One cold day last November, my wife and I came home from work to a sick young daughter and we decided to stay at home for the night. Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July, the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre. We decided to sell them online for $50. One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets. Since the time was limited, I told Peter to pay me the next day. Peter seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye.However, a month later, Peter still didn’t pay me back. A few more weeks passed. Another month. There’d been one e-mail promising to mail the check, then silence.Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought. But truth was, Peter seemed to be having a pretty normal time. According to the pictures and messages on his Facebook, he had been playing golf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat. But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e-mai ls or messages. So I tried reaching him with my wife’s phone one night. And he didn’t pick up when I called,but texted right back, playfully wondering who might be calling him.“You should go to his office,”my wife said, “He would have to give you the mone y if all his coworkers were watching.”But I didn’t want to become a debt collector. My efforts to reachPeter over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way. My initial exchange with Peter had been just two regular people agreeing to handle things humanly. There was a rare niceness in that, and I still wanted to keep that balloon in the air, however disappointing it was starting to look. I wanted to believe we could still trust each other.1.For what reason did the author and his wife decide to sell the ticket?A. They thought it was too cold that night.B. They needed to look after their daughter.C. They wanted to save some money.D. They were going to be interviewed.2.On the night the author sold his tickets to Peter, he________.A. knew he might not get the $50.B. felt a little hesitant.C. thought he could trust Peter.D. was moved by Peter’s kindness.3.Why didn’t Peter pay the author back?A. Because he didn’t remember it.B. Because he was too busy to pay.C. Because he didn’t want to pay.D. Because he was having a tough time.4.What can we infer about the author?A. He would never trust strangers.B. He might call the police for help.C. He would go to Peter’s office to talk to him.D. He still hoped Peter would pay him back.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在网上把两张票卖给Peter,而Peter却迟迟不给钱,作者仍然希望Peter要讲诚信。

