它聽起來一點也不奇異,不神祕,不科技也 不未來,它似乎違反了當代科幻電影配樂的 所有標準。
但很驚人的,它卻展現了前所未有的作用, 它讓在太空中飄浮旋轉的輪形太空站,在無 重力的世界裏翩然起舞,它也讓太空旅程變 得如此優雅,怡人與高貴,從此以後, 科幻電影配樂再也不一樣了.

女主角在垂暮之年,憶述自己的非洲經歷, 也想起了生命中難忘的那個男人(丹尼斯): 「他外出狩獵時還不忘帶著留聲機,三把來 福槍,一個月的口糧和莫札特。」莫札特的 A大調單簧管協奏曲(Concerto for clarinet and orchestra in A (K.622) )第二樂章優雅 地在空中飄盪著。
電影歌曲
電影歌曲的產生可以分為兩種:一種是配合 劇情採用非原創的歌曲,另一種是根據電影 內容特別譜寫的原創歌曲。
非原創歌曲--電影《不能說的秘密》 採用了流行於60年代的歌曲《情人的眼淚》。
原創歌曲--電影《菊花台》歌曲《菊花台》 原創歌曲--電影《不能說的秘密》
歌曲《不能說的秘密》
電影音樂發展史
辯士:台灣早期的默片,除了有樂隊現場的演出,還 有個特殊的人物『辯士』 。
『辯士』是從日文『辯護士』 發展出來的名詞,每 當電播放時,辯士會在一旁同時解說劇情,或是揣摩 劇中角色的音調,替演員說出對白,幫助觀眾更融入 劇情。
優秀的辯士在當時甚至比演員更受觀眾愛戴,是戲院 的活招牌,左右著電影的票房!
【奥斯卡获奖电影和电影人(十一)】第58届最佳影片
第58届最佳影片最佳影片《走出非洲》(OutofAfrica)-SydneyPollack《走出非洲》(OutofAfrica)是丹麦女作家伊萨克·迪内森(IsakDinesen)的自传性小说。
后来,小说《走出非洲》被搬上银幕,由美国知名电影导演西德尼·波拉克(SydneyPollack)执导,并在1986年获得奥斯卡金像奖。
影片《走出非洲》电影《走出非洲》由西德尼·波拉克(SydneyPollack)导演,根据丹麦女作家伊萨克·迪内森(Isak海报(3张)Dinesen)的小说《走出非洲》(OutofAfrica)改编而成。
片中蕴含有动人的浪漫故事,又有迷人的非洲海报(3张)风光。
外景在肯尼亚实地拍摄。
几位演技派大明星梅丽尔斯特里普、罗伯特雷德福、克劳斯马里亚勃莱德尔联袂主演,把一个具有传奇、浪漫色彩的故事和人物的情感纠葛诠释得酣畅淋漓,感人肺腑。
该影片获得奖项第五十八届奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳摄影、最佳音乐、最佳音响、最佳艺术指导七项大奖(1986)。
《走出非洲》是一部表现得而复失-丧失了像田园诗一般美好、质朴生活的影片。
它是以追溯往事的倒叙手法开始的:梅丽尔.斯特里普扮演的女主人公艾萨克.丹森已届垂暮之年,且已成为小说家,但她在丹麦故居终日缅怀往昔在东非肯尼亚度过的十几个春秋。
当画面上出现她已故的情人芬奇.哈顿持枪行猎电影剧照(11张)的身影时,艾萨克以低沉的声音述说过去。
电影剧照(11张)接着影片以闪回镜头表现1913年年轻时代的艾萨克。
那时她名叫卡伦·布里克森,是丹麦一个富家女,她美丽、聪颖、性情深沉、感情丰富、但虚荣心较强。
为了博得一个男爵夫人的称号,她不惜远离丹麦故乡而到东非肯尼亚去找在那里定居的表哥、瑞典男爵布罗布里克森,并和他结婚。
布罗是个不务正业的浪荡子,终日热衷于狩猎和谈论当时已发生的第一次世界大战,另外还玩弄女人。

男扮女装电影大盘点
男扮女装电影大盘点施志建整理好莱坞的男扮女装电影有相当长的传统了,从梦露参演过的《热情似火》,到达斯汀·霍夫曼的《窈窕淑男》,到《小姐好白》等等,几乎每部影片都在充分显示好莱坞无与伦比的化妆技术。
除了填充胸部这样必须的小手段,这种类型片的关键是找到合适的演员,然后根据需要进行大改良,比如脸型小、身材苗条等等。
玩男扮女装最难的就是制作人物面具,如何平衡男性的刚硬和女性的柔和,如何将面具的颜色变成正常白人的脸色,本片将展示出一个登峰造极的大换脸妆容。
☺《热情如火》(Some Like It Hot)【导演】比利·怀尔德(Billy Wilder)【主要演员】玛丽莲梦露(Marilyn Monroe)托尼柯蒂斯 (Tony Curtis)杰克莱蒙 (Jack Lemmon)乔治拉夫特 (George Raft)【奖项】奥斯卡最佳服装设计奖【简介】男扮女装的题材,历久弥新。
世纪之交的新千年,美国电影机构评选出20世纪100部最佳喜剧。
倾倒众生的玛丽莲·梦露主演的《热情如火》战胜了美国喜剧之王查理·卓别林的《摩登时代》荣登榜首。
该片改编自百老汇音乐剧“Sugar”。
时间背景在1929年禁酒令风行时期。
片中男主角都不约而同男扮女装,改变身份,与梦露发生错体情缘。
这种巧妙设计,不仅让两位男主演施展了精湛的演技,也颠覆了性别意识,堪称这类影片的先驱之作。
梦露的银幕形象仍维持一贯的性感风骚、天真纯情,扮演诱人的歌手,可说是她最性感的一次演出。
剧情讲述在1929年,动荡的芝加哥时常有强盗集团的骚扰。
在乐团工作的乔和杰利,因在偶然的机会中目击盗匪史巴克的手下在车库内射杀了告密者,而被穷追不舍。
正好一女性乐团需要他们这样的人才,于是二人便男扮女装加入,随之抵达迈阿密才躲过了追杀。
该团有位美丽的女郎,名叫秀珈,乔知道她想要一个有钱的金龟胥,便抓住这一弱点自称为石油王的公子企图得到她的芳心。

《走出非洲》读后感
《走出非洲》读后感《走出非洲》读后感1生命的意义是什么,在很大程度上,源于我们人类自身不断的探索。
无数哲学家、思想家都曾为生命的意义作过解释,但却没有定论。
《走出非洲》是一部讲述一位丹麦女性在非洲殖民地生活的名著,它通过描写女主人翁在非洲波折的生活经历,对生命的意义提出了疑问,并引发读者对生命意义的思考。
年轻貌美的卡伦为了拥有一个男爵夫人称号,远离自己的家乡,去东非肯尼亚与瑞典男爵布洛尔·布里克森结婚。
他们互不相爱,如同他们说的,一个为了男爵夫人称号,一个为了免费女佣,这也为她日后爱上丹尼斯埋下伏笔。
卡伦给我的第一印象很差,完全是个贪图权势的女人,然而随着剧情开展,我却被她英勇无畏的精神感动。
她不愿意屈服于命运,她勇敢、执着、富有爱心,有奉献精神。
在非洲经营农场期间,她是白人、男爵夫人、庄园主人,在那个时代与背景下,她却从未用俯视、优越、有色的眼光去看待殖民地的.人、事、物,即使在面对土著的误解时,她依然以一种平和、好奇、欣赏的态度与这片土地交流、融合。
“辽阔风景线上的渺小生灵,他们才称得上是真正的非洲。
”她用心倾情去观察非洲的每一个生灵,即便是非洲的一棵树,她都能像一位知己般,道出它们的背后故事,尤其是她眼中的土著人,仿若发光的精灵,也仿若镀金的菩萨,具有古老哲学的精神和对生活朴实的热爱。
卡伦是真切地爱着这片土地,她早就在这片土地选好了墓地,她死后也要葬在这片土地上。
可惜后来种种发生,离婚、情人离世、庄园遭遇天灾等等,让她不得不出售庄园,变卖家具,离开非洲。
在她离开之前,还为其庄园的佃农奔走,直至找到一片收留他们所有人的土地,甚至为了实现打铁工人拥有一枚戒指的愿望,她变实家具才凑足钱买一枚镶有红宝石的戒指,作为打铁工人的临别礼物。
“当我回首在非洲的最后那段岁月,我依稀感到那些没有生命的东西都远远先于我预示了我的离别。
那一座座山峦,那一片片森林,那一处处草原,那一道道河流,以及旷野里的风,都知道我们即将分手。

