2The Comment

The story of film first seems very sad, this already unhappy family back-to-back aroundthe. But from the five family of life right out of love and considerate disclosed or very exciting. Play mother Sarah's Cameron, tender-hearted Bates said: "when I first saw this play, I knew I must go and play the mother, she and I seem to be a certain natural connection like, everything is so familiar. This story moved me, although I am not quite agree with some of her approach, But this does not affect story shows deep affection.

11 years and leukemia struggle, Kate lost his childhood, in order to let her live, her parents gave birth to Anna. But in Anna 11, she asked a question: "then who am I?" Anna know, she's decision will let parents crazy, everyone will think she is a selfish and mean stingy person. But she didn't take place to do it protects the decision, she has her own consideration. Actually very simple, film story said is a family to how to confront their child's death and parents have the right to make use of a child's life to save another .The theme of the novel is family and human nature.

Actually calm and death is a beauty, calm towards death is also a kind of beauty. Cannot hold oneself body, why death is not a better choice. Perhaps, only really seriously ill persons can experience. This is not a kind of give up. This is just the patient found a place to rest. A healthy person, because family love, affection of love,

always don't bear to mortally ill patients leave, always expect miracles. So, in

第二篇：15篇经典英文电影赏析

2012

Today I watched the movie named"2012".It is one of those "Christian-based" films with a fair amount of preaching, so be forewarned. This is the basic fault that I found with this film. Instead of telling a story and letting the viewer make his or her own decision, it’s always being shoved in peoples’ faces. This story takes place in December 2012, the family was on vacation.But unfortunately, according to Mayan prophecy, 2012 December 21, is the end of the world, but also to the day the Mayan calendar date, no next page any more.So how to stop all human beings to be destroyed is the main idea through the film.

Jack Jackson (John Cusack played) to the Yellowstone National Park vacation with children, but found the lake had been dried up fond memories, while the area has also become a restricted area.He is full of doubts stolen camp near Yellowstone chance to know Charlie.Charlie told him that due to the natural environment and resources by humans and predatory destruction of the balance of the Earth system has its own collapse, humanity will soon face an unprecedented natural disaster.Charlie said that some countries have developed and built in the United secrets can escape the disaster of the ark.Jackson thought he was crazy to laugh it off and walked away.But to his surprise,the disaster happened the next day! We could see from the film that In the search for and to the Ark-based process, the Jackson family has experienced death in the face of disaster after the base finally reached the ark.However, the Ark has been fabricated can not meet the number of parts of the world heard the news coming from the affected population.

At last,we can learn something from the film.To face thedisaster, from different countries make the most important human choice: "all men are equal, have equal chances of survival!"

The Pursuit of Happyness,

Today I watched the film named "The Pursuit of Happyness,"the first thing that flashed into my mind is that how hard it may be if you don't have money, but at end I come to understand that if you keep on your dreams ,happiness will come!

With a title like The Pursuit of Happyness, you expect the characters to get to the promised land. They do, but if the journey matters more than the destination, this is a movie to skip. The Pursuit of Happyness is long, dull, and depressing. It expands into two hours a story that could have been told more effectively in one. This is not the feel-good movie of the season unless you believe that a few moments of good cheer can redeem 110 minutes of gloom.

The film's most compelling scenes are those that show Chris struggling to enter the rat race. Granted, this is no Glengarry Glen Ross, but it shows the pressure these salesmen are under and how important the contact lists are. In the overall scheme of things, however, these sequences are background noise. They are neither plentiful nor lengthy. The movie spends more time following Chris on his futile sales rounds for the bone density scanner than it does accompanying him during his broker training.

In the film, the hero does things actively. He always runs for his work and life. A view that shows he runs for his work that selling a machine, and we can imagine that what’s the result if the hero would not run for his machine. Maybe he will feel disappointed for a long time. Another view that shows his running for the sleep place, what a pity that he was too late, and the end is that he sleep in the toilet with his little son and keep the toilet door close stubbornly. So from the two views we should know that when we do anything, must be active, and if not, the

bad result, just like the result in the film, would be coming ruthlessly.

