《花木兰》英文影评
the feeling after reading Mulan This morning,I sat on the chair near the window and listened to the birds ,reading this book—Mulan .I have heard hundreds of times.I can say, she was with me throughout my childhood. But every time I pick up this book ,I always have more feelings.
Hua Mulan,as we all know,she was a brave woman.Since she was born,she have had an optimistic nature and a strong heart,just like a boy. As the Emperor called up a man in every family to the battleground .At that time her father was ill and old and her brother was only a little boy.So Mulan decided to join the fight resolutely instead of her father.
Why Mulan can become a general but others can’t? We can think this question in our mind.Why? Because she has a brave
heart! On the battleground,she didn’t fear the enemies.She shouted to her army.She fighted the emery courageously,countless enemies stepped by her foot.She saved the endless national dignity and honour. All her battle companions thought she was a real man!
In the army,nobody knew she was a woman in fact.In my eyes,This brave woman is more man than a real man instead.
If you have a brave heart,you won’t fear the difficulties in your life. However,how can we have a brave heart?We all know,failure is the mother of success.When we go through some difficulties,we will have a brave heart.By then,you will not fear the difficulties,the competition,and even the enemies.

今天早上读了《木兰》后的感觉,我坐在靠近窗户的椅子上,听着鸟儿们在读这本书——木兰。我已经听了几百遍了。我可以说,她在我的整个童年都和我在一起。但每次我拿起这本书,我总是有更多的感觉。
花木兰,我们都知道,她是一个勇敢的女人。自从她出生以来,她有一个乐观的天性和坚强的心,就像一个男孩。当皇帝召集每个家庭中的一个男人到战场上时,她的父亲又老又病,而她的弟弟还只是个小男孩。因此木兰决定代替父亲毅然参加战斗。
为什么木兰可以成为将军而其他人不能?我们可以在脑海中思考这个问题。为什么?因为她很勇敢。
在战场上,她不怕敌人。她向她的军队高呼。她勇敢地与金刚砂战斗,无数的敌人踩在她的脚下。她拯救了无尽的民族尊严和荣誉。她所有的战友都认为她是个真正的男人!
在军队里,没有人知道她实际上是个女人。在我看来,这个勇敢的女人与其说是个真正的男人,不如说是个男人。
如果你有一颗勇敢的心,你就不会害怕生活中的困难。但是,我们怎么能有一颗勇敢的心呢?我们都知道,失败是成功之母。当我们经历一些困难时,我们会有一颗勇敢的心。到那时,你将不再害怕困难、竞争,甚至敌人。

③ 木兰诗的手抄报怎么做
先划分版面进行排版,然后将如下文字进行筛选放入手抄报,最后加上图片和边框进行美化就可以了。
《木兰诗》是一首北朝民歌,宋郭茂倩《乐府诗集》归入《横吹曲辞·梁鼓角横吹曲》中。这是一首长篇叙事诗,全诗以“木兰是女郎”来构思木兰的传奇故事,富有浪漫色彩;详略安排极具匠心,虽然写的是战争题材,但着墨较多的却是生活场景和儿女情态,富有生活气息;以人物问答及铺陈、排比、对偶、互文等手法描述人物情态,刻画人物心理,生动细致,神气跃然,使作品具有强烈的艺术感染力。
