第一篇:影评-父辈的旗帜(英语影评)
1945年2月,被喻为“太平洋的绞肉机”的硫磺岛战争结束。在战斗的第五天时,五名美军海军士兵、一名军医、一名随军记者一起“缔造”了一张英雄的照片,一张象征国家胜利的照片:他们将美国国旗插在了硫磺岛的制高点。当照片登上美国各大报纸头条的时候,当时的六名英雄中的三人甚至还不及知道自己成为英雄而英勇牺牲了。幸存下来的其余三人战后却对那场战争只字不提,仿佛他们未曾参与那场战争。因为他们不是为了成为英雄才走上战场,他们是为了国家而战,当他们看到身边的伙伴一个个倒下时,他们觉得生命的意义也在一点点流失……
传奇是后人谱写的,英雄是世人创造的,真正存在的只是真实而残酷的现实。电影《父辈的旗帜》围绕折钵山上插旗故事的来龙去脉,讲述了硫磺岛战役背后的故事,主题思想落脚在关于英雄的反思上。电影里有三条线场面交叉互放,一是原著作者采访当年战场老兵及其家父在家中的生前场景,一是硫磺岛的战况实景,还有就是三位幸存的插旗战士在全美各地巡游募捐的场景。主角自然是三位插旗的战士:John Bradley, Ira Hays和Rene Gagnanon。
一张照片的新闻轰动效应,比战争本身更有意义,甚至可以左右到战争的结果。那张战争胜利后获普利策新闻奖的插旗照片,后来成为邮票、海报、不可计数的杂志和新闻头条的材料。照片背后的故事却是很别样的普通寻常。
战场上,2月23日,登陆战第五天,进展极为缓慢艰难。全天,只右翼前进了约300米,左翼和中间毫无进展。唯一的战果是在折钵山山顶,升起了一面美国国旗。那一刻整个海滩舰船齐鸣、所有战士欢声雷动,电影场景壮观恢宏,美丽动人。后来,赶到硫磺岛视察的美军高级官员注意到折钵山山顶飘扬的国旗:“这面旗意味着海军陆战队从此之后五百年的荣誉!”军部领导人要收藏那面旗。电影里那个接到换旗命令的指挥官怒而愤言:“去死吧,这面旗属于全营的兵士。那个王八蛋以为我们在这拼命,就是为了把那面旗送给政客挂在墙上?真他妈的脑袋有毛病!”
四小时后,迈克的小分队更换掉第一面旗,插上另一面。那一刻天气晴好,美联社记者灵感一现,镜头拍摄下来的照片效果清晰。第一面插旗拍摄的胶片被海水溅湿了。
没人知道这是第二面旗,都只是看过照片就编造故事。英雄故事里的六个人,汉克甚至不在照片上。他升的是第一面,哈伦.布洛克才真在这张升旗照片里。
那真正带来欢愉与欢呼的旗帜是哪一面不重要,那头一次树起旗杆的六位英雄究其名谁不重要。重要的是这张照片刊登在两百多家日报首页后所带来的新闻效应。国家政客要的只是小小图片带来的新闻效应。这插旗英雄带来的新闻效应导致三位幸存的硫磺岛战士John Bradley, Ira Hays 和Rene Gagnanon被从战场上召回。战争的实际,像战场的炮灰,残酷得让人难以置信。三个普通战士,募捐巡游中在眼前不停回放的,是战场中一起插旗的战友,在枪炮浴血中一个一个地离去。在政客眼里,插旗英雄是谁才不重要,照片是一钱不值的东西。与插旗烈士的“金星”母亲见面聚餐会只是最好的募捐噱头。这次发起的140亿军债促销叫强势第七届,前三届加起来都没有这么多。于是,经受过炮火洗礼的“英雄”,要在运动场的礼炮声中再来一次插旗道具表演,在人群的呐喊声与礼花齐鸣声中,Ira与Bradley(约翰.布莱德利)眼中不断回放起战场里的场景,痛苦难忍地与眼前的欢景一一反照。两个月的巡游,个性敏感甚有道德良知的Ira实在无法忍受,他授受不了一路的英雄颂扬而一路不停地酗酒、呕吐,终至提前返回战场,返回之前想去看一眼老母亲的要求都没能满足。Bradley是一个很理性也很有头脑的人,他负责走完整个巡游。在两个月内双倍完成二百八十亿的募捐任务。只不过,募捐之后,他避隐到一家殡仪馆靠静悄悄打理冷门生意渡过余生,儿子生前甚至都不知道他是二战英雄。