㈠ 求如何实现你的梦想——著名导演,电影制片人杰里·朱克英语原文演讲稿，你的回答讲给我很大的帮助，拜求！
Thank you Chancellor Wiley, distinguished platform party, friends, guests and the
very reason for our presence here today — the members of the class of 2003.
Before I start my remarks, I'd like everyone just to do something for me. Very simply
— so everyone can kind of just get to know everyone else — on the count of three, I'd
like everyone to turn around and shake the hand of the person sitting right behind you.
One, two, three — right now, everybody, please do that.
So, I guess you still have a few things to learn.
My parents cried when I left for California. Not because I was leaving, (but) rather, I
think, because they were afraid I'd be coming back. Not one teacher I ever had in
grade school, high school or college would've believed that there was even the
slightest chance that one day I would be asked to give the commencement address at a
major university.
Many, given the opportunity, would'樱差岁庆局ve bet large sums of money against it, putting up
their homes and children as collateral. Actually, I really like the idea of that, not
because I'm vindictive — although in a few minutes I'm going to read the names of all
the people in my life who never thought I would amount to anything — but because
life should be unpredictable. And I'm very grateful that I never wasted any time trying
to become somebody else's image of what I should be.
So, thirty-one years ago today, I drove from Madison, Wisconsin, to Los Angeles,
California. On the way, I passed Camp Randall, where my
college graation
ceremony was in progress. I thought about going to the ceremony, but it meant I
would've arrived in Hollywood one day later, and at the time I just didn'脊睁t see the point.
I wanted to get there.
Gertrude Stein once said about Hollywood, "When you get there, there is no 'there'
there." That's true. However, there will be a swimming pool and tennis court. In the

end, though, it's probably not enough to justify a life's journey. Getting there,
particularly in show business, is tough enough.
You need a combination of talent,
ambition, luck and a willingness to tell actors how beautiful they look today.
In retrospect, getting there was the easy part. Finding a "there" there is much harder.
So today, before you get into your cars and race off to the rest of your lives, I want to
give you some advice on how to get there. And I want to help make sure that when
you get there, you find a "there" there.
To that end, I will give you my five rules to think about, quickly forget, but years
from now kick yourself for not having listened to.
#1:
Don't think about your future, especially right now. You'll miss my speech. There
will be plenty of time to contemplate your future right after the ceremony, but then
you'll miss all the celebrating and alation. So just wait until you get home and have
a good think about something that will happen in the future that will make you happy.
When I graated from college, I spent a lot of time thinking about how cool it would
be to be on the Johnny Carson show. A few years later, it happened. We appeared on
the "Tonight" show, Joey Bishop was the guest host. We were dreadful. For years I ran
into people who would stop me and say, "Hey, I saw you on the "Tonight" show. Huh...
What's Joey Bishop like?" Eventually I got over the embarrassment, but I never got
those years back — years I spent waiting for some future event to make me happy. I
had tricked myself into thinking, "As soon as I get there, I'll be OK."
I work in a business where almost everyone is waiting
for the next big thing.
Sometimes it comes, and sometimes it doesn't. But it doesn't matter that your dream
came true if you spent your whole life sleeping.
So get out there and go for it, but
don't be caught waiting. It's great to plan for your future. Just don't live there, because
really nothing ever happens in the future. Whatever happens happens now, so live
your life where the action is — now. And one more thing: If you're going to be on
television, don't call your friends and tell them to watch until after you've seen it.
#2:
Don't do anything that 30 years from now you'll look back at and say, "Oh, my
God, why the hell did I do that?!" I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard
someone start a sentence with, "If only, when I was younger, I would have...." So I did
a little informal survey for you, and I found out that, amazingly, all these people had
the same regret. When they graated from college, sadly, they bought furniture.
This probably needs a little explanation. Right at this moment in your life, you are in a
unique position that you may never ever be in again. You have nothing to lose.
Everything you have acquired of value is locked inside you. If you have a dream, now
is the time to pursue it, before you buy furniture.

I was one of the lucky ones. I graated from the University of Wisconsin with no
employable skills, unless you count jury ty. It meant I had to start from scratch and
figure out where I fit in. I didn't have money, but I could afford to fail, and there were
many failures. But I found out what I was good at. I found something I loved. And
now I have furniture — lots of furniture.
#3:
Mrs. Zubatsky's law. One day when I was a kid, our house caught on fire in
Milwaukee. A large section of the wood shingle roof was burning as the fire trucks
pulled up. The firemen ran into the back yard with a large hose and began assembling
their metal ladders and positioning them against the house.
