第一篇:A Book Report On The Sun Also Rises 太阳照常升起 读书报告
A Book Report OnThe Sun Also Rises
Introduction The Sun Also Risesis known as the first major novel by Ernest Hemingway.Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21,1899,in Oak Park, Illinois, a conservative upper-middle-class suburb of Chicago.His novel The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, established him as one of the preeminent writers of his day.HemingwaywontheNobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for his phenomenally successful The Old Man and the Sea.Hemingway’s style differs distinctively from that of writers before him, and his workhelped shape both the British and American literature that followed it.His novel is extremely spare, succinct, and seemingly very direct, but sometimes his readers may find it’s not easy to understand his implications and meanings of unsaid words.Up to now, modern literature continues to be heavily influenced by Hemingway’s writing style.The Sun Also Rises is a Modernist novel, written in Mid-1920s, in Paris.It is also a travelogue and a novel of disillusionment.In this novel, Jake Barnes is the narrator and Jake tells the entire story from his own point of view with a somber and ironic tone.Jake is also the protagonist of the book.The setting time of the story is 1924.The novel begins in Paris, French, moves to Pamplona, Spain, and concludes in Madrid, Spain.Summary It’s a complicated story.Jake, Brett, and their friends pursue a dissipated life in Paris.Jake introduces Brett to Robert Cohn, thenBrett and Cohn have an affair.Cohn follows Brett to Pamplona.They watch bullfights and meet Romero, a matador.Jake begins his story by talking about someone else, as an observer, but we can infer much about Jake through his descriptions of other people.In his narration, Jake never directly refers to the aimlessness and purposelessness of his own life and the lives of his friends, but he often implies it.Analysis Jake, the narrator and protagonist of the novel, is an AmericanveteranofWorldWar I.He works as a journalist in Paris, where he andhis friends engage in an endlessroundofdrinking and parties.Although Jake is the most stable of his friends, he feels painful because of his love for Lady Brett Ashley and the void that resulted from the war.What Jake actually says always differs from what we can infer about what he actually thinks.For instance, at his lunch with Cohn, he tells Cohn not to believe him when he says nasty things, but in fact these comments are Jake’s most honest expressions of his thoughts and feelings.Lady Brett Ashley is a beautiful British socialite who drinks heavily.She is unwilling tocommit fully to any of the men, though she has affairs with a number of them.However, she does not draw much happiness from her independence.Her life, like the lives of many in her generation, is aimless and unfulfilling.She is also a victim of the Lost Generation’s and definitely she can’t have a satisfying life.Robert Cohn is a wealthy American writer living in Paris.Cohn had no directexperienceof World War I andhe is Jewish, so he is a convenient target of Jake and his friends.Then I will analyze some classic sentences in the novel.Through these sentences, we can know more about three main characters: Jake, Brett and Cohn.Cohn: “I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it.” Jake:“Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters.”
Inthis dialogue, taken from Chapter 2, Cohn tells one of the key problems the Lost Generation is faced with.After World War I, many young men and women felt their lives had no purpose or substances.Cohn worries that he is wasting his brief time of his life.Jake thinks that “nobody” feels fulfilled in their lives, excepta small group ofextraordinarypeople.Of course, Cohn cannot become a bullfighter.Jake implies that Cohn must learn to live with hisfeeling of discontent.This advice is a reflection of Jake’s character.Although heunderstandsthe troubles of the world and the people around him, he almostnever takes actionto correct them.He simply accepts them, as he advises Cohn to do.“You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”
Jake says these words to Cohn in Chapter II when Cohn tries to convince him to travel to South America.Cohn feels dissatisfied with his life in Paris, and he believes that a change of location will change his void in his life.However, Jake knows thatCohn’s unhappiness is because of his decadent lifestyle, which willnot be any differentanywhere else.Many ofJake’sfriends, and indeed Jake himself, try to cure their unhappiness through constanttravel, either on a small scale, from bar to bar, or on a large one, from country to country.Jake shows here that he knows that such travel is futile and ultimately purposeless.The discontent of the Lost Generation is psychological, not geographic.“Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”
Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic.He raised his baton.The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me.“Yes,” I said.“Isn't it pretty to think so?”