此诗在写法上运用了较多的修辞手法,主要是对偶、排比及互文。其中互文是此诗极有特色的修辞手法,在刻画人物心理、塑造人物形象、渲染气氛等方面起了很大作用。如“开我东阁门,坐我西阁床”二句,单从字面上看是不合逻辑的,上下文互文互补而增义:“开我东阁门,坐我东阁床;开我西阁门,坐我西阁床。”由于互文手法的运用,省略了时间的推移和地点的转换,表现了木兰一别十年回到家中,迫不及待地到这里坐坐,到那里看看,看到曾经熟悉的一切,心中既充满亲切之感,又有说不清的滋味。含不尽之意于言外,通过动作细节的描写,刻画人物心理。又如“当窗理云鬓,对镜贴花黄”二句,如果把“当窗”和“对镜”分开理解,显然不合女子梳妆的实情。“当窗理云鬓”应“对镜”,“对镜贴花黄”也要“当窗”。这里的互文手法如同“蒙太奇”一样变换镜头,表现了木兰脱下戎装的动作之迅速、麻利,渲染了她经过十年的军旅生涯,急切地想找回女儿家感觉的兴奋之情。再如“将军百战死,壮士十年归”二句,对偶兼用互文,高度概括了十年征战的旷日持久和激烈悲壮,突出了木兰出生入死,英勇善战的英雄形象。又如“雄兔脚扑朔,雌兔眼迷离”二句,“脚扑朔”是雄兔的特征,“眼迷离”是雌兔的特征,分辨雌雄本是一目了然的事,但二兔上述的特征兼而有之,就很难区别了。这里暗示木兰女扮男装,替父从军,和男人一样驰骋疆场,巾帼不让须眉,表现了木兰的机智勇敢,照应了上文“同行十二年,不知木兰是女郎”,使这个传奇式的女英雄的形象更加丰满,含蓄而富于浪漫色彩。又如“东市买骏马,西市买鞍鞯,南市买辔头,北市买长鞭”几句,排比兼用互文,表现出一种急促跳荡的节奏,一种跃跃欲试的意态,表现“可汗大点兵”的军情紧急,渲染了出征前的紧张气氛和木兰准备工作的繁忙而有序。这些互文手法的运用,不仅词约意丰,详略得当,而且从叙事上跨越时空,加快了情节的推进,使行文富于节奏感,跌宕生姿,增强了表达效果。
《木兰诗》是中国诗史上罕有的杰作,诗中首次塑造了一位替父从军的不朽的女英雄形象,既富有传奇色彩,而又真切动人。木兰既是奇女子又是普通人,既是巾帼英雄又是平民少女,既是矫健的勇士又是娇美的女儿。她勤劳善良又坚毅勇敢,淳厚质朴又机敏活泼,热爱亲人又报效国家,不慕高官厚禄而热爱和平生活。木兰完满具备了英雄品格与女性特点。天性善良勇敢,沉着机智,坚忍不拔,是木兰英雄品格之必要内涵,对父母对祖国之无限爱心和献身精神,则是其英雄品格之最大精神力量源泉。同时,全诗紧扣“木兰是女郎”,从“不闻爷娘唤女声”到“木兰不用尚书郎”,从“木兰当户织”到“着我旧时裳”,始终不失其为女性之特点。故木兰形象极为真实感人。《木兰诗》创具一种中国气派之喜剧精神,其特质,乃是中国人传统道德精神、乐观精神及幽默感之整合。这种中国气派之喜剧精神,实与以讽刺为特征的西方喜剧大不相同。《木兰诗》充分体现出中国民歌之天然特长,铺排、夸张、象声、悬念的突出运用,对于渲染气氛、刻划性格,效果极佳。

(5)英文电影手抄报花木兰扩展阅读
出处典故:
至于出生年代,姚莹在《康輶纪行》中说她是北魏孝文帝至宣武帝时人;宋翔凤的《过庭禄》中则说她是隋恭帝时人,程大昌的《演繁露》中则说她是唐初人。而根据北朝民歌《木兰辞》(又作《木兰诗》)等等的描述,对于花木兰的历史年代问题,目前有两种主要的民间说法是:
第一种说法是:北魏太武帝年间,花木兰替父从军,参加了北魏破柔然之战,木兰多次参与了北魏出击大漠兵伐柔然的战争,且表现突出,但却无人发现她是女子。战争结束后,朝廷欲授予她尚书郎,被她婉言拒绝。
第二种说法是:这种说法来自于清朝褚人获的小说《隋唐演义》。隋恭帝义宁年间,突厥犯边,木兰女扮男装,代父从军,征战疆场多载,屡建功勋。后与窦线娘交战被擒,线娘验明她女性身份,与之结为姐妹。
窦建德兵败,线娘请花木兰送信给罗成,木兰途中回乡探望父母,不巧被可汗得知花英雄为女儿身,要招其入宫。花木兰将书信交于妹妹花又兰,托她代为送信后自刎身亡。(《隋唐演义》第56、57、60回)
花木兰最早出现于南北朝一首叙事诗《木兰辞》中,该诗约作于南北朝的北魏,最初收录于南朝陈的《古今乐录》。僧人智匠在《古今乐录》称:“木兰不知名。”长300余字,后经隋唐文人润色。
巾帼英雄花木兰雕像明代文学家徐渭将《木兰诗》改编为《雌木兰替父从军》,剧中自称“妾身姓花名木兰,祖上在西汉时,以六郡良家子,世住河北魏郡。俺父亲名弧字桑之,平生好武能文,旧时也做一个有名的千夫长。
”自此,木兰的父亲叫花弧,姐姐叫花木莲,弟弟叫花雄,母亲是花袁氏。清代《曲海总目提要·雌木兰》也说:“木兰事虽详载古乐府。按明有韩贞女事,与木兰相类,渭盖因此而作也。木兰不知名,记内所称姓花名弧及嫁王郎事,皆系渭撰出。”
祖冲之《述异记》、李亢《异志》皆提到木兰姓花。一说为木兰本姓朱,清康熙年间的《黄陂县志》曰:“木兰,本县朱氏女,生于唐初,……假男子代父从军,……至今其家犹在木兰山下。”
