Welton Academy was a conservative but well-respected boys' prep school where education was a pragmatic and rather dull affair. The school life dragged on with all the formal and inactive lectures until one day a new English teacher, John Keating, came and stirred the stagnant water. Keating was an unconventional educator who tried to shape his students into "free thinkers" in and after classes. He guided the students in feeling the power of words and ideas. He urged them to fully experience every moment, to perceive the world from different angles, and to maintain uniqueness and individuality. The students' vision was magically transformed by Dead Poets Society -- an old organization in which the young Keating had read and felt romantic poetry with his fellow students and had started his quest for the true essence of life. Keating's students revived it and followed suit by meeting at night in a cave. The adventures of mind and soul gave them big thrills as well as the temptation to explore the unknown. Y et Keating's unconventional teaching methods turned the school authority against him. The story ended up with a disaster: one of his most brilliant students committed suicide because he found parental interference and pressure unbearable. Keating was blamed for the boy's death and forced to leave. Y et his relentless idealist experiments in Welton did bear fruits and added a hopeful and comforting touch to his dismissal: despite the school master's threats, Keating's students stood on the desks -- the very stance Keating would like them to take so that they could see things differently -- to pay respect to their teacher.Comment (for reference):Dead Poets Society -- A Film Review by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatHere is a very special movie directed by Peter Weir and written by Tom Schulman, two men who accept the Blakean view that no bird soars too high if he soars with his own two wings. In a rousing performance, Robin Williams stars as John Keating who in the fall of 1959 arrives at Welton Academy, a private boy's prep school, to teach English. Exemplifying his philosophy of strident individualism, this charismatic and unconventional teacher tells his students to seize the day and make their lives extraordinary.Keating's passion for poetry inspires some of his students to revive a secret club that he led when he was a student at the Academy. They gather in a cave to read poetry aloud and share their creative efforts. Among those who are most deeply influenced by Keating are Robert Sean Leonard as a boy who defies his father's orders and plays Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Ethan Hawke as a reclusive lad who learns to stand up for what he believes in, and Josh Charles as a love-sick student who uses poetry to woo a seemingly unattainable girl away from her football star boyfriend.Keating's ardent belief that words and ideas can change the world turns out to be true when a tragedy rocks the Academy and the conservative play-it-by-the-book administration make him into the scapegoat. His best students now become rebels with a cause.Dead Poets Society celebrates nonconformity and freethinking as an adventure worthy of emulation -- not your usual movie theme these days.

While in prison, he befriends a fellow inmate named Red and they develop a strong bond. Andy also uses his skills as a banker to help the prison warden with financial matters. Eventually, Andy escapes from prison and starts a new life.I love this movie because it shows the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit.

一位最有影响力的电影导演英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1One of the Most Influential Movie DirectorsMovies are awesome! I love watching them and imagining being part of the exciting stories and adventures on the big screen. But have you ever thought about who makes movies and how they are created? Behind every great movie is an even greater director who brings the whole vision to life.One director who has made some of the most popular and influential movies of all time is Steven Spielberg. He has directed tons of famous films that you have probably seen or at least heard about. Let me tell you a bit about this amazing director and why he is considered one of the best ever!Steven Spielberg was born in 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Even as a little kid, he was obsessed with movies and telling stories through film. When he was just 12 years old, he made his first amateur movie using his dad's 8mm camera. It was called The Last Gunfight and was about cowboys and Indians. Can youimagine making your own movie at 12 years old? That's incredible!Spielberg went on to study film in college and started his professional career directing television shows in the late 1960s. But it was in 1975 when he directed his first big hit movie that really put him on the map. Have you heard of the movie Jaws? It's about a huge great white shark that starts attacking people at a beach town. Jaws was a massive success and actually became the highest-grossing movie ever at that time! It was so scary and suspenseful, but also really fun and entertaining to watch.After the incredible success of Jaws, Spielberg went on to direct some of the most popular movies of the next few decades. In 1977, he made Close Encounters of the Third Kind about people's encounters with UFOs and aliens. Then in 1981, he gave us one of the greatest adventure films of all time - Raiders of the Lost Ark starring Harrison Ford as the daring archeologist Indiana