Appreciating CinemaPart One: Categorization of genresGenreSocial DramaRomanceGangsterWar filmScience fictionFantasyWesternDisasterCrimeEpicActionMusical_____________________________________________________________________ BlockbusterFilm noirComedy intended to generate laughterHorror intended to horrifyThriller intended to thrillPart Two: The basic storiesThere are a limited number of stories that form the basis for all fictional narratives.·Achilles Example: Superman·Candide Example: Forrest Gump·Cinderella Example:Pretty Woman·Circe Example:Fatal Attraction·Faust Example:Wall Street·Orpheus Example: Born on the Fourth of July·Romeo and Juliet Example: Shakespeare in Love, Ghost ·Tristan The Graduate·The Wandering Jew Example: The English PatientPart Three: The Classic Three-Act Linear Structure(经典三幕式直线结构)The majority of Hollywood films employs the classic three-act linear structure(or a variation of it). The three-act structure implies that the film can be divided into three acts. Act 1 would normally be expected to occupy the first quarter of the film; Act 2 would occupy the next half; and Act 3 would occupy the final quarter.Each act has a different function. For a typical two—hour Hollywood film, the act divisions would be as follows.Act Time FunctionAct 1 0-30 minutes set-upAct 2 30-90 minutes development (conflict and confrontation) Act 3 90-120 minutes resolution and denouncement(结局)Part Four: Alternative Narrative Structures·Episodic Structure章回式结构Episodic narratives follow the protagonist through a series of potentially unrelated adventures. As in thethree-act structure, there are definite turning points at which the fortunes of the protagonist turn from good to bad or vice versa; however, unlike the three-act structure, the number of such turning points is not limited. ·Hero’s Journey Structure英雄旅程结构The hero’s journey narrative forms the underlying narrative structure of many myths and legends; and it is also to be found in many successful Hollywood films. The narrative occurs in a number of stages, which can be simplified as follows:1.Call to adventure2.Journey through unfamiliar World3.Supreme ordeal4.Reward5.Return and reintegration into societyPart Five: SubplotMost Hollywood films have one or more subplots. Subplots are additional stories(secondary plots) that are linked to the main plot and have an influence upon it; they don’t require separate protagonists, but they do require separate actions.The relationship between the main plot and the subplotscan take any one of four forms. These are: ·Complementary·Contradictory·Setup·ComplicatingPart Six: Symbols and MotifsA symbol is something that stands for or suggests something else, usually on account of a relationship, association, convention or resemblance. A motif is a recurring feature or idea related to the theme of the film; frequently it will be a recurring symbol.Question:Symbols may have different meanings in China and the West. List some of the differencesDifferent symbolic values of colors, animals, and number symbols used in the Western cultural tradition alongside their possible meanings and their different symbolic values in the Chinese cultural tradition.Symbol Meaning in the West Meaning in China Red anger, sexuality, passion good fortune, happiness,prosperityWhite purity deathGreen envy, inexperience;the peace; the environment environmentYellow royal power and authority Owl wisdom bad luckLion majesty, strength, braveryDragon evil majesty, success, goodfortunePhoenix rebirth, resurrection good fortune,precious Turtle slowness longevityPeacock arrogance, vanity good fortune3the Trinity( God, Christ, the Holy Ghost)13Bad luck666 the Devil good luck8 wealth4 deathPart Seven: Identifying ThemeIn practical terms, how does one identify and interpret the theme of the film? Since theme is a complicated and variable phenomenon and can be expressed in so many forms, it isimpossible to give a step-by-step guide. However, it is still possible to outline some basic approaches:·The Title of the FilmFilms will commonly use titles to point out their themes. ·Names of CharactersScriptwriters may use the names of their characters to suggest both something about the characters themselves, and also something about the overall theme of the film. ·SymbolismSymbols, motifs, and symbolic settings may indicate the theme of the film.·Character ConflictThe theme may emerge from the conflict between characters, especially when the characters are representative of deeper values and attitudes.·Speeches and DialogueSpeeches may also indicate the themes of a film. In About a Boy, for example, the protagonist describes his theory of “island living”( i.e.a radically independent lifestyle) in a speech addressed directly to the audience. In fact, this leads directly to the theme:Absolute independence is an undesirable state.·SubplotsThe main plot carries the main burden of the narrative. The subplot, on the other hand, can be used more flexibly to explore the thematic implications of the film.