电影《大红灯笼高高挂》英文影评
Movie Review of Raise the Red Lantern Raise the red lantern is a metaphor in this movie. It means the sexual life between husband and wife as well as the power for the wife in the family. The film leaves us a direct feeling is depressive, the human nature of repression. This story begins from summer, and ends by the other summer. This is a story without spring, without any hope.
Songlian used to be a college student, but her beautiful young life is ended by her step-mother and her husband. In this movie, we never see the front face of Songlian’s step-mother and husband. That is a clever arrangement from the director to show us two unkind persons. When Songlian come to the Chen’s Courtyard, her dress-up is incompatible with the old courtyard. This is the beginning of her sad life.
In the movie, the roles in this family are mentioned time and time. Their roles are the symbol of old tradition. The people in this family are all tied up by the old ideas, old roles, old traditions. And their life are fated to be sorrow, and died one by one in the end, such as the three beautiful women.

浅论电影《大红灯笼高高挂》艺术特色 摘要：影片《大红灯笼高高挂》是张艺谋早期电影中较为成功的作品,这部电影不仅在国内获得了良好的口碑,在国际上也获得了诸多奖项。那么这部影片的成功之处在哪里呢?本文将对影片《大红灯笼高高挂》的艺术特色进行深入的分析,以期获得张艺谋早期电影创作的成功之处,希望为当代电影创作提供可鉴之资。本文将首先从电影《大红灯笼高高挂》的叙事策略作为切入点,分析张艺谋独特的电影语言叙事特色以及在这部影片中反映出的女性文化视野。 关键词：电影语言叙事；女性文化视野；民俗画面象征手法 一、电影色彩的象征意义 在电影里的颜色分色光与色素。色光主要是通过滤色片给整个镜头或镜头的某一局部加上一层颜色，另外一种颜色我们叫色素，就是被摄体本身的物质对光的接受所带来的颜色。《大红灯笼高高挂》整部影片的色彩基调都是趋于青灰色的冷色调，与之形成鲜明对照的红色灯笼在此则显现出更加令人产生视觉冲击的色彩，并且贯穿整部电影，从而为观众留下深刻的视觉印象也呼应了电影的片名《大红灯笼高高挂》，但是这高高悬挂在空中的大红灯笼并没有照亮这府院的生活，反而将其笼罩在一个更加畸形的社会体制之下。影片重点在揭示那个时代畸形的社会关系，进而揭示社会关系背后的社会悲剧，把故事讲清晰，抓人物刻画，表现人物内心世界，这便是《大红灯笼高高挂》的宗旨所在。 二、红色笼罩下的畸形人物性格 女主人公颂莲是一个接受过现代教育的新时代的女性形象，但是在继母的策划之下被迫无奈嫁人陈府，开始的颂莲是具有反抗精神的代表，与隐喻封建的陈家显得格格不入，但是经过时间积累，她终于还是向那畸形的制度俯首称臣。本片改编自苏童的中篇小说《妻妾成群》，在影片的故事创作当中延续了原著中有关对于女性命运的探讨，在那个女性毫无地位的封建时代，影片把女主人公颂莲的心理变化作为故事的主要线索，阐述了那个时代下女性命运最终走向悲剧的原因，这里既有大时代背景的可观原因，更多的也是女性对于自身命运的一种妥协。颂莲是新时代教育下的产物，在笼罩在封建旧制的陈府当中她的新思想也逐渐被取代，一个先进的进步女青年为了能够在这里获得自己的一席之地，也加入了这阴险的
Journey to the Center of the Earth(地心游记)2008经典电影英文影评
Journey to the Center of the Earth（地心游记）2008 There is a part of me that will always have affection for a movie like "Journey to the Center of the Earth." It is a small part and steadily shrinking, but once I put on the 3-D glasses and settled in my seat, it started perking up. This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be. There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it. If I had seen it when I was 8, I would have remembered it with deep affection for all these years, until I saw it again and realized how little I really knew at that age. You are already familiar with the premise, that there is another land inside of our globe. You are familiar because the Jules Verne novel has inspired more than a dozen movies and countless TV productions, including a series, and has been ripped off by such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, who called it Pellucidar, and imagined that the Earth was hollow and there was another world on the inside surface. (You didn't ask, but yes, I own a copy of Tarzan at the Earth's Core with the original dust jacket.) In this version, Brendan Fraser stars as a geologist named Trevor, who defends the memory of his late brother, Max, who believed the center of the Earth could be reached through "volcanic tubes." Max disappeared on a mysterious expedition, which, if it involved volcanic tubes, should have been no surprise to him. Now Trevor has been asked to spend some