是与后现代对社会进步失去信心的思想有关。3. 电影表现与后现代文化实践有关的美学特征（如折衷主义和传统的艺术阶梯的丧
失）。
黑色电影(film noir)在50年代派生出“反叛的青年”电影，深刻地反映了美国青年人在50年代的文化情绪，成为60年代的民权运动、青年的反叛和妇女解放运动的先锋。美国社会充斥的叛逆，对传统和主流文化价值的叛逆不可避免地影响到电影。美国60年代的电影以多元化和试验性为特征，电影的发展势头很好，充满了活力。电影中裸露的镜头增多,有不少明显的性爱镜头，这对于年轻的观众是有很大的诱惑力的。在60年代中期，美国电影变得更为自由放任。保守主义让位于流行文化。新的现代风格在电影中得到充分体现。当时，生活条件和民权方面平等的呼声日益高涨，特别是黑人和拉丁裔美国人要求平等的愿望特别迫切。这些年轻人和少数族裔的亚文化变得越来越有力量，震撼了WASP美国的主流价值。为了适应这种情势，好莱坞拍了描述年轻人叛逆的电影，描述代沟、紧张的种族关系、吸毒和挑战有关性爱禁区的电影。好莱坞的匪帮片揭示美国的经济与道德状况。美国人大量失业并陷于贫困。社会秩序混乱，在社会底层滋生了暴力的种子。观众正是出于对现有体制的不满情绪，对那些用子弹来解决社会与道德问题的歹徒怀有敬佩之情。匪帮片充满了硬汉子和暴力，通过揭示犯罪行为的原因，并显示罪恶的性格往往是糟糕的经济状况、家庭环境和冷漠的无能的政府造成的。这些无情无义的反英
雄，厌腻无聊的生活，一般都来自小镇，不断地竭力躲避法律的制裁，生活在道德的真空之中。在这些电影中，导演试图嘲弄与揶揄美国社会，表现正发生在美国的道德衰落。
综上观之，在反映社会的问题上，美国电影有其本身的特点：
1. 在大部分情况下，它们并不是刻意表现社会现实；
2. 在表现社会现实的主题中，每每关注社会阴暗面和暴力。通过暴力反映底层人民的
生活状态，反映资本主义社会的冷酷；
3. 暴露与商业价值（票房）共存，从来不是为了暴露而暴露，带有纯政治性的目的；
商业性与艺术性是平衡的；
4. 大投资，追求巨片效果，场面宏大壮观，充满动作和戏剧性；
5. 它的终极目的是通俗性，取悦于最广大的电影观众的趣味和爱好，因此充满新奇，
不拒绝高科技手段。无论时代怎么演变，通俗性始终是美国电影的信条。通俗性始终优于艺
术性；
6. 在表现现实的过程中，它们从来没有忘记所谓的“成人语言”，用性自由来表现美国
的个人主义的文化价值。
总之，无论主流电影还是非主流电影，其精英部分自20世纪中期之后在欧洲电影新现
实主义和新浪潮的影响与启迪下，开始关注美国社会现实，用他们独特的艺术的方法对美国
所处的战后时代作出回应。这些作品，无论是反叛的，黑色的，还是地下独立制作的，都不
同程度地反映了后现代社会的焦虑情绪。无论从思想上还是从艺术上讲，它们无愧当代美国
电影的精华。

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
十大经典励志电影
十大经典励志电影 十大经典励志电影从小到大都非常喜欢励志电影，喜欢它那种令人每次看过，都会觉得"生命满希望，前路由我创"的兴奋感觉。把我喜欢的一些励志电影推荐给大家，希望大家都能从这些影片中得到一些感悟。 1、《肖申克的救赎》 很喜欢安迪放MOZART的《费加罗的婚礼》那段，圣洁高亢的女高音穿云裂帛久被牢牢禁锢的人们呆住了。他们可能不知这是什么音乐，可是对美的感觉，对自由的渴望 ，每个人都是一样。人们抬头望着碧蓝无垠的天空，美好的情愫随美妙的音韵四处飘荡，镜头缓缓升起，摇过，芸芸众生就在广场上抬头仰望，那么专注，那么深情，没有十恶不赦的罪犯，没有暴虐无行的狱警，人们复归平等与和睦，人们找到生命的生存的极至和本源。虽然好莱坞化，我喜欢对人性的探究，人性的张扬。安迪沉醉了，安迪忘记了自己私放音乐的危险。他幸福地在典狱长的椅子上闭目静听。后来，他被关了两个星期的独囚。可是这感觉，永留囚徒与观者的心中。JIMROBINS，可爱的大孩子形象。 现代版本的《基督山伯爵》，曾经一度成为我最大的精神支柱。这部1995年拍摄的片子，无论从各方面讲都是经典中的经典，情节的紧凑，主题的深刻，演员的阵容，音 乐的配合，所以获得了8项奥斯卡提名，更成为影迷心中的励志经典。当安迪在雷电风雨交加的夜晚爬出监狱下水道和排泄管后，脱去衣衫，伸出双臂去拥抱自由的风雨的时候，相信观众都有些热血沸腾吧。2、《阿甘正传》 美国近代史的缩影。无需多言的经典，也是当年《肖申克的救赎》的强劲对手。"人生就象一盒巧克力......"经典的台词。 3、《勇敢的心》 史诗般的片子，主题深沉凝重却又不失轻快，场面宏大，视觉和音乐效果一流，优美流畅。虽然最后结局令人遗憾，但其悲壮程度足可以感染所有的观众。 "自由！"梅尔吉普森林行刑前的呐喊，至今响彻在耳边。 4、《美丽心灵》 影评人说"2000年的奥斯卡最佳影片给了《美丽心灵》而不是《指环王》，证明奥斯卡还没有堕落。" 学过经济学的人都知道，什么叫做"那什均衡"。该剧就是根据经济学家那什 的真人真事改编，一个80岁时凭自己20岁的理论获得诺贝尔经济学奖的人。一个伟大的学者，一个生活的强者，一辈子都在和自己严重的幻想症做斗争。 5、《百万美元宝贝》 对于整个电影，正如导演伊斯特伍德所说，"这不是一个关于拳击的故事，而是关于希望、梦想和爱的故事"，看过这部电影，相信大家就会知道今年奥斯卡典礼上的大获全胜真的是实至名归。 6、《心灵捕手》 一部好的电影总是能在不经意间将你打动，或者说，一部好的电影是需要慢慢欣赏和体味的，《骄阳似我》并没有花费太多时间在展示威尔如何天资聪颖上，而是把笔墨主要放在了桑恩教授与威尔从最初的略显敌对到慢慢了解，直至帮助他找寻到了自己人生目标的过程。影片牵涉甚广，爱情、友情、均有提及，正如一杯浓郁的黑咖啡，只有细细品尝，方能享受到其中的浓浓香味! 7、《黑暗中的舞者》 一部震撼心灵的影片，具有深渊一般的穿透力，歌舞片中少有的经典。现实与理想，执著与信念，主题深刻的让人窒息。DANCERINTHEDARK！唯美而质朴的伟大赞美诗！ 8、《喜剧之王》 所有周星驰的影片中，最喜欢的一部。小人物的辛酸历程，周星驰自己的真实的写照。 "如果人活着没有理想，那么和咸鱼有什么分别？" ~~~~这是我最喜欢的一部电影，大家一定要看看啊~~~~！！
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

世界十大卡通人物形象