·Social ContextThemes can emerge from the interaction of a film’s subject matter and its social context.Take Forrest Gump as example·Episodic Structure and Repetition(章回式结构和循环)The narrative structure of Forrest Gump is basically episodic: that is, it is made up of separate, loosely connected situations that occur in the life of the protagonist.What holds together the narrative is not the plot but the figure of Gump himself.Accompanying this episodic structure is a pattern of repetitions. The scene in which Gump is bullied by boys from his hometown is repeated a little later in his life, as is Jenny’s famous exhortation(告诫 ) to Forrest(Run, Forrest! Run). The act of getting on the school bus to find no one willing to offer a seat is also repeated when Gump sets off for Vietnam. Gump’s meetings with American presidents occur time after time, as do reports of assassinations of prominent figures in recenthistory. Perhaps the most profound repetition, though, is the birth of the young Forrest Gump and his own first trip on the school bus: This time the repetition is accompanied by a change for the better, as the young Gump has all the charm of his father with none of the stupidity. The overall effect of these repetitions is to create an sense of circularity---the reassuring feeling that history repeats itself.Plot and SubplotForrest Gump is something of an exception because the story of Gump’s life and the plot of the film are almost identical. That is to say, the main plot is , essentially, nothing more than the story of Gump’s life: Gump is born, goes to school, goes to college, goes to Vietnam, comes home and sets up a shrimping business, meets Jenny again, runs across the country, etc.The subplot, which deals largely with Jenny’s life story,is radically different. It gives a lot of clues as to what has happened to Jenny during the course of her life, but very little of this is actually shown. We infer that she has caught AIDS , but none of this information is part of the subplot itself. Exercise Use your knowledge of the different kinds of subplot to categorize the Jenny subplot.The Jenny subplot can be categorized as both: ·Complicating: Jenny is Gump’s love interest, and so is adriving force in the main plot. ·Contradictory: Jenny’s underlying motivation(intellectualcuriosity) and attitude to life(experimental)are opposite to those of GumpVogler’s Seven Character ArchetypesChristopher Vogler, formerly story analyst at Disney and nowdirector of Development at Fox 2000 publisheda book, The Writer’s Journey: MythicStructure for Storytellers and Screenwriters,which has been called “the current industrybible”.Vogler argues that there are seven basic character functions:hero, mentor(导师), threshhold guardian(关卡守卫者), herald(信使), shapeshift(变化者), shadow(影子), and trickster(骗子,魔术师).These characters functions are reallybest thought of as character archetypes: thatis , they are mythological types to whichhumans respond on a deep instinctive levelbecause they represent the basic unchangingfeatures of human experiences.HeroMentor:Threshhold GuardianHeraldShapeshiftShadowTricksterThe Devil Wears Prada comedygenre ComedyThe Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 comedy-drama film, a loose screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name.Answer the following questionsa) Why does Miranda decide to hire Andrea Sachs, a girl who lacksstyle and seems not to fit in there? B/c Andrea is different from thegirls Miranda always hires who are stylish,slender and worship themagazine, but turn out to be disappointing and stupid.b) What is Andrea’s attitude towards her job as Miranda’s assistant atRunway?At first ,she does not take the job seriously. Then sherealizes that if she wants to survive Miranda at Runway, she mustchange her attitude..She starts to respect Miranda’s style and putsforth her best efforts in the jobs.c) What is the reason for Andrea to leave Miranda and the Runway?Because Andrea learns that life is made of choices.She does not wantto live the way Miranda lives and then she chooses to pursue her ownlifestyle.Character AnalysisMiranda Priestly: demanding, a dragon lady, powerful, bossy, merciless,sophisticated, career-obsessedAndrea Sachs: naïve, idealistic, smart, perceptiveFashion runs through the movie as the overriding factor. A fashion magazine and its editor-in-chief provide the movie with the fundamental storyline.The cardinal rule dominating the fashion realm is “thinness”, which is ingeniously revealed in The Devil Wears Prada. Behind this obsession with one’s body image lies a pervasive problem of anorexia( ie, loss of the wish to eat)-------- one of the main types of eating disorders.Cast•Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs:•Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly:•Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton:•Stanley Tucci as Nigel:•Simon Baker as Christian Thompson:•Adrian Grenier as Nate Cooper: Andrea's boyfriend•Tracie Thoms as Lily: Andrea's close friend, who runs an art gallery.•Rich Sommer as Doug: A college friend of AndreaMemorable Lines1.Fashion is not about utility.