Gene不一样,在战场上他是表现最差的战士,只落得被迈克留给首长做通信兵。没拉开过一次枪栓,可是在募捐途中却很享受英雄的荣誉。只是这荣誉也没给他带来什么好处。巡游过后,作为一个过气的英雄,他只落得个守门人的职位了却后半生。电影里最动人也最有寓义的,是海军陆战兵医护人员Bradley在战场四处救助伤病的场景。影片开篇就是铁灰战场上四处喊叫“医护兵”救助的梦景。影片后半部分,一名医护兵倒下了,脖子上血如泉涌,Bradley已经尽全力救治。而那个医护兵仍旧望着他,他明明知道脖子中弹意味着什么,他知道自己快死了,但是,他仍然期盼医生能救他,可是Bradley办不到。影片中印象特别深刻的是硝烟战场处处升起的Doc(医生)或Corpsman(医护兵)的唤叫。Bradley是一名非常优秀的海军陆战队医护兵。他在未能救活另一名医护兵的神志恍惚中,腿上中弹。痛苦万分里,又听到不远处corpsman的叫声,在战地的雨中,Bradley拖着伤腿移到伤兵的身边,后来,几因失血过多而死。那战场演员表现分外动人的一幕幕让观众不由沉沉反思战场救助的真切意义? 画面上游泳的场景很美,影片快结束时,片尾升起特别优美的全排兵士游泳曲目音乐。
父亲是对的。也许根本就没什么英雄,都是些像父亲样的普通人。所谓的英雄,只是人们想像与自身需要的产物。为什么那些人愿意为我们做出如此大的牺牲?对父辈来说,他们曾经的冒险与受伤,只是为了身边的战友。也许他们是为祖国而战,但他们的死是为了自己的同胞,为那些并肩作战的兄弟!我们如果真心想纪念他们,就应该明白这些,像父亲那样去怀念他们!
至少,这是一部打动人的电影,特别是当结尾字幕升起后,一张张发黄的照片伴随着镌永的吉它声在银幕上淡出时,看着洋溢在那些年轻面庞上的阳光,很难不动容,百分之七十的伤亡率注定了他们中的大部分只能将青春永远定格在那一刻。总觉得,无论是出于多么崇高的原因,鲜活生命的逝去始终是一件让人伤感的事情。
然后我又想起电影开头时的旁白,“很多人都以为了解战争,尤其是那些没有参与其中的人们”。那场旷世的战争对于世界、对于历史都有着决定性的意义,所以那些发黄的照片在我们这些没有经历过那段历史的人们看来是多么震憾而珍贵,在某种程度上,我们把照片上的人们都当作创造历史的英雄。然而对于当事人来说,那场战争也许带给他们一生挥之不去的伤害,但终究只是他们人生的一段经历,那些照片终究只是他们人生中一个片断的写照和纪念。战争结束后,大多数人都必然要回归普通的家庭生活,变回推销员、殡葬馆老板和看门人,甚至在烈日下默默地死去。而那些再也没有走下战场的人,我们永远也不会知道战争对于他们的意义,正如我们不会知道落入日本战壕的伊奇有会怎样的结局。百年之后的敬仰、悲伤和反思不会改写历史,同样也不太可能会影响未来。深刻,不过是世人一厢情愿的自慰而已。
我喜欢这个电影的结尾:把旗杆立在山头之后,小伙子们暂时忘记了战争,到海岛边迎着汹涌而来的一波一波海浪,他们在海水嬉戏,像一群孩子。海滩上只留下了一串串脚印。
所有的烈士、英雄,其实都是人。他们不是神,不可能没有任何缺点。但是,他们在他们所处的情景中,做出了自己应该做的;或者是别人没有做、不敢做,而他们不但做到了,而且做得更加出色的事。这就是英雄。什么“为了XX”的都是平时闲下来的时候喊的号子,战场上以命换命的时候哪想得到这么多。只有战友的生命,才是这些伟人肯心甘情愿拿自己的生命去交换的东西。所以,“If we wish to truly honor these men, we should remenber them the way the really were” 如果我们想要真正尊敬并瞻仰他们,就应该铭记他们真实的一面。
可是最终,这面旗帜还是打动了我,不是因为什么大片,不是因为战争,不是电影的技巧(这些不了解,无法评价),只是人生,寻求真相的过程(这个刚刚开始了解,也还不懂)。