Mrs. Zubatsky was our next door neighbor and, at the time, she was standing on her
upstairs porch taking in the laundry. She watched anxiously as the firemen struggled
with their ladders. Suddenly she leaned over the balcony and shouted down to the
professional firefighters, "Forget the ladders! Just point the hose at the fire!" The
firemen, to their credit, responded immediately. They dropped their ladders, pointed
the hose at the fire and extinguished the blaze in about 40 seconds.
There are two morals to this story. One, never assume that just because it's someone's
job, they know how to do it. And two, don't let yourself be intimidated by
professionals or their uniforms.
Growing up in Wisconsin, I never knew anyone in the movie business. I never even
knew anyone who knew anyone in the movie business. That world had a mystique
that made it seem unattainable to me. But, like Mrs. Zubatsky, I sat on my porch and I
watched someone else do it, and I said, "I have a better idea." And like her, I seized
the moment.
If you have a better idea, if your plan makes more sense, if you have a vision, then put
down your laundry and scream a little bit. Throw your hat into the ring and never let
the
professionals or their uniforms prevent you from telling anyone where to point
their hose.
#4:
If you're going to fail, fail big. If you don't, you're
never going to make a
difference. Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which
ones to keep. Ask yourself one question: If I didn't have to do it perfectly, what would
I try? For many of you, the biggest obstacle to getting there will be the fear that you
have carried with your since childhood — the fear of humiliation, of embarrassment,
of ridicule. That is SO stupid! Oh ... sorry. But really, you have to stop caring about
that, which brings me to Travolta's law.
My brother David and Jim Abrahams and I were having pie at Rumpelmeyer's Coffee
Shop in New York on the day after our third movie, "Top Secret," opened. The
reviews were terrible and it was bombing at the box office. We were really getting
4
/

into some serious moping and self-flagellation when John Travolta walked in. We
knew him from the Paramount lot and he could see right away that we were in a funk.
We immediately poured out our heart to him, explaining the pain of our humiliating
misfortune.
I'm not sure what we were expecting, but John just smiled and said, "Guys, the thing
you have to remember is (that) nobody else is paying as much attention to your
failures as you are. You're the only ones who are obsessed with the importance of
your own life. To everyone else, it's just a blip on the radar screen, so just move on.
By the way, are you going to finish that pie?"
I found that advice very liberating — that the only one who my big failure was truly
big for was me. So I thanked him and told him how beautiful he looked today, and
now when I fail big, I just go out and have a piece of apple pie and I move on. And I
always save a little piece for John Travolta. Amazingly, more often than not he shows
up to eat it.
The next time you go into a restaurant, please don't look at the waitress and say, "Can
I get some ketchup?" You're supposed to say, "May I please have some ketchup?"
Sorry — that doesn't count. Just a personal pet peeve of mine.
#5:
Don't overuse the word "love." Everyone overuses the word "love." "I love your
shoes." "I just love the new Justin Guarini CD." "I really love those little things they
put on the chicken sandwiches at Subway." In Hollywood, they say "Love ya, babe!"
So, OK, I get it. It's just the way people talk and it's probably harmless, but you
shouldn't forget the real thing. The real thing is great. It's just not so easy with actual
human beings, but if you work at it and you get it right, it will make you happier than
anything else you do in your life.
Think of the world as a big glass of water with some salt in it. You have a choice. You
can try to pick out all the salt or you can keep pouring in more water so eventually it
gets less bitter. As you begin your new journey, you can try to remove everything that
you find distasteful in the world, or you can just pour in more love. It's the only thing
that the more you give away, the more you have.
㈡ 口语介绍一部电影或演员
“Forrest Gump” is a definitive American movie. In its dialogues, humorous wits are shined by the teeth and flipped(轻弹；弹投) through tongues, especially from Forrest, who is with a marginal IQ, but leads a very charmed life. Rhetoric, as the main carrier of language, is very important in humors’ designs in “Forrest Gump”. In this movie, much main rhetoric is used in the dialogues, like anti-climax, comparison, hyperbole(夸张法), pun, transfer and irony, which carry millions of Forrest Gump’s style humors to us. In the following, the article will discuss how humors are represented through applications of other rhetoric in the dialogue of “Forrest Gump”.
marginal: Barely within a lower standard or limit of quality.
rhetoric: The art or study of using language effectively and persuasively.
