❶ 肖申克的救贖 影評,英文,200字
肖申克的救贖 影評:
Shawshank Redemption is one of the most exciting and morally satisfactory films in the 1990s. This is not just because it contains religious factors. God never cares for Shawshank, but because it is a story of looking for hope in the unshakable friendship between two people.
Crucially, as an age film based on a non horror short story by Stephen King, the film has never grown old. It is a moral fable about maintaining one's integrity and personal freedom, regardless of the environment. This is also true in real life, just as in this fictional fable.
翻譯:
《肖申克的救贖》是20世紀90年代最振奮人心,也是在道德上最令人滿意的電影之一。這並非只是因為它包含了宗教因素,上帝從來不會眷顧肖申克,而是因為它是一部在兩個人之間不可動搖的友誼中尋找希望的故事。
關鍵的是,作為一部根據斯蒂芬·金的一個非恐怖短篇小說改編的年代片,該片從未衰老。它是一個關於保持一個人的正直和個人自由的道德寓言,不論身處何種環境。這一點在現實生活中也是真實的,就如同在這部虛構的寓言中一樣。

Well, Star Wars: Clone Wars was released, and though it was a much anticipated event (or ploy) to get every Star Wars geek to the theater for something a little different, you might spend your money better on the Genndy Tartakovsky versions.
The action picks up shortly after Episode II: Attack of the Clones and owes a lot to the aforementioned Tartakovsky versions in voices, style, and tone. But that is where the similarities end. We』re thrown smack in the middle of the narrative with no explanation of character or setting, because, well, you know it all by now, don』t you? Obi-Wan and Anakin are deep into battle when they are called to action to find and rescue Jabba the Hutt』s little "punky muffin" (yes, that is what Jabba called him). The message is delivered by Ahsoka Tano, Anakin』s new padawan learner, a whiny, vacuous little twit who, if she wasn』t a force-wielding Jedi who kicks some serious Droid behind, would fit right in as a character on Hannah Montanna. I knew we were lost when Anakin called her "Snips" and she called him "Sky-guy" and R2D2 "Artooie." With the introction of Ahsoka, one can almost forget Hayden Christensen ever happened. But there are some neat new characters who make appearances and, of course, plenty of aliens.
As far as the animation rendering goes, there are some stylistic choices that give the whole thing a "dirty," monochromatic feel with the look of papier-maché sculptures. The animation was supposedly done to resemble Japanese anime, but methinks they confused anime with Supermarionation. I felt like I was watching an episode of Thunderbirds.
Let』s be clear. It』s Star Wars, and it satisfies your yearning for clone trooper-on-droid action and light saber els. We get to see lots of armored and unarmored clones do their business and big spaceships battling in the void. My 5-year-old simply loved it and would not have let me hear the end of it if he was forced to wait until the DVD, or worse, the TV show. There are some very silly things about this Clone Wars such as the fact that the battle droids all sound like Erkle from Family Matters, and Zero (Cero?) the Hutt sounds more like Capote the Hutt. But there are some very cool things about this version of Clone Wars too which should add some real variety to the mythos. Ventress is one of these things. This character is one evil Sith witch and is the best carry-over from the Tartakovsky toons. She should make the subsequent TV episodes fun to watch, if the show lasts that long for her to become a major feature that is. I also can』t wait to see more Jedi and General Grievous.
In short, see it if you or the geeklets can』t bear the wait, but you might spend your money better somewhere else waiting for the inevitable repeat ring the TV release.

The action of the film was far more intense than I was expecting. There were so many giant set pieces and grand action sequences that the film hardly ever stopped to catch its breath. And it』s not just that there was a LOT of action… it was all really good action. From the giant space battles to the huge ground troop battles, the lightsaber els and the Jedi throwing themselves into swarms of battle droid fights… it was all really quite spectacular. To me, it was easily the most action packed Star Wars movie to date, and maybe the most action packed Sci Fi film I』ve ever seen (animated or otherwise). It was fantastic. My hats off to them.
As much as I worried about how the animation looked in the trailers, I』ve got to admit within about 3 minutes I was totally sold on it and thought it worked and looked quite beautiful. Yeah, the facial animation could have been a lot better, but aside from that I thought the landscapes, the structures, the ships, the movements and the environments in general were all done wonderfully in my opinion, but I can see why others may differ.

I saw Star Wars Episode Two: Attack of the Clones hours ago. The 『how』 of that will be a thing of mystery buried in a passed piece of paper from my book signing with a hotel, a room number and a time listed upon it. You don』t want to know about that room or the person(s) in that room, you want to know about Episode Two.
Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar has a 15 second StepInFetchIt shuffle speak routine he does as he goes to first let Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker into the Amidala』s quarters that is so offensively awful, that it will not only make you recoil in horror, but it will remind you of all of the worst aspects of his character from THE PHANTOM MENACE. I wanted to burn the film, destroy, maim and murder it at this stage. I was steeling myself from the impending incompetence, the horror of my childhood being molested. I was prepared to have a very bad time.
I found myself not liking Anakin Skywalker at all, he』s a punk spoiled brat… A snotty nosed ego trip, that angry evil high school football quarterback that wants the head cheerleader. He whines like a Mark Hamill squealing about going to Toshi Station to get some power converters. There is much anger in him. He』s impulsive, conflicted, out of control and a mass murderer. Everytime I saw him and Natalie Portman together, I wanted to tell her to run, fly you fool. But am I not supposed to feel that way?
So did George Lucas drop the ball? Did he rape our childhood? Has he turned into nothing more than flannel wearing toy salesman without a soul or an eye for storytelling anymore? Was I disappointed to such a state that I wanted to yell and scream and break my original 12 inch Boba Fett and defecate upon it in a ritualistic purging of all that was once sacred to my childhood?
To answer all of those questions…. THANK GOD NO!!! Lucas succeeds with the film beyond my wildest dreams.