Miranda Priestly is the finest possible guardian of that beacon. Setting a standard that inspires people across the globe.

But deep down, he refuses to be Imogen’s godfather because he does not want to take any responsibility.3.They will think Will is a wonderful guy simply by comparison to the“bastard father” of their children. What’s more, Will can have brief affairs with them without a commitment. They are easy to dump. 4.He feels worried about his mother and afraid that she will commitsuicide again. He realizes that two in a family is not enough and he needs a bavkup person.5.Because his mother once tells him that when he sings he bringssunshine to her and he wants to make his mother feel better by singing.6. In the movie Will and Marcus are the two unlikely friends who have formeda close bond. Do you think that two people will develop a close friendshipdespite great difference in age?Memorable lines1.Setting: At the beginning of the movie, Will expresses his opinion that all men are islands. He believes that this is an island age and explains the reason.A hundred years ago, for instance, you had to depend on other people. No one had TV or CDs or DVDs or videos or home espresso(蒸馏咖啡)makers. As a matter of fact, they didn’t have anything cool, whereas now, you see, you can make youself a little island paradise.

And the Will Show wasn’t an ensemble(合奏,合唱,整体) drama. Guests came and went, but I was the regular. It came down to me and me alone.3.Setting: At the end of the movie, Will changes his attitude.Every man is an island. I stand by that. But clearly some men are part of island chains. Below the surface of the ocean they’re actually connected.Forrest GumpQuestions1. The movie begins with a feather flying in the air and ends with it, too. Whatdoes this suggest?2.

Give an analysis of theCowardly LionPhiladelphia (film) Directed by Jonathan DemmeProduced by Jonathan Demme Edward SaxonWritten by Ron NyswanerStarring Tom HanksDenzel Washington Jason Robards Mary Steenburgen Antonio BanderasMusic by Howard ShoreCinematography Tak FujimotoEditing by Craig McKayDistributed by TriStar PicturesRelease date(s) December 24, 1993Running time 125 minutesCountry United StatesPhiladelphia is a 1993 American drama film that was one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to acknowledge HIV/AIDS, homosexuality and homophobia. It was written by Ron Nyswaner and directed by Jonathan Demme. The film stars Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. It was inspired in part by the story of Geoffrey Bowers, an attorney who in 1987 sued the law firm Baker & McKenzie for wrongful dismissal in one of the first AIDS discrimination cases.Answer the following questions1. What makes Andrew Beckett decide to sue the law firm which he has previously served?2. At first glance, Miller is a world apart from Beckett’s interests: he is a personal injury lawyer, better known for television commercials than for legal talent, and has had conflicts with Beckett in the courtroom before(Miller lost). Why does Beckett ask Miller to represent him?3. Why does Joe Miller initially refuse to take the case?4. What finally makes Joe Miller take the case?5. What do you think of the scene where Beckett plays an aria(咏叹调)from his favorite opera for Miller?Answers:1. Beckett’s bosses claim he has been fired for incompetence andmisplacing an important document for an important client, but Beckett is sure that it’s because he has AIDS. He considers that he is a victim ofprejudice, and is determined to win his case even as his own life begins to fade.2. Because the law firm is so powerful and prestigious, and Beckett is a gayinfected with AIDS, no other lawyer will take the case. After many rejections, with no one else to turn to, Andrew Beckett consults Joe Miller to help him pursue litigation.(诉讼)3. Joe Miller represents the everyman who harbours homophobic tendencies.He does not like homosexuals, who make his skin crawl. He also hasextreme fear of AIDs, and can hardly keep himself from wiping his hand on his pants after shaking Beckett’s hand.4. A chain of events has turned Miller’s emotions in line with Beckett’s case.His wife has a baby, from which he has learned what birth is about, and then he has found out about death too. He comes across the ailing Beckett in the library. Seeing through the face of AIDS, he sees that there’s a dying man there. Then he has a change of heart, recognizing a hint of familiar discrimination in the way Beckett is being treated. He is essentially homophobic but he is also against prejudice. After initial reluctance, he takes the case.5. It’s a brilliant scene where Beckett tries to give a passionate translation ofthe aria “La Momma Morta” while Miller looks on in stunned silence.Miller’s isn’t an opera fan, but as the music plays and Beckett talks over it,passionately explaining his acceptance of death in the midst ofdisplaying his continuing passion for life, Miller undergoes a conversation of the soul. And finally, what Miller sees is a man who loves life and does not want to leave it.Character AnalysisAndrew Beckett: a victim of prejudice, gifted, genuine, forgiving, kindJoe Miller: honest, warm-hearted, prepared for fight for justice, relaxed, witty Charles Wheeler: elegant, smart, selfish, hypocriticalThe setting of the film Philadelphia, which concerns the struggle of an AIDS sufferer to assert his legal rights in the face of prejudice, is symbolic. Think about the (1) the literal meaning of the city’s name, and (2) the city’s role in American history, try to explain why.(1) the literal meaning of Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love. The prefix“phila-“ means “love”; it also occurs in the words “philanthropy”( love of mankind) and “philosophy” (love of wisdom). “Delphia” comes from the Greek “adelphus” meaning “brother”. This is significant because the film seeks to contrast the old ideals of America (i.e. love and tolerance) with the reality of modern prejudice( against AIDS sufferers).(2) Philadelphia was the city in which the first public reading of theDeclaration of Independence occurred. It is also the city in which theLiberty Bell is located. This is significant because the Declaration ofIndependence states America’s commitment to individual’s rights to “ life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. These are precisely the rights that are denied to the protagonist of the film. The film uses this symbolicsetting to draw attention to the way that the old ideals of the AmericanRepublic are being systematically ignored in the face of the AIDS threat.。