1. Anticlimax and humor
In “American Traditional Dictionary”, anticlimax is defined as “A sudden descent in speaking or writing from the impressive or significant to the ludicrous or inconsequential, or an instance of it”. Anticlimax is a most popular carrier of humor in movies, because it is easy to be understood by the audiences and effectively brings them surprises and humors. In “Forrest Gump”, Forrest always uses anticlimax to catch audiences’ attention and interesting, and then he “fools” them with unexpected ends. Forrest is not only a stupid with a small IQ, but a master of language with great humor and wit. He fools people, who treat him as a fool.
Example 1
Forrest: Now the really good thing about meeting the President of the United States is the food.
Here is a classic anticlimax humor. In the dialogue, Forrest uses some descriptive words, “ really”, “of the United States”, to show us what a good thing he will share with us.
In front of the word of “good”, he adds emphasized word- “really”, which makes us believe that the thing he will mention is absolutely good for Forrest.
Meanwhile, in common people’s opinion, President is a big guy in the country. Especially when it is formally modified by “of the United States”, it is naturally to tell people “Attention, please. Ladies and Gentlemen. There must be something very, very important to be said by Forrest”. So we focus our attentions on what Forrest will say in the following. But for our surprise, the answer is “the food”. It is absolutely out of our expectation, and forms an anticlimax humor.
modify: 修饰，限制；更改，修改
The same type of dialogue by Forrest appears again in this movie. In Vietnam, Forrest says, “The good thing about Vietnam is there was always some place to go”.
As we all know, Vietnam is a nightmare for most Americans, which affects almost one generation. It hurts Americans much, so that many Americans are afraid to mention it, even today. But in Forrest’s opinion, there is a good thing about Vietnam, which puzzles us and pushes us to the curiousness, “what does he consider as the good thing in the Vietnam – the American heart-broken land. The end is simple and with some kind of stupid, which makes us feel humorous.
Example 2
Bubba: …… My given name is Benjamin Beauford Blue. People call me Bubba, ……
Forrest: My name’s Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.
This is dialogue between Bubba and Forrest in their first meeting. As conventions, they should introce themselves. For Bubba, he has a very long formal name (I think the screenwriter designs this long name deliberately). So it is certainly shortened by people in daily life, and it is also easily accepted by us. After hearing Bubba’s introction, we may have thought Forrest would use his famous introction to shine himself- “ My name’s Forrest. Forrest Gump. But the screenwriter(剧作家) escapes from the conventional pattern. He thinks the answer as a real low-IQ, “ Bubba said the complete name firstly and then told me the shorten name. I shall answer it in the same form, which will be polite.” So in the movie, Forrest firstly introces his whole name – Forrest Gump. And then he shall tell us the name, which people call him formally. We also eagerly want to know, “How do people call Forrest Gump? Is it ‘Forrest’ or else?” But even Forrest himself doesn’t know it. After hard-thinking, he tells Bubba the exact same one, which make us funny.
Example 3
Forrest: Now because I’d been a football star and a war hero and a national celebrity and shrimping boat captain and a college graate, the city of Greenbow, Alabama decided to get together and offered me a fine job. ……
Forrest succeeds finally. He is a football star so that he is an idol（偶像） of Americans, who are crazy about the American football. He survives from Vietnam with a medal so that he wins fames in the political society. He can play ping-pong like a maniac, and visits China as one member of the All-American Ping Pong Team, which is the first American social group comes to China after 1949 and carrying famous Ping Pong Diplomacy. So he becomes a national celebrity after getting home and makes TV program with John Leon (the spirit of Beatles). Of course, Forrest also creates lots of amazing experiences, which shock the whole nation, like discovering Watergate scandals. Above all, He is one of millionaires, who are loved by American people so much. In a word, he catches Americans’ eyes from almost every class. And he can be described in one simple sentence, “ Forrest is a famous, wealthy and ecated man”. Without doubt, he is an ideal candidate to the President of United State.
Forrest is so famous and important that the city of Greenbow, Alabama should get together and consider all things seriously. And then the government “offered me a fine job”. What’s the fine job? Everybody is expecting the answer eagerly. We should think, “ Maybe President is a bit of difficult for Forrest. Congressman is right, who needn’t to consider all things” But the government gives Forrest a more difficult job, an absolute technical job- gardener, far from our expectation.
2．Comparison and Humor
In real life, comparison always lies here and there. People like to compare one item to another in order to make things clear or express something special. In movies, comparison is always magnified artistically, and it sometimes turns into sharply contrasting. In this way, some humors appear.
Example 1
Doctor: …… But his back is as crooked as politician. ……
Here is a very short and clear comparison. I guess some China people don’t really understand the comparison and know what the humor is in this sentence. The reason lies in the background knowledge about Americans’ political opinions.
