西方影视赏析
《拯救爱情40天》评论
091714113 李滴滴
学了这么多年的英语，一直都觉得学习英语就是记单词、读书、背书，考试就是不停做卷子，应付高考不知道做了多少份英语试卷，然后就是接下来的四六级，知道这学期上了西方影视赏析课，才颠覆了我这个在我思想里禁锢了多年的学习方法。
老师说的每一句话都抨击着我们的思想，都很有道理。
以前对英语是又厌倦又害怕又不得不学，可是现在，对它开始感兴趣了，我一直相信兴趣是最好的老师，通过看外国小说外国电影来提高自己的英语水平，在娱乐中学习，可以达到更好的效果。
一直喜欢看外国电影，特别是欧美的电影，每次看完一部电影，总是能给人一些特别的感受，无论是喜剧还是悲剧，也许这就是老师所说过的他们的电影写实，与现实生活很贴近，把社会中不好的一面也很自然的表现出来，而这是中国电影忌讳的，虽然语言上没有看中国电影那么简单，但是语言并不是障碍，把它看成一种方言，尝试着去模仿，去开口说。
虽然我还不能开口说很流利的英语，但是至少我却不再害怕它了，至少我有信心了。
《拯救爱情40天》是一部很现实的现代爱情电影，整个故事都很平淡，可是就是这么平淡的故事打动着我们每一个观众。
科勒伯·霍尔特是一名消防员，出入火海毫不畏惧，而且时刻把消防员的格言铭记于心——绝不把同伴落在后面。
在一次次的火灾现场，出生入死的科勒伯拯救出一个又一个陌生人的生命，勇敢的他被授予“英雄”的称号。
在事业上，科勒伯绝对是一个响当当的男子汉，可是在家庭上，我行我素的科勒伯却甚少关注妻子凯瑟琳的感受，两人七年的婚姻岌岌可危。
成为一名消防员的妻子是凯瑟琳从小的梦想，她的爸爸曾经就是一名勇敢的消防员。
凯瑟琳遇上科勒伯之后，两人也拥有过甜蜜温馨的美好时光，步入结婚殿堂的他们也憧憬着共渡幸福的余生。
可是随着生活琐事和压力的不断增加，两人经常为工作、财政，家务等问题争吵不休，彼此之间的距离越来越遥远，凯瑟琳甚至希望自己从来没有结过婚。
无法沟通和理解的科勒伯和凯瑟琳，做出了离婚的决定。
得知这一消息的科勒伯的父亲找到了儿子，要求儿子把离婚日期推迟四十天，并接受一个名为“挑战爱情”的实验。
在这四十天，科勒
伯要尝试去理解妻子的想法，试着去挽救这段婚姻。
虽然科勒伯心里不愿意，但为了父亲还是答应了这个挑战。
谨遵诺言的科勒伯，按照自己的想法去挽回凯瑟琳的心，可是不管科勒伯再怎么努力，凯瑟琳依然不为所动。
气馁的科勒伯不知道该如何坚持下去，父亲却告诉他这都是上帝的考验，而神的旨意就蕴涵其中。
在上帝冥冥之中的帮助下，科勒伯开始明白妻子所要的爱到底是什么，但这份醒悟会不会来得太迟了呢？拯救了无数陌生人生命的消防员科勒伯，这次要面对的是前所未有的高难度挑战，他必须重新挽救回已经死了心的妻子，挽救回他们付之一炬的婚姻。
从开始的被动到后来的主动再到最后的努力，科勒伯的整个变化过程我们都亲眼目睹了一段破碎的婚姻再次愈合。
深深的被她们的爱情感动，不由得让我想起了一句话，“相爱容易，相处难”，整个故事中他们也并没有什么很严重的矛盾，主要是他们还没有找到作为一个妻子、或一个丈夫这个角色应该具备的责任和义务，他们还在独自过着自己的生活。
这不由得让我想到我以后的爱情，真的让人有一种豁然开朗的感受。
通过这部电影，我觉得不管是在婚姻还是在其他的任何关系中，作为儿女、父母、朋友，我们都应该学着站在别人的角度来思考问题。
这是这部电影带给我的最大感触。
通过这部电影，我学到的不一定是英语这门语言，我觉得更多的是中西方的文化，记得有人告诉我“西方文化与东方文化存在很大差异，在学习过程中要认真体会，不要为了学英语而学英语，忽视了自己英语文化修养的培养。
”所以，我每次看电影都会将西方文化作为我学习的一部分，这部电影最能体会这种文化差异的还是男女平等问题以及西方文化的开放程度，总觉得经过这种对西方文化的学习，自己的思想或多或少的会受到一些影响。
在选择电影时，我们真的没有必要选择那些所谓的大片，对我而言，我恰恰相反，我不是很喜欢看欧美那些科幻大片，虽然它给人很大的视觉冲突，可是我觉得我追求的并不是那些场面，我喜欢的是那种能够给我心灵感悟的东西，所以我觉得选择适合自己的才是最重要的，自己喜欢是最重要的。
我们并没有很多时间看电影，所以我学着听电影，在睡觉前或者睡觉醒来后或者路上，我会听一些电影的对白来听，有时候越听越有感觉，对于一部电影，我会重复重复，经过将近半学期的这些听和看，我觉得六级听力真的没有那么难了，虽然不能做的全对，但是相对第一次六级考试听力确实有很大的提高。
“好记性不如烂笔头”，这是我学习英语一直信奉的，虽然我不再死记单词了，可是我还是觉得这句话在学习英语的过程中是个真理。
