乱世佳人英语影评

乱世佳人英语影评As time goes by, the film “Gone with the wind” is forgotten by most teenagers, but it’s still my favorite film.I admire Captain Rett, he is really a gentleman, and really knows what’s true love. So smart, interesting, handsome and strong. Most important is: he really knows how to protect and take care his wife: Scarlet.Different from most other girls, I don’t like Scarlet very much, not because of her selfish and cool, just because I really think she is a poor fool woman, though she is good at negotiating with customers and good at attracting guys, she even doesn’t know who’s her true love, doesn’t know Rett is the one who really fit for her, I think that she doesn’t know herself at all, she is that kind of person who never like literatures, doesn’t have any romantic dreams. That’s why she misunderstands herself loving Ashley but it’s not true.I think another problem lead to their divorce is short of communication. Both of them are good at attracting others, so, for their experience and pride, the y don’t like to show love to their partner, just pretend “I don’t love you”, and hope their partners shows his/her love at first. This kind of game only works for chasing each other and having fun, but when they marry, it will terminates their relationship upgrade.So as time goes by, their love faded, their marriage became a tragedy.[英语影评] 时间旅行者的妻子The Time Traveller's WifeI have always been a big fan of girly movies, namely movies with romance factors. Doesn't matter whether it's a comedy or tragedy or any other type in between, as long as it's romance related, I'm on it. It is no doubt, the movie type that I've viewed the most. So when I watched the movie trailer of the Time Traveller's Wife, I decided then and there that it's gonna be a must-see movie for me. For just in that 3 minute of the trailer, I was already driven to tears.I did some research on the movie when I got home that night from the movies. I found out that this is the movie adaption of a bestseller book of the same name. I've never read or heard of the book. It seems that it's quite popular and is a very touching love story. So it made my anticipation for the movie grew even greater.After coming back to China, my opportunities of watching movies in English in theaters has dropped considerably lower than when I was in Van. Only select movies are played in select theaters, and some are translated which is not the same thing has watching it in English. After a long wait, I found out that the movie is not gonna be played in my city, at least not the same time as when it comes out in North America. A friend told me I can already watch it online so I changed my option with pity, coz I would really like to watch my movie's on big screen in theaters.I watched it on my computer last night. I've always liked Rachel McAdams since when I first saw her in Notebook, the movie. That is undebatably one of the best romantic movies ever made. I still think it's such a pity that Ryan Gosling and she broke up as a couple. They have such great chemistry. She is just a sweetheart that you can't help but fall in love with. I think she did a very good job with this movie as well. She looks and feels convincing from when she was a young blooming girl in her teens to a middle-age female artist and a mom. She has that special chiaround her that you just can not take your eye off. She is leading lady material and can carry a movie well. Choosing her as the leading actress is a safe bet and a smart choice.On the other hand, Eric Bana as the leading man. I've only seen him in the Hulk, An Lee's version. Honestly, I did not really enjoy the movie or his acting in it, which left me an impression of him as a muscle man of not much acting skills. I was not sure if he could be a good romance leading man, coz there is obviously more acting involved than in action movies. He surprised me for actually did a pretty good job with this movie. Although I think he is a little too muscular for the role. I can not imagine a shy librarian can have so much muscle as he does. But he did a better job than I thought he would for sure. If I can feel the pain and the sorrow as the person he protrayed that means he did succeeded. So Eric Bana jumped out of my muscle man category and became someone that's possible for good acting too.Other actors are kind of blurry meaning just ok, no extraordinary pleasant surprises except for the children actors. The girl who played Claire when she was young is really adorable and I'm pretty sure I've watched her in some other major movies as well. Also the two girls who played their kid are very memorable. The young growing force or Hollywood is to watch for.The film adaption of good books are always tricky. Very rare the movie is as good as the book. This is another case of it. The book supposedly has a lot of very touching dialogue and moments. The movie does have very touching moments, too. I know it is far from what it was in the book, though I did not have the chance to read it yet. The movie language and the writing language is different in usage, but I think the adaption of the movie is not the most successful for sure.The movie is still a beautiful love story. But it did not reach it's full potential or close to it. I look forward to the reading of the original book. Nothing beats a good love story. The eternal quest for true love is always on.Something not concerning the movie: I've been missing