英文影视赏析复习提纲

英文影视赏析复习提纲

英文影视赏析复习提纲基本知识电影史(History)电影的历史并不漫长。

以好莱坞电影来说,主要分三个历史时期—早期电影(early cinema)、经典好莱坞电影(classic Hollywood cinema)、和后经典好莱坞电影(post-classic Hollywood cinema)。

每个时期的电影在艺术风格上都有各自的特点。

(1)早期电影(19世纪末20世纪初)1826年摄影技术的发明给电影的出现打下了基础。

1889年柯达(Kodak)公司研制出一种又薄又软的底片即赛璐珞(celluloid),这种底片可以高速穿过镜头,拍摄影像,并且可以高速连续地在投影仪上放映。

另外一个突破性发明是美国的爱迪生(Edison)和法国的吕米埃克兄弟(Lumiere brothers 法国人)分别发明的可以拍摄连续活动的摄像机,于1895年拍摄了世界上第一部电影(《火车进站》),这标志着美国电影史的开端。

这个时期的电影主要通过镍币影院(nickelodeons一种门票一律五分镍币即五美分的小型电影院)放映。

早期电影的制作基本是依靠“摄影师制度”(cameraman system),即每部电影都是由个人(摄影师)制作,这个人负责策划、编剧、摄影和剪辑。

这时的电影业被两个公司垄断:爱迪生和贝尔格拉夫(Edison and Biograph)公司,两家公司合办了电影专利公司MPPC(Motion Pictures Patents Company)。

从美学角度看,早期电影最显著的特点是倾向于记录和重视现实生活的某些方面,这种“真实摄影”(actually filming)是对单个人,名人或运动员,地点(风景区)或者行动(日常生活或新闻事件)进行长距离的连续拍摄。

虚构的场景也不过是小品、歌舞杂耍或对真实事件的重现。

这一时期的电影主要依赖于景象,而不是叙事。

喜剧小品、魔术表演是其核心内容,我们最熟悉的是卓别林(著名的英国喜剧演员,编剧,导演,喜剧电影的奠基人)的电影。

• On her journey, she cooed to the swan, “In America, I will have a daughter just like me. But over there, nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husband’s belch. Over there, nobody will look down on her because I will make her speak only perfect American English. And over there, she will always be too full to swallow any sorrow. She will know my meaning because I will give her this swan, a creature that became more than what was hoped for." • But when she arrived in the new country the immigration officials pulled the swan away from her, leaving the woman fluttering her arms and with only one swan feather for a memory.

高考英语一轮复习 Unit 4 Films and film e

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 4 Films and film events课时练1 2篇阅读+1篇完形[学生用书P403(单独成册)]Ⅰ阅读理解A(2020·大连高三双基测试)Lady Gaga’s latest film became an instant hit over the weekend, helping pushth eaters to an October ticket­selling record.A Star Is Born, actor­turned­director Bradley Cooper’s remake of a Hollywood classic in the late 1930s, went beyond the previous expectations of movie analysts by roughly 30 percent.The original production is such a great Hollywood myth that it’s no wonder Hollywood keeps telling it. Whatever the era, the director or the headliners, it tells the story of two lovers on dramatically different paths: a famous man who’s racing to the bottom and a woman who’s soaring to the top.Mr. Cooper does a lot right in this movie A Star Is Born, beginning with the casting of Lady Gaga, whose relaxing, naturalistic performance is the key to the movie’s force.A post­Madonna pop artist was known for her elaborate(精心制作的) make up and costumes, which she adopted no more here.This unmasking of Lady Gaga makes her character seem genuine or say natural, a quality that the movie is in favor of and that serves as a kind of everlasting first principle.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了《A Star Is Born》这部电影的相关情况。

