《英语电影视听说》Unit 2Part 2 Culture ReflectionHistory of the Hippie MovementAfter the two world wars people wanted to break away from the traditional values imposed on them. The young, in particular, became rebellious, distained social norms and yearned to establish themselves ideologically. The Hippie Movement thus began in the United States as a youth movement in 1960s. Composed mostly of the younger population, hippies inherited a tradition of cultural dissent from bohemians and beatniks of the Beat Generation in the late 1950s. The Hippie Movement started in San Francisco, California and spread across the whole country. By 1965, hippies had become a discernible social group in the US. Through Canada, the movement soon expanded to other countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Brazil and even Japan. Although the number of hippies declined in the mid-1970s, the kernel of their belif lingers and has been infused with new meanings by younger generations.Effects of Single Parent Families on Single Mothers and Their ChildrenPast research has indicated that children from single parent families, especially lone-mother households are more likely to have emotional, academic and financial problems. Children living without their biological fathers often feel unhappy, showing signs of depression, lack of self-esteem, irresponsibility, hostility to adults and other children and even antisocial behaviors. They have more troubles in school. Such children are more likely to score poorly on tests, have difficulty getting along with teachers and other students, play truant and be expelled from school. Therefore, children from single parent families are inclined to engage in offensive behavior, teenage pregnancy, excessive drinking and smoking, and drug abuse.Due to their lower earning capacity, most single mothers live in poverty. They have to struggle to keep balance between their work and family life. Economic stress becomes one of the strongest predictors of depression in single mothers. The chronic strain of poverty often makes single mothers suffer from poor health and psychological distress which are detrimental both to themselves and to their children. On the one hand, they are less likely to communicate with-their children effectively; on the other hand, they themselves are too vulnerable to embrace new life."No man is an island."Originally this is a line written by John Donne (1572—1631), a great British poet and preacher. John Donne is a representative of the "metaphysical school". His poetry is noted for vitality of rhythms, vibrancy of language and vividness of imagery.Meditation XVIIJohn DonneNo man is an island,entire of itself;every man is a piece of the continent,a part of the main;if a clod be washed away by the sea,Europe is the lessas well as if a promontory were,as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were:any man's death diminishes me,because I am involved in mankind,and therefore,never send to know for whom the bell tolls;it tolls for thee.John Bon JoviAs the lead singer and founder of the rock band Bon Jovi, John Bon Jovi, born in 1962, is an American musician, songwriter and actor. He also wrote "No Man Is an Island" in his song Santa Fe.Vocabulary⏹thought-provoking: adj. 发人深省的；引起思考的⏹royalty:(专利权的)使用费；(著作的)版税⏹bestir oneself: 发奋，振作精神⏹inadvertently: 非故意地，出于无心地⏹attributable to:由于，由…引起⏹Hippie：嬉皮士chick: [俚语]少女；少妇⏹inclination:倾向，爱好⏹come to (do): gradually do sth⏹confide: vi. 信赖；吐露秘密⏹spree: 狂欢（尤指花钱）⏹predominant:有影响的⏹icon:具有代表性的人(或物)⏹psychedelic rock:迷幻摇滚⏹eco-friendly:环境友好的⏹grooming:仪表⏹sandal:凉鞋⏹bell-bottoms: 喇叭裤⏹peasant blouse:村姑衫⏹head scarf: 头巾⏹headband: 头饰带⏹plait:把…编成辫Task 4: Interview—ListeningKeys:(1)a funny, touching movie(2)all men are islands(3)Happy and depression-free life!(4)become emotionally connected to each other(5)which he is completely unaccustomed to(6)growing up has nothing to do with age(7)take the role of a responsible adult(8)far beyond his twelve years of experience(9)get to know the real meaning of life(10)life can be more than just depressing。