Only from this simple sentence, we can glimpse Americans’ typical opinion on politicians. They feel contempt for this kind of “political animals” because they think politicians always lie in public and not feel a thing. They usually waste money from taxpayers and do nothing. And some of them like to chase girls or make one another scandals. They are not normal people, and not moral people at the same time. So the doctor comparing Forrest’s back to politician’s twisting in the morality, just tells us Forrest’s back isn’t very strait. He makes one American humor, vivid and ethical.
Example 2
Mrs. Gump: Remember what I told you Forrest. You’re no different than anybody else is. Did you hear what I said, Forrest? You are the same as everybody else. You are no different.
Mr. Hillcock (the principal): Your boy’s different, Mrs.Gump. His IQ is 75.
Mrs. Gump: Well, we’re all different, Mr. Hillcock.
Here are two comparisons in dialogues. In first plot, Mrs. Gump emphasizes to Forrest he is exactly as same as everybody else. He is normal and not stupid. She specially emphasizes the last sentence – You are no different. As soon as her voice ends, the director changes to another plot, and the principal tells Mrs. Gump seriously “ You boy is different”. Then he further tells Mrs. Gump a cruel fact –“His IQ’s 75”, to testify that Forrest is a real stupid. This forms a very sharply contrasting. It is so sharply that we can’t feel a little funny
Instead, we feel very sorry for Forrest’s mama because it is not easy to be accepted by a mother when others tell her that her child is a stupid. Some of them maybe react it strongly, sad or mad. But for Mrs. Gump, she answers it wittily. “ We’re all different”, implying “My son might be a bit on the slow side. It’s just a little different. And it’s normal because we’re all different in the world. So my son is going to get the same opportunity to go to school as everyone else.”
She is a great mother with great humorous sophism.（诡辩）
Example 3
Lt. Dan: …… If you’re ever a shrimp（一种虾） boat captain, that’s the day I’m an astronaut（宇航员）.
Forrest meets Lieutenant Dan in New York City when he gets home from China. They go to a bar to celebrate New Year. Forrest tells Lt. Dan he will keep promise with Bubba, so he will buy one shrimping boat as soon as he has some money. Lt. Dan doesn’t believe that, because he knows Forrest is a fool, who isn’t able to do any business by himself. Yes, he gets the Congress Medal, but Dan thinks it is a stupid thing what Goddamn（该死的） American government does to make a fool out of himself. He doesn’t really look down Forrest, but he really doesn’t believe he can do something. Meanwhile, he maybe considers he shall be the real backbone （支柱、骨干）of America who ought to receive the Congress Medal. And only the men like him are the hope of America. But he is nothing now, even no legs. How could he chase his dream? He gets nothing from government but alms and neglect. He resents the government who rubbishes him and has some envy to Forrest because he gets honor he dreams for.
So when Forrest says he will be the captain, he shouts to the crowds and says to Forrest bitterly “if you’re ever a shrimp boat captain, that’s the day I’m an astronaut.” Please remember the time when the story happened – about in the early of 1970’s. It is shortly after the first astronaut- Neil Armstrong lands the moon. At that time, to be an astronaut is an unrealized dream for almost all mankind. How does it come to a legless? Lt. Dan uses two positions to compare in order to tell Forrest, “ Don’t be silly, you will never be a captain.” But he selects a humorous and ironical way to express it.
3．Hyperbole and Humor
In “American Traditional Dictionary”, hyperbole is defined as “A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in ‘I could sleep for a year’ or ‘This book weighs a ton.’” For Chinese people, humility is good virtue, and we think American is too simple and childish. Why? One important reason is that many Americans usually describe things or express feelings in some exaggerated ways. Sometimes, the exaggerations are far from the common sense and make some kind of humors. In “Forrest Gump”, the hero-Forrest Gump is an honest braggadocio, who adds a lot of humorous color to the dialogues.
Forrest: Hello. My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump. You wanna chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half of these. My mama always said, “ Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Those must be comfortable shoes. I bet you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that.
The dialogue is at the beginning of the movie. Forrest sits on a bus bench and talks to a strange nurse. Forrest boasts he can eat about a million and half of chocolates. It is a typical American exaggeration, obvious and humorous. Of course, it is very easy for us to know that no one is able to eat so many chocolates as a human, maybe God will. Here Forrest overstates it in one billion of times, through which and with the tone of speaking, we will easily find Forrest is not in normal IQ.
In the following sentences, Forrest’s speech reveals some simple life philosophy. And at the last of his first important speech, Forrest, as other Americans, begins to flatter the nurse by her shoes and he uses another exaggeration- and not feels a thing.