英语影视听说Unit 4--notes

《英语电影视听说》Unit 4 (Notes)Part 1 Movie Exploration•arrogant: Someone who behaves in a proud, unpleasant way toward other people because they believe that they are more important than others. 傲慢的•domineering: those who try to control other people without any consideration for their feelings or opinions 跋扈的;专横的;盛气凌人的;刚愎自用的•tycoon: 企业界大亨,巨头•laughing stock: n. 笑柄•slender: adj. 细长的;苗条的gossipy: adj. 喜饶舌的•lord (… over sb.):摆架子耍威风;比喻专横拔扈•run errands: 做琐碎的事情•overbearing: adj. 傲慢的;骄横的•humiliating:adj. 羞辱性的;使蒙受耻辱的•hang in: v. to persist 坚持•picky: adj. 挑剔的;吹毛求疵的•escort: vt. accompany 护送;陪同•undermine: v. 渐渐破坏;逐渐削弱•owe…to…: because of 归因于•at sb’s beck and call: 唯某人之命是从,听某人的调遣•be fed up with: 对……感到厌烦•vanity fair: 浮华世界,名利场•outrage: v. extremely angry and shocked 使震怒•make up with sb.: 与…讲和;言归于好A Review on the MovieTask 4Rather than an ugly duckling tale, The Devil Wears Prada approaches the theme of temptation—that of(1) fashion, luxury, power and ambition—which finds its ultimate expression in Miranda, the most (2) revered and hated woman in fashion. Miranda is in her own right comparable to a "devil" who puts the poor Andrea, (3) fresh out of college and journalistically minded, to severe physical trials day and night. Yet the real test never rests with the super weird and annoying requests and errands. It begins only when the girl starts to fit in the splendor and superficiality of (4) the fashion circles. Now the "devil" sets out to transform the girl by offering (5) a wide range of temptations. Changes on the inside can be easily discerned when Andrea hands out thousands of dollars' worth of designer accessories and cosmetics to her friends over dinner, when (6) she misses her boyfriend's birthday party only because Miranda wants her to attend a fashion gala andwhen she manifests indecision before the charming writer. The tempting move (7) reaches its climax when the "devil" gives the girl (8) a big speech about office politics to the effect that if you want to get ahead in your career, you have to be willing to (9) step over others. Awaking to the truth that this job which a million girls would die for is not really worth (10) the price of her soul, Andrea leaves the "devil". In the end, ideals and self-esteem have conquered temptation.Part 2 Culture Reflection•incarnate: represent in bodily form 体现;使…具体化•exquisite: extremely beautiful or pleasant, especially in a delicate way 精美的•celebrity: a widely known person 名人•incorporate: include 包含•range from… to…: 从 ... 到... 范围•astrology: [ə'strɑlədʒi] 占星学;星座•collaborate: cooperate 合作•vintage boutique: 精品服饰店•crucial (to): extremely important 至关重要的•apparel: clothing in general 服装;衣服•accessory: articles such as belts and scarves to wear or carry but which are not part of your main clothing•anorexia: n. 厌食;神经性厌食症•agony: great physical or mental pain 极大痛苦•symptom: something wrong with your body or mind that is a sign of the illness 症状•prostration: 衰竭•loom large: 显得突出•afflict: cause great unhappiness for 折磨;使痛苦Part 3 Language AppreciationTask 12 (for reference)Slang expressions are used by special groups for special effect. They display a transitory nature because a majority of them die out quickly. Slang words are intended to be vivid and interesting, but at the same time their application is rather limited since they may give offense or cause misunderstandings. Yet on an informal occasion, like the random gathering of friends here, the use of slang breeds intimacy and livens things up. In this sense it is fully acceptable.。