《大玩家》影评10篇
《大玩家》影评10篇《大玩家》是一部由罗伯特·奥特曼执导,蒂姆·罗宾斯 / 格列塔·斯卡奇 / 弗莱德·沃德主演的一部剧情 / 喜剧 / 犯罪类型的电影,特精心从网络上整理的一些观众的影评,希望对大家能有帮助。
《大玩家》影评(一):长镜头太帅电影开篇是一个令人惊艳的长长的镜头,让人眼花缭乱,把视线钉在电影荧幕上,影片对好莱坞工业电影制片业的挖苦很有趣,非常妙,在这场游戏里,玩的究竟是电影还是制作电影的人,难说。
客串阵容真的是太华美太强大了,也许这就是在好莱坞工作的一种好处吧,美中缺乏的是后半段稍微有些沉闷,没有前半场好看《大玩家》影评(二):我不属于那个年代,原谅我对此片爱得不深。
一部开头望不到结尾的片,节奏快,是我的菜。
精彩台词之一:“伯特我是拉里.李维我希望你最好已经不记得我了但如果记得我希望也没有什么不好的印象我当时是给加斯纳工作的〞精彩对白之二:“是我邦妮啊我们是朋友啊。
〞“你不明白我不仅仅代表我我还有工作〞台词要在情境中才能明白其精妙。
看完了,只是挖苦吗?我不属于那个年代,原谅我对此片爱得不深。
《大玩家》影评(三):到底是反讽还是自嘲呢?前半段看起来像是极度精准写实剧,但是中间开始转变成剧情,最后又一转,转成表达诡计套层剧中剧。
说是锋利也好,不止深刻揭批了好莱坞制片工业,连自己也不放过,结尾的大间离厚道地告诉观众,神马都是浮云。
而说是妥协也好,观众对电影真实性的信任是被摧毁了,但剧本毕竟是在说一个聪明的好故事,那点回味会把留给观众的那点想头都给转移了吧。
《大玩家》影评(四):The Player格里芬·米尔是好莱坞一家大制片公司的制片人。
最近,新任监制就要上任,米尔感到自己的地位将受到威胁。
而在此时,他又不断收到一些匿名恐吓信,他疑心是被他退过稿的编剧干的。
他找到其中一个名叫戴维·卡亨的家伙,谁知在剧烈的争吵中,卡亨竟意外死亡。
电影走出非洲
电影名称: 走出非洲英文名称: Out of Africa地区: 美国影片类别: 爱情/ 剧情/导演: 悉尼·波拉克(Sydney Pollack)主要演员: 罗伯特·雷德福(Robert Redford) 梅丽尔·斯特里普(Meryl Streep)剧情介绍《走出非洲》是一部表现得而复失-丧失了像田园诗一般美好、质朴生活的影片。
梅丽尔.斯特里普扮演的女主人公卡伦是丹麦的一个富家女,她美丽、聪颖、性情深沉、感情丰富,但虚荣心较强。
为了博得男爵夫人的称号,负气之下与远在非洲的布里克森男爵结婚。
卡伦对非洲的原始森林、野生动物十分感兴趣,并因此认识了英国人丹尼斯。
后者在一次偶然的机会帮助她脱离狮口,两人成为了朋友并互相欣赏。
布里克森男爵生活极其放荡,并因此得了梅毒,还传染给了卡伦。
为了治病,卡伦不得不回丹麦,归来后布里克森男爵已离家出走,俩人的婚姻名存实亡。
此后卡伦与丹尼斯的关系更见密切,两人时常同游非洲大草原,度过了一段美好的时光。
卡伦独立经营非洲的农场,还为当地土著人办起了学校,并为此倾注了极大的爱心和精力。
不幸的是在1930年,她刚刚丰收的咖啡园惨遭火灾,几乎烧成灰烬。
因经济拮据,她不得不卖出庄园。
祸不单行,此时打算和她长期厮守的丹尼斯却因驾机失事坠入山谷而丧生。
在经济和感情上的双重打击下,卡伦不得不告别度过了她青春岁月的非洲,满怀哀怨和怅惘离开了她这片曾经带给他痛苦、爱情和勇气的土地……。
她永远不会忘记,丹尼斯在打猎时还带着留声机,他带着“3支来复枪,一个月的干粮,还有莫扎特……”。
影片根据丹麦女作家艾萨克·丹森的同名自传体小说《走出非洲》改编。
原著与原作者在西方文坛知名度很高,海明威在1954年接受诺贝尔文学奖时曾说:“如果那位美丽的小说家艾萨克·丹森接受过这个奖,我今天就更加感到高兴了。
”“在非洲恩共山脚下,我曾经有一个农场……”。
梅丽尔斯特里普低沉而略带沙哑的嗓音在缓缓的讲述着自己曾经的悠悠岁月,不带一丝情感,就好像是在谈论别人的经历,又好像是在追忆一个古老的传说,而不是生命中最宝贵的17年青春年华,不是一段烙下了爱与恨,泪水和欢笑的人生记忆。

Her life is Complicated by a husband of convenience (Bror Blixen), a true love (Denys), troubles on the plantation, schooling of the natives, war, and catching VD from her husband.Karen Blixen, a Danish woman, marries a friend for the title of Baroness and they move to Africa and start a coffee plantation. Things unfold when her husband begins cheating on her and is away on business often, so she's at home alone, working on the farm and bonding with two men she met in her first day in Africa. She eventually falls in love with the one, Denys Finch-Hatton and goes on safari and whatnot with him. Later, she begins to want more from him than the simple friendship/relationship they have and pushes marriage, but Denys still wants his freedom. By the end, she's gained a much better understanding and respect for the African culture than when she came.A study of the life of Danish noblewoman and storyteller Karen ('Isak') Dinesen Blixen, from her marriage and departure for Kenya in 1913 until her return to Denmark in 1931. As she struggles to maintain a coffee farm through various struggles and disasters, and strives to improve relations with the local natives, her marriage of convenience to a titled aristocrat gradually gives way to an enduring romance with the noted hunter and adventurer Denys Finch Hatton.III. The comment (60 points)OUT OF AFRICA is based on the memoirs of