看一部电影不是看完就完了的，那样还只是娱乐，而并没有达到真正的学习的效果，要想通过看电影听电影看小说的方法学习英语，记笔记是很重要的一部分，小到一个单词，再到简单的一句话，经典的句子，或者是俚语，这些都是需要被记下来的，不过千万不要记下来就完了，一定要学以致用。
这部电影中就有很多很好的句子，例如：I realized that it was not my marriage that was broken, I just didn't know how to make it我发现不是我的婚姻破碎，是我根本不懂如何维持婚姻。
由于水平有限，所以我选择的是中英文双字幕，这种中英文双字幕对我们这种学习英语的人来说帮助很大，从词到句子，从语法到翻译，都很大程度上的减少了一些不必要的麻烦。
“Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our hearts.虽然爱的沟通方式有很多，我们的言辞却往往反映出我们的心态”“And do not just follow your heart, man, because your heart can be deceived. But you gotta lead your heart.不要只跟着你的心走，因为你的心是会被欺骗的。
你要带领你的心。
”这样经典的句子太多太多，我觉得只要将这一部电影弄懂了，哪怕花上一定的时间也是值得的，我不推崇博而不专，只要能够好好的将这么一部电影弄透彻，我们在英语学习上就会有意想不到的收获，顶的过我们看上几十部电影。
老师上课时经常说的几句话让我一直铭记在心，他说：“自己掌握的单词，词组已经有几千个了，但是一遇到说英语的时候仍然不知如何开口，这是由于你们平时都是在立的记单词，根本没有对所学单词进行组装，看电影学英语可以通过剧情及影像强化单词和词组在我们脑子里的印象，让我们在不知不觉中开始把我们积累的单词组装成漂亮的句子。
”
这些就是我在看了这部电影之后的感受，同时分享一下这学期我学习英语的方法。
外国经典影视鉴赏
外国经典影视鉴赏“膜片时代”“默片”就是无声电影。
早期电影只有画面，影片本身没有声音，只有背景音乐。
剧中人通过动作、表情，让观众了解剧情，有点像哑剧。
必要时，会插入一些字幕来帮助观众理解人物想说什么。
卓别林的《大马戏团》电影的起源：1895年12月28日卢米埃尔兄弟在巴黎卡布辛大街14好咖啡厅放映的一分钟短片：《火车进站》《园丁浇水》《工厂大门》《婴儿喝汤》不是美国的爱迪生电影分为;商业电影艺术电影《爱德华大夫》又名《意乱情迷》，美国好莱坞早期黑白影片，由著名悬疑大师希区柯克执导，大明星英格丽·褒曼和格利高里·派克主演，1944年制作完成，1945年上映。
这是一个有关心理分析的惊险故事，是电影史上第一批以精神分析学为主题的影片之一，上映后曾引起很大的争议，但这不妨碍它成为四十年代的经典影片之一，它对后来的精神分析影片产生了深远的影响。
该片获得了第十八届奥斯卡最佳戏剧片和最佳原创音乐奖。
影片开始是寒风中凋零的树枝，一句莎士比亚和一段关于心理分析的语句似乎表明了这将是一个贯彻弗洛伊德理论的戏剧故事。
剧情：一个最普通不过的弗洛伊德病例引出了影片的女主人公，精神病院的心理大夫彼特森，这是个专心学术的美女。
这所医院原来由莫奇森医生主管，将要由医学界著名的爱德华大夫接手，彼特森就是爱德华的崇拜者之一。
新来的爱德华大夫虽然英俊不凡，但似乎太年轻了点，他和彼特森很快产生了彼此爱慕之情。
但彼特森很快发现，他其实并不是爱德华大夫，而是一个被某些可怕的事困扰的失忆症病人约翰·布朗，而第二天赶来的爱德华的秘书更使他背上了谋杀爱德华的罪名。
彼特森找到逃走的约翰，试图用精神分析法帮他回忆起隐藏在记忆深处的真相。
警察的追捕，让两个人来到彼特森老师阿利克森的家中，和蔼善良的老人收留了他们，并帮彼特森一起治疗约翰·布朗。
经过诱导，约翰·布朗说出了自己的梦境，师徒两人分析出谋杀发生在爱德华与他滑雪的时候。
西方影视赏析期末总结
西方影视赏析期末总结在这个电影高度发达的时代，西方影视作品无疑是观众们的首选之一。
它们通过各种不同的题材和创作方法，逐渐引发了观众们的关注和热爱。
在这个期末总结中，我将对几部西方影视作品进行赏析，包括《肖申克的救赎》、《教父》、《阿甘正传》和《波西米亚狂想曲》。
首先，我想聊聊《肖申克的救赎》。
这部电影改编自斯蒂芬·金的同名小说，由导演弗兰克·达拉邦特执导。
它讲述了一位银行家安迪·杜弗伦在被错误判罪进入肖申克监狱后，如何通过智慧和勇气改变了自己和其他犯人的命运。