Appreciating CinemaPart One:Categorization of genresGenreSocial DramaRomanceGangsterWar filmScience fictionFantasyWesternDisasterCrimeEpicActionMusical_____________________________________________________________________ BlockbusterFilm noirComedy intended togeneratelaughterHorror intended to horrifyThriller intended to thrillPart Two: The basic storiesThere are a limited number of stories that form the basis for all fictional narratives.·Achilles Example: Superman·Candide Example:ForrestGump·Cinderella Example:Pretty Woman·Circe Example:FatalAttraction·Faust Example:Wall Street·Orpheus Example: Born on the Fourth of July·Romeo and Juliet Example: Shakespeare in Love, Ghost ·Tristan The Graduate·The Wandering Jew Example: The English PatientPart Three:The Classic Three-Act Linear Structure（经典三幕式直线结构）The majority of Hollywood films employs the classic three-act linear structure(or a variation of it). The three-act structure implies that the film can be divided into three acts.Act 1 would normally be expected to occupy the first quarter of the film; Act 2 would occupy the next half; and Act 3 would occupy the final quarter.Each act has a different function. For a typical two—hour Hollywood film, the act divisions would be as follows.Act Time FunctionAct 1 0-30 minutes set-upAct 2 30-90 minutes development (conflictandconfrontation) Act 3 90-120 minutes resolution and denouncement(结局)Part Four: Alternative Narrative Structures·Episodic Structure章回式结构Episodic narratives follow the protagonist through a series of potentially unrelated adventures. As in thethree-act structure, there are definite turning points at which the fortunes of the protagonist turn from good to bad or vice versa; however, unlike the three-act structure, the number of such turning points is not limited. ·Hero’s Journey Structure英雄旅程结构The hero’s journey narrative forms the underlying narrative structure of many myths and legends; and it is also to be found in many successful Hollywood films. The narrative occurs in a number of stages, which can be simplified as follows:1.Call to adventure2.Journey through unfamiliar World3.Supreme ordeal4.Reward5.Return and reintegration into societyPart Five: SubplotMost Hollywood films have one or more subplots. Subplots are additional stories(secondary plots) that are linked to the main plot and have an influence upon it;they don’t require separate protagonists, but they do require separate actions.The relationship between the main plot and the subplotscan take any one of four forms. These are: ·Complementary·Contradictory·Setup·ComplicatingPart Six: Symbols and MotifsA symbol is something that stands for or suggests something else, usually on account of a relationship, association, convention or resemblance. A motif is a recurring feature or idea related to the theme of the film; frequently it will be a recurring symbol.Question:Symbols may have different meanings in China and the West. List some of the differencesDifferent symbolic values of colors, animals, and number symbols used in the Western cultural tradition alongside their possible meanings and their different symbolic values in the Chinese cultural tradition.Symbol Meaning in the West Meaning in ChinaRed anger, sexuality, passion good fortune, happiness,prosperityWhite purity deathGreen envy, inexperience;the peace; the environment environmentYellow royal power and authorityOwl wisdom bad luckLion majesty, strength, braveryDragon evil majesty, success,goodfortunePhoenix rebirth, resurrection good fortune,precious Turtle slowness longevityPeacock arrogance, vanity good fortune3the Trinity( God, Christ, the Holy Ghost)13Bad luck666 the Devil good luck8 wealth4 deathPartSeven: Identifying ThemeIn practical terms, how does one identify and interpret the theme of the film? Since theme is a complicated and variable phenomenonand can be expressed in so many forms, it isimpossible to give a step-by-step guide. However, it is still possible to outline some basic approaches:·The Title of the FilmFilms will commonly use titles to point out their themes. ·Names of CharactersScriptwriters may use the names of their characters to suggest both something about the characters themselves, and also something about the overall theme of the film. ·SymbolismSymbols, motifs, and symbolic settings may indicate the theme of the film.·Character ConflictThe theme may emerge from the conflict between characters, especially when the characters are representative of deeper values and attitudes.·Speeches and DialogueSpeeches may also indicate the themes of a film. In About a Boy, for example, the protagonist describes his theory of “island living”( i.e.a radically independent lifestyle) in a speech addressed directly to the audience. In fact, this leads directly to the theme:Absolute independence is an undesirable state.·SubplotsThe main plot carries the main burden of the narrative. The subplot, on the other hand, can be used more flexibly to explore the thematic implications of the film.·Social ContextThemes can emerge from the interaction of a film’s subject matter and its social context.Take Forrest Gump as example·Episodic Structure and Repetition(章回式结构和循环)The narrative structure of Forrest Gump is basically episodic: that is, it is made up of separate, loosely connected situations that occur in the life of the protagonist.What holds together the narrative is not the plot but the figure of Gump himself.Accompanying this episodic structure is a pattern of repetitions. The scenein which Gump is bulliedby boys from his hometown is repeated a littlelater in his life, as is Jenny’s famous exhortation(告诫) to Forrest(Run, Forrest! Run). The act of getting on theschool bus to find no one willing to offer a seat is also repeated when Gump sets off for Vietnam. Gump’s meetings with American presidents occur time after time, as do reports of assassinations of prominent figures in recenthistory. Perhaps the most profound repetition, though, is the birth of the young Forrest Gump and his own first trip on the school bus: This time the repetition is accompanied by a change for the better, as the young Gump has all the charm of his father with none of the stupidity. The overall effect of these repetitions is to create an sense of circularity---the reassuring feeling that history repeats itself.Plot and SubplotForrest Gump is something of an exception because the story of Gump’s life and the plot of the film are almost identical. That is to say, the main plot is , essentially, nothing more than the story of Gump’s life: Gump is born, goes to school, goes to college, goes to Vietnam, comes home and sets up a shrimping business, meets Jenny again, runs across the country, etc.The subplot, which deals largely with Jenny’s life story，is radically different. It gives a lot of clues as to what has happened to Jenny during the course of her life, but very little of this is actually shown. We infer that she has caught AIDS , but none of this information is part of the subplot itself. Exercise Use your knowledge of the different kinds of subplot to categorize the Jenny subplot.The Jenny subplot can be categorized as both: ·Complicating: Jenny is Gump’s love interest, and so is adriving force in the main plot. ·Contradictory: Jenny’s underlying motivation(intellectualcuriosity) and attitude to life(experimental)are opposite to those of GumpVogler’s Seven Character ArchetypesChristopher Vogler, formerly story analyst at Disney and nowdirector of Development at Fox 2000 publisheda book, The Writer’s Journey: MythicStructure for Storytellers and Screenwriters,which has been called “the current industrybible”.Vogler argues that there are seven basic character functions:hero, mentor（导师）, threshhold guardian（关卡守卫者）, herald（信使）, shapeshift（变化者）, shadow（影子）, and trickster（骗子，魔术师）.These characters functions are reallybest thought of as character archetypes: thatis , they are mythological types to whichhumans respond on a deep instinctive levelbecause they represent the basic unchangingfeatures of human experiences.HeroMentor:Threshhold GuardianHeraldShapeshiftShadowTricksterThe Devil Wears Prada comedygenre ComedyThe Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 comedy-drama film, a loose screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name.Answer the following questionsa) Why does Miranda decide to hire Andrea Sachs,a girl who lacks styleand seems not to fit in there?

