经典电影英文影评
1.《Forrest Gump》
Forrest Gump grows up in the county of Greenbow, Alabama. He lives with his
mom, who is a real smart and strong woman. Although Forrest’s IQ is only 75, his
mom manages to let him have the finest education, and always tell him “You are no different”. In school, Forrest meets a girl named Jenny, and they become best friends. Under Jenny’s encouragement, Forrest discovers his ability to run like the wind blows. Fortunately, this ability gives him the chance to go to college where he becomes an
all-star football player.
After graduation, Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, and he finds new friends Bubba and Dan. In the war, Forrest rescues many comrades, but Bubba is seriously wounded and dies. Lieutenant Dan, the platoon's commanding officer, is
also badly wounded and loses both legs. He chastises Forrest for saving him, insisting that he should die honorably on the battlefield instead of becoming a cripple.
When Forrest gets back from Vietnam, he is awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. During the next several decades, Forrest becomes a war hero, a famous
ping-pang player, a national celebrity, a successful businessman, and something of an American idol. Forrest successfully realizes Bubba’s dream and help Dan discover his self-worth. Finally, Forrest marries Jenny, and has a happy life with his son after
Jenny dies.
“Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”
When the first time Jenny asked Forrest to run away and the first time Forrest freed himself from the bondage, hope has been growing up in his mind. Though Forrest is surely a little stupid, he believes “stupid is as stupid does”, so he fears nothing and
does his best. In his innocence, Forrest does what he feels he has to do, no matter the situations and the people around him, lead only by an inner sense of right. My heart is deeply shocked by this “stupid” man, and I think in recent times we surely need this spirit. So, let’s have a try now.
3.《The Shawshank Redemption》
For the first time I heard the name of the film, I thought that Shawshank must be
the hero’s name, but in fact it is a name of a prison, in which the hero stayed for
almost 20 years.
In early 1947, young banker Andy Dufresne is mistakenly convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, and then he is put into the Shawshank prison. In prison, Andy and Red become best friends. Using his wisdom, he brings a lot of benefits for his friends. For having a banker experience, the warden of the prison and
the chief guard require Andy to make money for them by improper means, but at the same time he records their guilt.
Andy makes a plan of prison break, and secretly carries it out during the prison life. In a night of thunder and lightning, he escapes through the hole he dug, crawls
500 yards through a narrow pipe, and successfully gets the freedom. After escaping,
Andy withdraws most of the corruption money from several banks, and sends evidence of warden's corruption to a newspaper. Then Andy goes to Mexico, where
Red and Andy are happily reunited on the beach.
Such a story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable.
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good th ing ever dies.” Andy
clearly knows that he isn’t a murderer and believes he doesn’t belong to Shawshank.
There is hope in Andy’s mind, and he gives hope to his friends. I really love this
sentence “Get busy living or get busy dying”, Andy gets busy doin g what he should
do instead of wasting time. His story encourages people to fight to preserve the
dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most importance is
to keep hope forever.
4.《The Pursuit of Happiness》
In San Francisco, 1981, the salesman Chris Gardner invests all the family
savings in portable bone-density scanners. He believes he has made a wise decision
because the scanners can give a denser picture than an x-ray machine though it’s a
little expensive. However, they do not sell as Chris imagines, and even bring big
troubles to him. As Chris goes everywhere and tries to figure out how to sell the
scanners, his wife leaves him, he loses his house, his bank account, and credit cards.
Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Chris is desperate to find a steady job. Fortunately, Chris gets a chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at
Dean Witter. However, in the six-month training period he will get no salary, and
there are 19 other candidates for this only position. Meanwhile, moneyless, homeless,
Chris has all sorts of difficulties with his son. But he is very smart and hardworking,
and he never gives up. Eventually, for his great efforts, Chris becomes a broker at
Dean Witter and starts his career there. In 1987, Chris founds the investment firm
Gardner Rich and becomes a successful businessman.
There are so many classic lines in this great film, from which I learned a lot.
“Y ou want something, go get it!” In reality, most of us have an equal opportunity, if
we really want it, just do it. “People can't do something by themselves; they wanna
tell you you can not do it.” Although we will come up against all kinds of difficultie s,
we must have confidence in ourselves and never give up.
In this film, I recognize another thing, which is Chris’s love to his son. Actually,
all the efforts he does are not only to achieve his dream but also to give happiness to
his son. Chri s says “You have a dream, you got to protect it”.