影片的画面表现精美，剧情紧凑，主题深邃，给人留下了深刻的印象。
尤其是其中的友谊、希望和自由的主题，让观众们陷入了思考和感悟。
接下来，我想谈谈《教父》。
这是由导演弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉执导的一部经典黑帮电影。
它根据马里奥·普佐的同名小说改编而来，讲述了一位意大利移民唐·维托·柯里昂如何成为了黑帮家族科里昂家族的教父一职，并通过暴力和权谋来维护家族利益的故事。
这部电影以其独特的叙事方式、深度的角色塑造和卓越的演技，成为了电影史上的经典之作。
它通过讲述黑帮家族内部的权力斗争和矛盾，反映了人性的黑暗面和无尽的欲望。
另一部我想探讨的作品是《阿甘正传》。
这是一部由导演罗伯特·泽米吉斯执导的剧情片。
它以阿甘这个智商不足但心地善良的男主角为中心，通过他的视角展示了美国历史中的一系列重要事件，包括越战、艾滋病疫情和宇航员登月等。
影片通过阿甘的纯真和乐观，呈现了一个温暖、感人的故事，让观众们在喜怒哀乐中感受到了人性的美好之处。
最后，我要提及的是《波西米亚狂想曲》。
这是一部由导演布莱恩·辛格执导的传记电影，讲述了英国摇滚乐队皇后乐队主唱弗雷迪·默丘里的一生。
影片以弗雷迪·默丘里的音乐才华和个人经历为背景，展现了他从默默无闻到成为音乐界传奇人物的艰辛历程。

东、西方电影艺术鉴赏
东、西方电影艺术鉴赏潇潇著评鉴一种艺术不应从个人的喜好出发，这样做的目的是站在一个中立的角度看待问题，也容易在辨证看待问题的时候，既不左，也不右。
不左不右，谓之中庸。
从老子开始说，就有点扯远了，还是回到电影上来吧。
但是，我还是以个人的喜好出发来评鉴电影吧，因为，毕竟是我的作品，我有权决定我作品的出发点以及全文的基调。
一、东方电影（一）大陆电影电影的分类有很多种，我先按照地域的不同形成的不同的电影文化对电影进行分类。
至于电影的其他分类，请大家百度。
先说大陆电影。
先说导演。
大陆的这几个所谓知名的导演我都不喜欢。
不是因为别的，其拍出来的电影，实在是看不出来主题。
就像打官司，怎么分析都分析不出来矛盾的焦点，这还叫纠纷么？一部电影，怎么看都看不出来电影的主题，这还叫电影么？一部成功的电影，至少要突出一个主题，要么反映真善美，要么反映假恶丑，什么都反映不出来，不能称之为成功的电影。
大陆导演拍的新片，我基本不看。
大陆电影基本上是没有主题的，我认为，凤毛麟角的，有主题的电影，当属陆川的《可可西里》，这部片我没敢看，据说无论是动物还是人类，都十分惨烈。
但是这至少反映了一个主题，保护动物。
我们不需要反复的说三皇五帝的故事，也不愿回首近现代史上弱小的中国有那么为数不多的几个大家族的爱恨情仇，国民的欣赏水平已经提高了，现在需要的是，反映人性光辉的，感人至深的电影。
说完导演再说说演员。
演员都混个脸熟，但是可塑性强的演员并不多。
一个演员要能演多个角色，而且每个角色都要刻画的入木三分。
经过我仔细甄别，能做到这一点的演员，男的当属孙红雷，当之无愧。
女的当属蒋勤勤，但是需要她的下一部作品对她进行进一步的评价。
（二）港澳台电影同胞们的电影，近几年有点退步。
我好几年没关注了。
就印象说说吧。
导演没有太出色的，演员嘛，帅哥靓妹比较多，但是演技平平的也是一堆一堆的。
《三岔口》的导演还不错，不过好像是个日本人，这里不做评价。
演员嘛，男的，刘德凯还行，毕竟关注他十多年了，他还没让我失望过。
中西方影视文化比较
中西方影视文化比较首先，中西方影视文化在题材上存在差异。
西方影视作品通常更加注重个人和家庭的情感和心理，讲述人和社会之间的关系，如《泰坦尼克号》、《阿甘正传》等。
而中国的影视作品更加注重社会现象和历史事件的揭示，如《霸王别姬》、《活着》等。
此外，西方影视作品还更加关注个人英雄主义和个人追求，而中国影视作品更加强调社会责任和道德伦理。
其次，在表现手法上，中西方影视文化也存在差异。
西方影视作品更加开放和自由，不拘泥于传统的叙事结构和表现手法，常常运用非线性叙事、跳跃剪辑等手法。
而中国影视作品则更注重传统的叙事方式和叙事结构，讲究情节的连贯性和逻辑性。
此外，西方影视作品还更加注重视觉效果和特技，如《星际迷航》系列、《X战警》系列等，而中国影视作品则更注重思想性和文化内涵，尤其是在历史剧和文艺片中。
第三，中西方影视文化在观众群体上也有差异。
西方影视作品更加面向全球观众，其中大部分作品是以英语拍摄和发行的，具有国际化的特点。
而中国影视作品则主要面向国内观众，更注重本土传统文化和价值观的表达。
此外，由于西方影视作品在技术和投资上更加发达，其制作规模和视觉效果也更为出色，这使得其在世界范围内具有很高的影响力。