A fashion magazine and its editor-in-chief provide the movie with the fundamental storyline.The cardinal rule dominating the fashion realm is “thinness”, which is ingeniously revealed in The Devil Wears Prada. Behind this obsession with one’s body image lies a pervasive problem of anorexia( ie, loss of the wish to eat)-------- one of the main types of eating disorders.Cast•Anne Hathaway as Andrea "Andy" Sachs:•Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly:•Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton:•Stanley Tucci as Nigel:•Simon Baker as Christian Thompson:•Adrian Grenier as Nate Cooper: Andrea's boyfriend•Tracie Thoms as Lily: Andrea's close friend, who runs an art gallery.•Rich Sommer as Doug: A college friend of AndreaMemorable Lines1.Fashion is not about utility.

Miranda Priestly is the finest possible guardian of that beacon. Setting a standard that inspires people across the globe.

He believes that this is an island age and explains the reason.A hundred years ago, for instance, you had to depend on other people. No one had TV or CDs or DVDs or videos or home espresso（蒸馏咖啡）makers. As a matter of fact, they didn’t have anything cool, whereas now, you see, you can make youself a little island paradise.

It was written by Ron Nyswaner and directed by Jonathan Demme. The film stars Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. It was inspired in part by the story of Geoffrey Bowers, an attorney who in 1987 sued the law firm Baker & McKenzie for wrongful dismissal in one of the first AIDS discrimination cases.Answer the following questions1. What makes Andrew Beckett decide to sue the law firm which he haspreviously served?2. At first glance, Miller is a w orld apart from Beckett’s interests: he is a personal injury lawyer, better known for television commercials than for legal talent, and has had conflicts with Beckett in the courtroom before(Miller lost). Why does Beckett ask Miller to represent him?3. Why does Joe Miller initially refuse to take the case?4. What finally makes Joe Miller take the case?5. What do you think of the scene where Beckett plays an aria(咏叹调)from hisfavorite opera for Miller?Answers:1. Beckett’s bosses claim he has been fired for incompetence andmisplacing an important document for an important client, but Beckett is sure that it’s because he has AIDS. He considers that he is a victim ofprejudice, and is determined to win his case even as his own life begins to fade.2. Because the law firm is so powerful and prestigious, and Beckett is a gayinfected with AIDS, no other lawyer will take the case. After many rejections, with no one else to turn to, Andrew Beckett consults Joe Miller to help him pursue litigation.（诉讼）3. Joe Miller represents the everyman who harbours homophobic tendencies.He does not like homosexuals, who make his skin crawl. He also hasextreme fear of AIDs, and can hardly keep himself from wiping his hand on his pants after shaking Beckett’s hand.4. A chain of events has turned Miller’s emotions in line with Beckett’s case.His wife has a baby, from which he has learned what birth is about, and then he has found out about death too. He comes across the ailing Beckett in the library. Seeing through the face of AIDS, he sees that there’s a dying man there. Then he has a change of heart, recognizing a hint of familiar discrimination in the way Beckett is being treated. He is essentially homophobic but he is also against prejudice. After initial reluctance, he takes the case.5. It’s a brilliant scene where Beckett tries to give a passionate translation ofthe aria “La Momma Morta” while Miller looks on in stunned silence.Miller’s isn’t an opera fan, but as the music plays and Beckett talks over it,passionately explaining his acceptance of death in the midst ofdisplaying his continuing passion for life, Miller undergoes a conversation of the soul. And finally, what Miller sees is a man who loves life and does not want to leave it.Character AnalysisAndrew Beckett: a victim of prejudice, gifted, genuine, forgiving, kindJoe Miller: honest, warm-hearted, prepared for fight for justice, relaxed, witty Charles Wheeler: elegant, smart, selfish, hypocriticalThe setting of the film Philadelphia, which concerns the struggle of an AIDS sufferer to assert his legal rights in the face of prejudice, issymbolic. Think about the (1) the literal meaning of the city’s name, and (2) the city’s role in American history, try to explain why.(1) the literal meaning of Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love. The prefix“phila-“ means “love”; it also occurs in the words “philanthropy”( love of mankind) and “philosophy” (love of wisdom). “Delphia” comes from the Greek “adelphus” meaning “brother”. This is significant because the film seeks to contrast the old ideals of America (i.e. love and tolerance) with the reality of modern prejudice( against AIDS sufferers).(2) Philadelphia was the city in which the first public reading of theDeclaration of Independence occurred. It is also the city in which theLiberty Bell is located. This is significant because the Declaration ofIndependence states America’s commitment to individual’s rights to “ life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. These are precisely the rights that are denied to the protagonist of the film. The film uses this symbolicsetting to draw attention to the way that the old ideals of the AmericanRepublic are being systematically ignored in the face of the AIDS threat.。

