《阿甘正传》影评

阿甘是一个出生很不幸的人，通常人们总是认为这种人不能成功， 在做任何事情过程中。 但是，相反，这个不幸的人已经取得许多难以置信的成功，他是一个足球明星，一名战争英雄和一个百万富翁！
1995年的第六十七届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片的角逐中，影片《阿甘正传》一举获得了最佳影片、最佳男主角、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳剪辑和最佳视觉效果等六项大奖。影片通过对一个存在智力障碍者生活的描述反映了美国生活的方方面面，从一个独特的角度对美国几十年来社会政治生活中的重要事件作了展现。影片改编自温斯顿·格鲁姆的同名小说。只不过原着是一本充满了讽刺意味的荒诞小说，而影片则对故事进行了修饰和美化。摒弃了原着的荒诞和揭露讽刺意味，为影片增添了一种温情。这无疑使影片更合观众和评委的口味，但却牺牲了原着的叛逆斗争精神，使影片成为了一种理想化道德的象征。
阿甘在影片中被塑造成了美德的化身，诚实、守信、认真、勇敢而重视感情。在影片中，阿甘是十分纯洁的形象，而珍妮则成了堕落的象征。这与原着有着极大的出入。对于所叙述的一切，影片自始自终都是以一种温情和善意的态度来表现的，甚至还加入了诗意化的成分，这使得影片显得柔和而无伤害性。影片对传统道德观念的宣扬和体现。使影片变得易为人们所接受，导演高超的编排技巧和电影语言的运用也使影片十分吸引人。影片的内容为影片商业上的成功提供了保证，而导演艺术上的处理也使得影片更加精彩，这就是影片成功的原因所在。《阿甘正传》成了美国当年最为卖座的电影之一。
汤姆·汉克斯在影片中的表演十分朴实自然。他以在此片中的表现获得了奥斯卡最佳男主角的桂冠。这已是他连续获得的第二个影帝金像。《阿甘正传》的成功，也使汤姆·汉克斯成了好莱坞最受欢迎的影星之一。对汤姆·汉克斯来说，那两年是他演艺生涯中最为幸运的一段日子。

C. 《理智与情感》和《傲慢与偏见》对比着写一篇英语影评

在观看过《傲慢与偏见》和《理智与情感》两部电影之后，我强烈的感觉到这两个故事 十分的相似，讲述的都是姐妹花的婚嫁问题，又都是发生在清一色女孩家庭的故事，她们非 贫非富，被上流社会顶层的有钱人看不起，处在上流社会的尴尬境地，又通过某种场合认识 了比自己地位高的富家子弟， 男女主人公之间总有热心的人为其搭桥牵线， 几番波折之后最 终得到了美满婚姻的爱情喜剧。 18世纪末19世纪初的英国女性不论在经济、 社会还是家庭地位上都依附于男性， 社会等 级制度森严，婚姻讲究门当户对，重门第而不顾女子感情和做人权利丑陋时尚。当时的婚姻 不仅仅是作为爱 情的归宿，还会是“谋生”的手段。不论是伊丽莎白还是埃丽诺她们都出自 家中没有男子来继承父辈遗产的中产阶级家庭， 而她们想要获得一种体面的生活和地位， 唯 一的途径就是嫁给一个有钱的男人。 像伊丽莎白或是埃莉诺这样的家庭的女孩子遇到一个不 错的金龟婿是非常不容易的，然而奥斯汀两部作品的主人公在遇见“金龟婿”时候的态度却 是不同的。 《理智与情感》是简·奥斯汀的第一部作品，这也是她十八九岁时候完成的着作， 故事的女主人公埃莉诺在遇到爱德华得时候表现出的是冷静， 含蓄， 且他的家人也并未因为 爱德华的社会地位而去巴结他， 爱德华深受埃莉诺一家人的喜欢纯粹是因为他的善良和彬彬 有礼。但是在《傲慢与偏见》中，伊丽莎白一家人对宾利先生和达西先生的感情看起来就不 那么单纯了， 尤其是伊丽莎白的母亲班纳特太太对宾利和达西的大献殷勤， 就显得她们十分 的功利。 两部作品虽极为相似， 但这样细微的对人物刻画的差别也许是作者人生阅历的增加 使得她笔下的人物也变得复杂起来。 从人物性格来说，两个故事中的长女埃莉诺和简都是是温柔贤淑，含蓄，沉着冷静的女 孩子。 当埃莉诺从露西小姐口中得知爱德华与露西早已订婚时她并未表现出她的难过， 虽然 十分伤心，但她却能够理智地克制自己，没有做出冲动和愚蠢的行为，而是一直隐忍在心， 直到安慰因失恋而伤透心的妹妹玛丽安时才说出了真相。 对于简来说， 宾利先生的不告而别 对她和她的家人就像是晴天霹雳，但是为了家庭的颜面，简只能把伤心抛在脑后，一个人逃 去伦敦的亲戚家中躲避邻里的闲言碎语。 作为家中的长女， 她们在面对感情的时都为了家人 的幸福和荣誉作出了让步。但是她们的妹妹就没有那么理智。在柯林斯对伊丽莎白表白时， 她不计后果的直截了当的拒