The film brings us a good deal of enlightenment. With its practical significance, we will have more spirits to participate in the future work, just like the hero never gave up, and give my families happiness, then to be a better man.

Avatar

Avatar is the most engaging and enthralling motion picture I have experienced this year - and "experience" is the appropriate word. There's a rush associated with coming to Pandora; this feels more like an interactive endeavor than a passive one.

Avatar takes us to the planet Pandora in the year 2154. Pandora is a jungle world at which Earthmen have arrived with the intention of performing some strip-mining. Although corporations run the show, the military, led by Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), is on hand to provide protection and lend support.

Avatar is absorbing to look at. So much time and energy was spent into creating this fictional alien species, the Na'vi, and it pays off in the respect that Cameron's visual fx team

painstakingly makes it appear real and otherworldly at the same time. We might recognize the lush and green surroundings, or even some of the trippy creatures, and if it comes close to anything it's like Ferngully: The Last Rainforest squared and made semi-pre-historic. But it's the scope and grandeur, and when we see the Na'Vi in close-ups or even just far away, you can see the sweat and the detail in their faces, the human beings playing them projecting off the screen. I forgot, if only for a few moments at a time, that they were animated and done in motion-capture. If part of a filmmaker's job, in a situation like a super-mega-sci-fi epic is to make us believe in another world and place (even if it's familiar), then Cameron has done his job very admirably.

Avatar has been described as a "game-changer," and perhaps it is. I'll leave that for future historians to determine. What I can say with some assuredness（确信） is this is the most technically amazing motion picture to have arrived on screens in many years - perhaps since Peter Jackson's The Return of the King.

Avatar is entertainment of the highest order. It's the best movie of 2009.

Forrest Gump

Today I watched the film Forrest Gump,in fact, I had watched this film several times. At the very beginning, a white feather dances in the wind with the music gradually from soft to strong.

In the blue sky the feather shining brightly seems like an angle.

The film begins with the beautiful sence. It is a good start. At last, the feather appears again. It flies over the field, the house .It takes audiences to another magic world,

and takes on a ture world to the audiences and stands for a miracle.

The film shows kindness, thankness, honest,

serious,bravry and all of beautiful things in our souls.

It tells the story by Forrest Gump himself.He sits on the chair by the road and tells his experiences in his past time to the persons who are waiting for the bus.They come and go,however Forrest talking and talking.He doesn't mind what they are doing and how they are feeling .When I see the sences,I feel it risible.But this just accouts Forrest is a clinging man.

Forrest Gump isn't a genius man.He is even thought a big fool.In all his childhood,otherboys look down upon him and ofen laugh at him.But his mother regards him as a normal child and tells him that he is the same as the other boys.

I appriate and like the film very much.One hand the film tells several stories clearly in limited time.The content is affluent and the tie of charactors is complex but clear.On the other hand ,we can get revelations from it.First,if you want to be happy,you must treat youself correctly.

The Day After Tomorrow

After watching 《2012》，I watch the same thee about disaster film named” The Day After Tomorrow” Some of what The Day After Tomorrow has to offer is exciting. Some is just plain stupid - like Sam's tussle with a pack of wolves (on board a ship in the middle of Manhattan), Lucy's act of self-sacrifice for a cancer patient, and the President's pep talk (that sounds like it was lifted from Independence Day). Still, a lot of the silliness is expected in this kind of motion picture, and the moments of elevated adrenaline (many of which occur during Jack's harrowing journey) and impressive visuals serve as a counterbalance. Plus, there's even a little irony thrown in for good measure when the Mexican government seals the border to keep U.S. refugees from fleeing south.