最后，中西方影视文化在产业发展上也存在差异。
西方影视产业完善并发达，具有独立于政府的市场导向，涵盖了电影制作、发行、营销和影院运营等方面，形成了完整的产业链。
而中国影视产业在开放后得到了迅速发展，但还存在政府干预过多、市场竞争不充分等问题，尚未完全形成一个有机的产业体系。
综上所述，中西方影视文化在题材、表现手法、观众群体和产业发展等方面存在差异。
这些差异是由于不同国家和地区的历史、文化、价值观和审美观念的差异所导致的。
因此，了解和欣赏不同的影视文化可以增进不同国家和地区之间的了解和友谊，丰富自己的艺术鉴赏能力。
西方影视艺术赏析总结
西方影视艺术赏析总结姓名：郑xx 学号：2009050431xx系别：管理系专业：房地产经营与估价西方电影是西方文化的博物馆，也是一座光影声色的迷宫。
如果您走进了西方电影的片库，扑面而来的印象一定是片目繁浩、纷红骇绿。
在这座鱼龙混杂、光怪陆离、似梦非梦的迷宫中，就需要有人插上一些标识……其中我看过的最喜欢的电影有《肖申克的救赎》、《罗马假日》、《2012》、《简爱》、《埃及艳后》等。
下面我就详细介绍下《肖申克的救赎》这部电影：关于《肖申克的救赎》，未看这部片子之前，听朋友说这片子是《越狱》的电影版，看完后，感触颇深。
我想，如果说《越狱》是对生的渴望，那《肖申克的救赎》更多的便是对生的思考了。
我想，朋友所认为的这部片子与《越狱》的关系，只是因为两者都是以越狱为主题罢。
只是，作为两个多小时时长的电影，注定它给人咀嚼的蕴味要深刻得多，《越狱》是上学期看的连续剧，印象中，那时候对社会这个无形的监狱感触很大。
有形的监狱与无形的监狱，到底哪个才能让人找到安全的归宿？在《肖申克的救赎》这部片子里，仿佛已找到了答案。
当在监狱里生活了50年的博斯获假释时，面对陌生的世界，他惶恐迷茫，“我不喜欢这地方，它令我太焦累”——世界变化得直快，或许，监狱才能给人一种安全？对于监狱，“开始，你恨它们；接着，你适应了它们；日子久了，你开始依赖它们。
”博斯最终选择了解脱，当看到他上吊时画面固定了的那一幕，留给生的人又是怎样的一种思考与无奈呢？“不再有痛苦的感觉了”——这是他离别前最后一句的感恩。
或许，就像瑞德说的——“他应该死在这里（监狱）”。
影史上真正的无冕之王!如果一个人一生只看一部电影的话，那就应该看《肖申克的救赎》。
人人都知道，知识改变命运。
其实，电影更能改变人的命运，特别是陷入低潮中的人，《肖申克的救赎》公认是史上最能改变一个人的电影，没有谁能否认这一点。
我们每个人一生都会面临许多无奈和困难，甚至是突如其来的灾难。
面对无法自控的现实，我们应该怎样面对这个真实的世界？我们要以怎样的姿态活下去呢？肖申克的救赎给了我们答案，让芸芸众生看到了一个真实的人一些真切的举动，给我们力量和勇气。
西方文化影视鉴赏
从《特洛伊》中看美国文化中的个人英雄主义公元前1200年，在那个人神共存的时代，那个崇尚武力的冷兵器时代，浩浩荡荡的战争气势扑面而来。
有人为正义而战，有人为和平而战，有人为一己之怨而战，有人为爱情而战，有人为权利而战，有人为私欲而战，特洛伊充斥着战争的喧嚣，特洛伊弥漫着战争的苍茫，也沐浴着英雄的荡气回肠。
战争終会结束，英雄注定要湮灭，青春会逝去，梦想会幻灭，爱情会消散，但是，英雄们的精神必将横贯历史，泽被古今。
英雄的人永远有着自己的执着而高贵的追求，在平凡中显现出伟大。
阿基里斯追求英雄的荣誉，他生存的唯一目的就是为了战争中的荣誉。
他要留名，他要成为最伟大的英雄，让千年后的人们依然传诵他的传说。
正如他自己说的：我不是为某一个人而站，我是为了全希腊，我是为了希腊的战士和他们的妻儿而战。
尽管他明白，无论英雄还是凡人都将湮没于历史，他还是敢于抛开外界的束缚追求自己的信仰。
出征前，母亲文预言，他将因战争而名垂千古，也会因战争失去生命，但他无畏的选择了战斗。
然而，令他没想到的是，他在战火中寻觅到属于自己的爱情，当英雄的梦想与凡人的爱情不可兼得时，他放弃了一生的最高追求，选择了飘渺但高贵的爱情。
这种追求的抉择让平凡的爱情焕发出耀眼的光芒，也显示出他的英雄气概。
赫克托尔一生追求完美。
他让他的士兵明白一个男人的尊严：维护自己的荣誉，爱护自己的妻儿，保卫自己的国家。
做个简单的男人，是那个时候多么难以实现的梦想！尽管他鄙视弟弟的怯懦，可是作为兄长他承担了罪责；而在误杀阿咯琉斯的堂弟后，他坦然地接受挑战，走向死亡。
当特洛伊城被希腊联军包围的时候，他毅然代替年迈的父王指挥军队，担起了保卫家园的重任。
即便妻子请求他留在家里不要参加战斗，也被他委婉地拒绝了。