my days in Van when I could communicate and talk in English. Lately I find that my English is slowly leaving me, coz I do not use it often enough. Translating documents in official words are very different from daily communication. From now on I hope to write and speak more in English to make sure that what I have learned over so many years of being in Van will not be wasted. So today will be a good start.Appreciation of the Waterloo BridgeDirected by Mervyn LeRoy, based on Robert Sherwood's play, with a screenplay by S.N. Behrman, Hans Rameau, and George Froeschel, this classic, tear-jerking wartime love story, starring Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh, was Oscar nominated for its Cinematography and Original Musical Score.Leigh plays a melancholy dancer, Myra, who meets soldier Roy Cronin (Taylor) during an air raid in World War I London, just before he's to be shipped off to the front. Given a 48-hour leave, the carefree and romantic Roy, captivated by her beauty, sweeps Myra off her feet until she too isoptimistic about their future. He receives permission from his uncle, the Duke, to marry her. Unfortunately, due to some officialese, they are unable to get married before Roy must leave for France. Myra attempts to return to the ballet, but her tough boss refuses to accept her back into the company, and fires fellow dancer Kitty for her outburst in support of her friend.Myra and Kitty take an apartment together where they struggle to make ends meet until Roy's mother, Lady Margaret, who had been working with the Red Cross, is able to come for a visit. Just before this meeting, however, Myra reads Roy's name on a casualty list in the newspaper. Frightened and in shock, Myra is unable to make a good impression on her would-be future mother-in-law. After being comforted by the restaurant's hostess, Myra returns to Kitty who supports her financially during her depression by the only way a girl who can't find a job otherwise can. Soon, Myra comes out of her funk and realizes that Kitty has been selling herself to soldiers on leave. Naturally, she then joins this oldest profession herself. Tom Conway is the uncredited voice one hears as her first client.Later, as Myra is "greeting" the latest batch of soldiers arriving from the front at the train station, she sees Roy. Apparently, there was a reporting error made when he'd lost his dog tags. Ignorant of what has happened in her life, Roy is thrilled to see Myra and figures they'll just pick up where they left off. Promising never to leave her again, Roy insists on taking Myra to their country estate, to more properly introduce her to his family and friends. Though Myra struggles with what to tell Roy of her recent past, she also sees an opportunity to finally "make it" and promises Kitty, before she leaves, to set her up well when she returns.Though things do not go smoothly initially at the Cronin estate for Myra; some of the local families had hoped Roy would marry one of their daughters and are not very accepting of the newcomer from outside their caste. However, with help from Lady Margaret, who'd given her another chance per Roy's obvious love for Myra and the Duke, who insists on a showy dance with her, Myra is accepted. It is at this point that Myra's conscience gets the best of her and she comes clean to Lady Margaret, whom she asks never to tell Roy. Myra then departs early the next morning, leaving Roy clueless.Of course, Roy must find out what happened to the love of his life. He returns to London where he finds Kitty. Convinced of his love for Myra, Kitty reveals the truth of Myra's nightlife to Roy by taking him on a search for her through one seedy bar after another. Meanwhile, Myra is on Waterloo Bridge, where she's seen giving up; she walks rapidly past several troop trucks as they drive by before she throws herself under the wheels of one of them. The film ends with Colonel Roy, many years later at the beginning of World War II, fingering the good luck charm Myra had once given him.Waterloo Bridge is one of those rare films that never seem to strike a false note or put a foot wrong. There is not a wasted moment in the screenplay -- every shot has meaning, every scene plays its part -- and the dialogue gains its power through the lightest of touches. The single scene that brings me to tears every time is that brief, banal interview in the cafe, with the dreadful unknowing irony of every word Lady Margaret says.Yet for a tear-jerker, and one that centers on wartime separation and hardship, in an era where unemployment could mean literal starvation, the film contains perhaps more scenes of unalloyed happiness than any modern-day romance. The script is understated, sparkling with laughter and even at its darkest salted with black jest, while no-one can doubt the central couple's joy in each other. They themselves acknowledge, and repeatedly, the sheer implausibility of their romance:but war changes all the rules, makes people -- as Roy says -- more intensely alive.Waterloo Bridge has a touch of everything: laughter, tears, tension, misunderstanding, sweetness, beauty and fate. It couldn't be made in today's Hollywood without acquiring an unbearable dose of schmaltz; in the era of Pretty Woman, it probably couldn't be made at all. But of its kind it is perfect.In my mind this eclipses so many other more acclaimed wartime films. Find some way to watch this -- at least once in your life.。