Jones.Spielberg has a special talent for taking ordinary people or scenes and making them feel extraordinary and magical on screen. A perfect example of this is his movie E.T. theExtra-Terrestrial from 1982. The story is about a young boy who discovers and befriends a lovable alien that is stranded on Earth.A movie about a kid hanging out with an alien doesn't sound that exciting, but Spielberg made it so heartwarming, imaginative and filled with a sense of wonder. I bet you've seen the famous scene where E.T. and the kid fly across the sky and moon on a bicycle - it's one of the most iconic images in movie history!In addition to making films loaded with adventure and amazement, Spielberg has tackled many serious topics and periods of history. He directed the powerful drama Schindler's List in 1993 about a businessman who saved the lives of over a thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust. This heavy movie showed the horrific tragedy of the Holocaust, but also the incredible resilience and humanity of those who survived. It was an extremely important film that educated many people about this awful period in history.More recently in 1998, Spielberg brought to life the harrowing true story of soldiers surviving the intense WWII battle in Saving Private Ryan. The battle scenes were some of the most realistic and terrifying war footage ever filmed for a movie. Spielberg did an amazing job honoring the sacrifices of the brave soldiers who fought during that crucial time.Clearly, Steven Spielberg has an incredible range as a director - able to craft imaginative fantasies and adventures as well as gritty historical epics. Perhaps his most popular and famous franchise is the series of films about an adventurous archaeologist named Indiana Jones. With movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, we got to follow the daring Indy as he traveled the globe getting into all sorts of scrapes with villains while searching for rare ancient artifacts. The Indiana Jones movies blended action, suspense, comedy, history and had some pretty awesome special effects for its time. I bet kids everywhere dreamed of going on adventures like Indy after watching the films!But in addition to all of his live action masterpieces, Spielberg was also a pioneer in special effects driven movies. You may not know this, but part of the reason Jurassic Park in 1993 was such a landmark film was because it featured incredibly realistic and seamless computer generated dinosaurs that had never been achieved before. Spielberg struck the perfect balance of integrating fantastic visual effects into an exciting story that made the dinosaurs feel shockingly real and alive.Do you know what my favorite Spielberg movie is? It has to be his 2001 film A.I. Artificial Intelligence which imagined a future world where advanced human-like robots are commonplace. At the same time, the story touches on sensitive themes of humanity, love, and what it really means to be "alive." I was captivated by the emotional journey and relationship between the young robot boy and the human mother who struggles to love and accept him. Like many of Spielberg's movies, it made me imagine what life could be like in an entirely different world and circumstance. That's part of the fun and magic of going to the movies!There are so many other memorable Spielberg films I didn't even get to mention like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, Catch Me If You Can, Minority Report, Munich, Lincoln, West Side Story and Ready Player One just to name a few. Does this guy ever take a break?! Over his incredibly prolific 50+ year career directing, he has won 3 Academy Awards with over 20 nominations, 20 Oscars total, 7 Golden Globes and more accolades and honors than I can count.What makes Steven Spielberg so remarkable is his ability to tell meaningful stories across every genre and subject that still feel immensely entertaining and meaningful. Fromheart-pounding adventures and out-of-this-world fantasies to gut-wrenching historical dramas, his directing brings energy, emotion, and thoughtfulness to every scene. He is a true master of the movie-making craft and a visionary at capturing the wonder and humanity on the big screen.Movies play such an important role in our lives and culture. They transport us to new worlds, perspectives, and experiences we could never encounter in real life. And thanks to modern technology and movie magic, they let us witness sights our ancestors could have never imagined like walking with dinosaurs or traveling to other planets. For over fifty years, Steven Spielberg has helped shaped the movie-going experience and created so many unforgettable films that have influenced countless other directors, actors, and movies. The next time you watch a great movie, think about how a legendary director like Spielberg helped bring that incredible story to life with all the visuals, emotions, characters, and adventures captured on the big screen. Movies are so awesome!