一个已经习惯了在最前线作战的英雄，当他安排好唯一挂念的妻儿的退路以后，毅然决然地接受了阿喀琉斯的决斗。
这是一场悲壮的战斗，这是两个名副其实的英雄之间的决斗，赫克托耳虽然在这场决斗中死去，可是他英气的面庞永远留在了特洛伊民众的心里。

西方电影赏析论文
吉林财经大学西方电影赏析论文黑色电影人物形象研究学院：税务学院专业班级：财政学1579姓名：杜勐学号：010*******指导教师：胡泊2016年6月22日摘要：论文简单的介绍了黑色电影的特点，定义。
主要分析了几个电影中的人物形象。
主要说明了电影调子阴郁、情绪悲观、表现愤世嫉俗和人性危机。
关键词：调子阴郁、情绪悲观、愤世嫉俗、人性危机黑色电影简介：黑色电影是电影界用语，多指好莱坞侦探片，特别是强调善恶划分不明确的道德观与来自于性的动机的题材。
黑色主要用来描述该类风格晦暗、悲观且愤世嫉俗的此类型电影，这类电影通常将背景放在犯罪舞弊丛生的底层社会，充斥着被过去羁绊，对未来欠缺安全感正邪角色的无法自拔。
黑色电影特点：1．黑夜的场面特别多，无论是内景或外景，总给人以阴森可怖、前途莫测。
有危机感；2．采用德国表现主义的摄影风格，以古怪的深影和阴沉的影调来造成一个梦魇世界的幻觉；3．主人公往往是道德上具有双重人格、对周围世界充满敌意、失望孤独、最后在死亡中找到归宿的叛逆人物；4．惯常采用倒叙法或第一人称叙述法作为描写心理的手段。
因此，黑色影片可以说是美国的暴力题材、德国表现主义的摄影风格和法国存在主义思想的结合体。
黑色电影定义：最早经典黑色电影的五点定义包括梦幻般的，奇怪的，性欲的，爱恨或善恶交织发生予盾的，以及残酷的，但是这种定义又被认为太简化了，不能定义黑色电影。
城市背景、黑夜、低光源照明、阴影、尤其是经由百叶窗或是缓慢的电扇投射所造成的阴影、下雨、私家侦探、俱有致命吸引力的(美丽又危险)女主角、烟雾弥漫、摄影机的位置较低，男主角的独白等等皆是古典黑色电影的特征，这些手法产生一种虚无、悲观、与颓废的气氛。
黑色电影中有许多电影类型，如黑帮电影，警察电影，社会问题电影等，并且运用许多传统与非传统的视觉效果。
有许多影评人认为黑色电影本身是一种电影类型，也有许多人认为根本没这回事。
黑色电影常常是发生在都市里的，但是有时黑色电影以小城、市郊、荒野、甚至公路为背景，就好像西部片不一定发生在西部一样。

Chapter one The emergency of the cinema as an institution1.1 What is film?● A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still or moving images. It isproduced by recording photographic images with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. The process of filmmaking has developed into an art form and industry.●Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and,in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating –or indoctrinating –citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication.●The cinema, wrote the documentarist Paul Rotha in the 1930s, 'is the great unresolvedequation between art and industry'.New Words●moving pictures/motion pictures, film, movie电影●Celluloid: 赛璐珞；电影胶片●Kinetoscope : 活动电影放映机●Nickelodeon：镍币影院●Phonograph：留声机●Photography：照相术，摄影术●Shot: （电影）镜头●genre: 类型1.2 Periods of Cinema● 1 The Early Years, Pre-cinema● 2 The silent era (1895-1927)● 3 the sound era (1927-)1.3 Technological development● 1.