The Day After Tomorrow has the good sense not to have man attempt to overcome nature's wrath (the point of such films like Armageddon and The Core). Instead, it's a given that there's nothing we can do, so the emphasis is on survival. The knowledge that victory is impossible makes for a more compelling story, since the goal becomes intensely personal: staying alive. Of course, despite the "bad science," the pro-environment message shines through. Like Super Size Me, consider it a cautionary tale. Nevertheless, Emmerich's point with The Day After Tomorrow isn't to play politics or make speeches, but to entertain. And, in the cataclysmic way he has become known for, he does so. The Day After Tomorrow is filled with bad dialogue, stock peril situations, and sketchy character development, but it's a big enough spectacle that those things don't derail the film's capacity to be enjoyed. Pass the popcorn and the cheese. The highest level of disaster film is the pursuit of visual perfection and realistic, after all, in all the disaster scene where we can not use the camera or any other things to every detail of the disaster and the process, but the disaster film provides such an opportunity, butalso asked the audience is able to accurately zone into the picture, feel it was really happened, and not a big sigh depressed,

ROMAN HOLIDAY

Although this is a black film without color,this is a classic movie.The plot describes the England princess Anne’s visit in Rome. In the evening，she went to enjoy the night view in the city, without the officials to allow. She met a kind reporter from U.S.A. two people take the trip together. And they felt in love by time. But the officials discovered princess’s

disappearance, and they all had a lot of icy perspiration. Finally the princess gave up the love between her and the reporter in order to perform her princess’s duty.

The film itself is a classic of romantic wish fulfillment, exactly the sort of beautiful lie that Hollywood specialized in. Filmed in Rome, ''Holiday'' imagines that a sweet, stressed-out visiting junior royal, Princess Ann of some tiny duchy or other, would kick over her traces and slip into the night just as the sedative her doctor gave her takes effect. She awakens in the

shoebox apartment of an American, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck). Being a gentleman, he has not taken advantage of this woozy angel. Being not too much of a gentleman, he has made her sleep on the couch.

However, because understood oneself to the national responsibility, reason princess finally chose left own spouse, again turned over to the imperial family. Joyful and the short 24 hours had finished, princess or princess, common people or common people, but, many growth.

Meanwhile,understood the secret important to Ann,faced love and interest,Joe chose to quit the report about princess,although he would not get 5000 and would lead simply life. Unforgettable princess finally says “me most to love bravely, Rome!”She no longer is one only can nod, the smile, amenable is obedient constantly princess baby, but grows in order to has the opinion, has courage genuine princess.

Titanic

Maybe this is the fourth time that I watched this film.

Titanic is a romance, an adventure, and a thriller all rolled into one. It contains moments of exuberance, humor, pathos, and tragedy. In their own way, the characters are all larger-than- life, but they're human enough (with all of the attendant frailties) to capture our sympathy. Perhaps the most amazing thing about Titanic is that, even though Cameron carefully recreates the death of the ship in all of its terrible grandeur, the event never eclipses the protagonists. To the end, we never cease caring about Rose and Jack.

Titanic makes the "overblown movie" lists from several critics, endures extreme mockery and the ridicule of anyone who actually admits to liking it. This may have been due to people wanting to be different from the norm in 1997 and maybe this attitude never went away and too many people fell victim to it. Or maybe it was the cheesy scene's people like to imitate over and over which obviously must mean the entire movie is cheesy. However, I recently watched Titanic the other day and I'm going to say why I find it to my favorite movie of all time.

The ship Titanic itself expressed a mentally during this time period in which humans felt they could overcome Mother Nature. With the sinking of this ship it made people truly eat the words "Titanic is an unsinkable ship."

Without this love story you would have just come away with the basics of this story, the Titanic sinking. But this love story created sympathy in which you felt for Jack and Rose. It made you truly feel how the people on the Titanic were feeling at that exact moment. Families, loved ones and friends were being torn apart. Without the emotion created from the love story you wouldn't have felt nearly as sad or seriously towards what had actually happened to these people.

Brave heart

Today I watched the film named “Braveheart”, even though I have watched it before.

"Braveheart" received much criticism from certain History Buffs upon its release. They said that the filmmakers portrayed Scotsman William Wallace as a brave, heroic, good man. Gibson plays William Wallace, a Scot who decides to revolt against the British after his wife is killed by a pack of the thievin' scoundrels! The film is LOOSELY based on his life - since no one really knows much about Wallace other than what he did: free Scotland from the English for a while, so much of the story is made up.

