自由和希望,是永远不该放弃的理想。

——观《肖申克的救赎》有感《肖申克的救赎》是一部不可多得的优秀励志型影片。影片故事情节很简单,充满了好莱坞的传奇色彩:被诬谋杀自己的妻子及其情夫的银行家安迪被判终身监禁来到了肖申克监狱。他的与众不同引起了黑人囚犯瑞德的注意并最终结成了很好的朋友。安迪总是沉默寡言并尽可能地维护自己作为一个正常人应该保有的一切。一个偶然的机会,他开始用自己丰富的金融知识帮助狱卒们“合法”地逃税,甚至帮助典狱长洗钱,以此换得一些对囚犯、对自己稍微宽松的待遇。他甚至不厌其烦地给州政府写信,并在几年后得到了回应---州政府向肖申克捐赠了图书、唱机、甚至史无前例的监狱图书基金——每年500美金。然而安迪终于从一个新来的囚犯那儿得知了自己妻子被杀的真相,当他向典狱长提出申诉的要求时却遭到了粗暴的回绝。因为此时贪婪的典狱长已将安迪当作自己谋取暴利的摇钱树,他甚至不惜杀掉那个知情的囚犯从而将安迪永远地留在肖申克来满足自己对于金钱无止境的贪欲。安迪对于法律公正的幻想破灭之后,终于不动声色地走上了自我救赎的道路—在一个月黑风高、闪电交加的深夜,安迪成功地穿越了自己十九年来挖成的秘密通道,重新获得了自由。

这部影片给人一种无形的力量,它让我知道人的一生中所应该拥有的最宝贵的东西。安迪的入狱也许还能说是司法制度上的的漏洞以及客观证据的指证。可是他的出逃却只能是一种极其无奈的选择。因为除了用这样的方式来完整他高洁的灵魂,他已经找不到其它的任何方式去完成本该就属于他的自由和梦想了。

可以说,所有左右这一切的仅仅只是诺顿的一念之善或者一念之恶罢了。当一个人身陷于冤狱而诉求无门的时候,我不知道他所面对的是一种怎么样的绝望。黑暗也许并不是最可怕的,而真正可怕的是这种绝望带来的对于人生一眼所看到的没有光亮的前路。我也不知道在瑞德平静的语调里所讲的安迪呆在他狭小的牢房里沉默不语的第一个夜晚里他是如何度过的,他的思索中的那些又会是什

么。他即将开始的是一种永远也没有光亮的生活,他即将在这个黑暗的夜里开始他漫长而没有前路的人生。

黑暗,无边无际的黑暗从此将他笼罩并且永远将他紧紧地包裹住了。希望和梦想从现在起都将离他而去了。他只是一个不善于表达爱意和情感的内敛男人,所以他永远失去了不知道如何向她表达情感的妻子,所以他在妻子出轨之后将她赶出了家门并且死在了情人家的床上。对他来说,这一切构建成了他心安理得地生活在牢狱里的心理基础,他在赎罪。对于安迪来说,他并没有杀害他的妻子,可是他的行为间接地导致了他妻子的死亡。

沉重的负罪感沉沉地包裹着他。不再有希望和光明。我们看到的是一种多沉重的黑暗,也许,我们就能明白光明和希望带给我们的快乐。

也许正如瑞德所说,希望是个可怕的东西;尤其对他们来说。他们不是死囚,所以他们必须抛弃任何希望地活着。一次或者多次的终身监禁让他们永远也只能生活在这四面高墙之内了。从一开始对高墙的恐惧到逐渐的适应,以及最后形成了对高墙的依赖,这样的一个过程其实就是一个逐渐放弃希望的过程。

没有希望,他们可以心安理得地在这里面活着,一直到死去。所以老布会在离开监狱获得他50年牢狱生活之后的第一个假释带给他的那种有限自由感觉时感到一种不安和惊惶,然后自杀身亡。他说,他没有办法适应这个自由的社会,他小时候只看过一次汽车,而现在到处都是汽车。自由给了他的是希望,这一点是无须置疑的,然而却正是这样的希望带给他的却仅仅只是担忧和惶恐不安的生活。每次在半夜里做着恶梦醒来却还必须是想一想之后才能明白自己身在何处。这样的生活也许反而不如他在监狱里来得自由和安心。在老布的心里其实早已经忘却了自由的感觉。所谓希望,对他来说已经彻底死去了。虚妄地承诺给他一个自由的希望,他反而不知所以了。