Only from these words, Forrest shows us he is not a common people. He is something.
4．Pun and Humor
John Dryden describes the pun as “ to torture a poor word in tens of thousands of ways”. And in “Collinth English Dictionary”, pun is “the use of words or phrases to exploit ambiguities and innuendoes(暗讽、影射) in their meaning, usually for humorous effect.”
ambiguity: Doubtfulness or uncertainty as regards interpretation:
含糊不清；不明确解释有疑问或不确定
Pun is the main carrier in humors, which are printed in texts. Puns usually need the receivers to chewing it over and over and finding something funny. So it’s not easy for audiences to tell the pun and feel humorous when they enjoy one movie just for one time. However, puns still are often used in movies with some simple forms.
Forrest: What’s going on?
Student: Coons are trying to get into school.
Forrest: Coons? Well, raccoons try to get on our back porch, mama, just chases them of with a broom.
Here is a very simple and interesting Meaning Pun used in the dialogue. The screenwriter uses a homograph（同形异义字）- coon, which has two meanings. One is “A carnivorous（食肉类的） North American mammal（哺乳动物） having grayish-brown fur, black mask like facial markings, and a black-ringed bushy（浓密的） tail”. The meaning is what Forrest thinks. Another is “Used as a disparaging term for a Black person”, like the word of nigger. Here the student intends to tell Forrest that two niggers try to enroll in the college.
disparaging: 蔑视的, 毁谤的, 轻视的
coon: [动]浣熊, 无可救药者, <蔑>黑人
nigger: <美>被歧视者, 黑鬼(对黑人的蔑称)
In American history, the state of Alabama is one of the most serious states, which imposing the social separation of races. And the University of Alabama is the last college forbidding the Black registering in. We also can be certain that many people in this college, or even in the whole state, are not friendly to the Black. So the student picks an insulting word referring to the Black students. But for Forrest, he has no opinion of race discrimination. He thinks it is normal for the Black to enter the college and study with them. But it won’t cause so many people, even the Governor, the Commander and so many reporters, to attention it. It must be coons (animals) trying to get into the school, which surely is a big interesting thing for Forrest. But he also doesn’t understand why the small animals will cause so many big figures to the college. He thinks his mama and a broom are much enough to chase them off. The screenwriter uses a pun building a simple and pure Forrest’s image.
5．Irony and Humor
Irony is “An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning”, usually for humorous or rhetorical effect. Ironies are widely used in the movies’ dialogues. You should have the capacity of good sense of humor and knowledge in American cultures.
Forrest: I only caught five
Boat Salesman: A couple more and you can have yourself a cocktail. ……
Although Bubba tells Forrest everything about shrimping, but Forrest still finds that shrimping is tough. One day, he only catches five after a-whole-day hard working. The boat salesman just makes a joke to Forrest in order to cheer him up. Meanwhile, he also tells Forrest a fact that Forrest catches too few.
There is also a background about the shrimp cocktail. Shrimp cocktail is a mixture of small pieces of shrimp, served cold and eaten at the beginning of a meal. It is usually an appetizer. So the number of shrimps that are used in the shrimp cocktail is not big. Several are enough. Here the boat salesman just uses the cocktail to make fun of the number of shrimps Forrest catches.
6．Transfer and Humor
Transfer is to convey or cause to pass from one place, person, or thing to another. In dialogues, talkers usually convey one topic to another one, or change from one focus to another. Especially when the question is too sharp or not convenient to answer. Sometimes one talker is deliberate to transfer the topic in order to avoid hurting another talker. The transfer in dialogues often causes some unexpected effects, like humor.
Officer: Private Gump
Forrest: Yes, sir
Officer: As you were. I have your discharge papers. Your service is up, son.
Forrest: Does this mean, I can’t play ping pong no more?
Officer: For the army it does.
In this dialogue, the officer sends the discharge papers to Forrest and tells him his service in army is over. But for Forrest, the first response is he can’t play ping pong any more. He makes us a surprise and fun because there is no directly connection between playing ping pong and ending service in the army. It is according to Forrest’s intelligent level, which makes him think everything straightly.
For the officer, he certainly knows Forrest is not high in his IQ. And he doesn’t answer the question directly, like “ No, my son. You can continue to play ping pong. But blah, blah, blah.” He answers the Forrest’s stupid question from another angle. Only by a few words, the officer explains the thing clearly, even for Forrest.
blah: Dull and uninteresting
Conclusion
Of course, the humors of movie are represented not only in the dialogues, but also in the design of plots or actors’ body languages. this is banner
In “Forrest Gump”, the screenwriter and director hide lots of humors in the designation of plots. For example, Forrest rubs elbows with many famous personalities over the last half of the century including Elvis Presley, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. And he also involves in many big events in the history of America, like Vietnam War, Ping Pong’s Diplomacy and Watergate Scandal.