time with his nephew, Max's son, who is named Sean (Josh Hutcherson). What with one thing and another, wouldn't you know they find themselves in Iceland, and peering down a volcanic tube. They are joined in this enterprise by Hannah (Anita Briem), who they find living in Max's former research headquarters near the volcano he was investigating. Now begins a series of adventures, in which the operative principle is: No matter how frequently or how far they fall, they will land without injury. They fall very frequently, and very far. The first drop lands them at the bottom of a deep cave, from which they cannot possibly climb, but they remain remarkably optimistic: "There must be a way out of here!" Sure enough, they find an abandoned mine shaft and climb aboard three cars of its miniature railway for a scene that will make you swear the filmmakers must have seen "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Just like in that movie, they hurtle down the tracks at breakneck speeds; they're in three cars, on three more or less parallel tracks, leading you to wonder why three parallel tracks were constructed at great expense and bother, but just when such questions are forming, they have to (1) leap a chasm, (2) jump from one car to another, and (3) crash. It's a funny thing about that little railway: After all these years, it still has lamps hanging over the rails, and the electricity is still on. The problem of lighting an unlit world is solved in the next cave they enter, which is inhabited by cute little birds that glow in the dark. One of them makes friends with Sean, and leads them on to the big attraction -- a world bounded by a great interior sea. This world must be a terrible place to inhabit; it has man-eating and man-strangling plants, its waters harbor giant-fanged fish and fearsome sea snakes that eat them, and on the further shore is a Tyrannosaurus rex. So do the characters despair? Would you despair, if you were trapped miles below the surface in a cave and being chased by its hungry inhabitants? Of course not. There isn't a moment in the movie when anyone seems frightened, not even during a fall straight down for thousands of feet, during which they link hands like sky-divers and carry on a conversation. Trevor gets the ball rolling: "We're still falling!" I mentioned 3-D glasses earlier in the review. Yes, the movie is available in 3-D in "selected theaters." Select those theaters to avoid. With a few exceptions (such as the authentic IMAX process), 3-D remains underwhelming to me -- a distraction, a disappointment and more often than not offering a dingy picture. I guess setting your story inside the Earth is one way to explain why it always seems to need more lighting. The movie is being shown in 2-D in most theaters, and that's how I wish I had seen it. Since there's that part of me with a certain weakness for movies like this, it's possible I would have liked it more. It would have looked brighter and clearer, and the photography wouldn't have been cluttered up with all the leaping and gnashing of teeth. Then I could have appreciated the work of the plucky actors, who do a lot of things right in this movie, of which the most heroic is keeping a straight face. 1

蒙太奇镜头之 大红灯笼高高挂