These are the final lines of the novel, presenting Brett and Jake’s final dialogue, spoken in a taxi at the end of Chapter XIX.Just as Brett dreams that the two of them could have had a relationship, a policeman raises his baton.The barrier between them is quite clear now.Moreover, Jake’s slightly cynical and bitter reply shows that he has no illusions about their relationship.Jake’s subtle doubts only increase the sadness of the novel’s closing lines.Their relationship is revealed to have been merely a beautiful dream, and the dream is now slippingawayforever.Evaluation The Sun Also Rises shows the lives of the members of the so-called Lost Generation, the group of men and women who spend their youth during World War I.This horrific war setnew standards for death and immorality.It shattered many people’s beliefs in traditional values of love, faith, and courage.Without thesetraditional values to rely on,members ofthegeneration that fought and worked in the war suffered great moral and psychological aimlessness.The futile search for meaning in the wake of the Great War shapes The Sun Also Rises.Although the characters rarely mention the war directly, it influences everything they do and say.The themes of this novel are the aimlessness of the Lost Generation, male insecurity and the destructiveness of sex.The story also shows the failure of communication, excessive drinking and false friendships.Hemingway likes to use direct, short, simple sentences.His dialogue is brief as well.This seemingly minimalist style expresses much through implication and suggestion.Hemingway’s description of the bullfight provides an example of his writing style.He does not rely on metaphor or simile to describe the action.Instead, he simply reports it.His writing, like Romero’s fighting, is always straight, pure and natural.
第二篇:太阳照常升起 读书报告
Today, I will introduce the book of Ernest Miller Hemingway—THE SUN ALSO RISES.Hemingway was an American author and journalist.He is a representative writer of “the Lost Generation” in America.His novels are famous for the concise writing style.Hemingway won the Noble Prize in Literature in 1954 by virtue of The Old Man and the Sea.He published 7 novels, 6 short story collections and 2 non-fiction works.Many of these are considered classics of American literature.This novel is a story about that Barnes and his friends lived in Paris after the World War.They usually went to bars, went fishing, took a trip of Spain to watch bull fights and so on.Barnes is an American veteran of World War I who suffered physical injuries that have made him physiologically impotent.After World War, Barnes lived