I was scared and thrilled to be watching Episode 2. The entire time I was in that hotel room, I was convinced that agents of Lucasfilm were going to knock down the doors and I knew I was being set up for a fall. I mean, it isn』t possible to see STAR WARS early. I know that, but there I was watching it. Listening to the sounds of drunk SXSW revelers falling into the door outside.
After about 20 minutes of that awareness everything but the film ceased to exist. The lights in the room dimmed in my mind. The person(s) in the room shrank like Scott Carey into the microverse. Everything about me was concentrating upon the film. The movie was not complete. There were moments where the effects were quite rough, but the work that was finished, was beyond reproach.
How do I explain the success of ATTACK OF THE CLONES? First, I must say that this film makes THE PHANTOM MENACE a better film. In fact, I would have to say that not only does it do that, but suddenly you will realize with horror, exactly why Jar Jar Binks is in the series at all. Upon first viewing, in less than ideal circumstances, I must say that I feel that this is by far the most entertaining Star Wars film to date. It may not have that innocent sense of wonder for the first film. It doesn』t have that sense of intimacy that EMPIRE STRIKES BACK had, or that film』s desperation. However, it also doesn』t have the trivial frivolity of JEDI or MENACE. ATTACK OF THE CLONES is a turning point in the saga. The point of no return.
I love this film desperately. I want to continually watch it for about a week with my best friends. I want to see it digitally projected with sternum shaking sound. I want to watch as friends discover the twists that Palpatine/Sidious/Dooku have in store for us. I want to have the conversations about what this all means, the speculative conversations about how these elements will play out in the final chapter of the prequels.
What is great about the film?
Obi Wan Kenobi / Ewan McGregor. He just owns the role now. There is a moment in the Cantina/Sports Bar on the surface level of Coruscant, where he and Anakin have chased an assassin. As they enter this packed sci-yuppie-scum club, they realize they can』t seem to be able to see 『the assassin』 anymore. Anakin wants to rush in, tear the place apart looking for the suspect. Obi Wan tells him to slow down or something then turns to head in a different direction, Anakin asks him, "Where you going?" to which Kenobi dryly responds, "To get something to drink." Kenobi is just that calm about things. He is the king of cool. He』ll get his suspect, but he』s going to get a drink first. Priorities. I was reminded of him telling Luke to let go and to trust his feelings. He doesn』t repeat that here, he simply lets go and trusts his feelings. We see it as an action, a path he chose. Then when he gets to that bar, leaning on it, sipping that odd drink, a drug dealer comes up to him and asks, "Wanna buy some deathsticks?" Obi Wan responds, "You don』t want to sell me death sticks." Drug dealer says, "I don』t want to sell you death sticks." "You want to go home and rethink your direction in life," Kenobi continues. "I want to go home and rethink my direction in life," the dealer says as he blankly turns and walks out of the club. Before he can get too smug about his little trick he senses the assassin behind him and he pulls the patented Obi Wan pivoting light saber at a bar strike that you』ve seen in the trailer. He gets his suspect and he』s never broke a sweat. He is the master. Kenobi is just plainly cool in the film. Watch how he handles things on Camino or the way he doesn』t betray a single thought in his conversation with Jango Fett there. He knows his game, his methods and his ways. He is confident and completely on the clock. Ewan is relaxed in the role, clearly having fun and is very very very good in the film. Contrary to Moriarty』s assertion that he would be more 『Han Solo』 he is in fact much more Master Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat from CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON) but without the romance.
Jango Fett – Boba Fett / Temuera Morrison – Daniel Logan -- I love this pair. I love them because they are the renegade Father and Son. They have their own set of rules, they are a self contained functioning unit. Jango wanted a son to raise his own way, that doesn』t mean he beats him and does evil things. He loves his kid. He』s training him to be a good Bounty Hunter like he is. There is very much a father/son – Master/Apprentice style thing going on here. And they have my favorite moment of the entire film, which is a tiny little moment between these two. Jango and Boba are headed to Genosia when they pick up that Kenobi is tailing them. They dive into the asteroid belt surrounding Genosia, Obi Wan trails behind them, not being lost. Jango tells Boba something like, "Prepare the sonic mines, we』ll give him…" something, I couldn』t make out… but Boba presses some buttons while doing what I can only describe as an evil giggle… a delighted giggle. Jango looks at him smiling, as if to say… "That』s my boy!" The moment is so honest and real. I』ve never seen a father – son moment like this in science fiction. Completely classic.
Anakin Skywalker - Padme Amidala / Hayden Christensen – Natalie Portman -- First Anakin is just an ass in this film. Like I said earlier, I can』t stand him. He』s like that boy in the TWILIGHT ZONE movie that has too much power and thinks about using it too much, but sometimes it goes terribly astray. Portman』s Padme in this film has mostly dropped the 『high speak』 that she had from the first film…. Injecting into her character far more vocal variety than the droll monotone of the first film that killed the performance. Here she infuses the character with more of herself, which is a very good thing. I like that she doesn』t want to have anything to do with Anakin. That she constantly is aware of all the reasons they shouldn』t be together. Of the scandal. Of their careers. Anakin hates being told no. She can see all the reasons, but when they go through what they go through… When the emotional binding takes place between these characters through a brief adventure, a loss of a loved one, a decent into hell… When faced with certain doom, they realize that life is too short to worry about the ifs and buts… And when it happens… John Williams』 love theme kicks in. This really kicks in just as Anakin and Padme kiss before being taken out and strung up in the arena (you know the sequence when they are chained against the pillars.) It actually starts from the shot (which we see in the trailer - of the arena with all the Geonosis creatures seated and cheering - the long shot looking from high to low). It consists of maybe three instruments playing at first, classic violin, very sorrowful and warm. It almost sounds a little bit like the theme for the Incredible Hulk TV series with Lou Ferrigno. The intros are similar before other instruments join in. It also reminded me of Francis Lai』s theme from Arthur Hiller』s LOVE STORY. Although it is strikingly different from other parts in the film, IT FITS IN BEAUTIFULLY. Elegant but not soppy. Gentle but not melodramatic. Williams thinking differently (after all, a very different relationship from Han and Leia!) and succeeding. It starts to crescendo as the lovers are wheeled out into the arena (reminded me of the shot of Luke with the twin suns) - same type of crescendo. It continues through the cuts between Obi-Wan chained and them being taken over to the same place but changes into a military drum style (you know, the thumping dictatorship heavy beat - almost like the 'sacrifice has arrived'). This changes the whole tone as we realize their 'moment' has been intruded and they are in serious poodoo. The romance is handled in terms of familiarity and proximity. This is that sort of romance where one loves the other, but only at the point of an emotional precipice where the other could see that they shared that feeling and embrace it. I liked this.