绝了柯林斯的求婚。 玛丽安对爱情的认识过于感性， 喜欢感情用 事，相信一见钟情的浪漫爱情童话。在选择恋爱对象的时候，玛丽安比较注重外表，当忠厚 的布兰登上校向她表示好感的时候， 她却以貌取人， 觉得布兰登年老貌丑， 不是她的意中人。 她一味的爱上了花花公子韦德比先生， 完全不管不顾更加爱护他的布兰登上校。 两部作品的 长女和次女的性格是完全相反的， 形成了强烈的对比。 长女的性格显现了当时英国社会所要 求的妇女应有的道德和贞操观，而次女聪明、机灵、大胆、富有思想和见解的性格却突显了 新时代女权主义所要求的平等，自由。 金钱在两个故事中有着举足轻重的作用。 金钱自始至终都是一条重要的线索牵引着故事 情节的发展。原本富裕的达什伍德太太一家却因丈夫的去世家产被继子及其刻薄的妻子占 有，生活变得拮据，正因如此埃莉诺才有机会认识了温柔寡言的爱德华。同样面临家产被表 亲继承的班纳特太太一家为了保住家产， 永远过着富裕的日子不惜以女儿们的终身幸福为筹 码尽其可能的巴结有权有势的宾利先生和达西先生。在《傲慢与偏见》中，作者还特别的写 出了伊丽莎白的好朋友夏洛蒂与柯林斯结婚这一幕， 在他们的婚姻中， 就明显的存在着一种 靠金钱和财富维持的感情。夏洛蒂和柯林斯之间，彼此是没有温暖和幸福的感觉的，只是过 着枯燥且平淡的生活。 这就是夏洛特和柯林斯的婚姻， 很显然成就这段婚姻的关键就是金钱。
《傲慢与偏见》和《理智与情感》的四位男主人公有着一个共同的特点——不善于表达 内心的情感。 但他们不善于表达感情的原因又是不尽相同的。 达西的不善于表达感情是源自 于他严谨、矜持和挑剔考究；宾利则是善良，开朗却缺乏主见，他难以判断简是否真的爱他 宾利从未问过简对他的感觉， 单方面的听从了达西的意见便不辞而别； 爱德华的不善于表达 则是因为他自己心中知道他与露西小姐还有婚约， 而他对埃莉诺的满腹爱意使得他在两个女 人之间摇摆不定， 布兰登上校感情则是因为成熟而内敛， 他对玛丽安的感情是给她足够的自 由。 从写作手法来说， 《理智与情感》中作者使用对比与反讽的方法。姐姐埃莉诺的理智与 妹妹玛丽安的感性用事贯穿于故事的始终。埃莉诺是“理智”的代名词，她第一次出场是她的 母亲对嫂子的粗暴举动十分不满，但是埃莉诺却不是这样她非常有见识，顾全大局，遇事冷 静。而妹妹玛丽安，她则是“情感”的代言人。她是一个直来直去的姑娘，就像她对爱情的态 度一样，她不愿隐藏和压抑自己的真实情感

，想哭就哭，想笑就笑，想怒就怒，甚至可以说 有些任性。第一次和威洛比见面后，她就急于知道他的所有信息。仅仅听了约翰爵士的几句 介绍就对威洛比有了好印象。她根本就没有自己认真思考过威洛比到底是什么样的一个人， 他到底适不适合自己。 经过几次接触， 她就匆匆和威洛比确定了恋爱关系。 《傲慢与偏见》 在 中这样的例子也比比皆是。例如，在丽迪雅与韦克翰私奔后,班纳特太太担心女儿的下落又 为女儿没有新嫁衣而烦恼。两种感情交织，让班纳特太太轮番的受折磨。故事中那些在感情 上和理智上的过分行为均遭到作者辛辣而巧妙的讽刺。 作者以她女性细致而敏感的睿智、 毫 不妥协的态度、 自信的道德意识、无所顾忌的胆略， 在作品中以浪漫的手法歌颂真、 善、美， 鞭挞假、丑、恶。 两个故事都得到了完美地结局， 故事的主人公们都找到了与自己情投意合的人。 美好的 故事总有个与之相称的结尾，爱情从来不分高低贵贱。但是在婚姻中，金钱和物质是婚姻幸 福的保障，真挚的感情、相互之间的尊重、个人人格的独立都是不可或缺的基础。我想，这 才是简·奥斯汀最想要告诉我们的道理。