in Paris and fell in love with Brett.But Barnes was unable to pursue a sexual relationship with Brett.They felt upset and confused about it.In order to content their mental stimulation, they went to Spain and participated in activities of bull fights.Romero who was the star bullfighter of the fiesta was introduced to Jake and his friends, and at that time he fell in love with Brett.They split up when they recognize her inability to commit to a sustained relationship.In the end, Brett chose Barnes to live with him forever.The whole story is just like a endless circle: it starts from where it ends and starts again.Jack Barnes and his fellows, we say “The Lost Generation”, eat, drink, fool around and repeat themselves day by day.
第三篇:《太阳照常升起》[范文模版]
评《太阳照常升起》
中国电影里,我最爱的一部就是姜文导演的《太阳照常升起》。我爱它的解密快感。这部影片拍摄于2007年,由英皇电影和太合联合出品。影片耗资一千万美金,历时一年之久,纵横中原腹地、云南边陲和西北戈壁等拍摄完成。是中国电影制作中片比最高,耗费胶片最长的一部电影。剧本创作源泉来自女作家叶弥的短篇小说《天鹅绒》,由《鬼子来了》的编剧述平和姜文联合编剧。著名作曲家久石让编曲。讲述了一个饱含解密快感的四个既独立成篇又互为悬念的完整故事。这样的影片,国内以前没有过,国际上也不太多,他是一个非故事逻辑的影片。
姜文毕业于中央戏剧学院80级表演系,我个人认为它是内地最棒的演员兼导演。有中国梅尔·吉普森的美称,他在当导演之前曾是张艺谋的御用演员,获得国内外很多奖项,这部影片是姜文导演的第三部电影作品,姜文在1994年拍摄了自己的导演处女作《阳光灿烂的日子》,号称中国电影史上的新一代里程碑,从此确立了姜文作为一个才情卓绝的导演的独特地位。2000年轰动国际影坛的《鬼子来了》一举夺得戛纳电影节评委会大奖。奠定了姜文国际著名导演的地位。同时因此片被吊销5年导演执照,直到7年后的《太阳照常升起》。今日姜文导演的第四部作品《让子弹飞》即将上映。
“太阳照常升起”这个名字是引自圣经里的一段话,“一代走,一代来,大地永存,日头升起又落下到它升起的地方,太阳照常升起。”这部影片所讲的故事就是这个意思。太阳落下又升起是因为被世间的情感所感动么?显然不是,所以,太阳照常升起,大地永存。
这部影片用三个元素讲故事。“梦”
影片一开始就提到了梦,妈做了一个梦,梦中有一双鱼头鞋。从梦中醒来妈去买来那双鞋,被一只鹦鹉偷走,妈就疯了。整天爬树,挖石头。打儿子。被一层神秘笼罩起来。妈的疯是由一个梦而来的,是二十年对爱情守候的情感爆发。这是人生理的本能自我保护所致。她的疯不是漫无目的的疯。她一切疯癫的行为是在为自己的内心建造一座白宫,那用鹅卵石砌成的一块禁地。那座白宫就是她的内心。她的生活全是支离破碎的记忆,她在这里重新拼凑自己破碎的心。虽然重新的拼凑是那么不堪一击。建好白宫那天妈不疯了,梦醒了。却永远失踪了。爸用一件有三个枪眼的衣服告诉妈自己死了,妈用爸的那件衣服和鱼头鞋告诉大家我死了。妈是走了还是死了不重要,影片也没有给出答案,但可以肯定的是她解脱了。
“疯狂”
妈的疯狂是全片最出彩的段落。神秘,疯颠,可笑,幽默。
这是在讲人性当中最深刻的部分,这里的疯狂是最悲情的。但这一段落的调子却很幽默。完全没有渲染人物的痛苦。段落中仍然有他可笑的部分,这一点颠覆了常规,笑着哭。充分的表现疯狂的时代,疯狂的人们。
这里的疯狂在表现时代环境。在习惯把祖国以母亲著称的国家。妈疯了。上上下下的疯狂形成的扭曲时代,妈漂在河上的衣服,鞋在领子上漂着。说名妈在用脚后跟想问题。妈在影片中问儿子:“妈疯么?”儿子不敢答。回过头看看生活中,有那个是真正的正常人?姜文导演说过一句话,这部影片就是打破所有界限,只要是觉得主观有意思的,拿来。这本身就是疯狂行为。
“性”
太阳照常升起,光这个片名就有很强的性暗示。影片在讲述那个时代背景下,人们在抵抗环境束缚的同时追求幸福,性福,的执着。
爸对性福的不断追求,那杆枪征服了妈又征服了后妈。那支小号征服了林大夫。枪是男人的尊严。小号是男人的魅力。
林大夫对幸福的慷慨,毫无自我保护的意识,那种天真的对爱的追求是应该得到
尊重的。更是伟大的。
在母亲的白宫里闯入了后母,在二十年的守候后儿子为母亲讨回了尊严。一次重要的交合。这也是性的意义。
这部电影是姜文的,全片都写着姜文的名字。这是一部独一无二,并且不可复制的电影。
第四篇:太阳照常升起影评
《太阳照常升起》影评
《太阳照常升起》是以上个世纪五十年代至七十年代为故事背景的。和我们如今这个物欲横流的时代相比,在那个时代人性受到了更多的压抑。作为九十年代末期出生的我们,对那个年代的认识基本是空白的,而《太阳照常升起》这部片子让我开始了解那个时代。
故事分成四段:疯、恋、枪、梦。按时间顺序应该是“梦、恋、疯、枪”,“梦”是“疯”和“恋”的前奏,诠释前面“疯”、“恋”所产生的疑点。
疯:周韵饰的房祖名他妈因一个梦而去买了双鞋丢失后成美丽的疯女人,然后一系列的疯狂举动—最后悄然失踪。为了儿子的正常生活、为了追随“阿辽莎”,疯妈异常地穿上四兜军衣同儿子来一场儿子并不知情的告别!嘱托儿子去迎接下放改造的新人,自己选择悄然离去„„画面上只出现河面漂浮的军衣、裤和那双失而复还的鞋。让潺潺流水带走一切痛苦,留下无尽思考!