It became an even more appropriate and more modern forum for leisure-time communal activity than these social institutions such as churches, dance hall, social clubs, and saloons, which belong, more properly, to an earlier, preindustrial culture.●4) Capturing Time●photography and motion pictures changed traditional notions of time.●Traditional notions of space and distance, which were based in part on how long it took toget from one place to another, were redefined by the virtually instantaneous transmission of information from one geographical location to another. Photographs, unlike sketches, paintings, and sculptures, record events instantaneously before they vanish into memory.●Thus the present and the past are rescued from the passage of time, lifted out of itscontinuous ongoing process, and frozen for all to see.

They usually paid five cents, a nickel, to see the show, and by 1905 the theatres became known as Nickelodeons.Modern Times (1936)Modern Times is a 1936 comedy film by Charlie Chaplin that has his iconic Little Tramp character struggling to survive in the modern, industrialized world.―a story of industry, of individual enterprise, and humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness.‖The film is a comment on the desperate employment and fiscal conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization.Chaplin, who was always very attentive to the economic and social problems of his day, declared in 1931: ‗unemployment, that‘s the key q uestion. Machines should do improve the well-being of humanity, instead of causing tragedy and unemployment‖.In the beginning of the film; the workers are portrayed as sheep, no individuality, merely cogs in the economic system.Chaplin and Goddard are to be seen thus as black sheep, being non-conformant.The clock clearly shows that every second counts, reflected in Franklins' quote 'Time is money'.Modern Times is full of images of huge carnivorous machines, conveyor belts, gears, dials and switches. These images show an oppressive and impersonal nature of technology. The assembly line, for example, which requires a worker to know only one piece of the puzzle, thus making the worker replaceable, is portrayed in this movie as mind numbing and tedious. Even after the work is finished, the man continues the physical motions until he zones back into reality.The entrepreneurs try all kinds of ways to exploit the workers. In order to cut the cost ofneedless ―lunch time‖, the owner of the factory agrees t o a demonstration of the automated lunch feeder. The failure of the feeding machine and the disastrous result show the negative side of machine. The hilarious scene is an irony to the capitalist. What is a theme?A theme is the central or dominating idea in a work. No proper theme is simply a subject or an activity. What happens is the plot; what the happenings add up to is the theme. The theme of a story is whatever general idea or insight the entire story reveals.Major themes1.Workers are machinized and lose their individuality , becoming a part of themachine.2. people are suffering jobless, hunger and homeless in the Great Depression.The difficulty of life during those years, food and jobs were hard to come by, and as Chaplin shows us jail was preferable to the hectic and dangerous city streets. At the time of the great depression Americans had to fight for what little they had, and as the movie showed many people went hungry.3. The American dream is just a slim hope for the common people.Chapter three Stars and culture3.1 The Star System●The star system was the method of creating, promoting and exploiting moviestars in Classical Hollywood cinema. Studios would select promising young actors and glamorise and create personas for them, often inventing new names and even new backgrounds.●The star system put an emphasis on the image rather than the acting. Women wereexpected to behave like ladies, and were never to leave the house without makeup and stylish clothes. Men were expected to be seen in public as gentlemen. Morality clauses were a common part of actors' studio contracts.3.2 The Early Years: The first star●Florence Lawrence (1886 – 1938) was the first film performer to be identified on screenand the first movie star. was a Canadian silent film actress.

He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I. In 1999, the American Film Institute(AFI) ranked Chaplin the 10th greatest male screen legend of all time.●Chaplin used mime, slapstick(闹剧) and other visual comedy routines, and continued wellinto the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp(流浪汉). "The Tramp" is a vagrant with the refined manners, clothes, and dignity of a gentleman.●Charles Chaplin combines, in the image of the Tramp, the old-world, aristocratic valuesof Victorian society, and the new-world egalitarianism(平等主义) of the immigrant, whose hunger and homelessness make him the defiant opponent of all arbitrary authority –especially policemen. Thus his costume of derby, dress coat, and cane look back nostalgically to a former elegance. And his concern for proper behavior and social manners identify him with more traditional values.Comments●In 2008, Martin Sieff, in a review of the book Chaplin: A Life, wrote: ― Chaplin was notjust 'big', he was gigantic. ‖●George Bernard Shaw called Chaplin "the only genius to come out of the movieindustry".3.3 Late Victoriamism●American Victorianism: Its values consist of sexual repression and restraint; hard workand an aversion to idleness; a sense of moral orderliness and self-control, discipline, self-confidence, self-sufficiency.