D. 一篇英语原声电影的影评,150～200字,有感受有内容

The story is based on Jane Austen's novel about five sisters - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia Bennet - in Georgian England. Their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy young man (Mr. Bingley) and his best friend (Mr. Darcy) arrive in their neighborhood.
Jane Austen's tale of love and economics reaches us once more with the energy of a thorough novelty. "Pride and Prejudice" has been a favorite novel of mine since I first read it and I've seen Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson, Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle and now Matthew MacFadyen and Kiera Knightly. Amazingly enough I've never been disappointed. The material seems to be full proof. Colin Firth's Darcy, in many ways, is the Darcy I've always imagined. He's been an actor I've followed feverishly since his glorious Adrian LeDuc in "Apartment Zero", Matthew MacFadyen was totally new to me but he managed to create that sense of longing that makes that final pay off so satisfying. Kiera Knightly is a ravishing revelation. I must confess, I didn't remotely imagined that she was capable of the powerful range she brilliantly shows here. The other big surprise is Joe Wright, the director, in his feature film debut which is more than promising, it's extraordinary. The photography, the art direction and the spectacular supporting cast, in particular Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn, makes this new version of a perennial classic a memorable evening at the movies

范文：

The matrix is another film that says no to the "human center". It has written a new chapter in the relationship between man and machine. Its conceptual impact and historical significance even exceed the three laws of robots.

This is a kind of release, a kind of energy conversion. The film will ignite you and make you dizzy in dazzle. It's like an animated but three-dimensional film. Science fiction fans won't want to miss every second of the film.

《黑客帝国》是又一套向“人类中心说”说不的电影，谱写了人与机器关系的新篇章，其观念上的冲击力与历史意义甚至要超过机器人三定律。

这是一种释放，是一种能量的转换，影片会点燃你，让你在眼花缭乱中眩晕不已。这很像动画但却立体的电影画面，科幻迷将不想错过影片的每一秒钟。

F. 一篇有关英语电影的影评

My view of“the day after tomorrow”

This is my second time to see “the day after tomorrow”. The first time, and many others, I see the contradiction between human and nature, environmental pollution, energy deficiency. How stupid human are, and human is so small in the disaster. Then, I think more about how to protect the environment and save energy to avoid this situation happens.

But this time, I didn’t see the film from environment, but from the human. I saw people’s affection, friendship and love in the face of death, serious work and dedication, and some people is fatuous and ignorant in the face of scientific.

The time, I really feel what is responsibility, what is persist, what is commitment. In many cases, we do not need to go to the principle of the so-called persistent on the way of things. Some critical moment, we have to give up some minor things, only know how to choose can do anything more perfect.

译文：
我对电影《后天》的看法
这是我第二次看《后天》这部电影。第一次，和很多人一样，我看到的是人类和自然的矛盾，环境问题，资源问题，觉得人类是多么的愚蠢，在灾难面前是多么的渺小。然后就想着怎样保护环境，节约能源，避免电影上的情况真的发生。

但是这次，我并没有从环境的角度去看这部电影，而是从人性的角度去看。我看到了，在灾难面前人们亲情、友情、爱情的体现，看到了人们在死亡面前的勇敢，对工作的认真和执着，还有一些人在科学面前的愚昧与无知。

这次，我深深地感受到了什么是责任，什么是坚持，什么是承诺。很多时候，我们没有必要为了那些所谓的原则去执着于某一种做事方式。在某些关键时刻，我们必须得放弃一些次要的东西，必须懂得取舍才可以把一件事做得更完美。

《肖申克的救赎》：

One of the finest films made in recent years. It's a poignant story about hope. Hope gets me. That's what makes a film like this more than a movie. It tells a lesson about life. Those are the films people talk about 50 or even 100 years from you. It's also a story for freedom. Freedom from isolation, from rule, from bigotry and hate. Freeman and Robbins are majestic in their performances. Each learns from the other. Their relationship is strong and you feel that from the first moment they make contact with one another. There is also a wonderful performance from legend James Whitmore as Brooks.