Danish writer Karen Blixen (pen name, Isak Dinesen) in a coffee plantation in present day Kenya. It explains how this brave woman overcomes the stereotype of a dainty, colonial British lady by running the coffee farm while her husband Bror Blixen (Brandauer) led a life of hunting and infidelities. Meryl Streep is great as Karen Blixen. She manages to maintain therealistic Danish accent through the whole film. Redford is great as Denys Finch-Hatton, the Etonian hunter who keeps companion in her loneliest and hardest. But the real attraction of the film is he outstanding photography of the African landscape together with the sweeping John Barry soundtrack that is probably the most beautiful movie soundtrack of the 1980s. OUT OF AFRICA will be regarded as Sydney Pollack's asterpiece and a Classic of our times。

A tomato doesn't have logic! A tomato can't move!Dorsey: "That's what I said! So if he can't move, how's he gonna sit down, George?VOICE ONE:Later, Michael Dorsey proves his agent wrong. He dresses up like a woman and gets a job acting on a popular daytime television series.VOICE TWO:"Tootsie" was a huge success. But filming it was not easy. Hoffman and Pollack argued about the movie. Pollack wanted to bring attention to the love affair between the two main characters. Hoffman wanted to make a funnier version of the story. The movie cost more money and took more time to make than it was supposed to.But in the end, "Tootsie" received ten Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. It earned over one hundred and seventy million dollars in the United States.VOICE ONE:Sydney Pollack received an Emmyaward in 1966 for outstandingdirectorial achievementSydney Pollack made movies with big stars, high production values and often political or moral subjects. His movies were popular with the general public while also remaining sharply intelligent. He said that his movies were not about special effects and high technology action scenes. He said his movies were character driven stories defined by the performances of the actors.(MUSIC)VOICE TWO:Sydney Irwin Pollack was born in nineteen thirty-four in Lafayette, Indiana. His parents were Russian-Americans who met in college in Indiana.In high school, Sydney discovered his love of theater. He later moved to New York City to study at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater. Pollack studied there for two years, then continued working as an assistant to the head of the school's acting department. In nineteenfifty-eight, he married Claire Griswold.VOICE ONE:Sydney Pollack acted in many plays during this early part of his career. One person he met during these years was the actor Burt ncaster suggested that Pollack try directing instead of acting. Pollack later said that his time as an acting teacher helped him a great deal in developing his method as a director.VOICE TWO:During the nineteen sixties, Sydney Pollack began directing shows on television like "Ben Casey" and "Naked City."His first full-length movie, "The Slender Thread," came out in nineteen sixty-five, followed a year later by "This Property is