超有共鸣的电影雅思part2英文回答：Resonant films are those that strike a chord with the audience, evoking strong emotions and leaving a lasting impact. These are the films that we can relate to on a personal level, either through the characters, the storyline, or the themes explored. One such film that I found incredibly resonant is "The Shawshank Redemption."The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont,is a powerful and moving film that tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who is sentenced to life in Shawshank State Penitentiary for the murder of his wife and her lover, despite his claims of innocence. The film explores themesof hope, friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.The character of Andy Dufresne, played brilliantly by Tim Robbins, is someone that many viewers can empathizewith. His unwavering hope and determination in the most hopeless of situations is truly inspiring. The friendship he forms with fellow inmate Red, portrayed by Morgan Freeman, is also incredibly touching and adds another layer of depth to the film.The film's message of never giving up, even in the darkest of times, is something that resonates with audiences on a deep level. It reminds us of the power of hope and the importance of maintaining our humanity, even in the most inhumane of conditions.中文回答：有共鸣的电影是那些触动观众内心，引发强烈情感并留下深刻印象的电影。

《阿甘正传》中阿甘说珍妮的父亲对她们的抚摸不是慈爱而是性侵犯，而阿甘这种傻乎乎的这种认识和我们正常人形成了鲜明的对比，这是一种轻视产生幽默的效果。

“幽默是释放”是指我们看到别人打破社会规则或者看到隐藏的反社会的欲望的释放。

比如说阿甘在越战中中了枪，他自己的陈述是“好像有东西跳起来咬了我一口”，打破了我们正常人严谨而符合逻辑的思维方法，让我们发笑。

1889年柯达（Kodak）公司研制出一种又薄又软的底片即赛璐珞（celluloid），这种底片可以高速穿过镜头，拍摄影像，并且可以高速连续地在投影仪上放映。

另外一个突破性发明是美国的爱迪生(Edison)和法国的吕米埃克兄弟(Lumiere brothers 法国人)分别发明的可以拍摄连续活动的摄像机，于1895年拍摄了世界上第一部电影（《火车进站》)，这标志着美国电影史的开端。

这个时期的电影主要通过镍币影院（nickelodeons一种门票一律五分镍币即五美分的小型电影院）放映。

早期电影的制作基本是依靠“摄影师制度”(cameraman system)，即每部电影都是由个人（摄影师）制作，这个人负责策划、编剧、摄影和剪辑。

这时的电影业被两个公司垄断：爱迪生和贝尔格拉夫(Edison and Biograph)公司，两家公司合办了电影专利公司MPPC(Motion Pictures Patents Company)。

从美学角度看，早期电影最显著的特点是倾向于记录和重视现实生活的某些方面，这种“真实摄影”（actually filming）是对单个人，名人或运动员，地点（风景区）或者行动（日常生活或新闻事件）进行长距离的连续拍摄。

虚构的场景也不过是小品、歌舞杂耍或对真实事件的重现。

这一时期的电影主要依赖于景象，而不是叙事。

喜剧小品、魔术表演是其核心内容,我们最熟悉的是卓别林（著名的英国喜剧演员，编剧，导演，喜剧电影的奠基人）的电影。