She was awarded an Honorary Academy Award in 1971, and in 1984 she received an AFI Life Achievement Award.3.4 Late Victorianism●During the 1910s and 1920s, the status of women changed as the American economyshifted from a rural and agricultural to an urban and industrial base. More and more women got jobs as typewriters /secretaries, clerks and salesgirls. These economic changes produced profound social changes, resulting in greater freedom for women. Movie stars function changed to adapt this transformations.Mary Pickford●Mary Pickford(April 8, 1892 –May 29, 1979) was a Canadian-born motion pictureactress, co-founder of the film studio United Artists and one of the original 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

With his marriage to Mary Pickford in 1920, the couple became Hollywood royalty with Fairbanks constantly referred to as "The King of Hollywood", a nickname later passed on to actor Clark Gable.3.5 Stars of the 1920s●The Jazz Age: sexual liberation, the woman‘s suffrage movement:●Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, Greta Garbo●unconventional, sexual liberated young women of the roaring twenties defended theiractions in terms of a modern morality.Stars of the 1920s: Having “It”●Sexuality now dominates the screen can be seen in the emergence of a novel criterion forstardom –the possession of ―It‖.●Elinor Glyn‘s 1926 novel call It, was adapted for the screen and starred thequintessential Hollywood flapper – the pretty, sexy, fun-loving, impudent, worldly-wise Clara Bow. Glyn defined ―It‖ as ―an inner magic, an animal magnetism,‖ and declared Bow to be the ―It Girl.‖Clara Bow●Clara Gordon Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress bornand raised in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, who rose to stardom in the silent film era of the 1920s. Her high spirits and acting artistry made her global fame. Bow came to personify the roaring twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol.Rudolph Valentino- Latin Lover●Rudolph Valentino (May 6, 1895 – August 23, 1926) was an Italian actor, and early popicon. Known as the "Latin Lover", he was one of the most popular international stars of the 1920s, and one of the most recognized stars of the silent film era. He is best known for his work in The Sheik and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. His death at age 31 caused mass hysteria among his female fans, propelling him into icon status.●The sexuality of Valentino, Garbo, and other foreign-born screen idols of the 1920sdiffers in nature from the wildness of American youth epitomized by Bow. American men hated Valentino almost as passionately as American women loved him.Greta GarboFrom Divinity to Humanity●Greta Lovisa Gustafsson(1905 –1990), better known as Greta Garbo, was a notedSwedish actress and recluse. She was a major star in the United States during the silent film era and the Golden Age of Hollywood. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked Garbo fifth on their list of greatest female stars of all time.●With the down-to-earth realism associated with the coming of sound, with the socialupheavals introduced by the stock market crash and the Depression, and with the redefinition of American notions of individualism brought about by the New Deal, the aloof, aristocratic nature of silent screen stars came under increasing criticism and attack.The American audience want their stars to more human and more accessible.●Garbo: a femme fatale(deadly woman) 蛇蝎美人—Garbo Talks –Garbo Laughs(more accessible)The Appearance of Sound Films● A sound film is a motion picture with synchronized sound, or sound technologicallycoupled to image, as opposed to a silent film.

Distinct vocal styles provide the basis of stardom for many performers, belonging to the working class. American audiences fall in love with burly, homely, hard-working, proletarian tough guys, homespun humorous stars and the adorable little ―orphan‖ S hirley Temple.Shirley Temple●Shirley Jane Temple (born April 23, 1928) is an American film and television actress,singer, dancer, autobiographer, and former U.S. Ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia. She began her film career in 1932 at the age of three, and in 1934, skyrocketed to superstardom in Bright Eyes, a feature film designed specifically for her talents.

The code handcuffed the rampant sexuality of early 1930s. It turned sex comedy into screwball comedy(神经喜剧).●Sexual self-censorship drives sex underground during the war years and finally explodesin the resexualization of Hollywood that takes place in the postwar years in film noir and in films with more sexually explicit themes and with sexier stars.Katharine Hepburn (AFI‘s 1st)Selected works●The African Queen (1951)●Suddenly, Last Summer (1959)●Long Day's Journey into Night (1962)●Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)●The Lion in Winter (1968)●On Golden Pond (1981)●The Philadelphia Story (1939–1941King Kong(1933)Technical Achievements●This low-rent monster movie pointed the way toward the current era of special effects,science fiction, cataclysmic destruction, and nonstop shocks. "King Kong" is the father of "Jurassic Park," the "Alien" movies and countless other stories in which heroes are terrified by skillful special effects. Despite its various deficiencies and occasionally antiquated style, King Kong remains not only a milestone of movie-making, but a magical experience. Watching King Kong reminds us of what movies once were and what they have the potential to be, and that's something that Jurassic Park will never be able to do. Stop Motion●Stop motion (定格动画)(also known as stop action) is an animation technique to make aphysically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning.Discrimination against Women●1) Jack‘s words (14‘50, cd1)--They are nuisance.--You‘ve got in the way already.●2) Ann is just a tool to make money.(9‘35)The director wants Ann in his film to attract the public●3)Ann is depicted in the movie as the weak.Ann‘s screaming;What killed King Kong?