老人,记忆,谈话,巡回的,在所有人包围和赞誉声中的英雄,在岛上的残酷。没有太多关于敌人的描写,日本人的出现更多的只是冰冷的枪炮,照片,和尸体,没有日本人行为的可笑和笨拙来衬托己方的英雄。剃头,在紧张中的谈笑,逃离战场。。。一切都是自然的,就这样发生了。当你不小心走入这个不知道由谁的手推动的战争的时候,要面对的似乎就是这样的过程,剩下的可以更改的,不同的部分似乎就是每个人的个性,本色演出。赤裸和无奈,真实而美好。终于观影结束了,听着片尾的背景音乐,看着缓缓出现的战时记录照片以及相关字幕,感觉音乐还真不错——弦乐似在触动引发人们的回忆与思考,与若有若无、由远而近、低沉雄浑的背景整体交响乐相互应,听上去有点敏锐、沉寂、沧桑,又有点警示感,还有点厚重感,仿佛担忧人们对影片参悟不透似的。
英雄是我们创造出来的,因为我们需要英雄。对他们而言冒着生命危险、枪林弹雨,为的是他们的战友……他们为国而战,但为友而死,是为了他们身前身后的普通战友们……如果我们想要真正铭记这些人就应该还他们以本色,正如我父亲做的那样……的确,我承认这不是一部战争片,而是一部发人深省的电影,它抛弃了以往战争电影的俗套,没有过多的激战,它以一个医护兵的视角向人们阐述了战争的残酷和无奈。并向人们说明:战争不是人民的想法,它只是国家机器在运作中过激的行为,它可以是政客墙上不朽的功勋,但也是人们心里永远的伤痛影片中老兵的回忆给我映像最深,他说:“你的父亲是个好人,他救了我,我活着,然后我救了很多人。”很质朴的话但我却忘不了。
《父辈的旗帜》从老迈的Bradley的回忆开始倒叙,然后通过三个人从战场归来后的生活穿插“硫磺岛战役”的重现。是克林特伊斯特伍德全景式呈现硫磺岛战役的第一部分,影片从美军的角度切入,竖起象征战役胜利的旗帜的著名照片作为一个贯穿数十年回忆的关键物品,惨烈的登陆战役、英雄归国筹款宣传、当事人的个人回忆这三条线索交织在一起,淡化战争的背景突出战争本身残酷性是诸多导演惯用的手法,影片有不逊于《拯救大兵瑞恩》的残酷登陆战场面,和硫磺岛来信一样,血腥残酷的战争场面并不是重点;而这场战争和插旗事件给几名相关士兵带来的冲击却是更引入深思的地方。只是注定的结局难免让人为他们遗憾。
一张经典照片
“你真的无法辨认照片中人们的脸孔,所有人都是无名英雄,所以,你会有一种想要深入了解他们的渴望,想要让他们变得鲜活起来。”1945年美联社战地摄影记者乔·罗森塔尔拍摄的《国旗插在硫磺岛上》在《生活》杂志发表后引起轰动,赢得了当年的普利策新闻摄影奖,这张照片表现了美军海军陆战队员攻占硫磺岛主峰后将国旗插上山顶的情景,后成为美国精神的象征,被美国摄影杂志评价为“那一刻,照相机记录了一个国家的灵魂!”这张照片后来被塑成雕像、印成邮票、刻在纪念币和徽章上,在图书、电影中也多次用到,它不仅给作者带来一生的荣耀,也对后人产生了不小的影响,连奥斯卡名导克林特·伊斯特伍德也深受感动,并从中汲取了拍片灵感与动力。2006年8月20日,乔·罗森塔尔走完了94年人生,在旧金山去世,没有等到伊斯特伍德这部震撼新作的上映。
“在美国华盛顿广场上,树立着了一座雕塑——在枪林弹雨中,六个美国士兵将一面美国国旗插上了硫磺岛最高点。那是美国二战历史中最具标志性的一刻。可是那些士兵们却从来没有想过他们能否成为英雄,对于他们来说,那一刻只不过是战争残酷的体现、战友之情的反映、正义胜利的象征。”
《父辈的旗帜:硫磺岛战役的英雄们》——詹姆斯•布拉德利
酋长:“筹集军款是件好事,我们也需要钱。但是我受不了被人称作英雄,我的战绩就是躲子弹。我的所见所闻,根本没有值得自豪的地方。而真正的英雄应该是迈克,他才是。他是我见过的最好的陆战队员。你见过迈克吗?”