5.《Hachiko: A Dog's Story》
Our hero, professor Parker Wilson, finds an abandoned dog at the train station
and takes it home. Parker finds that the dog is an Akita dog and names it Hachiko.
However, nobody comes to claim the dog, so Parker decides to keep Hachi in his
family. In the following years, Parker takes good care of Hachi and trains
him
patiently. Hachi will accompany Parker to the train station every day and return each
afternoon to greet him after work, they become best friends.
One day, Parker dies suddenly from a heart attack when he is teaching his music
class, and never come back. However, Hachi remains waiting for his master lying in
the snow, for several hours, until Parker's son comes to collect him. The next day,
Hachi returns to the station and waits, remaining all day and all night. As time passes,
Hachi gets older and older, and he is waiting for Parker for nine years until his death.
He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty.
The film is based on a true Japanese story and it's only natural that the film is
great because the real story itself is very touching. I learned that now a bronze statue
of Hachiko has been set in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a
permanent reminder of his devotion and love.
What is love and what is loyalty? There is no doubt that this film is full of love
and loyalty, which Hachi brings to the audiences. Someone may say “Hachi is just a
dog without thought and wisdom.” Yes, I can’t deny such a reality, but in many
respects we human beings do no better than animals. In all, Hachi is a respected and
great dog, and his pure loyalty is what we should learn.
6.《The Terminal》
Viktor Navorski, who comes from an Eastern European country Krakozhia, arrives in New York, with the purpose of achieving his father’s music dream.
Unfortunately, Viktor’s country broke out a civil war after he left, and he suddenly
becomes a man without a country. For this reason, the US airport cannot recognize
Viktor, and he is denied to set foot on New York. He also can't be deported so he is
told by the security manager Dixon that he has to remain in the airport until his status
can be recognized.
Viktor doesn't speak English very well, so he cannot talk to or understand anyone.
But he somehow adapts and sets up residence in the airport, which makes Dixon who
placed him there unhappy. So he tries to get Viktor to leave but Viktor is smart and
remains in the airport, and even have a better life. Viktor makes friends with some of
the people who work in the airport and is attracted to an air hostess Amelia.
Several months later, the war in Krakozhia ends, but Dixon will still not allow
Viktor to enter the United States. Finally, with the help of his friends, Viktor
successfully leaves the airport, and accomplish his purpose.
About this film, I have some words to say. Firstly, I am glad to see that Viktor
achieves his father’s dream through constant efforts. Secondly, most of people are
friendly, and if we have a sincere heart we will have countless friends. Thirdly, I feel a
little sorry that Viktor cannot be together with Amelia, but I believe both of them will
have a new life.
I can’t help saying that now I really love the actor named Tom Hanks for his
perfect acting skill. From Forrest Gump to Viktor Navorski, he always seems a little
stupid, but he finally succeeds again and again. It’s really not about fortune, and it
depends on love, sincerity, courage, persistence and so on.
7.《Brave Heart》
It is a story about a national hero of Scotland -- William Wallace.
In the 13th Century, Scotland is under the heel of King Edward I of England,
who granted areas of land in Scotland to his nobility which they were to rule along
with the traditional privileges. In the uprising against cruel English ruler, Wallace’s
father and brother sacrifice, and he is taken abroad by his uncle to learn knowledge
and skills. When Wallace returns home, he falls in love with his childhood lover
Murron, and they marry in secret so that she doesn’t have to spend a night with theEnglish lord. Soon after that, Wallace kills an English soldier who tries to rape
Murron, and for this reason Murron is finally executed by the lord.
Full of anger, Wallace determines to fight against the English ruler, and in
response to Wallace's exploits, people of Scotland rise in revolt against England.
Although Wallace comes up against all kinds of difficulties, he never gives up. For the
betrayal of his partners, Wallace fails to defeat the English ruler. Before Wallace’s
dying, the scene that he shouts loudly "Freedom!" moves everyone. After Wallace’s
death, his previous partner Bruce continues to fight and finally makes Scotland free.
In my viewpoint, at first Wallace has no intention of being a freedom fighter, he
is just a simple man with simple desires to live in peace and raise a family. However, circumstances make that impossible, so he has to be brave and stand out, not for the
death of his father and wife, but for the freedom of his nation. I am really shocked by
his brave heart.
I feel a little sorry for Wallace’s death, because he cannot see for himself that the
freedom of Scotland is back again. However, his heart for freedom will last forever,
and lead his people to fight against dark rulers, fight for freedom.