《大红灯笼高高挂》之蒙太奇镜头分析 这是一部深受好评的影片，在1991年获得了第四十八届威尼斯国际电影节银狮奖。在片子的背后，我们看到了张艺谋导演的深沉与智慧。《大红灯笼高高挂》中的场景是令人寒颤的大院乔宅。电影里面的颜色冷热基调反差尤其大：窒息的大红色、恐怖的灰黑色、凄凉的惨白色，圈住了女人们的生活环境，使故事情感显得格外紧张。下面我们就从一组蒙太奇镜头中分析一下。 开始是主人公走入公家的一幕，先是一块巨大的、黑色的、浓重的匾牌，充满整个画面，写满封建的道德文章，估计是家规之类的话。然后主人公中镜进入，一下子对比及其明显。人物那么较小，背景如此厚重，导演通过镜别的差别、巧妙的构图处理，生动地刻画出两种力量对比的悬殊。仿佛主人公一下子就被厚重的背景吞噬了一样，毫无抵抗能力。预示着人物未来悲惨的命运走向。 同时，主人公的衣着如此洁白，背景却那么黑暗。色块上的对比表现出一边是纯洁、善良，另一边却是冷库、阴暗！ 最后，人物不断地向庭院内走去，导演又使用了一个“景深镜头”，正所谓“庭院深深深几许”，主人公走了好远，还没有走完，原先那个匾牌所在的背景却已经失焦了。这个景深镜头生动地刻画出了这个封建家族的庞大、幽深与莫测，他仿佛张开了一张血盆大口，生生地把主人公吞噬了下去！
3分55秒时，镜头转到一个中镜，主人公背对镜头面向深深的院墙。此时可以注意这个构图是对称的，画面左、右、上面都是厚重的院墙，主人公被挤压在画面的下方，而且被包围了起来。如此庄重、和谐的一个画面更让人感到深深的压抑与煎熬。 接着是仰拍镜头与俯拍镜头的对比，主人公站在下面，从主人公的视角，镜头仰拍城墙上的老仆役，这个封建家庭显得高高在上，傲慢自大。随后镜头又从城墙上俯拍主人公，人物被压制在一个低等的位置，显得卑微。通过拍摄角度的变化，强权与弱势表现得一清二楚。
Seven(七宗罪)1995经典电影英文影评
Seven(七宗罪)1995 David Fincher's classic tale of inventive serial killing and urban degredation, with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman on excellent form Who'd have thought? An absurd-sounding tale of a serial killer basing his crimes around the seven deadly sins, directed by the man behind the mess that was Alien3, turning out to be one of the most chilling and original thrillers of the 1990s. From the outset, through the film's brilliantly designed deliberate under-lighting - we see very little blood and guts - and muffled sound, the audience is encouraged to lean towards the screen, immerse itself in the film's unbearably grim world. Pitt is in career-making form as Mills, a simple cop moving with his sweet young wife (Paltrow) to a grim, anonymous city, determined to make a difference, to do some good. He is assigned to track down a vengeful killer, and works alongside Somerset (Freeman), a jaded, wise policeman on the verge of retirement. The two are that modern movie cliché -the mismatched pair thrown together by circumstance, who gradually learn mutual respect. But Fincher and Walker take these hackneyed ingredients, play with them in the context of a brilliantly cohesive plot, and present something consistently fresh - the police finding themselves with too much evidence, the premature unmasking of the killer - and very, very dark. 1

电影大红灯笼高高挂观后感3篇
电影大红灯笼高高挂观后感3篇 《大红灯笼高高挂》这部电影有些年代了，大家对它的主题心知肚明，这是中国女性的悲歌，是封建社会的缩影，下面是有电影大红灯笼高高挂观后感，欢迎参阅。 电影大红灯笼高高挂观后感篇一：我真的很庆幸自己没出生在那个年代，狭隘、勾心斗角、缺乏自由。 很久没有看这样让人欲哭无泪、让人沉思压抑的电影，对我而言，无论是从认识上还是思辨上，都是一个锻炼。 我所在的家庭，我的爸爸妈妈，真的在用爱抚养我，他们让我相信世界的美好，他们让我相信努力的力量。但独自闯世界的我，已经不能再在自己的身体周围撑起屏障了，不能再继续无视光明里的黑子了。我在成长，所以不能再逃避。也许这正是我喜欢法律的一个理由，也许这正是我选择这门课的一个理由。法律决不是门想当然的学科，它直面人生，人生的角角落落，苦难、善良、邪恶……我不想浮躁浮夸的苟且于世，我不想活的不明不白，或许法律能让我成长起来。 颂莲曾是一个单纯的大学生，心强气盛。我们对影片的开场白或许仍记忆犹新：“人生就是这么一回事。”尽管有这样的感叹，想必连她自己也没有想到自己的人生真的就是一场短暂的游戏吧。渐渐地学会争斗，又渐渐地在其中迷失，最后渐渐地看清了这个大院的本质，却也晚了，也毁了。“点灯、灭灯、封灯，我是无所谓了!。。。我就是不明白，在这个院里人算个什么东西?像狗，像
猫，像耗子，什么都像，就是不像人!” 女人的悲剧!看影片的时候我想起了《红楼梦》，那是一本我没有看完过的书。现在想想之所以看不完，有年龄的原因，有阅历的原因。现在的自己在渐渐明白一些问题，认清一些事物的本质，所以才会对影片所要表现的主题更感压抑。时代已经变了，在这个时代高喊“女人的悲剧”有点不自然了，除非在一些落后地区。传统的中国，女人算什么呀!没有独立的权利，没有自由，而且由于这些人权的缺乏，女人本身也变得“贱”“卑鄙”“肮脏”。这也不是传统的全部，但这是中国传统色彩的一部分，浓妆艳抹背后的凄凉，豪宅大院里的畸形人生。 电影大红灯笼高高挂观后感篇二：对锤子的声音印象很深刻。 锤子第一次出现是颂莲嫁到陈家，仆人为其捶脚。叮叮当当的，觉得挺烦的，就很疑惑为什么锤子带声音的，随着影片的继续，原来是为了给别的太太们听到，让她们嫉妒、扭曲。可谓是恶毒之举，玩弄人的心灵于股掌。 一群女人为了捶脚，挂个灯笼;勾心斗角，尔虞我诈~~~当然灯笼只是表面现象，更是权利，甚至点菜的权力。 颂莲的假怀孕，三太太和外人勾搭等就是一般的封建家族的惯用伎俩了。 对于雁儿这个角色，自己有把柄在四太太手里的时候，还是把四太太的假怀孕事件告诉了二太太，愚昧的雁儿还是对于四太太的位置被颂莲夺走怀恨在心，还对自己能成为太太存有幻想，永远不可能实现的幻想……最后雁儿死了
Tess(苔丝)1979经典电影英文影评
Tess(苔丝)1979 Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland. Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name. Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec. Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish. Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of the land and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully. Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble. 1