Palpatine-Sidious – Count Dooku-Darth Tyrannus / Ian McDiarmid – Christopher Lee -- Wow. Ok, read no spoilers about all of this. I remember thinking that Lucas could be soft in the head for trying to fool the audience into thinking Palpatine isn』t Sidious. I mean we can see that in the credits. What the hell? Right? See that is so like a self-centered audience. To sit there and think they are the center of the universe. The Palpatine-Sidious thing from the first film… The trade dispute… All of it not only makes sense with this film, but the way it unfolds. As you see the point of the various guises and names… How Yoda and Win sense no 『disturbance』 around Palpatine… There are reasons for these things… Just because you don』t know them yet, doesn』t mean Lucas doesn』t know what he』s doing… Upon seeing this film, seeing how he handles these two characters being 4 characters… It is genius. Compelling Machiavellian positioning and deception. There are points in this film where I wanted to scream at the screen and say, "Palpatine is an evil Sith Lord! They』re conspiring to destroy the Republic from within!" That』s when Christopher Lee essentially tells Obi Wan the same thing… My god. The evil. The evil of using the truth, knowing it could only be interpreted as being a deception and a lie. The Devil uses truth to betray mankind, because he is expected to lie… and the truth sounds better, but will never be believed. Just wait till you see how the Death Star plays into this… You』ll friggin die! FANTASTIC.
Yoda-Dooku fight… HOLY GOD! Right now there is a lot of speculation about Yoda with lightning. It is on one of the soundtrack covers. When you look at that. When people described the ball of lightning in Yoda』s hands from ShoWest, I thought they were insane. I thought only the bad guys did that. When I saw the film, well… I can tell you exactly how that moment plays out. So far as I have seen that hasn』t leaked and it isn』t a huge spoiler. When Yoda and Dooku first set up to go at it, Dooku hurls lightning at Yoda… Yes, Chris Lee』s character is that strong. Perhaps the strongest character with the force I have ever seen in Star Wars history. He attacks Yoda with lightning, Yoda captures it, twirls it around, balls it up and redirects it back at Lee. When I saw this, I screamed like a little girl. I mean it was like Uncle Tony grabbed my pantied ass. I jumped about 12 feet up in the air and squealed. WHAT A THRILL! The Yoda – Dooku fight is astonishing. I can not emphasize that enough. I have been thinking for quite some time that there was no way on earth that Yoda with a light saber could look cool. Folks, not only does it look cool, but there will be a collective scream of HOLY SHIT when what happens happens. Yoda』s fighting style is… well let』s just say he could kick all your asses. Oh and by the way, Williams』 DUEL OF THE FATES was nothing in comparison to this. Remember Vader vs Luke in EMPIRE… How overwhelmingly powerful Vader felt in comparison to Luke. Remember how weak Vader felt in comparison to the Emperor? Now imagine someone with The emperor』s powers in a full on battle with a master. Here towers of metal are torn asunder with the power of the force. The ceiling ripped apart. Seemingly unlimited strength with the force. You will quiver, shake and scream. You are warned.
You have to understand something in going into this film. What you have seen in Star Wars movies before were skirmishes… incidents… Remember, The Battle of Hoth was small, a minor hiccup. In ATTACK OF THE CLONES, you have the first REAL Star War. It isn』t a space battle, but you understand the scale of things. The size and scope of a MAJOR OFFENSIVE. And unlike in PHANTOM MENACE, where Lucas decided to cut up the action by trying to intercut three consecutive arenas of battle, here he portrays the action linearly… basically following Obi Wan and Anakin and Padme… who all basically stick together, with Padme taking a roll in some sand to miss out on the Dooku battle.
After the film was finished playing I was just beside myself with glee.
Right now it is a very interesting time for Star Wars fandom. PHANTOM MENACE polarized the audience into the faithful and those that felt it had all gone wrong. That everything was doomed. With the introction of MATRIX and LORD OF THE RINGS into fan circles, there began to be a real angry mix.
You know those guys that have been camping up in Seattle? The experience they are going to have in the theater upon that first showing… They will be so completely happy.
Now the cut I saw was still a bit rough around the edges, but folks… I can』t wait to see this on the big screen complete. To see what gets cut, what gets changed, what I notice when watching this movie the way Lucas meant for people to see it.
This movie is the real deal. It is smart, beautiful (god digital photography is the glory and the future of the world of film, the palette is strikingly dramatically colorful), thrilling and electrical. Essentially it is a pure action adventure science fiction fantasy with a touch of romance. Line up now. This Star Wars is for real.
P.s. To the talkbacker concerned about Jimmy Smits... He doesn't really do anything major in this film. He is next to Palpatine though right before that amazing shot of all the Clone Troopers and those Star Destroyer things... So he's close to Palpatine, but I bet he betrays Palp in the next one (speculation) Oh, I'm off to Los Angeles, so I won't be doing talk back looking on this to answer questions, but if you come to the book signing at BOOK SOUP Tuesday at 7pm, I'll answer all NON-SPOILER QUESTIONS about Episode 2. In fact, I'll even do imitations of scenes and looks on faces. I'm so jazzed about this movie now! Can't wait to share, but not spoil!!! The gods of spies have looked out for me on this one.... That sacrificial Power Puff doll was worth it!