8.《The Day After Tomorrow》
The hero of this film, a paleoclimatologist named Jack Hall, discovers that the
huge polar ice sheet is melting quickly due to the global warming. The situation will
lower ocean temperatures, and then causes a massive climate shift which brings about
many natural disasters and eventually a new ice age. It’s too late to inform everyone
in the nation, and when people realize the situation and try to move to the warmer
south, the disaster has arrived. Meanwhile, Jack’s son Sam is attending an academic competition with his friends in New York.
As Jack’s request, Sam and his friends stay in the library and burn books to get
warm. Worrying about his son, Jack and his two partners set out for New York to
rescue his son. Overcoming all the difficulties including the death of a partner, Jack
finally arrives in New York and finds the library. Gladly finding Sam and his friends
are all alive, Jack embraces Sam tightly for a long time. In Mexico, the new President
orders search and rescue teams to look for other survivors, having been given hope by the survival of Sam's group.
This is another disaster film, and it deeply shocked my heart again. Although
there are countless people die in the disaster, I believe that survivors have learned a lot, and people all over the world will take action to protect our earth.
In addition, the relationship between Jack and Sam runs through the whole film.
I want to say Jack is a great father, because he does what he promised his son no matter how difficult it is. At the same time, Sam is also a great young man, because he is intelligent, brave and responsible. Both of them set good examples for us.
It’s a great film, not for its large investment and magnificent scenes, but for what
it brings to human beings.
Journey to the Center of the Earth（地心游记）2008 There is a part of me that will always have affection for a movie like "Journey to the Center of the Earth." It is a small part and steadily shrinking, but once I put on the 3-D glasses and settled in my seat, it started perking up. This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be. There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it. If I had seen it when I was 8, I would have remembered it with deep affection for all these years, until I saw it again and realized how little I really knew at that age. You are already familiar with the premise, that there is another land inside of our globe. You are familiar because the Jules Verne novel has inspired more than a dozen movies and countless TV productions, including a series, and has been ripped off by such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, who called it Pellucidar, and imagined that the Earth was hollow and there was another world on the inside surface. (You didn't ask, but yes, I own a copy of Tarzan at the Earth's Core with the original dust jacket.) In this version, Brendan Fraser stars as a geologist named Trevor, who defends the memory of his late brother, Max, who believed the center of the Earth could be reached through "volcanic tubes." Max disappeared on a mysterious expedition, which, if it involved volcanic tubes, should have been no surprise to him. Now Trevor has been asked to spend some time with his nephew, Max's son, who is named Sean (Josh Hutcherson). What with one thing and another, wouldn't you know they find themselves in Iceland, and peering down a volcanic tube. They are joined in this enterprise by Hannah (Anita Briem), who they find living in Max's former research headquarters near the volcano he was investigating. Now begins a series of adventures, in which the operative principle is: No matter how frequently or how far they fall, they will land without injury. They fall very frequently, and very far. The first drop lands them at the bottom of a deep cave, from which they cannot possibly climb, but they remain remarkably optimistic: "There must be a way out of here!" Sure enough, they find an abandoned mine shaft and climb aboard three cars of its miniature railway for a scene that will make you swear the filmmakers must have seen "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Just like in that movie, they hurtle down the tracks at breakneck speeds; they're in three cars, on three more or less parallel tracks, leading you to wonder why three parallel tracks were constructed at great expense and bother, but just when such questions are forming, they have to (1) leap a chasm, (2) jump from one car to another, and (3) crash. It's a funny thing about that little railway: After all these years, it still has lamps hanging over the rails, and the electricity is still on. The problem of lighting an unlit world is solved in the next cave they enter, which is inhabited by cute little birds that glow in the dark. One of them makes friends with Sean, and leads them on to the big attraction -- a world bounded by a great interior sea. This world must be a terrible place to inhabit; it has man-eating and man-strangling plants, its waters harbor giant-fanged fish and fearsome sea snakes that eat them, and on the further shore is a Tyrannosaurus rex. So do the characters despair? Would you despair, if you were trapped miles below the surface in a cave and being chased by its hungry inhabitants? Of course not. There isn't a moment in the movie when anyone seems frightened, not even during a fall straight down for thousands of feet, during which they link hands like sky-divers and carry on a conversation. Trevor gets the ball rolling: "We're still falling!" I mentioned 3-D glasses earlier in the review. Yes, the movie is available in 3-D in "selected theaters." Select those theaters to avoid. With a few exceptions (such as the authentic IMAX process), 3-D remains underwhelming to me -- a distraction, a disappointment and more often than not offering a dingy picture. I guess setting your story inside the Earth is one way to explain why it always seems to need more lighting. The movie is being shown in 2-D in most theaters, and that's how I wish I had seen it. Since there's that part of me with a certain weakness for movies like this, it's possible I would have liked it more. It would have looked brighter and clearer, and the photography wouldn't have been cluttered up with all the leaping and gnashing of teeth. Then I could have appreciated the work of the plucky actors, who do a lot of things right in this movie, of which the most heroic is keeping a straight face. 1