篇2My Favorite Movie Director: Steven SpielbergHi there! Today I want to tell you all about my favorite movie director, Steven Spielberg. He's made so many amazing movies that I just can't get enough of. From exciting adventure flicks to heartwarming tales, Spielberg has done it all. Let me share with you why he's the best director ever!To start with, Spielberg has given us some of the most iconic movies of all time. Who hasn't seen E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial? It's the story of a young boy named Elliott who discovers and befriends a lovable alien. I remember watching it for the first time and being totally in awe of the incredible special effects. The scene where E.T. and Elliott fly across the moon on BMX bikes is so magical! I must have re-watched that part a million times.Then there's Jurassic Park, another Spielberg classic. Can you imagine anything cooler than bringing dinosaurs back to life? The movie uses mind-blowing computer animation to make you feel like you're really there on the island with the T-Rex and Velociraptors. My heart was pounding during the kitchen scene –I was so tense waiting to see if the kids would make it out alive! Jurassic Park sparked my lifelong fascination with paleontology.While Spielberg is a master at delivering nonstop excitement, he also knows how to pluck at your heartstrings. The ColorPurple, based on the famous novel, deals with powerful themes like racism, domestic violence, and finding one's inner strength. I'll never forget the powerful performances by Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and the rest of the all-star cast. Schindler's List, Spielberg's haunting masterpiece about the Holocaust, left me in tears but also filled me with hope at the resilience of the human spirit.What makes Spielberg such a legendary filmmaker is his unbeatable versatility. He can pivot from popcorn blockbusters to hard-hitting dramas without missing a beat. Just look at Saving Private Ryan – it has some of the most intense and realistic battle scenes ever filmed, depicting the sheer horror of war. But it's also an incredibly moving tale about the profound bonds of brotherhood. I have so much respect for the way Spielberg handles profound subject matter with sensitivity and grace.In my opinion, one of Spielberg's greatest strengths is his unparalleled skill at building amazing worlds and bringing them to life on the big screen. The Indiana Jones movies are perfect examples of this. From expansive jungles and ancient temples to opulent palaces and subterranean caverns, every locale looks unbelievably rich and immersive. You easily get swept up inIndy's thrilling globe-trotting adventures in search of rare artifacts. I'll never forget the huge boulder chase scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark – my heart feels like it's going to burst out of my chest every time!What also sets Spielberg apart is his unending creativity and inventiveness as a storyteller. Whether it's battling xenomorph monsters in War of the Worlds, exploring the depths of our shared humanity in A.I. Artificial Intelligence, or going on unforgettable journeys to such wonderlands as Hook's Neverland, there's no limit to the tales Spielberg can bring to life. His vivid imagination and flair for visual razzle-dazzle keep viewers of all ages enthralled from start to finish.In addition to being a trailblazer, Spielberg paved the way for today's blockbuster era and proved that crowd-pleasing movies could also be incredibly artful and meaningful. Jaws, for instance, pioneered many techniques in suspense and horror that are still used today. But more than that, it's a masterful allegory about how humans' strained relationship with nature can have catastrophic consequences. Spielberg was way ahead of his time in using escapist entertainment as a vehicle for bigger truths about society.At the end of the day, what makes Spielberg's films so special is their unabashed sense of wonder, optimism, and decency. In a world that can feel dark and hopeless at times, his movies remind us why it's vital to approach life with a childlike sense of curiosity and belief that good will ultimately triumph over evil. Spielberg's ability to tap into our shared experiences of joy, fear, love, and loss is unmatched – that's why his work resonates so profoundly with audiences across generations and cultures.So those are the reasons why Steven Spielberg will always be my favorite director. From the very first fade-in, you know you're in for something special – a roller-coaster thrill ride that will not only dazzle you with its spectacle but also enrich your heart and soul. Spielberg's passion, artistry, and sheer imagination shine through in every meticulously crafted frame. I can't wait to see what other extraordinary visions he has in store for us!篇3One of the Most Influential Film Directors: Steven SpielbergHave you ever watched a movie that made you feel like you were really there, living through all the action and adventure? That's the magic of Steven Spielberg, one of the most famousand influential movie directors of all time. He has a special way of telling stories that makes you feel like you're part of them.Steven Spielberg was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1946. When he was just a kid, he loved making little movies with his friends, using his dad's movie camera. Even then, he had a talent for storytelling and making things seem real and exciting.As he grew up, Steven's love for movies only got stronger. He went to college and studied filmmaking, learning all the tricks of the trade. After college, he started making his own movies, and boy, were they good!His first big hit was a movie called "Jaws" in 1975. It was about a giant, man-eating shark that terrorized a small beach town. People were so scared by the movie that they didn't want to go swimming in the ocean anymore! That's how realistic and thrilling Spielberg made it.But Steven Spielberg is more than just a master of suspense and action. He also knows how to tell heartwarming stories that make you laugh and cry.