《肖申克的救贖》(Shawshank Redemption)是我所看過令人震撼的一部電影之一。故事與其說講述的是主人公安迪成功越獄、重獲自由,倒不如說是安迪從靈魂到肉體獲得拯救的過程。在我看來,這部電影所表現的深刻、玄奧的宗教、社會、人生哲理是該片受到贊揚的最重要的原因。也就是說這部片子觸及到了人類靈魂最深處的東西,它反思的是一個關於體制化與反體制化、希望與絕望、靈魂救贖的深刻的主題。
institutionalized(體制化)、hope(希望)、redemption(救贖)是《肖》片中三個最為關鍵的靈魂性詞語,理解了這三個詞語,我們才能夠很好的解讀該片所探討的主題。
第一個詞語institutionalized(體制化),影片是通過瑞德(Mogran Freeman飾演)之口說出對這個詞語的看法的。他說:「first you hate them ,then you get used to,enough time passes...you get so you depend on them 。That is instititutionalized(起初,你討厭它,然後你逐漸的習慣它,足夠的時間後你開始依賴他。這就是體制化)」。理解片中所謂的體制化,我們回顧一下老布(那個監獄的圖書管理員)的一生就明白了。老布在監獄中也就是在一種體制下,渡過了50年,幾乎就是一生的時間。可以想像,曾經年輕的布,在剛剛進入這種體制時,他肯定曾經像一切剛剛進入Shawshank的所有NEW fish(菜鳥)一樣,憤世嫉俗,並試圖反抗,然後和大部分的囚徒一樣,他們逐漸發現:反抗等於徒勞,於是從對體制的反抗逐漸變為慢慢的接受然後學會適應體制,最後發展到對體制的嚴重依賴。可憐的老布,他的靈魂和肉體都已經完全體制化了,在垂暮之年卻被放逐出體制之外,可以想像的到,老布在一個幾乎完全陌生的體制下是根本無法存活的,此時老布與體制脫離無異於一個胎兒被斬斷臍帶,因此老布最終選擇了結束自己的生命。
第二個詞語hope(希望)。對這個詞語的闡釋是通過安迪和瑞德在午餐中的爭論展開的。心存信念和希望的安迪說:「forget that there are ...places...in the world that aren't made out of stone,
there is something ...inside...that they can't get to...that is hope (不要忘了這個世界上還有可以穿透一切高牆的東西,它就在我們的內心深處,他們無法達到,也觸摸不到,那就是希望)」,然而睿智的瑞德馬上反駁說:「let me tell you something my friend 。hope is a dangerous thing hope can drive a man insane it's got no use on the inside.you'd better get used to that idea (讓我來告訴你什麼是希望,我的朋友。希望一個危險的東西,它能夠使人瘋狂,我們心中的希望根本毫無用處。你最好習慣這個觀念)」
安迪的救贖 ——個人和群體的靈魂拯救
理解了以上兩個詞語,體制化和反體制化、希望和絕望,我們的主人公安迪開始了影片的主題——靈魂的救贖(redemption)。在Shawshank這個世界中,我們可以把人們劃分成兩大群體:體制內群體和體制外群體。體制內包括像典獄長和獄警在內,他們是體制的締造者、執行者和維護者,以典獄長和那個兇狠的獄警無疑是撒旦的化身、窮凶極惡的統治者。而Shawshank的囚徒無疑是屬於體制外的人群,他們是體制的服從者、被同化者。體制外的囚徒可以分為四類,以安迪為代表的英雄(hero),以瑞德為代表的精英(elite),以老布等為代表的大眾(the masses),和以被虐待致死的肥仔為代表的失敗者(alsoran)。英雄在靈魂上是超越體制的,盡管他們的肉體不得不服從體制的約束,然而英雄卻能夠利用自己偉大的靈魂和偉大的行動不斷改變體制、超越體制。精英屬於對體制有深刻清醒認識、曾經試圖反抗但是最終選擇妥協的那一類人。精英和英雄的共同之處在於在靈魂深處,二者都有希望存在。精英和英雄的區別在於,英雄除了在精神上篤信希望外,而且在行動上試圖改變體制,這種卓越智慧的努力,正是是英雄成為英雄的根本所在。精英雖然在靈魂中尚有對希望的信仰,然而在行動上他們已經完全放棄了反抗的可能,他們在靈魂上雖然沒有被體制化,但在肉體上已經完全體制化了。其次,就是絕大多數的大眾(就是你我這樣的芸芸眾生),他們也曾經試圖反抗,但是在強大的體制化的力量之下,他們卻不幸的從精神到肉體完全被體制化了。最後,就是那些被淘汰的失敗者,他們成了體制的祭品,很快被淹沒在體制化的漩渦之中。