而安迪则恰恰相反,他通过自己的不断的努力,一点一点的为自己创造出逃的条件,一点一点的为自己争取自由。在他的坚持和隐忍下,在他对希望和自由的追捉追求之下,他终于能够顺利的出逃,并且过上了自己一直梦想的那种安静自由的生活,完成了他对自己的救赎。也可以说,安迪的成功出逃成了整个肖申克的救赎。从他的第一次为了所有参加户外劳动的狱友们争取一瓶冰冻的啤酒,

从他利用自己的特长获得了狱警的信任之后用监狱的广播室给所有的人们播放意大利音乐,从他每周一封信去为整个监狱争取几本图书馆退化的旧书,从他把一间破烂的小房间改造成一个硕大的图书馆,从他开始帮助一些刑期较短的囚犯们学习并获得学历以便他们出狱后的改造……所有的这一切都带给他们一种救

赎的感知。

而这一切,都归属于希望。因为安迪对未来抱着不灭的希望,于是他开始散播希望,开始救赎大众。每一个在肖申克里的人都是清白的,因为他们都被律师骗了。这样的自欺欺人的思想带给他们一种圣洁的光芒。就算他们真的是罪有应得,可是这个世界是否还应该给他们一点希望呢。救赎的寓意在于,安迪的存在净化了他们的灵魂和思想。

这无疑是部具有深刻内涵的影片。高大森严的肖申克监狱是一个含义丰富的象征,仿佛我们在现实中经常遭遇的一种冷酷的权威的代表。当我们对自己还懵懂无知的时候,我们便开始不断地接受这种权威的训练、锻造和暗示,我们不断地被告诫要完全清除干净自己内心的道路,竭力地、由衷地接受它的教化,从而赢得它的奖赏,以期获得我们做人的一切需求:被尊重并实践自己单纯的梦想。但权威却正不可感知地、潜移默化地变成了我们自己的一部分,我们的心脏和呼吸拥有了权威所赋予我们的统一的节奏,而我们自己对此却一无所知。它形象的表达了制度化之下的人是顺从制度失去自我,还是怀有希望找寻自由。安迪曾经对那个年轻人说过一句话,“人,不是忙着或,就是忙着死。”人生的不同境遇,在于人的选择,有时候是死亡,有时则是继续生存下去,当面对是绝望的时候,你会怎么选择,死亡还是生存下去?一个人能够在痛苦的监狱生活,不放弃对自由的向往,所以他成功了,获得了自由。

这是一部崇尚自由的电影。更重要的是,它向人们展现了取得自由的过程,它告诉我们,自由的获得不可能那么轻而易举,它也许要曲折,也许要在黑暗里瑟瑟发抖,甚至可能会依靠向强权妥协来换取自身的生存,它告诉我们自由是那样一个艰难甚至是必须穿越猥琐与肮脏的过程。它告诉我们,自由可以依靠妥协来苟延残喘,却不能依靠妥协来取得自由;自由也许是光辉的,但是黑暗却是它的前提;安迪的自由虽然艰难,虽然屈辱,但有了信念的支撑,才有了它本应有的光泽。

肖申克的救赎》把生命变成了一种残酷的选择。肖申克的救赎是我们简单的生活中值得一再回味的东西。相信自己,不放弃希望,不放弃努力,耐心地等待生命中属于自己的辉煌,这就是肖申克的救赎。