焦竑在其《焦氏笔乘》中也说道:“木兰,朱氏女子,代父从征。今黄州黄陂县北七十里,即隋木兰县。有木兰山、将军冢、忠烈庙,足以补《乐府题解》之缺。”但有木兰是姓魏的说法,也有一说为木兰姓韩。另据《新唐书》载:“少女木兰,姓任”。

A big problem ", hand written film express"
1、由打赌而发明的电影放影机
By 1, and the invention of the movie projector bet
如今,电影作为一种大众娱乐方式,已经融入我们的生活当中。但是,你是否知道当初电影的发明是为了裁判一次打赌?也许,我们要感谢那次打赌,感谢它给我们带来的电影。 1872年的一天,在美国加利福尼亚州一个酒店里,斯坦福与科恩发生了激烈的争执:马奔跑时蹄子是否都着地?斯坦福认为奔跑的马在跃起的瞬间四蹄是腾空的;科恩却认为,马奔跑时始终有一蹄着地。争执的结果谁也说服不了谁,于是就采取了美国人惯用的方式打赌来解决。他们请来一位驯马好手来做裁决,然而,这位裁判员也难以断定谁是谁非。这很正常,因为单凭人的眼睛确实难以看清快速奔跑的马蹄是如何运动的。 裁判的好友———英国摄影师麦布里奇知道了这件事后,表示可由他来试一试。他在跑道的一边安置了24架照相机,排成一行,相机镜头都对准跑道;在跑道的另一边,他打了24个木桩,每根木桩上都系上一根细绳,这些细绳横穿跑道,分别系到对面每架照相机的快门上。
Now, as a form of mass entertainment, film has been integrated into our lives. But, did you know that the invention of the film is to judge a bet? Perhaps, we want to thank the bet, thank you for the movie we brought. One day 1872. In California, a hotel, Stanford and Cohen happened a heated argument: hoof is a horse running? Stanford says running horse in the leap moment hooves is vacated; Cohen thinks, horse running always have a hoof. The outcome of the dispute can not convince anyone, so he took a bet on the way Americans used to settle. They hired a horse players to make a decision, however, the referee also cannot decide which is right and which is wrong. This is normal, because the person's eyes do not see the fast running of the horseshoe is how to exercise. The friends -- British photographer Mai Buri knew about the matter, said by him to try. He placed the on the side of the runway 24 camera, in a row, the camera lens are aligned with the runway. On the other side of the runway, he played 24 wood piles, each timber are tie a piece of string, the string across the track, respectively, the Department of to the opposite each camera shutter.
一切准备就绪后,麦布里奇牵来了一匹漂亮的骏马,让它从跑道一端飞奔到另一端。当跑马经过这一区域时,依次把24根引线绊断,24架照相机的快门也就依次被拉动而拍下了24张照片。麦布里奇把这些照片按先后顺序剪接起来。每相邻的两张照片动作差别很小,它们组成了一条连贯的照片带。裁判根据这组照片,终于看出马在奔跑时总有一蹄着地,不会四蹄腾空,从而判定科恩赢了。 按理说,故事到此就应结束了,但这场打赌及其判定的奇特方法却引起了人们很大的兴趣。麦布里奇一次又一次地向人们出示那条录有奔马形象的照片带。一次,有人无意识地快速牵动那条照片带,结果眼前出现了一幕奇异的景象:各张照片中那些静止的马叠成一匹运动的马,它竟然“活”起来了!