當然,安迪通過自己的行動不僅改變了自己的命運,而且深深的影響了牢籠中的其他人:安迪在獄中擴建圖書館,幫助其他犯人讀書識字,那個拿到同等學歷的問題青年就是被拯救的典型,一個跨掉一代中的嬉皮士竟然能夠被教化成一個紳士,我們不得不感嘆於救贖的力量。因此安迪的拯救不單單是一個個體的行為,還是一個群體的行為,這完全符合基督教關救贖的定義。影片在闡釋安迪反抗的過程時,用了一個宗教性很強的詞語——redemption(救贖)。追述這個詞語的宗教淵源,我們很容易想起耶穌靈魂拯救的故事,事實上,在片中不知一次的出現過《聖經》,以及對《聖經》的引用。具有諷刺意味的是,那個道貌岸然的典獄長,外表似乎是一個聖潔的聖徒而他的行為和內心卻骯臟的像魔鬼。在他的辦公室旁邊又一個精緻的雋語:主的審判將要降臨,然而這末日的審判卻最終降臨到這個審判者身上。
因此,《肖》片最重要的貢獻在於對歷史觀的一種寓言式的闡述和對個體救贖、群體救贖的宗教式的反思。
對該片的反思——救贖就在你我心中
不難理解,Shawshank不過是一個寓言而已,它事實上就存在於我們現實的生活中。現實中的每一個人,都在自覺不自覺的扮演著Shawshank中囚徒或者獄方的角色。我們中的大部分人,都將淪為老布那樣的命運,逐漸地被體制化直到嚴重地依賴體制,終其一生不曾越規逾矩。任何一種組織、制度、社會都可以視Shawshank為縮影。比如,我們的大學,某種程度上就是一個Shawshank城堡,當我們離開這座城堡時,我們中的絕大多數是註定要被體制化的,即使進入社會,體制對人的侵蝕也一刻沒有停止過,社會歷史就是在體制化和反抗體制化的循環中不斷前進的,然而救贖卻完全在於我們自己的選擇,正如安迪的選擇一樣,再強大的體制也永遠無法剝奪我們選擇救贖的權利,因為,救贖就存在於我們的心中,那是任何強權也無法到達的地方。to being,or not to being,選擇救贖還是選擇絕望,選擇英雄還是選擇大眾,選擇上帝還是選擇撒旦,這一切都在你我心中

另:
一部揭露美國司法黑幕的巨片,一幅用友誼和希望描繪的生命畫卷,寓含人生哲理的喻世之作。
一條漫長的自由之路、一次靈魂深處的洗滌、一部不朽的勵志經典,「希望」遵循神的旨意安睡在內頁被挖空的《聖經》里,附著在安迪高大的身軀里,匍匐在500碼的下水道里,最後,那條僅有的骯臟之路把安迪送往美麗的新世界。這段充滿絕望與沉重的救贖之旅來自臭名遠揚的鯊堡監獄、來自驚悚小說大師史蒂芬·金的原著、來自哲理導演達拉邦特的傾力之作。《肖申克的救贖》帶來的是恆久不變的真摯友情、百折不撓的靈魂鑄煉和生生不息的命運之火。
希望不需要熱情,熱情的希望只是靈魂深處一次不經意的沖動。在監獄里,當生命的過程只能以時間為刻度的時候,任何高漲的熱情都只能無可奈何地向失望舉起雙手,宿命地接受命運的安排。只有內心清澈的人才能看清人生的荒謬,否則,人只有在面對冤枉時委屈和無奈、在面對壓制時憤怒和狂暴、在困境下腐爛,甚或在平常的環境中寂寞和絕望。
怯懦囚禁人的靈魂,希望才可感受自由。強者自救,聖者渡人。
和以往那些講述陰暗晦澀牢獄生活的監獄片有所不同的是,《肖申克的救贖》是一部講述友情、困頓、希望與夢想的電影,劇中的男主角冷靜的心態、不屈的鬥志、足智多謀的設計、鍥而不舍的精神非常令人感動。這部電影最能打動人心之處,便是自始至終都能給予人們希望。
總的來說,這是一部值得再三品味的電影佳作。
——《華盛頓郵報》
自由是什麼� 自由就是能在陽光下悠閑自得地呼吸。對於我們而言,它就像空氣,平常得讓你根本不去想失去它會怎樣,但是自由對於那些高牆內的囚徒,尤其是那些註定一輩子都要呆在那裡的人們又是多麼珍貴而又遙不可及。安迪最後逃出鯊堡監獄,是什麼實現了對他的救贖?是他心中對自由的渴望,是希望的存在!
——影評人 米 朵
《肖申克的救贖》里,我深深地為主人公安迪對自由一刻不息的渴望震憾了,當他從下水道逃向外面的世界時,當他迎著暴雨和閃電怒吼時,我的心也隨著他一同律動著,安迪所獲得的身體和心靈上的自由讓我覺得痛快極了。
——網友 燈 籠
故事發生在1947年,銀行家安迪被指控槍殺了妻子及其情人,被判無期徒刑,關在鯊堡監獄里。
好長時間以來,安迪不和任何人接觸,在大家抱怨的同時,他在院子里很悠閑地散步,就像在公園里一樣。老犯人瑞德是監獄中的「權威人物」,只要你付得起錢,他幾乎有辦法搞到任何你想要的東西:香煙,糖果,酒,甚至是大麻。一個月後,安迪請瑞德幫他搞的第一件東西是一把小石錘,他的解釋是想雕刻一些小東西以消磨時光,並說會自己想辦法逃過獄方的例行檢查。不久,瑞德就玩上了安迪刻的國際象棋。之後,安迪又搞了一幅麗塔·海華絲的巨幅海報貼在了牢房的牆上。
由於安迪精通財務制度方面的知識,很快使他擺脫了獄中繁重的體力勞動和其他變態囚犯的騷擾。不久,聲名遠揚的安迪開始為越來越多的獄警處理稅務問題,同時他也逐步成為監獄長諾頓洗黑錢的重要工具。由於安迪不停地寫信給州長,終於為監獄申請到了一小筆錢用於監獄圖書館的建設。監獄生活非常平談,總要自己找一些事情來做,安迪聽說瑞德原來很喜歡吹口琴,就買了一把送給他。夜深人靜之後,總可以聽到悠揚的口琴聲回盪在監獄里。
一個年輕犯人的到來打破了安迪平靜的獄中生活:這個犯人以前在另一所監獄服刑時聽說過安迪的案子,他知道誰是真凶。但當安迪向監獄長諾頓提出要求重新審理此案時卻遭到了斷然拒絕,並受到了單獨禁閉兩個月的嚴重懲罰。為了防止安迪獲釋,諾頓甚至不惜設計害死了知情人!