The way Spielberg showed the special bond between the boy and the alien was so touching thatit made millions of people around the world fall in love with the movie.Another amazing Spielberg film is "Schindler's List," which is based on a true story from World War II. It's a very serious and sad movie about the Holocaust, when millions of Jewish people were killed by the Nazis. Spielberg did such a powerful job of showing the horrors of that time that the movie won lots of awards and made people understand how important it is to never let something like that happen again.One of the reasons Steven Spielberg is so good at making movies is that he pays attention to every little detail. He works really hard to make sure everything looks and sounds just right, from the sets and costumes to the music and special effects. He also knows how to get the best performances out of his actors, whether they're big stars or little kids.Spielberg has made so many famous movies that it's hard to name them all.

He's won tons of awards, including several Oscars, which are like the highest honor a movie can get.But even after all his success, Steven Spielberg hasn't stopped working hard and trying new things.

看电影的经历英文作文英文:I have had many memorable experiences watching movies, but one that stands out to me was when I watched "The Lion King" for the first time. I was a child at the time and had never been to a movie theater before. My parents took me to see the movie and I was completely mesmerized by the story and the animation. I remember feeling so many emotions while watching the movie I laughed, I cried, and I felt scared at times.As I grew older, I continued to enjoy watching movies, but my movie-watching experiences changed. I started going to the movies with my friends and we would often make a day out of it. We would grab lunch or dinner before the movie and then discuss the movie afterwards. One of my favorite memories was when we watched "The Dark Knight" and we were all blown away by Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker. We spent hours discussing the movie and analyzing everyscene.Nowadays, I still enjoy watching movies, but I tend to watch them at home rather than in theaters. I love the convenience of being able to watch a movie in my pajamas and pause it whenever I need to. One of my recent favorite movies is "Parasite." I was completely engrossed in the story and the characters and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie.中文:我有很多难忘的看电影经历,但最让我难忘的是第一次看《狮子王》。

Y et it's still very popular with the young people today. Now, what, in your view, contributes to its lasting charm?C: Adolescent passion and ambition. That's the most cherished life experience. But not every young guy is lucky enough to (1)have his inner self awakened by someone mature, and insightful and willing to help. The movie presents John Keating not only as a teacher but as a mentor or a guide who inspired confidence and enthusiasm, love and respect. No wonder he becomes (2)a role model for young audiences D: Y es. Y ou just mentioned Keating, the leading role. In most movie reviews, he is hailed as a hero for challenging the rigid and utilitarian authority and advocating free thinking. Then, Professor Wang, couldyou be more specific about your impressions of this figure?W: A hero? No. A modern Don Quixote, yes. He appears (3) encouraging and inspiring but is in fact very (4) misleading and dangerousD: Misleading and dangerous? In what way?W: A responsible teacher never (5)does an experiment at the cost of his students. Despite his claim to pursue independent and integral personality, he was imposing his own ideas on the students. The students were turned against the school authority and pushed to accept Keating's authority. They (6) lost themselves in the dreamland made up by Keating. Worse still, they were dragged into a hopeless war against traditions and conformity and suffered a heavy loss—in vain.C: I venture to disagree. Keating was preaching and practicing what he really believed in. He was not experimenting on his students. Nor did he attempt to establish his authority. Instead, he just put forward his views and invited the students to open their minds and (7) explore the meanings of life on their own. He gave the students a chance to speak for themselves. By doing so, he could find out what was hidden in them, tailor his teaching strategies to their needs and bring out the best of them.W: Are you serious in calling the stuff "strategies"? I mean, ripping up books, standing on desks, marching up and down the school courtyard, and goading Todd Anderson, a timid boy, into making a "barbaric yawp"? Don't you think they are (8) too childish for a group of high-school students?D: It seems that Keating's methodology arouses much concern and controversy as well. His point is to prompt the students to (9)view the world from a different perspective. But the argument is that there could have been a more decent and less drastic way of illustrating the concept.D: What do you think of the movie About a Boy, Mark?M: A charming comedy fueled