Condemned." These were not successful.Then, in nineteen sixty-nine, Pollack directed "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" This movie tells an intense story about a group of people in a dance competition during the Great Depression in the nineteen thirties.Jane Fonda and Michael Sarrazin give powerful performances as two struggling contestants. The film received nine Academy Award nominations, including one for Pollack.VOICE ONE:Robert Redford starred in many of Pollack's movies. The two became friends in the early nineteen sixties.They worked together on seven movies.One is a western, "Jeremiah Johnson." Another is "The Way We Were" which stars the actress and singer Barbra Streisand.In "Three Days of the Condor" Robert Redford plays a worker at the Central Intelligence Agency who becomes caught in a deadly political plot.(MUSIC)VOICE TWO:Sydney Pollack's best movie is probably "Out of Africa" which was released in nineteen eighty-five. This beautifully filmed movie was based on a book by the Danish writer Karen Blixen about her life. She wrote the book under the name Isak Dinesen. She moved to Kenya in nineteen fourteen to buy land and operate a coffee-growing farm.Pollack's movie version brought to life the great love story between Baroness Blixen and the big-game hunter Denys Finch Hatton.Two of the biggest stars of the nineteen eighties, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, play the lovers. Here they meet for the first time.Karen Blixen is looking at the wildlife on her land when her horse runs away. She sees a lion walking towards her.(SOUND)Finch Hatton: "I wouldn't run. If you do, she'll think you're something good to eat."Blixen: "Do you have a gun?"Finch Hatton: "She won't like the smell of you."Blixen: "Shoot it."Finch Hatton: "She's had breakfast."Blixen: "Please shoot her."Finch Hatton: "Let's give her a moment."Blixen: "Oh my God, shoot her!"(The lion walks away.)Blixen: "How much closer did you expect her to let her come?"Finch Hatton: "A bit. She wanted to see if you would run. That's how they decide -- a lot like people that way."Blixen: "She almost had me for lunch!"Finch Hatton:" It wasn't her fault, baroness. She's a lion."VOICE ONE:"Out of Africa" won seven Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture for Sydney Pollack.Five years later, Pollack directed "Havana", also starring Robert Redford. This movie was followed by "The Firm" and "Sabrina."In two thousand five Pollack directed "The Interpreter" starring Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman. Part of the movie was filmed in the United Nations building in New York City. It is the only movie ever filmed inside the buildings of the UN General Assembly and Security Council.VOICE TWO:Sydney Pollack once said that he backed into filmmaking and never actually trained for the job. He said that directing movies made him very tense. He noted that everyfifteen-minute period in making a movie represents thousands of dollars, so a director is concerned about the clock every minute.VOICE ONE:Pollack also produced many films during his long career. He