面對殘酷的現實,安迪變得很消沉……一天,他對瑞德說:「如果有一天,你可以獲得假釋,一定要到某個地方替我完成一個心願。那是我第一次和妻子約會的地方,把那裡一棵大橡樹下的一個盒子挖出來,到那時你就知道是什麼了。」當天夜裡,風雨交加,雷聲大作,已得到靈魂救贖的安迪越獄成功。原來20年來,安迪每天都在用那把小石錘挖洞,然後用海報將洞口遮住。安迪出獄後,領走了諾頓存的一部分黑錢,並告發了他貪污受賄的真相。而諾頓在自己存小賬本的保險櫃里見到的是安迪留下的一本《聖經》,里邊挖空的部分放著一把幾乎磨成圓頭的石錘。
瑞德獲釋了,他在橡樹下找到了一盒現金,兩個老朋友終於在墨西哥陽光明媚的海濱重逢了。
《肖申克的救贖》和《聖經·出埃及記》
《肖申克的救贖》是一部被廣大影迷所喜愛的影片,在分析《肖》之前,我想先敘述一個故事,一個《聖經·出埃及記》的故事。
猶太人始祖之一雅各有子眾多,其中最受寵愛的是約瑟,其他幾個兄弟很嫉妒他,就趁一次一起外出的機會把約瑟賣給了商人做奴隸,而對父親謊稱約瑟在野外被野獸殺死了。
約瑟被帶到埃及,又賣給一個埃及貴族做奴隸。而那個貴族的妻子看上了約瑟的才華,就百般地勾引他,結果被約瑟嚴辭拒絕。於是這個女人反咬約瑟調戲自己,約瑟被送進了監牢。
一天,法老的酒政和膳長也被關進監獄,晚上,這兩個人各做了一個夢,就找約瑟來解。約瑟說這兩個夢說明:3天之後,酒政要被釋放,而膳長要被處死。3天後,約瑟的預言果然都應驗了。
不久,埃及的法老也做了兩個夢,先是夢見7頭瘦弱的牛吃掉了7頭肥壯的牛,又夢見7個細弱的谷穗吞掉了7個飽滿的谷穗。誰也解不出這兩個夢,酒政就把約瑟推薦來,約瑟從監獄到王宮,告訴法老,這兩個夢實際上是一個意思,即天下將有7個豐年,繼之以7個荒年,荒年之害將遠大於豐年之得。他向法老提建議,在豐年蓄積糧食,在荒年售出,既度荒,又謀利。法老很欣賞約瑟,就把他從監獄里釋放出來,任命他為埃及的宰相。
事情果然像約瑟預言的那樣,7個豐年之後7個荒年來到了,天下絕糧,只有埃及有倉儲。猶太地區也面臨糧荒,約瑟的兄弟們也要到埃及來買糧食,他們沒有認出約瑟,被約瑟狠狠地報復了一通,最後兄弟和解,猶太人全族遷到埃及。
由此看來,《肖申克的救贖》與《聖經》中猶太人在埃及的遭遇在基本故事走向和情節構架上驚人地一致,曾經有人把《肖》比做《基督山伯爵》,而我則認為比做《出埃及記》更恰當一些,因為後者無疑與《肖》有更多共同之處。猶太人幾百年間的遭遇在《肖》中被濃縮到了20年,安迪則兼兩代猶太人族長約瑟和摩西於一身。
《肖》劇與《出埃及記》在大節上處處契合,正與西方人心理上的文化積淀引起共鳴,這應該不是無意得之,而是精心設計的產物。
另一方面,如果我們把視野從西方擴展到整個人類文化圈,受侮辱與損害者起而復仇、向施暴者連本帶利索還的故事,從來都為人類各個民族所喜愛。幾乎每個文化發達的民族都有類似的故事或傳說。泰戈爾在《飛鳥集》中有語雲:歷史在很有耐性地等待著被侮辱者的勝利。此話就歷史真實來看未必為真,但卻是幾乎所有人類社會成員的共同理想。
在戲劇里,一個人被打得越狠,被踩得越低,被欺壓得越萬劫不復,他的報復就越讓人痛快,戲劇性就越強,也最容易引起觀眾的認同。安迪在幾乎不可能站起來的地方站起來,在幾乎不可能活過來的地方活過來,從爛泥里站起來,從陰溝里鑽出來,從墳墓里爬出來,這種生命力已超越了人本身,是神的光芒。大雨沖刷著他的身體,盪滌著他的靈魂,他用地獄的眼光看著曾經真真切切發生在周圍的一切,他用雷一樣的聲音怒吼:「歸還的時刻到了!」
哪位導演能掌握住這種力量,就等於掌握住了閃電。

劇情簡介:
故事發生在1947年,銀行家安迪因為妻子有婚外情,用槍殺死了她和她的情人,因此他被指控槍殺了妻子及其情人,安迪被判無期徙刑,這意味著他將在肖恩克監獄中渡過餘生。
阿瑞1927年因謀殺罪被判無期徙刑,數次假釋都未獲成功。他現在已經成為肖恩克監獄中的「權威人物」,只要你付得起錢,他幾乎有辦法搞到任何你想要的東 西:香煙,糖果,酒,甚至是大麻。每當有新囚犯來的時候,大家就賭誰會在第一個夜晚哭泣。阿瑞認為弱不禁風、書生氣時足的安迪一定會哭,結果安迪的沉默使 他輸掉了四包煙。但同時也使阿瑞對他另眼相看。
好長時間以來,安迪不和任何人接觸,在大家報怨的同時,他在院子里很悠閑地散步,就象在公園里一樣。一個月後,安迪請阿瑞幫他搞的第一件東西是一把小 的鶴嘴鋤,他的解釋是他想雕刻一些小東西以消磨時光,並說他自己想辦法逃過獄方的例行檢查。不久,阿瑞就玩上了安迪刻的國際象棋。之後,安迪又搞了一幅麗 塔.海華絲的巨幅海報貼在了牢房的牆上。
一次,安迪和另幾個犯人外出勞動,他無意間聽到監獄官在講有關上稅的事。安迪說他有辦法可以使監獄官合法地免去這一大筆稅金,做為交換,他為十幾個犯人朋友每人爭得了兩瓶Tiger啤酒。喝著啤酒,阿瑞說多年來,他又第一次感受到了自由的感覺。
由於安迪精通財務制度方面的的知識,很快使他擺脫了獄中繁重的體力勞動和其它變態囚犯的騷擾。不久,聲名遠揚的安迪開始為越來越多的獄警處理稅務問 題,甚至孩子的升學問題也來向他請教。同時安迪也逐步成為肖恩克監獄長沃登洗黑錢的重要工具。由於安迪不停地寫信給州長,終於為監獄申請到了一小筆錢用於 監獄圖書館的建設。監獄生活非常平談,總要自己找一些事情來做。安迪聽說阿瑞原來很喜歡吹口琴,就買了一把送給他。夜深人靜之後,可以聽到悠揚而輕微的口 琴聲回盪在監獄里。
一個年輕犯人的到來打破了安迪平靜的獄中生活:這個犯人以前在另一所監獄服刑時聽到過安迪的案子,他知道誰是真凶!但當安迪向監獄長提出要求重新審理此案時,卻遭到了斷然拒絕,並受到了單獨禁閉兩個月的嚴重懲罰。為了防止安迪獲釋,監獄不惜設計害死了知情人!