Titanic, "not only because it is a successful commercial film and, more importantly, it brought about the end of the century a wave of nostalgia: the Titanic sank in the early 20th century is a tragedy, the film has to The facts add up the true love story, set sail Tai Tanni will be less than 5 days of love, friendship and a disaster at the end of the century before this generation, it told us a truth: that we must cherish life. Short of climbing aboard a time capsule and peeling back eight and one-half decades, James Cameron's magnificent Titanic is the closest any of us will get to walking the decks of the doomed ocean liner. Meticulous in detail, yet vast in scope and intent, Titanic is the kind of epic motion picture event that has become a rarity. You don't just watch Titanic, you experience it -- from the launch to the sinking, then on a journey two and one-half miles below the surface, into the cold, watery grave where Cameron has shot never-before seen documentary footage specifically for this movie. In each of his previous outings, Cameron has pushed the special effects envelope. In Aliens, he cloned H.R. Giger's creation dozens of times, fashioning an army of nightmarish monsters. In The Abyss, he took us deep under the sea to greet a band of benevolent space travelers. In T2, he introduced the morphing terminator (perfecting an effects process that was pioneered in The Abyss). And in True Lies, he used digital technology to choreograph an in-air battle. Now, in Titanic, Cameron's flawless re-creation of the legendary ship has blurred the line between reality and illusion to such a degree that we can't be sure what's real and what isn't. To make this movie, it's as if Cameron built an all-new Titanic, let it sail, then sunk it. Of course, special effects alone don't make for a successful film, and Titanic would have been nothing more than an expensive piece of eye candy without a gripping story featuring interesting characters. In his previous outings, Cameron has always placed people above the technological marvels that surround them. Unlike film makers such as Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, Cameron has used visual effects to serve his plot, not the other way around. That hasn't changed with Titanic. The picture's spectacle is the ship's sinking, but its core is the affair between a pair of mismatched, star-crossed lovers. Titanic is a romance, an adventure, and a thriller all rolled into one. It contains moments of exuberance, humor, pathos, and tragedy. In their own way, the characters are all larger-than- life, but they're human enough (with all of the attendant frailties) to capture our

Seven(七宗罪)1995 David Fincher's classic tale of inventive serial killing and urban degredation, with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman on excellent form Who'd have thought? An absurd-sounding tale of a serial killer basing his crimes around the seven deadly sins, directed by the man behind the mess that was Alien3, turning out to be one of the most chilling and original thrillers of the 1990s. From the outset, through the film's brilliantly designed deliberate under-lighting - we see very little blood and guts - and muffled sound, the audience is encouraged to lean towards the screen, immerse itself in the film's unbearably grim world. Pitt is in career-making form as Mills, a simple cop moving with his sweet young wife (Paltrow) to a grim, anonymous city, determined to make a difference, to do some good. He is assigned to track down a vengeful killer, and works alongside Somerset (Freeman), a jaded, wise policeman on the verge of retirement. The two are that modern movie cliché -the mismatched pair thrown together by circumstance, who gradually learn mutual respect. But Fincher and Walker take these hackneyed ingredients, play with them in the context of a brilliantly cohesive plot, and present something consistently fresh - the police finding themselves with too much evidence, the premature unmasking of the killer - and very, very dark. 1
小王子电影观后感英文版 本文为小王子电影观后感英文版范文，让我们通过以下的文章来了解。 Recently, I read a fairy story book, Little Prince. This book tells the adventurous experiences of little prince from his planet to the earth. Little prince comes from the outer space and he is hurt by a rose. So he leaves there and travels into space. He comes to the earth and be the friend of a fox. The fox tells his secret to little prince and he helps a pilot in the desert. In the end, he dies under the help of a snake and his soul goes back to his planet. This book is very interesting and teaches me a lot. I like little price adventures. He teaches me to be honest and love others. All of us should never loss the pureness of childhood. This is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. It’s been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. It’s this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy

Tess(苔丝)1979 Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland. Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name. Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec. Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish. Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of the land and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully. Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble. 1