After everything is ready, Mai Buri brought a beautiful horse, let it run from one end to the other end of the runway. When the horse racing through this area, in turn, the 24 lead to break down, the 24 camera shutter is pulled and took 24 photos. Bridge put the photos in sequence. Each of these two images is very small, and they form a coherent picture of each. Referee according to this group of photos, finally see the horse in the run there is always a hoof on the ground, not Siti vacant to determine Cohen won. Could said story here may be over, but the bet and the judgement of the strange way has caused people's great interest. Mai Buri once again to show people that recorded horse photo image. Once, someone unconscious quickly affect the photo belt appeared in front of the a singular sight: the picture in the stationary horse folded into a sport horse horse, it unexpectedly "live" up!
生物学家马莱从这里得到启迪。他试图用照片来研究动物的动作形态。当然,首先得解决连续摄影的方法问题,因为麦布里奇的那种摄影方式太麻烦了,不够实用。马莱是个聪明人,经过几年的不懈努力后,终于在1888年制造出一种轻便的“固定底片连续摄影机”,这就是现代摄影机的鼻祖了。从此之后,许多发明家将眼光投向了电影摄影机的研制上。1895年12月28日,法国人卢米埃尔兄弟在巴黎的“大咖啡馆”第一次用自己发明的放映摄影兼用机放映了《火车到站》影片,标志电影的正式诞生。
Biologist Marlay get inspiration from here. He tried to use pictures to study the animal's movement. Of course, first of all have to solve the problem of continuous photography, because the way Bridge's photography is too cumbersome, not practical. Malai is a wise man, after several years of unremitting efforts, finally in 1888 to proce a light "fixed film for the camera", which is the ancestor of modern cameras. From then on, many inventors are looking at the development of the movie camera. On December 28, 1895, French Lumiere brothers in Paris "Coffee Museum" for the first time with his invention of the projection photography al-purpose machine show the "train" in the movie, the film marks the formally birth.
当然,19世纪末电影的诞生从根本上说是科学技术与艺术相结合的综合产物,在电影诞生之前,许多发明家已经为电影的诞生做过艰苦的工作和基础性的贡献。除上面所提到的科学发明家外,还有许多,如美国的大发明家爱迪生等。而斯坦福与科恩的打赌事件如同使这些科学技术糅合在一起发生巨变的催化剂,迅速导致了电影综合技术的出现和产生,使电影这门伟大的艺术叩响了20世纪的大门。
, of course, the birth of film in the end of the 19th century fundamentally said is the comprehensive result of the combination of science and technology and art, before the birth of the film, many inventors have the birth of the film made a contribution of hard work and basic. In addition to the above mentioned scientific inventor, there are many, such as the United States of America's great inventor, Edison, et al. And Stanford and Cohen's gambling events as make the blend of scientific technology in along with the change of catalyst, quickly led to film and proce, movie the great art of knocking the door of the 20th century.
⑦ 求动画片《花木兰》英语影评
I really held back from Disney's later animated features, most of them started to slid down hill after The Lion King, excluding The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but it seemed like Mulan was going to be a disappointment for Disney. It turned out to be an actual pleasure watching this film. It had great animation, a good soundtrack, and a wonderful story about courage and strength.
Mulan is a girl in China who is ready for marriage but seems like she isn't ready to settle down in this man's world where she must have permission to speak and only cook and please her husband. When her father is called to war, she fears for his life and dresses like him and fights in his place disguised as him. Mushu, her "guardian" dragon per say, comes to help her out and make sure she doesn't get herself killed out there in battle. She also falls for the captain that doesn't kill her when he finds out her secret.
It is a visually stunning masterpiece that I am glad that I had a chance to watch. It had great morals and values for children, even if it was a bit unrealistic, we have to let go. Still, I don't think a film will compare yet to The Lion King or Beauty and The Beast, but Mulan is a treasure of it's own.

⑨ 求一篇描写电影花木兰的英文文章!
Disney turned East seeking inspiration and found it in Mulan, a thoughtful coming-of-age adventure story about a brave and clever daughter risking her life to save her ailing father in Imperial China. Having fun with the comic possibilities of cross-dressing and gender confusions, this beautifully animated feature places its title character in armor and eventually into the thick of battle, with the stakes no less than the fate of her country. Based on a popular Chinese legend (similar to that of Joan of Arc, but with a kinder conclusion), Mulan is that rarity in any patriarchal culture, a genuine heroine celebrated for breaking the conventions of her sex.
Mulan tries to honor her family the traditional way, letting her mother and grandmother powder her face white and dress her like a China doll in preparation for her interview with the matchmaker, but she utterly fails to please the pompous power broker e to the unintentional interference of her 'good luck' cricket (a close, though mute, cousin to Jimminy). Presented in song with amusing lyrics and overtones of Gigi, this comedy of errors evolves into fairly serious drama. Mulan is deeply ashamed at her failure to bring honor to her family in the only way her society deems possible.