面對殘酷的現實,安迪變得很消沉……有一天,他對阿瑞說:「如果有一天,你可以獲得假釋,一定要到某個地方替我完成一個心願。那是我第一次和妻子約會 的地方,把那裡一棵大橡樹下的一個盒子挖出來。到時個你就知道是什麼了。」當天夜裡,風雨交加,雷聲大作,已得到靈魂救贖的安迪越獄成功。
原來二十年來,安迪每天都在用那把小鶴嘴鋤挖洞,然後用海報將洞口遮住。安迪出獄後,領走了部分監獄長存的黑錢,並告發了監獄長貪污受賄的真相。監獄長在自己存小賬本的保險櫃里見到的是安迪留下的一本聖經,里邊挖空的部分放這一把幾乎磨成圓頭的鶴嘴鋤。
阿瑞獲釋了,他在橡樹下找到了一盒現金,兩個老朋友終於在墨西哥陽光明媚的海濱重逢了。
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
最常見的三個譯名:《肖申克的救贖》、《刺激1995》、《月黑高飛》;
(如果你沒有看過這部片,你所應該做的是馬上去找一張碟回來看。而決不是看這篇影評。)
redemption,救贖,並不只是andy本身,從某種意義上來說,他不但拯救了自己,也拯救了他的獄友。他對獄友的拯救,表現在一種精神上 的拯救,因為他一定程度上使他的周圍的人明白了,追求自由和希望的可貴--red就是其中一個典型。兩個對自由持有一樣的寄望,但有著不同態度的人,構成 了全片的主線。三次「redemption」如下:
第一次是他幫助獄警HADLEY逃稅,為獄友贏得每人3瓶啤酒的獎勵。 「We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders, and felt like free men. We could'a been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all Creation.」... 「You could argue he'd done it to curry favor with the guards. Or maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normal again...if only for a short while.」 這時,你看到了T.Robbins第一次露出笑容。畢竟,自由總是最快樂的,同時也代表一種自我價值的實現。每個人都有這種需要,使自己有重要感。
第二次則是本片中最為精彩的一part,他在獄警辦公室放「費加羅的婚禮」(Le Nozze de Figaro)。這個片段看似平靜如水,但 實則激情四射,殺傷力極強,最能使你兩眼發熱。 「I have no idea to this day what them two Italian ladies were singin' about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singin' about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.」...「I tell you, those voices soared. Higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away... and for the briefest of moments -- every last man at Shawshank felt free.」 這次,andy的微笑是一種帶有勝利感的微笑。他利用自己在獄警中的價值以及依此得到的信任,再次給他的朋友,帶來自由的感覺--哪怕是一剎那。 「There are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.」
第三次,他為監獄建立了一個圖書館。為了得到第一批書,他每周一封信,連續寫了六年。然後他增加到每周兩封,在andy入獄的第二個十年間,圖書館落成。這也是一個劃時代的勝利,這個勝利的影響是深遠的。大概也是在這個時候,Tommy出現了,劇情也隨之發生了轉折。
Tommy被殺後,andy從hole中出來,臨脫獄的一天,和red的對白非常耐人尋味。在逃離此處之前,andy反思了自己的錯誤,妻子的死 他要負一定責任。「I killed her, Red.」... 「I didn't pull the trigger. But I drove her away. That's why she died. Because of me, the way I am.」當談及以後的打算時,經過近40年的煎熬,red顯得很沮喪(並且如果你比較20年、30年、40年這三次聽證,你會發現 M.Freeman表演的細膩之處)。 「I couldn't hack it on the outside. Been in here too long. I'm an institutional man now. Like old Brooks Hatlen was.」... 「In here I'm the guy who can get it for you. Out there, all you need are Yellow Pages. I wouldn't know where to begin.」 他對希望懷有恐懼--因為他也曾擁有希望。但他明白,希望越大,失望越大。很多時候,這也是使我們裹足不前和抱有消極思想的原因。然後andy用一個精闢 有力的句子,結束了兩人的談話:「Get busy living--or get busy dying.」這句話甚至可以視為全劇的中心思想。
這里不得不提一下的是,逃獄前後的片段處理得很好。red總是擔心andy會自殺。面對絕望,有人選擇死,因為這意味著一種解脫--導演在這里也 有引導觀眾往「死」那個方向想的傾向,似乎是想和觀眾開個玩笑--但對於那些真正想獲得自由的人來說,會選擇另外一條路,一條真正通往自由的路。
其後,norton自殺,「HIS JUDGMENT COMETH AND THAT RIGHT SOON.」這句話非常有諷刺意味。而從 andy脫獄成功到red出獄後的這一段戲,完全是對M.Freeman演技的考驗。M.Freeman的獨白和表演總是給人一種看破紅塵,爐火純青的感 覺,為本劇增色不少。(王家衛也在《重慶森林》、《春光乍泄》等片中用過獨白的手法,但梁朝偉的表現似乎還是稍欠火候。)從在獄中: 「Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...」到最後他打開盒子,決定到 Zihuatanejo找他的朋友andy,說出內心最後的獨白: 「I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain...」 均可以看出他的深厚功力。
顯然,這並不是一部簡單的、純粹的商業片--雖然它確實帶來很高的商業成就--1995年全美影帶租售冠軍。但除卻票房,它帶來的信息量也是很大 的。比如「價值」就是該片帶來的一個重要信息。出獄監犯的人生價值何在?Brooks(老布)的從出獄到自殺,也是催人淚下的一個片段。正如red所說, 他已經長期的監獄生活institutionalized(「體制化」)了。 「Man's been here fifty years. This place is all he knows. In here, he's an important man, an ecated man. A librarian. Out there, he's nothing but a used-up old con with arthritis in both hands. Couldn't even get a library card if he applied. You see what I'm saying?」...「Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."」
珍惜你的自由,也是本片所要表現的主旨之一。red是這樣評價自己的: 「I'm the only guilty man in Shawshank.」他最後一次在HEARINGS ROOM所說的,他對自己所做的一切, 深感悔恨。「Not a day goes by I don't feel regret, and not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on myself the way I was...stupid kid who did that terrible crime...wish I could talk sense to him. Tell him how things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, this old man is all that's left, and I have to live with that.」

❹ 《泰坦尼克號》英語影評(200字左右)
Titanic is a ship that carries two things, love and disaster.
