玩具总动员Toy Story
Disney began making quality family shows again in the 1980s. A quality family show is one where the parents can enjoy it as much as the kids. "Toy Story" took it one step further and added state of the art technology to provide a wonderful Disney story. We all have wondered if our toys came alive, but we never knew that there would be so much team work.
Another genre that had been unsuccessful for years was the slapstick comedy. This story, Home Alone, about a little boy protecting his home from bumbling crooks had all of the right ingredients; good vs. bad, youth vs. age, and brain vs. brawn. The Rube Goldberg like contraptions coupled with the comedic talents of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci provide an entertainment that had almost become a lost art form.
The film, Dances With Wolves, was able to break the trend and deliver a compelling historical drama about life with the Sioux Indians. The buffalo hunt is spectacular and demonstrates the vastness and beauty of the country.
E. T. was directed by Steven Spielberg.
《E. T. 外星人》是由史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格导演的。
E. T. was first shown in 1982.
Spielberg got to make the story of E. T., one that still over 20 years later is reaching out and touching audiences.
斯皮尔伯格拍成了《E. T. 外星人》,20多年来这部电影仍让影迷们喜爱与感动着。
The film is set in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century.
It is still too early to tell what movies will become classics and what movies will become dated.
I’ve been in my movie business almost all my life.
我一生从事电影事业。
Chinese martial art comes together with Hollywood.
我国武术在好莱坞已有立足之地。
This film is rated G.
That movie had me on the edge of my seat.
That love story was too melodramatic.
A lousy movie cannot fool the audience.
I may feel different about any of these movies two years from now.
There are films revealing more social problems, such as racial or * discriminations, government corruption, the true color of so-called higher class. They make me more mature after watching them.
Those comedies, love stories and adventures are either na?ve or unrealistic.
I usually watch films through TV or VCD, DVD in my home.
Just like romance and comedy movie, a violent film relaxes and entertains millions movie fans. However uniqueness of violent movie is that it may have negative impact on people, particularly young audience.
For certain segment of audience, it may be harmful if being viewed without proper guidance and control.
There have been cases of crime in which offenders, when surveyed, revealed that they got the idea to commit a crime from violent movie.
We need to control access of violent movies to people under certain age and offer guidance to young viewers.
What''s the main difference between modern films and those in the past?
Okay, I think that modern films are less serious, um, because there is more comedy in these films. I would say, uh, hmm, that modern films are more relaxed. To begin, modern films are much more expensive to make and they have famous actors in them. There is also, uh, a lot of slang and violence and other cultural attributes in these pictures. As for the more classical pictures, they are classy and the actors and actresses dress more conservatively and there spoken, uh, English is more classic and proper. Older films teach values that all humans should have whereas, hmm, the newer films are just sometimes more about making money and people famous. In my opinion, I like the newer films better because, uh, overall they are just much more entertaining and the hmm, the older films are maybe, I guess, more about art and teaching.