by sharp, cynical humor. Y ou know, I laughed all the way through it.S: Y eah, (1)a funny, touching movie. But I must admit that at the beginning I struggled to get into the film because I hate such a shallow, selfish womanizer.D: Really? Then what has changed your mind, Susan?S: The amazing relationship or I should say friendship between Will and Marcus. Will, a man dedicated to the proposition that (2)all men are islands , spends his life on his own private urban island. (3) Happy and depression-free life! Meanwhile Marcus has his hands full of problems ranging from taunts and bullies at school to his mother's attempted suicide at home.D: That's true. Marcus and Will have totally different lives before they meet each other.S: It is the tragic event of Marcus' mom's suicide attempt that makes them (4) become emotionally connected to each other Will gives Marcus confidence and sound advice about life, and helps him deal with a crush he has on a girl, while Marcus brings Will warm fuzzy feelings (5) which he is completely unaccustomed to, and a relationship that he is unprepared for but yearns for, and makes him realize that there's something more to life than watching TV or buying things. The two unlikely friends form a close bond. Through their relationship, I discover that Will does have "hidden depths".M: Quite right. What's more, their friendship helps both boys find their own way of growing up.D: Both boys growing up? V ery interesting!M: Y ou know (6) growing up has nothing to do with age . In my view, Will is just a man who refuses to grow up and (7) take the role of responsible adult On the contrary, Marcus, a 12-year-old kid living in a single-mother family, is precocious. In a sense, with an awareness of life (8)far beyond his twelve years of experience, Marcus is more mature than Will.S: I can't agree more. Marcus helps Will come to realize who he is, and what he's doing or not doing, which makes Will win Rachel back and (9) get to know the real meaning of life.M: At the same time, Will teaches Marcus what to buy and how to connect to people. Big boy helps little boy and vice versa. By the end of the movie both boys have grown immensely due to their friendship.Will opens himself up to others and Marcus realizes that (10) life can be more than just depressingD: I see. About a Boy is really a warm, funny and touching movie about friendship and love. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas with me.The Joy Luck ClubL: Amazing movie, isn't it? (1)A story of two generations, speaking two languages and living in two cultures. It does provide a sophisticated perspective on human existence.M: Quite right. I can't help thinking about my own parents, from whom (2)I've had tremendous guidance and counsel in various aspectsL: Y ou're so lucky. They must be wonderfully inspiring people, just like the mothers in this movie, courageous, determined, and always ready to sacrifice themselves for their kids.M: Exactly. My parents always reminded me and my brothers of our ethnic heritage and that (3) we should take special pride in our valuesL: That really counts. The movie in particular reveals that both the immigrant mothers and the American-born daughters struggle with the issue of identity. For the mothers' part, they foster and enjoy sisterhood in the Joy Luck Club, play Chinese mahjong, and speak Chinese freely. Only by doing so could they (4)feel the attachment to their roots, regain confidence and leave behind the uneasiness of dislocation. It's equally noticeable that they love their daughters in a Chinese way. I mean, sort of indirect love. Their expectations and even admirations for their daughters (5)are actually covered in harsh criticism and strictnessM: Besides, we see not only the mothers' efforts to instill their daughters with Chinese notions but also their attempt to save the younger generation the pain they themselves felt as girls. For the mothers, it's all trials and tribulations to (6)reconcile their past with their present.L: Y ou've got something there. The daughters, on the other hand, often see their mothers' arrangement and interference as a form of hypercritical meddling or just as a failure to get assimilated into American culture. Their impatience with and defiance against their mothers is a definite indication of cultural conflicts: Chinese culture thriving on (7)collectivism, family honor and prosperity, and filial piety versus American culture espousing (8)equal rights, free competition and self-achievement.M: Y et extremes meet. Conflicts and compatibility (9) are the two sides of a coin. The overall tone of the movie is uplifting. As is anticipated, the barriers are eliminated and harmony is reaped. The mothers change their former ways of remaining either silent or critical and become active in helping their daughters analyze problems and find solutions. It also dawns on the daughters that their talent would be draining away without their mothers' support, and more basically, (10)without their ethnic legacy and traditional wisdom.The Devil W ears PradaRather than an ugly duckling tale, The