As to body languages, we have to mention a great master, – Charlie Chaplin. You would find it difficult not to laugh at his early films. Of course, Tom Hanks is also a good actor, who surely acts a gifted fool perfectly through his eyes, expression and his actions. We can find lots of humors in his acts.
Totally, the humor is a very distinguished characteristic in American Movies. It is usually represented to audiences by dialogues, plots and actors’ body languages. Especially in dialogues, humors are vivid and witty through applying some rhetoric.
I will end my paper by some integrated words from “Forrest Gump”: Hello. My name’s Forrest, Forrest Gump. I might be a bit on the slow side. But my mama says “stupid is as stupid does”. I have no ideas to be famous and just want to be me. But for no particular reason, I’d been a football star and a war hero and a national celebrity and shrimping boat captain and a college graate. My mama always said, “Life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” I just do the best with what God gave me, and you?
㈢ 书面表达,上周六,你去看了电影《小屁孩日记》(diary of a wimpy kid)。电影讲

美国电影《阿甘正传》的英语观后感
壹
When I first saw this movie I didn't appreciate it like I do now. Because I was so young that I didn’t get the main idea when I first saw it. Just recently I saw the movie again. What an amazing and moving story. That movie teaches you so much about life and the meaning of it. That life isn't as bad as most people feel. Forrest Gump, the innocent man can impact so many lives with his innocence. The meaning of the movie to me is that everyone needs to have a better outlook on life. That we need to appreciate more of the little things and not let the big things hold us back. Although life may throw us trials and tribulations like a box of chocolates, we just have to bite into it and get through it even if we don't like it. I just love this movie. And anyone who hasn't seen it or who thinks that don't like it I seriously suggest seeing it or seeing it again. It truly is amazing...

To be honest, this is the first time I ever write a review of a movie. And this beginning is a tough one—with an Oscar winner as its subject, surrounding which there is considerably controversy over the values it has questioned, the thoughts it tried to implicitly convey, and the art of the movie itself. The following discussion will go on as a dissection of this movie into several aspects. This dissection is, however, necessarily incomprehensive, and I would just try to make it a original review in the eyes of a busy, yet inspirational student of science who, from time to time, glances at the palace of arts with admiration and, more importantly, love.Forrest Gump> Film review Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, usually, people always think this kind of person can’t be successful in doing anything. But, instead, this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible success, he is a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire! In the contention of the best picture of the 67th Oscar Award in 1995, film <Forrest Gump> Have got six Grand Prixes , such as the best picture , the best actor , the best achievement in directing , adapting drama , the best achievement in film editing and the best visual effect bestly ,etc. at one blow . The film was passed to a intellectual disturbance person the description of life has reflected every aspect of U.S.A.’s life, important incident of social political life make and represent to these decades such as U.S.A. from one unique angle. Film adapt Winston · novel of the same name of Groom since. Only the original work is that one is full of fantastic novels with a satiric flavour, but the film modifies and beautifies the story. Have abandoned the absurdity of the original work and revealed that satirizes meaning , have added a kind of tender feeling for the film. This undoubtedly makes the film suit audience and judging panel’s taste even more, but has sacrificed the struggle spirit of the rebel of the original work , make the film become one kind and idealize ethical symbol . Forrest Gump mould incarnation of virtue is honest keeping one’s word , conscientiously , brave paying attention to emotioning among film. In the film, Forrest Gump is a very pure image, but Jenny has become the degenerate symbol . And write the great discrepancy originally in this. To all that narrated, since beginning all behave with a kind of tender feeling and well-meaning attitude after all for the film, having even joined poesy composition, this makes the film seem soft and have no injury.

《玫瑰花与水晶鞋》观后感
壹
In my opinion this is the best Cinderella story that there is. The characters are fantastic! With all their different personalities coming together, it really makes the story fun to watch. And the music is wonderful, the songs are beautiful and catchy but not cheesy. The story line has more of a twist, in that the dream doesn't come true right when the slipper fits. If you love fairy tales and whimsical romances, this is the perfect movie for you.