世界十大卡通人物形象 三毛 出生在多灾多难的1935年！“母亲”是中国现代漫画先驱张乐平先生。他是迄今为止中国仅有的能够拿得出手、去和人家相提并论的国产卡通形象。他是一段历史的痛苦记忆，他属于那个与我们已经遥远隔膜的黑暗年代，尽管相距只有半个多世纪。但他并不仅仅属于中国，他让人在联想到祖辈们曾经经历的贫穷和苦难之外，还联想到非洲干旱地区目光里满是渴求的瘦弱儿童。可惜，张先生衣钵无传，又缺乏成熟的商业性支持和操作，三毛只能成为研究者手中失去灵性的木乃伊。 米老鼠 1928年由美国娱乐业大腕儿沃儿特。迪斯尼创造。没有人能真正说得清他的性格，因为它秉性不一，不断变化。但它肯定是成功的，仅看满世界都是印有米老鼠形象的商品便足以证明。他起初只是以一个斗士的角色而出现，影响也仅限于美国，但当它淡化斗士身份而以一个可爱的老鼠形象出现时，却满脸稚气地占领了全世界。米老鼠如今已成为一个象征，成为美国的文化使者，它让人想到迪斯尼乐园，想到好莱坞，想到肯德基快餐，想到可口可乐，想到满世界乱飞、到处插手的美国国务卿。 唐老鸭 1934年由迪斯尼公司隆重推出。他是集体智慧的结晶，但并没有集中众人的优点，反而集众人人格缺陷之大成：脾气暴躁，反复无常，遇事大惊小怪，还喜欢捉弄人，尤其是处于劣势的晚辈或弱者，无事生非，但聪明反被聪明误，到最后还是被人家给耍了，就象中国古代小说《西游记》中的猪八戒。可惜吴承恩老先生生不逢时，如果让他再晚生几百年，又恰好出生在美国，投到迪斯尼老板的手下，也许我们看到的将会是猪八戒而不是唐老鸭。当然，那也是人家美国满口英语的猪八戒。 超人 1938年由杰罗姆·赛格和乔·舒斯特合作创造。外貌英俊潇洒的超人身上体现着典型的美国佬性格，但或许更多的只是一种永远无法实现的梦想：雄心勃勃，高度自信，拯救万物，不屈不挠和多管闲事，还有那种掩饰不住的优越感。看着这种卡通故事长大的美国人在当今世界上也正是这副德行，他们喜欢以世界警察自居，到处指手画脚。正象中国有句俗语所说的：三岁看老，由卡通人物也可以读出美国人的秉性。
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

The Pursuit of Happiness(当幸福来敲门)经典电影英文影评
The Pursuit of Happiness（当幸福来敲门）2006 With a title like The Pursuit of Happiness, you expect the characters to get to the promised land. They do, but if the journey matters more than the destination, this is a movie to skip. The Pursuit of Happyness is long, dull, and depressing. It expands into two hours a story that could have been told more effectively in one. This is not the feel-good movie of the season unless you believe that a few moments of good cheer can redeem 110 minutes of gloom. Sitting through The Pursuit of Happiness is a chore. Downbeat movies aren't inherently bad (in fact, many are powerful), but this one provides artificial characters in contrived circumstances. How is it that movies "inspired by a real story" often feel more fake than those fully embedded in the realm of fiction? Will Smith has generated Oscar buzz for his portrayal of Chris Gardner, the real-life guy whose rags-to-riches story forms the basis of the movie. (Impoverished guy becomes capitalist poster boy.) While it's fair to say that this is one of the best straight performances of Smith's career, it didn't blow me away. In and of itself, the acting, while effective, is not Best Actor material, but it wouldn't surprise me if the movie's prestige factor and Smith's popularity earn him a nod. Meanwhile, his female co-star, Thandie Newton, isn't going to be considered for any award. Newton spends about 90% of her screen time doing an impersonation of a harpy: screeching, bitching, and contorting her face into unpleasant expressions. Smith's son, Jaden, is okay as the movie's child protagonist; it's unclear whether his occasional deficiencies are the result of his acting, Steven Conrad's writing, or Gabriele Muccino's direction, but there's not much personality behind the cute features and curly hair. Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is down on his luck. It's 1981 San Francisco and his self-employed business of selling portable bone density scanners isn't doing well. His wife, Linda (Thandie Newton), does nothing but yell at him and give him a cold shoulder, and the lack of domestic harmony is impacting the disposition of his beloved son, Christopher (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith). That's when Chris' life turns into a country song. His wife leaves. He is evicted from his home. He goes to jail, neither passing GO nor collecting a much-needed $200. He gets hit by a car. He is robbed. He