Devil Wears Prada approaches the theme of temptation—that of (1)fashion, luxury, power and ambition—which finds its ultimate expression in Miranda, the most (2) revered and hated woman in fashion. Miranda is in her own right comparable to a "devil" who puts the poor Andrea, (3)fresh out of college and journalistically minded, to severe physical trials day and night. Y et the real test never rests with the super weird and annoying requests and errands. It begins only when the girl starts to fit in the splendor and superficiality of (4)the fashion circles. Now the "devil" sets out to transform the girl by offering (5)a wide range of temptations. Changes on the inside can be easily discerned when Andrea hands out thousands of dollars' worth of designer accessories and cosmetics to her friends over dinner, when (6)she misses her boyfriend's birthday party only because Miranda wants her to attend a fashion gala and when she manifests indecision before the charming writer. The tempting move(7) reaches its climax when the "devil" gives the girl (8)a big speech about office politics to the effect that if you want to get ahead in your career, you have to be willing to (9)step over others . Awaking to the truth that this job which a million girls would die for is not really worth (10)the price of her soul , Andrea leaves the "devil". In the end, ideals and self-esteem have conquered temptation.PhiladelphiaIn the movie, Andrew Beckett's employers dismiss him from their company just because he is a gay man infected with AIDS . It's really very frightening to realize, as Beckett does, that prejudice and discrimination can even come from those who are supposed to help protect people's rights, lawyers! Beckett works for the law firm, and is an asset to their business, but they just dismiss him and try to make him look like a loser. They only think having someone with AIDS working for them will affect them and their business. In their opinion it could ruin them. And when Beckett starts looking for a lawyer to represent him,many lawyers refuse him because of his illness . Most people are afraid of him. Even the man who finally represents him is initially afraid of him. And when he is in the library trying to learn more about AIDS,he is asked by the librarian to go to a private room , which indicates how people's ignorance can make them behave in a way they normally wouldn't.Although in the end, Beckett gets true justice, this is only a movie. In the real world, many people suffe r from this kind of prejudice and discrimination , sometimes to a much more serious degree, and they don't get the help Beckett has. It's really a terrible reality because it is probably happening every day. But what we can learn from the movie is that people living with HIV/AIDS should also have equal rights in various fields to ensure they live positively in their communities. And the most significant thing this movie teaches us is that we should not be too quick to pass judgment who, for whatever reason, are different from us. We should not judge people from their health, financial status, color of their skin, the way they talk , their heritage or the culture they grew up in. None of these things should matter. All people deserve the same respect, compassion and right to live their lives in their own way .Beauty and the BeastIn the movie, a once handsome young princehas been transformed into a hideous beast as a punishment for his being cold-hearted and making judgments based on appearance. He has been cursed to remain a beast until he learns how to love and be loved in return . When Belle shows up at his doorstep, he is filled with both hope and fear; he hopes that she may be "the one" to break the spell , and fears that she may be repulsed by his ugliness.Belle hates the Beast at first, but when he risks his life, fighting off the wolves, to rescue her, Belle feelsthe heart of a true hero beating inside him . And as they come together, Belle gradually finds that the Beast, despite his frightening appearance, has a kind and gentle soul. The Beast has been changed by true love, and finally transformed back to a handsome prince, which suggests that love can transform people out of their beastly nature into the spiritualized human beings they really are. Love conquers all, changes all and makes all things possible .The villain in the movie is a young man named Gaston who is tall, strong and handsome, but shallow, rude and conceited. Gaston has been courting Belle just because she is considered the most beautiful girl in the town . He will do anything to make her his wife, including threatening to have her father thrown into the madhouse. When he senses her affection for the Beast, he recognizes the Beast as his rival for her love and organizes the mob to kill the Beast.Here on one hand, we have the Beast: a man trapped in a beast's body. Underneath the monster appearance, he has a kind and loving heart. On the other hand, we have Gaston: an animal wrapped in a human body. Although he has good looks, he is a horrible, selfish person. Both characters contrast each。