This is a first director outing for Gibson, who not only gives us one of his best - if not the best - performance of his career, other than those great "Lethal Weapon" movies! He handles the direction very well for an actor-turned-director. He doesn't try anything memorable - no fancy camera sweeps to make us motion sick - but he directs the film like the old epics. One of many great things about the film.

The cinematography is excellent. I can't think of another film that is quite so beautiful to behold. It is truly wonderful to watch the surroundings fly by the screen, purely unadulterated.

As for Gibson's Scottish accent...well...he speaks surprisingly well with a Scottish accent, and doesn't sound like an American-Australian phony (isn't he an Aussie?). There is a great supporting cast in this film, as well, with a man in a rubber nose that you might not be able to place at first glance...James Horner's magnificent score is truly marvelous to behold. He mixes Scottish bagpipes and emotion into a little bundle that in and of it makes you feel emotional. It plays during the film at just the right moments and makes it easier to feel elated or depressed. All in all, I think that "Braveheart" stands as one of the best films I have ever seen. It is an epic in all sense of the word; I don't care how historically incorrect it is. If I wanted a history lesson, I wouldn't be going to see a film like this.

Hatchi:A Dog's Story

This is a simple story about a loyal dog. There is no intricate plot, and even it is only a straight still, but it was still moved me deeply with its most simple pieces of normal life which we can easily find around us such as the train station, the restaurant, the food stand and a warm home.

In the movie Hatchi crossed an ocean and thousands of miles of transportation by train, and then he met Parker (the main actor) in a snowy day. Because it was snowing and the dog, Hatchi, was lost. Parker took Hatchi back to his home, and then kept it. Parker treated it very well and so did Hatchi. When Hatchi had grown up, he fetched parker to work everyday.

All these years they played together, bathed together, slept together and Parker gave Hatchi full-body massage everyday. They just look like a couple. Parker looks happy because Hatchi is happy, and Hatchi’s happy due to Parker being happy.

This is Hatchi’s whole life. He almost spent all his life only doing one thing—waiting for its only friend Parker, waiting to complete the uncompleted engagement.

Hatchi’s story showed how great the power of loyalty and love is with all his life. He tell us what the real loyalty and true love is. Because of the real loyalty and true love Hatchi spent all his life waiting; because of the real loyalty and true love Hatchi sacrisficed all his youth just for waiting; because of the real loyalty and true love Hatchi abandon the warm house of Parker’s daughter. I think that is the real loyalty, the ture love. However, in our human life, how many of us can be as loyalty as an animal; how many person can be loyal to another one for even ten years? I think nobody can.

Homeless to Harvard

Yesterday I watched a film, called " Homeless to Harvard”, tells the story of a girl who overcome adverse conditions, and strive to forge ahead of the story. The heroine's parents are drug addicts and AIDS patients, her parents have no job, living in the slums, even the most basic living expenses for a child are taken by the mother to buy drugs, and her parents did not complain,

there is only love, she always persisted, even if a shelter was sent terrible spent her youth, she still has not changed, she and her mother live together once again and happy.

Just listen to the name we will find it a very inspirational movie. Recently stumbled always live, can not find the previous endurance, I'm not the university as a kindergarten, but the surroundings do like my childhood, do not worry about anything, had a very comfortable. I had the same poverty as the main character's childhood, but due to the diligent work of their parents. I was fortunate to have been present. I often think it is not me, my future they can not help me. Have the impulse to want to grow their own, but the inherent laziness, so I am against the original intention.

My life becomes better, because my parents. Because the main character has been, unfortunately, so continue to move forward The ordinary people just be satisfied now, do not make progress, or say no change in demand, so do all the cruising life, get out of another life. This is like I am now, there is no target time-consuming, people living with me are the same decadence. Our life seems to already have a conclusion, no longer need our efforts, or just need to pay a little bit to connect through life. However, who would be willing to do so over a lifetime, but, but we found it was already old, and no courage to fight again, so life is so decadent to go.