恋:梁老师是众多女人仰慕的对象,但梁老师清高矜持的个性压抑了自己。老唐的处世哲学则不同,时不时和林大夫偷一把,帮梁老师写检讨书洗清罪名,这些都体现出在那个特殊背景下的适者生存法则。梁老师弹唱美丽的梭罗河,老吴高唱万泉河,两手歌体现的格调完全不同,在唱高调的时代,梁老师无法适应自然被淘汰,最后选择上吊自杀,他死还面带笑容„„
枪:其实枪可以代表尊严,黄秋生的自杀其实也是姜文小小的陷害,姜文不仅没有道歉,还叫他招认,姜文抢走的是黄的尊严,甚至连物化的枪也要要走,黄最后选择用自己母亲送的东西,用不可能被夺走的生命,换来最后一丝抵抗与守护自己捍卫自己。黄秋就说了一句“枪可以拿走,但带子留下,那是我妈送的”,我就知道他要自杀了。
梦:全片的开头,也是这部电影的关键所在,大漠里两个女
人骑着骆驼在行走,都是去见久别的爱人,但等待这两个女人的却是截然不同的结果。一个身怀六甲一言不发的周韵,一个正在不停讲述自己和老唐恋爱史的孔维,她们在一个分叉口分道扬镳。周韵向右走,怀着忐忑不安的心情等待的结果却是她丈夫战死沙场的噩耗。孔维向左行,走到一个“尽头”牌下见到了自己的爱人老唐。
太阳每天都是新的。是 的,压抑的年代过去了,太阳照样
生起,太阳照姜文的模样升起。但曾经的太阳却一去不复返地湮没了,曾经的纯真爱情,曾经的理想与激情,曾经萌动的青春岁月,都伴随着新的冉冉升起的太阳而彻底湮没了。
第五篇:《太阳照常升起》影评
《太阳照常升起》影评
在上课的时候,老师让我们观看了《太阳照常升起》这部电影,《太阳照常升起》是姜文呕心沥血的一部作品,具有深层的社会写实意义,具备艺术特质。影片试图向观众展现导演(姜文)的内心世界,某些电影乔段甚至让我们窥视到导演私密之处。色彩绚丽,景观跳换跟梦境一样,这是看完整部影片后的整体感觉。看似没有什么逻辑关系,却总能让观众不自觉的侵入导演思想深处的“乌托邦”。
支离破碎的结构,梦呓般的对白,姜文魔幻现实主义的新作十分地费解,但即便是看不懂剧情,仍然不会影响观众的兴趣。影片始终情绪高昂,这些情绪是能够感染观众的。满溢的色彩,飞繁运动的镜头,剽悍的想象力,处处流淌着的幽默感,使人内心荡漾着笑声而不是放肆出廉价的爆笑。久石让的配乐,军号和枪声,不断重复着雄壮的力量。
在一种宁静的环境下看完了《太阳照常升起》,似乎心中的疑惑随着影片的前行而层出不穷,而随着最后一声痛彻心扉的呼喊,让我明白了,什么叫做人性的闪光,世界是“零”,而真性情是“一”,没有了“一”,一切都是“零”。在这样的一种喧嚣的世界中,面对来自各方面的“零”的诱惑,这个“一”越来越淡,在一种欺骗与自我欺骗的境地中,掩盖了多少作为人最本源的真性情,只有在出生和死亡之时,才能将这种感情表现的淋漓尽致。
对于影片中的两个人物的离世我并不觉得悲伤,反而觉得是一种境界的升华,浮浮碌碌来世一遭,除了给世间增添一两笔的色彩,还留下了什么?生命究竟能承受多少重量,曾经认为生命很脆弱,其实生命更是坚韧的之时因为一种不自然的埋没就显得很茫然,不能说我真的完全领会了这部影片的内涵,而只能说,看完之后觉得很沉重,剧情很紧凑,最重要的是里面有很多内容需要自己的理解思考,整个片子看下来,不知道为什么心情会这么压抑,虽然在网上也看到了许多影评说里面有多么多么滑稽,当演到母亲上树的时候,我并没有觉得可笑,相反,我觉得她很可怜,一种怨气夹杂在那样的爱中,复杂却真挚,疯,亦有疯的好处,最真最善之处她敢表露,爱,不仅仅埋藏在心中,而且能够执着的表现出来,活得真切,活得洒脱。生命在于真实,生活在于真性情,生存在于真诚!
影片结尾一切都复舒了:“疯妈妈”活了,在风驰电掣的火车上分娩着自己的儿子;工人小梁死而复生,在珙火与美酒的人群中狂欢;唐老师正和被偷情的妻子举办盛大婚礼。蒸汽火车,急弛中停止:在通往生活的轨道中,一个坦身在鲜花丛中啼哭的生命诞生了,新的希望开始了。也许,快乐就会像那个调皮的太阳,会在某一天,像皮球一样从地平线弹起。那时候,我们都在狂欢。只有一个人站在高高山岗上,呼喊:“阿辽沙,别害怕,火车在上面停下了。
太阳每天照常升起,在太阳下,生命诞生,然后毁灭,爱情,理想亦然。生活继续,人类依然乐观生存,充满着希望。。