I watched this movie when it first came out thirty years ago. The music is wonderful. Just what you would expect. The take on the story is a little different but not so different as to disappoint diehard Cinderella fans. There is more of a back story to the Prince and a new dilemma keeping him and Cinderella apart. The stepmother and stepsisters are divine. They nailed the parts. The fairy godmother is a riot and probably my favorite character in this movie. The incidental love story of the prince's companion-at-arms and a lady-in-waiting is very charming. I have always loved fairy tales and I was not disappointed in the retelling of one of the world's favorites.
哭泣游戏(又译：乱世浮生)
The Crying Game
This highly original film put screenwriter-director Neil Jordan on the
international map. The story begins at a carnival in Ireland with British soldier Jody (Forest Whitaker) kidnapped by IRA terrorists Jude (Miranda Richardson) and Fergus (Stephen Rea). Fergus is assigned to guard Jody, and they become friends. After the kidnapping goes horribly wrong, Fergus escapes to London to track down Jody's girlfriend, Dil (Jaye Davidson), to fulfill a promise to Jody and ends up falling in love with her. The only problem--well, it's not the only problem--is Jude has also come to London with news that the IRA is after Fergus and has a dangerous new mission in mind.
喜剧动物片 101真狗
my personal favorite "101D" medium is Disney's "101 Dalmatians: the Series". It combines many themes of the existing material (Dodie Smith book, 1961 and 1996 movies). But still does its own things, too.
Our main pups include brave Lucky, who gets a strong personality mirroring his character in the book, lovable Rolly, the gourmand of the pups, and sweet little Cadpig, who is the true runt of the litter. Also there is Spot the chicken, who longs to be a dog. I find them all extremely amiable and enjoyable to watch. They are usually foiling Cruella's schemes for their land, or outwitting Lt. Pug (I'll get to him later), or sneaking into Grutely, or...just having fun, making a very likable show.
动画喜剧 海底总动员
Somewhere, under the sea, weak-finned clown fish Nemo (Alexander Gould) lives with his fretful father, Marlin (Albert Brooks). Smothered by pop's paranoia, he ventures away from the reef, but his dad's dread is justified when a passing diver whisks him away.
Taken to a tank in a Sydney dentists, Nemo meets Gill (Willem Dafoe) and co - friendly fish who dream of escaping to the ocean. Meanwhile, Marlin bumps into a blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), and sets out to save his son...
The splendour of natural history hit The Blue Planet is matched by the wit of the script and stars. Barry Humphries has a terrific cameo as a great white shark who's sworn off killing (Remember, fish are friends, not food!), while DeGeneres provides perfect timing and tone as Dory, whose short-term memory loss is a gag that never stops running
泰坦尼克号
After the appreciation of the film “Titanic”, I have noticed some meaningful details behind the peoples’ general impression of simply an affectional film. The wreck of the Titanic occurred in 1912, in which the great recession started from the end of the 19th Century still hasn’t ended. Most critics pointed out that the sinking of the Titanic represents the collapse of the Capitalism in the end of the 19th Century. However, I would like to say that, in this movie, the director had not only foreran the crisis of the Capitalism, but also showed some of the human nature, from both gloomy and brilliant aspects, like selfish, mammonish, vainglorious, and love, hope, bravery, faith, and so on. In this essay, I will first reveal this film’s indication of the social context of that age, then I will analyse the two contrary aspects of human nature indicated in this film through some impressive shots.
Under the development of instrial technology, the economy in the Capitalism countries took off. People lived a rich, luxury and expensive life, and this rapid economic development lasted for almost 20 years. People had got used to this kind of life. The huge development in machinery changed people’s life greatly. Innovations of transportation, such as vehicles and tankers, allowed people to travel around. The appearance of these modern transportations was an important milestone of the instrialization. People thus became very confident on human intellectual capabilities. They believed their power of conquering the nature is inapproachable. While the Titanic is also called “The Ship of Dreamers”, in this film, when it bearing in with the ocean in the darkness, the mysterious ocean represents the unknown nature and the ship itself represents the advanced material capabilities people owned. In a shot that Mr Bruce explains his design of the Titanic, he said “the ship possesses huge size, stability, luxury, and strength”, and that” the supremacy will never be challenged”. In fact, all these words can be thought of the symbols of the Capitalism of that time in many people’s eyes. They thought the Capitalism is just like the Titanic, which should be “unsinkable”. The wonderful way of developing economy would stay in good condition eternally. However, things do not always follow the way people wish to be. The economic recession suddenly attacked the Capitalism countries at the end of the 19th Century. It was not until then that people did not realize the impracticality of their idealized “unsinkable” Capitalism. Capitalism will sink. And unfortunately it did sink. Just like the movie shows, when the ship broke into two parts and began to sink quicker and quicker, everybody knows the ship is going to sink, the priest kept reiterating to the disciples,” the former would has passed away.”