世界经典电影赏析

不朽传奇之《终结者2》 在世界经典电影赏析课上看过《终结者2》后感触很深。回想起这部片子,本来想找一个简短而又有概括性的语句来形容它,但我发现搜刮遍所有中文词汇都难拼凑出一句可以完整概括它的话。这时才突然想起有人也在网上也征集过“用一句话来形容《终结者2》”,当时让我记忆最深的是一个网友说,“在我的 有生之年,可能没有任何一部影片可以超越它!”是的,这也是我的心声,在我这小半辈子里看过的数也数不过来的影片中,唯有这一部是不可超越的!这不仅仅在于影片本身的经典,还在于这部影片是我童年时期看过的最为震撼的一部片子,它对我的思维方式,甚至价值观都造成了直接的影响,正是它告诉了我什么叫科幻片,什么叫超级大片,什么叫想象力,什么才是纯爷们! 首先,来介绍一下剧情吧。 影片故事发生在《终结者1》(后简称T1)的15年后,我们的小救世主已经长成了一个半大小子。整天除了泡妞和小偷小摸外基本上不干什么好事,完全没有要拯救苍生的觉悟。当然这也不能怪他,毕竟没人管吗,这时他妈正在“非正常人类研究所”里被人研究;而他爸......应该干脆还没出生!接着就是那个史上最无敌、最性感的机器人来了,千变万化的液态金属机器人。然后他自然要大开杀戒了,所以我们的美国英雄,阿诺州长就来拯救苍生了。剩下的基本就开打了,除了打还是打!大家自己看吧。总之,这部片子的特点就是没有一分钟空闲,整个影片从头紧张到尾,没有一点累赘,甚至没有一句多余的对白。 对于一部影片来说,想要要成为经典,那么它必须有过人之处,而这部影片却可以说是没有不过人之处。以至于我已经不知道该从哪个方面说起了,没办法,让我们从头到尾慢慢说吧,说到哪算哪吧,大家别嫌乱,凑活看吧。 影片开始时的设定与《T1》剧情可以说是完美的衔接,看得出身兼编剧与导演的詹姆斯·卡梅隆是花了很多心思去仔细琢磨的,一点没有漏洞和生硬的安排,完美平滑的衔接让观众可以很畅快的回到终结者的世界中去。接着科幻史上最伟大的点子,还是那个最无敌、最性感的机器人T1000华丽而鬼魅的登场了!这是一个直接到达巅峰的点子,他让一切续集中的升级版机器人都显得那么苍白无力,无地自容。无论他们自身配备多么强大的镭射武器,或者拥有多么傲人的双峰都将只是徒有其表的摆设,再没有什么机器人能和T1000相提并论了!当然,除了我们的老T800!当时的州长正值巅峰,可以说他的肌肉就是吃饭的本钱,就是 好莱坞票房的保证。为此导演还专门在影片的开头为他安排了一场华丽的肌肉展示秀。州长大人在酒吧里暴打了一群倒霉的皮衣男!这是很不人道地,那帮哥们

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

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

世界经典电影赏析之《末代皇帝》

世界经典电影赏析之《末代皇帝》 姓名:XX 学号:XX 学院:XX 班级:XX 该片获第60届(1988年)奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳摄影、最佳美工、最佳服装设计、最佳剪辑、最佳音响效果、最佳原创音乐九项大奖 这是历史上第一部获准进入北京紫禁城实景拍摄的电影,以溥仪的家庭教师庄士敦所写的《紫禁城的黄昏》为原始架构,参考了溥仪的自传《我的前半生》及其它相关著作,创造出一部偏西方视角、但制作认真的传记电影。由意大利扬科电影公司、英国道奥电影公司、中国电影合作制片公司联合摄制。中国背景、中国故事、中国人物,混杂了西方人的观念与技法。影片以一个特殊人物一生的传奇经历,反映了一个波澜壮阔的时代。影片的摄影和服装等尤为气派,溥仪的人物塑造回避了脸谱化的窠臼。 《末代皇帝》所诠释的溥仪,不单纯是一个皇帝的历史,而是一个作为皇帝的人的故事。对于历史问题的认识,向来严肃谨慎的中国人认为“讲故事和历史完全是两回事,细节的处理应当尊重历史的真实。”贝托鲁奇版《末代皇帝》可能和“史实”和“传说”都无关,他眼中的溥仪是在特定历史条件下无法摆脱被囚禁命运的生命个体,成份复杂、面目模糊的一个可以和观众进行心灵沟通的人。 本片的编导从人性角度出发,表现了溥仪如何从一个普通人变为“神”,又从“神”变为人的故事。一系列中国历史上的大事件作为溥仪的生活环境得到表现。影片的艺术技巧娴熟,人物的内心的矛盾和孤独、对人情的渴求、对外部世界的向往以及接受改造时的痛苦思想斗争,都得到深入的展示。本片写出了一个真实的、活生生的人。结构上,影片采用的是现实与回忆交叉的手法,保持了扣人心弦的戏剧悬念。与人物心理相合的色调和布景,优美的画面构图给人以审美的享受。影片的成功,是各国创作人员密切合作的结果。本片获得1988年第60届美国奥斯卡最佳影片奖、最佳导演奖、最佳改编剧本奖、最佳服装奖、最佳作曲奖、最佳剪辑奖、最佳音响效果奖、最佳摄影奖和最佳美工奖。 末代皇帝是一部气势宏大、色彩浓郁、场面壮观、技巧精湛的史诗巨片。 故事从1950年冬天开始讲述起:清王朝废帝溥仪,作为战犯从苏联被押回中国。火车抵达中苏边境的满洲里火车站后,溥仪认为此去性命难保,便溜进卫生间企图割腕自杀。中国战犯管理所所长发现情况有异,急敲卫生间的门。敲门声使溥仪陷入了回忆。1908年的一个冬夜,清宫卫队长敲开了醇亲王府的大门,按慈禧太后旨意把3岁的溥仪接进宫中教养,准备接位。 在香烟缭绕的坤宁宫内,即将咽气的慈禧接见了溥仪,告诉他要即日登基。在太和殿上隆重举行登基大典时,溥仪在大臣陈宝琛身上发现了一个装着蝈蝈的