She discovers, however, that her father still believes in her. Beneath the gentle canopy of a cherry blossom tree, he tells her that 'the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.' In this one scene, directors Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft poignantly establish the powerful bond between the tiful but independent-minded daughter and her conventional but compassionate, aged father.
When Mulan learns that the Emperor is demanding one male volunteer from every family to fight the Hun invaders, she secretly cuts her hair, dons her father's armor, takes his sword and rides off in his place. Dramatically staged without dialogue, this is the film's most stirring sequence.
That's where Eddie Murphy comes in, as the voice of Mushu, Mulan's diminutive, streetwise, would-be guardian dragon. Though less witty than Robin Williams in Aladdin, Murphy breathes some edgy, contemporary humor into his toon with attitude. In a wonderfully funny meeting of Mulan's ancestral spirits, the demoted Mushu is sent to notify a 'real' guardian dragon to protect the inexperienced young warrior. But Mushu seizes the opportunity to prove himself by attempting to make Mulan a war hero. Though romance is secondary in the story, Mulan does fall in love with her hunky commanding officer, Captain Shang, who nearly drops his slender recruit until he/she uses her intelligence to complete a daunting task, in a G.I. Jane moment.
As usual, Disney animators succeed in creating a stylishly scary villain-in this case, the monolithic, square-faced Hun leader Shan-Yu, whose yellow eyes gleam with hate. Mulan, with her grace under fire, prevails against this seemingly invincible enemy, but not without some interesting setbacks, including her rejection by Shang and her three army buddies-Ling, Chien Po and Yao-after they find out that 'she' is a woman.
Soon after Mulan enlists, there's a Yentl-like scene in which she is bathing in a pond, only to be joined by this trio of boisterous cohorts. Although she deftly makes her getaway before blowing her cover, it makes for some wry comic suspense. Late in the film, the roles are reversed, as Ling, Chien Po and Yao discover that cross-dressing can serve their martial purposes as well.
With its striking computer-assisted visuals, such as the nearly 3D Great Wall of China that opens the film, and the massive attack of the Huns that recalls the wildebeest stampede in The Lion King, Mulan sets new standards in animation. But it is in the subtlety of its characters' 'acting' that Mulan excels. As has been noted in the past, Disney's cartoon characters show more vitality than many flesh-and-blood actors in non-animated films, and Mulan's are no exception.
But, of course, actors invest these character with life, and all of Mulan's voices do their drawings proud. Ming-Na Wen lends Mulan vulnerability and grit, and Lea Salonga provides as lovely a singing voice for her as she did for Princess Jasmine in Aladdin. B.D. Wong (Seven Years in Tibet) as Shang and Donny Osmond as his singing voice team up to make one virile but multi-faceted drill sergeant. Harvey Fierstein's inimitable gravely voice adds character to the macho, pint-sized Yao, and Miguel Ferrer (recently of television's 'Lateline') fuels Shan-Yu's villainy.
While Stevie Wonder and 98% let you leave the theatre buoyed by Matthew Wilder and David Zippel's 'True to Your Heart,' the other Wilder/Zippel songs in Mulan are less memorable. Veteran Jerry Goldsmith's score, however, adds urgency and emotion to the narrative.
As the Emperor (Pat Morita) tells Shang after Mulan rides back to her family, 'You don't meet a girl like that every dynasty.' He's right.

花木兰历史背景
北魏时期,北方游牧民族柔然族不断南下骚扰,北魏政权规定每家出一名男子上前线。但是木兰的父亲年事已高又体弱多病,无法上战场,家中弟弟年龄尚幼,所以,木兰决定替父从军,从此开始了她长达十几年的军旅生活。
去边关打仗,对于很多男子来说都是艰苦的事情,而木兰既要隐瞒身份,又要与伙伴们一起杀敌,这就比一般从军的人更加艰难。
可喜的是花木兰最终还是完成了自己的使命,在数十年后凯旋回家。皇帝因为她的功劳之大,赦免其欺君之罪,同时认为她有能力在朝廷效力,任得一官半职。
然而,花木兰因家有老父需要照顾拒绝了,请求皇帝能让自己返乡,去补偿和孝敬父母。千百年来,花木兰一直是受中国人尊敬的一位女性,因为她又勇敢又纯朴。