长官:“没有。不过如果他坐在这里,我想他也会说这些话。因为,他也不想做英雄。”
酋长:“或许。但是,他是一个好人。可是,他看到我这个样子,一定以我为耻… …”
英雄,每个人都渴望成为英雄。这不仅是个人的一种荣耀,更代表着社会的一种认可。可是,他们三个却选择了逃避。当他们在演讲途中,脑子里回想的是一个个兄弟们的牺牲。那些无助的声音和那些期盼的目光,让他们无法承受其重。其实,对于酋长、医生和瑞纳,他们是自己的“英雄”。他们坚持自己的内心能努力的避免各种诱惑,他们的一生其实不愧于“英雄”这个称号。这里的“英雄”比世界上所宣传的那种英雄要高尚很多倍。
英雄是一个被我们偷换了含义的名词!世间本无英雄。而所谓的英雄只是满足人民的一种需要而制造出来的。我们大多数人都是如此平凡地走完一生。而战场上的他们只所以如此的奋不顾身,或许就是不想丢下身边的兄弟。影片是以第一人称的手法讲述儿子在父亲临终前记录发生在硫磺岛的那段历史,从而对父亲有更深刻的印象,老人在弥留之际不断的喊着自己战友的名字,儿子问到,他是英雄么?而老人意味深长的回答:我脑海里的不是某一个英雄的面庞和荣耀,而是在海中一起嬉戏的那帮战友天真向往自由的精神,也许就是这代人所谓的父辈旗帜吧,从某种意义上说,这不是一部战争片。
我不是英雄,也许现在我站在你面前,但应该是迈克的,你知道迈克么,你见过他么?他是我见过最好的士兵,他是一个好人”,可是谁都知道在照片中第一次竖起国旗的正是迈克,但是报道的失误和太多因素使得迈克没有得到应有的荣誉,艾拉(中年田间耕作)非常内疚,决定离开这场闹剧。

Forrest Gump review
Forrest Gump describes a story happened on an idiot called Forrest Gump from the 1950’s to the 1980’s in America.As developed America, as Forrest Gump grew up.Ferrost experienced lots of things of importance in the history of America such as the assassinate of kennnedy, the Vietnam War, the Pingpong Diplomacy
and so on.He became a football star, a war hero, a business boss, and a millionnaire.In our view, he is almost a superman, but he did not notice that.As we all know, the film has received a lot of prizes in the Oscar and the other film festivals.I think it deserves it.Some people think this film is a comedy, but I don’t think so.I consider this film as a rony film.The rony occurred in details and was hidden in humor.I will give an example.Do you think an idiot
could be a war hero? I think it should be impossible.But in Vietnam War, it is.In the other way, if the war was started by the fool, the idiot
deserves the hero.From this point, we can see the against attitude of the public taken to this war.Forrest Gump is also a film that can motivate people.In this
film, Forrest take a special attitude different from almost of us to life.The life of Forrest is not very easy, but no matter what he is going to face next, he always accepted it easily, and try his best to accomplish it.Never in his life, he complain about the unfair of 命运 or lost confident of himself.What he did is just doing his best, which is very simple.In our real life, how many people struggled to get something, but in the end, nothing was left.Why not live as Forrest Gump? Doing best is just okey, but never stop our step forward.When it comes to the script, there is no reason not to say the famous words.‘Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’.It was passed to Forrest by his mother.What wise words it is.The beauty of life is just in the aspect that no one can know what is tommorow like.That is just why I like it.If we all knew what will happen in future, the life must be boring enough.The other fomous script is only one word ‘run’.I think in thisfilm The ‘run’ stand for change.Forrest changed from an idiot
into a success, but there is something that didn’t change.The woman bus driver who took Forrest to school also pick his son
up to school for the first time.I suppose this film deserves us watching it thousands of times.During the progress, we can enjoy the power of one person, the beauty of scenes, be moved by the plot, be influenced by the scripts.Thank you

<<金色池塘>>影评
金色池塘叙述了一位退休的老教授与老伴在新英伦湖畔的度假屋中度假,在平静的日子里却面临年老的各种危机。他的女儿刚离了婚,正处于徘徊的心境。一向关系不佳的两父女,终于因为十三岁的孙子跟祖父母同居了一段日子而解开了各种心结。影片以人情味方式探讨老年问题及代沟。
年老问题。他不想面对自己已经老的事实,因为他心中有一种要强的个性正如年轻时一样。第一,当他去山里采草莓迷路的时候,他表现的非常恐慌。第二,当孙子提到他的年龄时,他会生气并用言语反击。第三,即使在妻子面前他也不承认自己老了。他惧怕死亡。最后,心脏病发作时,他看到了妻子的紧张,经过生离死别情景,变得坦然了。

Tell you, my child, in your life, there are many things worth fighting for, but, freedom is undoubtedly the most important.Wallace was just an ordinary man, lost his father when he was a young child, then traveling around with his uncle.When he came back, just wanted to marry his beloved wife, Murron and led a simple life.However god did not give him this opportunity, his beloved wife was killed.His dream was shattered, he began to resist, oppose unfair treatment, and fight for freedom.Unfortunately, he did not see the final victory.After William Wallace was beheaded, his body was cut into several pieces.His head was hanging in the Tower Bridge of London, the official encouraged passersby not to resist.However, Wallace's death prompted Scotland to fight, they finally defeated the army of England, won the final victory and their freedom.William Wallace in the sound “Freedom” before he died, has made the profound impression to me.A hero is someone who has faith in his heart, of course holds on forever, and accepts all tests, even if it is extremely painful.They truly lived, can also obtain the spiritual life in the physical death.As the saying goes: Every man dies, not every man really lives.计算机学院数媒1202班:李安亚