He shines when it is his time to go back into the world, only to find that the world grew up so fast he never even got a chance to blink. Stephen King's story is brought to the screen with great elegance and excitement. It is an extraordinary motion that people "will" be talking about in 50 or 100 years.

《搏击俱乐部》：

After watching this movie I was totally filled with enthusiasm. Fight Club is definitly Fincher's best movie even better than se7en. It's not only the story but the optics which fascinated me. When I had seen it for the second time I could see this movie with the knowledge of the conclusion which is really fascinating as you'll see Fight Club in a totally different perspective. Also great about Fight Club is its soundtrack performed by the Dust Brothers and especially the song 'Where is my mind' by the Pixies which really fit to the end of the movie. Unfortunately Fight Club didn't have much success in Germany but anyway the movie got best reviews of the German press. I also have to mention the brilliance of Ed Norton and Brad Pitt who plays best in roles in which he performs the villain. But it's quiet amazing what Edward Norton is able to do - he is just overwhelming. For that role he has to get the oscar.

阿甘正传:
Forrest Gump is a 1994 American comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and Gary Sinise. The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a simple Alabama man who travels across the world, sometimes meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture, and experiencing firsthand historic events of the late 20th century.
People think there was something wrong with Forrest’s brain, but not serious. That was the case. Due to his blunt brain, Forrest couldn’t think too much, just did the same thing constantly, such as run, such as playing Ping-Pong, such as catching shrimp. Due to his clumsy mind, he even didn’t know many usual boring things of life and then he lived a quite happy life.

We are clever, we know a lot, and we care about too much. But many of us even can’t do one thing very well and can’t become successful like Forrest Gump. I used to think I was quite clever and I could do a lot of things. But I have achieved nothing until now. I must learn from Forrest Gump——just run, not consider why I run——just do one thing, not many!

叫我第一名:
Joe Somebody is a 2001 American comedy-drama film written by John Scott Shepherd and directed by John Pasquin. The film stars Tim Allen as a man stirred into action by a workplace bully. The film also stars Julie Bowen, Kelly Lynch, Greg Germann, Hayden Panettiere, Patrick Warburton and Jim Belushi.

“Joe Somebody” is the story of Joe Scheffer (Allen), an everyday business man who is constantly looked over in life. His wife (Kelly Lynch) has recently divorced him, the job promotion he was promised months ago has never happened and even though he’s worked for the same company for ten years, no one can remember his name. Rather than lashing out at the world, Joe continues to bottle up his anger inside of him. When he gets punched by a co-worker in front of his daughter over a parking spot though, it’s the final straw. Joe decides that this nobody is going to finally become a somebody and begins taking self-defense lessons in an attempt to finally beat the bully that set him off.
While the story behind “Joe Somebody” has a moral that’s good for young kids to learn, there have been 100 movies just like this geared towards a family audience. “Joe Somebody” was intended to finally break the mold of this family-friendly story by being rated PG-13, but when Fox discovered they didn’t have a film that was kiddie-friendly for the holidays, they axed “Joe Somebody” for a PG-rating. Now, “Joe Somebody” is a cliched-filled family film with lines and situations so predictable, audiences will be left groaning rather than laughing. Sure the film has a couple funny moments– the scene where Allen and a bunch of 40-something co-workers do Karaoke to the Backstreet Boys’ “Larger Than Life” should receive a few laughs from the 20 and under crowd– but it’s ending is so corny that nothing could prevent audiences from wishing they saw Harry Potter or Monsters, Inc. for the umpteenth time rather than sitting through “Joe.”

performed
a
rendition
of
the
classic,
Jane
Eyre
this
month.
The
show
was
a
musical
with
all
of
the
necessary
elements
to
lift
you
from
your
seat
and
submerse
youinto
a

in

England
from
the
time

The
recurring
arches,
darkened,
soft

and
the
use
of
a
classic
chorus
to
go
along
with
them
alluded
that
a
sinister
underbelly
of
social
status
and
reputation
were
present
in
the
performance.
One
of
the
first
things
that
an
audience
member
noticed
was
the
grandeur
of
the
set.
It
was
composed
of
a
gothic-style
foreground
with
rustic
twigs
of
a
root-like
earthy
appearance.
There
were
grand
arches
for
windows
and

the

was
a

felt
enslaved
by
his
trick
of
a

and
his
grand

home.
The

also
suggest
the
importance
of
reputation
with
the
same
sort
of
fundamental
grand
image
yet
emptiness.
The
way
that
people
are
enslaved
yet
scramble
to
ascertain
that
solid
image
amongst
their

The
arches
were
almost
inviting

come
inside

their