makes his son cry. He alienates a friend over $14. He gets to spend a night in the cleanest public restroom in the history of public restrooms. But there's a bright spot, although you need a dark-adapted eye to find it. Despite having no experience, Chris applies to enter an internship program at Dean Witter. He would appear to have no chance to get in until he amazes the head of the program (Brian Howe) by solving the Rubik's Cube puzzle in the back of a taxi cab. It's a blessing that the movie doesn't use a stock villain to impede Chris' herky-jerky trip to the top, because that would have tipped the movie into the empire of the unwatchable. However, the lack of a strong conflict makes the two-hour running length seem very long. Thankfully, there's also not much in the way of overt melodrama, but that could be a byproduct of having characters who are not deeply realized and have narrow emotional ranges. It's tough to connect with Chris and his son. Although they are played by a real-life father and son, there's no chemistry between them. We're constantly told how desperately Chris loves Christopher, but it takes a long time before we begin to buy it. Most of the time, Christopher seems like an annoying piece of baggage that Chris drops off at daycare when he has other things to do. The film's most compelling scenes are those that show Chris struggling to enter the rat race. Granted, this is no Glengarry Glen Ross, but it shows the pressure these salesmen are under and how important the contact lists are. In the overall scheme of things, however, these sequences are background noise. They are neither plentiful nor lengthy. The movie spends more time following Chris on his futile sales rounds for the bone density scanner than it does accompanying him during his broker training. The moral of the story is as trite as they come: don't let anyone convince you to give up on your dreams. Disney animated films have been doing this better for decades. The Pursuit of Happyness concludes with a caption that tells us what happens to Chris after the end of the movie; it promises a better story than the one we have just watched. The film is also marred by a persistent (although not verbose) voiceover that adds nothing to the story while frequently jerking us out of the experience of watching it. I don't need Will Smith telling me: "This part of the story is called 'riding the bus.'" This is the English-language debut of Gabriele Muccino, who has made a name for himself in Italian cinema. The Pursuit of Happiness has the kind of slow, drab tone one occasionally associates with a director raised outside of the Hollywood system. What can be an asset in some circumstances is a detriment in this one. The Pursuit of Happiness isn't enjoyable, and its meager pleasures, including the eventual "payoff," aren't enough to justify the unrelenting misery. The Pursuit of Happiness is competently made and gets lots of the details right, but when it comes to the emotional core of the story, it loses the pursuit and misses the "happiness."