●King Kong himself,●Love for Ann,●Human,●Greed,●Science and technology/ modern weapon●Discrimination against King Kong;●Curiosity;Metaphors for Kong●1) Human vs NatureThe scene with Kong grasping the top of the Empire State Building with one hand while swiping futilely at the attacking bi-planes with the other makes a statement about man‘s indiscriminate(不加区别的) destruction of nature on the path to technological mastery. Kong was king of Skull Island, but, on Manhattan Island, he is a rampaging nuisance to be dealt with. It's not so much beauty that killed the beast, as it is the march of progress. In the world of man, a mythical beast like Kong has no room to survive.●2) Racist conceptions of blacks often depict them as subhuman, ape or monkey-like.In the movie, Kong stands for the black man brought in chains from a dark island (full of murderous primitive pagans) and with a penchant(嗜好) for skinny white blondes. (racism)shotA shot is a continuous strip of motion picture film, created of a series of frames, that runsfor an uninterrupted period of time. Shots are generally filmed with a single camera and can be of any duration. A shot in production, defined by the beginning and end of acapturing process, is equivalent to a clip in editing, defined as the continuous footage between two edits. Frames, shots, clips, scenes, and sequences form a hierarchy of units fundamental to many tasks in the creation of moving-image works.Some Film Termsediting, cutting 剪接Straight-on angle 平视镜头The high angle 俯视镜头The low angle 仰视镜头medium close-up 中景特写镜头Extreme long shot 大远景/大全景mise-en-scene 舞台布景slow motion 慢镜头special effects 特技cutIn film and video editing, a cut is an abrupt, but usually trivial film transition from one sequence to another. It is synonymous with the term edit, though ―edit‖ can imply any number of transitions or effects. The cut, dissolve（渐隐）and wipe serve as the three primary transitions.Fades（淡出）, dissolves, and wipes are perceived as gradually interrupting one shot and replacing it with another.

Hollywood's classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style.Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school（冷硬派）of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression.Characteristics of Film Noir1.Visual: The low-key lighting schemes of many classic film noirs are associated withstark light/dark contrasts and dramatic shadow patterning;2.Structure: Film noirs tend to have unusually convoluted story lines, frequentlyinvolving flashbacks and other editing techniques that disrupt and sometimes obscure the narrative sequence;3.Subject matter: Crime, usually murder, is an element of almost all film noirs; inaddition to standard-issue greed, jealousy is frequently the criminal motivation;4.Tone: Film noir is often described as essentially pessimistic;Why did film noir appear?1. Film noir…s aesthetics are deeply influenced by German Expressionis m(表现主义),an artistic movement of the 1910s and 1920s that involved theater, photography, painting, sculpture, and architecture, as well as cinema. The opportunities offered by the booming Hollywood film industry and, later, the threat of growing Nazi power led to the emigration of many important film artists working in Germany. They like to use chiaroscuro(明暗对照法) lighting and were interested in crime.2. The primary literary influence on film noir was the hardboiled school ofAmerican detective and crime fiction.3. War had changed American‟s thinking. Film noir deals with a uniquely Americanexperience of wartime and postwar despair and alienation as a disoriented(迷失的) America readjusts to a new social and political reality.HollywoodHollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California, United States situated west-northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity asthe historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word Hollywood is often used as a synonym of American cinema.HistoryIn 1853, one adobe hut(泥砖砌成的房屋) stood in Nopalera, named for the Mexican Nopal(仙人掌属植物) cactus indigenous to the area. By 1870, an agricultural community flourished in the area with thriving crops of many common and exotic varieties. Soon thereafter, land speculation led to subdivision of the large plots and an influx of homeowners.In 1886, H. H. Wilcox bought an area of Rancho La Brea that his wife then christened "Hollywood."Within a few years, Wilcox had devised a grid plan for his new community, paved Prospect Avenue (now Hollywood Boulevard) for his main street and was selling large residential lots to wealthy Midwesterners looking to build homes so they could "winter in California."In 1911, the Nestor Company opened Hollywood's first film studio in an old tavern on the corner of Sunset and Gower. Not long thereafter Cecil B. DeMille and D. W.Griffith began making movies in the area drawn to the community for its open space and moderate climate.In the 1960s, music recording studios and offices began moving to Hollywood an offshoot(衍生物) of the nightclubs further west on Sunset Boulevard. Other businesses, however, continued to migrate to different parts of the city.Hollywood today is a diverse, vital, and active community striving to preserve the elegant buildings from its past.Walk of FameThe Hollywood Walk of Fame consists of more than 2,400 five-pointed terrazzo and brass stars embedded in the sidewalks along fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street in Hollywood, California. The stars are permanent public monuments to achievement in the entertainment industry, bearing the names of a mix of actors, musicians, directors, producers, musical and theatrical groups, fictional characters, and others. The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust.The celebrity with the most "stars" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is singing-cowboy Gene Autry, who earned five different "stars," one in each of the above categories.