It's not deep at all, so it can be understood and touched by any audience across nationalities, ages, genders and cultures.
The love story of Jack and Rose is how a diaosi defeated a handsome man and achieved an unforgettable love.
Therefore, even though it is an old film, it is very close to the psychology and desire of the current audience.
Love without hierarchy and love that transcends secular prejudice are tear-incing in any age.
譯文:《泰坦尼克號》這只大船裝著兩個東西,愛情和災難。
它一點都不深沉,因此跨國籍、跨年齡、跨性別還跨文化,什麼樣的觀眾都能看明白,都能被打動。
傑克和露絲的愛情故事用現在的流行語來說,就是一個屌絲如何戰勝高富帥,成就一份刻骨銘心的愛情。
因此,即使是一部老片,它卻非常貼近當下觀眾的心理和慾望。
沒有等級觀念的愛情、超越世俗偏見的愛情,這放在什麼時代都具有催淚的功效。
幕後製作
影片選拍攝地址,從零開始搭建一個包含蓄水槽的大型攝影基地,一開始定的是馬爾他的一個天然水坑,但當地政府以破壞環境為由,不予放行。
最終選定的是墨西哥羅薩里托的一個沿海開發區,經過了漫長的談判,福斯公司買下了羅薩斯托40英畝的土地,還另購置60英畝以備不時之需。
❺ 英語影評一篇
《功夫熊貓》採用純東方家庭倫理的敘事邏輯,使得整個故事更輕松。
Kung Fu Panda adopts the narrative logic of pure Oriental family ethics, which makes the whole story more relaxed.
這樣處理使得「主題」略顯單薄,但確實更適合小朋友去看。
This treatment makes the "theme" slightly thin, but it is more suitable for children to see.
這部作品不會感動到落淚,也不會無厘頭到笑翻天,但是這個平衡點才是「小朋友」最輕松的觀看環境。
This work will not be moved to tears, nor will it be ridiculous to laugh, but this balance point is the most relaxed viewing environment for "children".

❻ 獅子王的觀後感英文要用了五十字要帶翻譯
Film is an amazing technical achievement, but even if it is meticulous, it is only "realistic", because real animals can't talk, they can't sing, and they can't quote those interesting pop culture stalks.
Movies are sometimes wonderful, but they are often absurd. And sometimes-for example, a very lifelike animal dies on the big screen in front of you, and the only son cries for him-it is really wandering on the edge of grotesque.
該片是一部令人驚嘆的技術成就,不過即便細致成這樣,它也只是「逼真」的,因為真正的動物不會說話,他們不會唱歌,也不會引用那些有趣的流行文化梗。電影有的時候很妙,不過常常是荒謬的。而且有時候——比如一個非常逼真的動物在你面前的大銀幕上死去,獨子為他哀嚎——真是在怪誕的邊緣遊走。
幕後製作
《獅子王》由《奇幻森林》導演喬恩·費儒構思並執導,翻拍自迪士尼動畫經典《獅子王》,是一部真人與CG結合的電影。費儒借用了他在《奇幻森林》中的經驗——使用真人兒童演員,並利用尖端技術和在洛杉磯攝影棚的綠幕片場,製作叢林和動物。
喬恩·費儒也是電影《奇幻森林》的導演,他帶領《阿凡達》《泰坦尼克號》的視覺效果團隊,進一步提升了迪士尼CG(Computer Graphics)電影的製作技術水平,運用計算機設計、人工模型及道具等,使電影中的動物毛發、大自然的光和影等,都顯得更加逼真,而不是真正引入獅子等動物來拍攝電影。
❼ 急求《當幸福來敲門》的英文影評
The Pursuit of HappinessI was fortunate to see this movie in a screening. I really enjoyed it, and felt that it lived up to the teary and heartwarming trailer. While the movie has an uplifting "go for your dreams" message, the deepest theme is that of family.Will Smith did a great job as the father trying to protect his son from their circumstances of becoming homeless as much as he can, while at the same time trying to work in the competitive world of stocks as an un-paid intern. Jaden Smith was outstanding as the preschool-aged kid who knows things are going wrong and tries to have a stiff upper lip, but just can't do it all the time.The story is very touching and was close to home for me. My family has been through some tough times, and this movie just reminded me of how much my parents struggled to provide for our family and yet kept life fun as much as they could. I am excited to go see this with my parents as a way to say thank you