电影音乐在电影中的作用及其与电影画面的关系 摘要:电影中一个不可或缺的部分—电影音乐,在电影中起到了很重要的作用,比如渲染、烘托氛围,塑造人物性格、抒发人物情感。在电影画面中,有恰如其分的音乐,更能增强画面的感染力,增强剧情的表现力,还有从视觉外的听觉中吸引观众。 。 关键词:烘托,人物情感,剧情。 电影音乐在电影中的作用 描绘作用,渲染及烘托画面的情绪及气氛 在电影中的不同时刻会采用不同的背景音乐,这些音乐对于描绘电影片段的感情色彩起到了很大的作用。1在电影《英雄》中,打击乐是以背景音乐出现的,虽然只是伴奏,但却是贯穿了整部电影。把打击乐融汇到电影中,能充分体现强弱快慢的旋律特征。使电影有了很强的层次感。能让观众有身临其境之感。使电影的情节此起彼伏,有快有慢。影片采用鼓的敲击乐非常适合剧情的发展,剧情悬念叠起,起起伏伏,让观众的心随之紧张、不安、猜测、担忧。敲击的鼓点时时震撼着人的心灵,使人们时时担心前面随时可能出现的新的情况,让观众为剧中人物的命运担忧。这就是打击乐为《英雄》烘托气氛达到的最佳效果 说明电影背景时代,更有真实感和历史感 在《活着》这部电影中,背景音乐充分说明了这部影片所处的时代,音乐的时代特征很明显。例如影片的一大特色—皮影戏,在电影中有很多富贵唱皮影戏的片段,而这个音乐作用很多,其中之一就是说明了时代特征—民国时期。在社会主义建设时期的片段,有许多歌唱革命,建设,歌颂毛主席的音乐,这和当时时代特征很相符。 电影音乐与电影画面的关系 音画对立,在对立中反衬电影主题或情节 总体来说,电影音乐是服务于电影画面的,主要有音画对立和音画同步。音画对立是指音乐和画面情节是不一致反而是相反的。这有点反讽的意味。在电影《美丽人生》中,讲的是的是二战纳粹集中营的故事,一对父子被抓进了集中营,父亲骗儿子说是在做游戏。电影中的音乐没有表现出面临死亡的悲痛深沉,反而是欢快,惹人发笑的。这在轻松的音乐中,反衬出父亲在面对死亡,保护亲人生命时的智慧和勇气,还有大爱,更加显示出纳粹分子的可战胜性。 音画同步,视觉和听觉的完美结合 音画同步,就是音乐在情感和节奏上和剧情画面一致。也就是正面衬托作用。在电影《狮子王》中,父子俩在静静地仰望满天的繁星。木法沙温和地对辛巴说:“你看夜空中闪烁的星星,他们就是那些死去的国王。有一天,我也会到那上面去的,但我将永远俯视着你,指引你生活的方向”。这段对话中运用的是《荣耀大地》这首曲子,这里刚开始的音乐是由弦乐在低音区轻轻的演奏,表现出木法沙对自己与儿子的未来的遥想,希望儿子将来能够继承父业的对话画面。当他们父子俩边谈话边嬉戏时,先前轻柔低沉的音乐突然转到高潮,随后他又快速的滑下,到后面的音乐回归于平缓而抒情,同时也表现出父亲对儿子谆谆教诲之中所折射出来的责任与关爱。

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."