started a production company called Mirage Productions in the nineteen eighties.He said that he liked the creative part of being a producer. And he said he liked producing because not getting the praise or the blame for a movie was a big relief.His production credits include "Sense and Sensibility", "The Talented Mister Ripley" and "Cold Mountain."He also produced "Michael Clayton" which was nominated for Best Picture in two thousand eight.In two thousand five, he directed and produced "Sketches of Frank Gehry," a documentary about the famous architect. Here, Pollack talks about his friendship with Frank Gehry.Sydney Pollack: "Frank's got his own original and sort of perverse way of doing things. We've been friends for several years. We spend a lot of time together bemoaning the difficulties of trying to find personal expressiveness within disciplines that makes stringent commercial demands. Several people approached him with the idea of making a documentary about him. When he asked me if I'd do it, I thought he was crazy. It's not just that I didn't know anything about making documentaries, I didn't even know anything about architecture. That's why you're perfect, he said."(SOUND)VOICE TWO:Throughout his career, Sydney Pollack never stopped acting. He said that once in a while he could not resist being able to spy on other directors by acting in their films. He said that he learned new methods and techniques from these directors. Pollack has played many kinds of roles in movies such as "Husbands and Wives" directed by Woody Allen; "Eyes Wide Shut", directed by Stanley Kubrick, and "The Player", directed by Robert Altman. He even made appearances in television shows such as "Will and Grace" and "Entourage."In "Michael Clayton" Pollack plays a high-powered lawyer named Marty Bach. He is head of a group of lawyers involved in a difficult case. Here is a scene with Pollack and George Clooney who plays one of the lawyers, Michael Clayton.(SOUND)Marty:"Everybody knows how valuable you are, Michael, everyone who needs to know."Michael: "I'm forty-five years old and I'm broke. I've been riding shotgun for twelve years and I got no equity. I'm sorry,I don't feel reassured."Marty:" Nobody told you to go into the bar business."Michael:" I only opened it so that I have something else, I'd have a way out."Marty: "I had no idea that you were so unhappy."Michael: "How many times did I ask you to put me back on a litigation team."Marty: "Hey, anyone can go to court, you think that's so special?"Michael:" I was good at it!"Marty: "Wonderful, so are a lot of people. At this, what you do, you're great."VOICE ONE:Later in his career, Pollack was involved in many film and acting organizations. For example, he served as director of the Actors Studio West in Los Angeles, California and as a chairman for the American Cinematheque.Sydney Pollack died of cancer at his home in Los Angeles, California in two thousand eight. He was seventy-three years old. His many films will continue to influence generations of movie lovers.(MUSIC)VOICE TWO:This program was written and produced by Dana Demange.