As to the human nature uncovered in this film, can be thought of from both negative and positive aspects. I will first elucidate some gloomy characteristics revealed by the film. The first impressive characteristic may be that the fiancé of Rose, Karl would gain his ends by fair means or foul. When he noticed that Rose has obliquity with Jack, he took out the necklace with a diamond of 56 carats named “the heart of the ocean”, to request Rose not to leave him. He knows that Rose doesn’t love him, but he chose to use money to keep Rose with him. When Titanic was sinking, both Jack and Karl were trying to trick Rose into getting on the accident boat. Since Karl had already bribed a sailor, he lied to Rose that he would ensure that Jack will also get on the boat. Nevertheless, when Karl himself was rejected to get on the accident boat, he again used an intrigue that he picked up an outcast child and pretended to be the father of the child, and managed to get on the accident boat. Another negative social mood of that time exposed by the film is vanity. Rose’s mother wanted to marry her daughter to Karl just because Karl is extremely rich, while she doesn’t care whether Rose loves him or not. When Jack wearing a suit borrowed from a woman to attend the dinner invited by Karl, he was respected by other guests. However, when he wore his own clothes maybe a little bit shabby, and tried to enter the ballroom to look for Rose, he was driven out by the two guards outside the ballroom. The two respondences depending on Jack’s appearance contrasted sharply, and really very shocking for us to imagine a society like that. Anyway, there are some brilliant aspects of human nature showed in this film. There is love, bravery, faith, and beliefs existing at the scene. The presence of love was impenetrated through the whole film. The love is not only expressed between Jack and Rose, but also exists among the families. When the water was poured into the ship, when men are forced to be obstructed from their wives and children, an old couple held each other tightly in the bed; a father comforted his daughter he will just leave her for a while, just a little while… When Titanic was sinking, some musicians were performing pieces of music, some disciples were praying to Virgin Mary around the priest on their knees…
In conclusion, the film of “Titanic” is not simply an affectional story between Jack and Rose. It shows more than love. The wreck of Titanic represents the collapse of the Capitalism, which is considered “unsinkable” by most people. The film also shows different aspects of human nature. Some people own strong vainglory, while some other possess much of love; still others are rich in firm faith and beliefs. We should always keep in mind that, no matter how enormous the calamity is, no matter how defective the people are, we should believe there are always more virtue than vice in the world…

这个杀手不太冷
This film was absolutely amazing. I have spent hours re-watching various scenes and noticing all the perfection with which they are acted and directed. It's not the violence or action sequences that make this movie so great (although they are well done...), but rather moments like where Mathilda knocks on Leon's door. It would be so easy to just film the door opening, but instead we see light illuminating Natalie Portman's face, symbolizing something angelic. And the moment has so much more meaning.
I know a lot of people who have seen this film because they are action fans. I'm not. But I'm glad I finally found it, because it's a wonderful film in so many other ways.
刮痧的英文观后感
壹:
Gua Sha is a movie about the differences between American and Chinese culture. Xu datong is a video games designer in St. Louis. When his father visits from China, he performs Gua Sha (a Chinese traditional treatment) on his grandson, which leaves bright red marks on the skin and causes a lawsuit of child abuse. In the court, Datong loses his mind so that finally he loses custody of his son. I think this scene is shocking and thought-provoking to most of the Chinese audiences. But the most impressing scene to me is the ending. Datong wants to see his son in Christmas eve, he has to climb a pipe to the ninth floor which his son lives. I think the pipe is not only a pipe, but also a gap, a deep gap between American and 5000-year Chinese culture. He wants to climb over the gap and he will never succeed, perhaps no Chinese people really could succeed.

It's about assimilation into American culture, and not assimilation in an ”International” city, like SF or NY or LA or Chicago, but St. Louis, MO (actually shot there). Really great acting, interesting story.
Gua Sha is a treatment in traditional oriental medicine in which a wooden board repeatedly slides across the patient's acupuncture acupressure massage points. It works in similar principles like that of acupuncture acupressure massage. This method would inevitably leave bruise on the skin, and the story
begins here, when the visiting grandpa who does not speak any English used this traditional practice to treat the grandson when both son and daughter-in-law were at work.
Sadly, in US, this is a story that repeats itself many times in the area where many oriental immigrants lives and all of these are e to simple misunderstanding between cultures.Gua Sha: Step-by-Step, by Arya Nielsen.If an acupuncturist is trained in Classical Chinese medicine, they will do this technique in their practice for pain, and for acute or chronic illness.
