『壹』 美国电影史英文版

英译：For a long time, the United States only to the film as a means of entertainment to Hollywood as a story and fantasy proction factories, so first of all note that the movie business value. However, after 70 years, the American film has been great development in academic research. In 1967, both in Washington and Los Angeles have established the American Film Institute (AFI). Film Archive, throughout the United States, including important ones are the New York Museum of Modern Art, Rochester's Eastman Film Archive, the Library of Congress, Washington, Berkeley Pacific Film Archive. 8 large film company has disintegrated or converting 60 years after the
A large number of film and archives donated to the museum and the University Film Studies Center, the study of national film traditions, protect their heritage plays a significant role in the film.

By 1900, Hollywood has a post office, a newspaper, a hotel and two markets, its residents number 500. 100,000 population in Los Angeles in the city, 11 kilometers east. In Hollywood and Los Angeles have only a single-track tram. 1902 Hollywood hotel, now known as the first part of the opening.

In 1907, director Francis Burgess led his crew arrived in Los Angeles, filming "Count of Monte Cristo." They found that, where beautiful natural scenery, plenty of light and suitable climate is the natural place for filming. The early 1910s, director David Griffith Biograph company was sent to the West Coast to make a film, he took Lillian Gish, Mary-bi g-fu and other actors came to Los Angeles. They were then looking for a new site, so proceed north, came a warm small town, and that is Hollywood. Biograph company found here in good condition

(Warner Brothers), RKO (Radio Keith Orpheum, referred to as RKO), Universal (Universal), United Artists Corporation (United Artists), Columbia Pictures (Columbia Pictures).

关于美国电影
长期以来，美国只把电影看作是娱乐手段，把好莱坞当成生产故事和幻想的工厂，因此首先注意影片的商业价值。但是，70年代前后，美国电影学术研究有了很大的发展。1967年，在华盛顿和洛杉矶两地成立了美国电影研究院（AFI）。电影资料馆遍布全美，其中重要的有纽约现代艺术博物馆、罗切斯特的伊斯曼电影数据馆、华盛顿国会图书馆、伯克利太平洋电影资料馆等。8大影片公司于60年代先后解体或转产之后，影片和档案大量捐赠给上述资料馆和各大学的电影研究中心，对研究本国电影传统、保护本国电影文物起着很大作用。

二十世纪的好莱坞：到1900年，好莱坞已经有一间邮局、一张报纸、一座旅馆和两个市场，其居民数为500人。10万人口的洛杉矶位于市东11公里处。在好莱坞和洛杉矶间只有一条单轨的有轨电车。1902年，今天著名的好莱坞酒店的第一部分开业。1903年，此地升格为市，参加投票的177位有选举权的居民一致赞同以“好莱坞”为之命名。当年下的两条命令是：除药店外其他商店禁酒，及不准在街上驱赶数量多于200的牛群。1904年，一条新的被称为好莱坞大街的有轨电车开业，使好莱坞与洛杉矶间的往返时间大大缩短。1910年，好莱坞的居民投票决定加入洛杉矶。原因是这样他们可以通过洛杉矶取得足够的饮水和获得排水设施。
1907年，导演弗朗西斯·伯格斯带领他的摄制组来到洛杉矶，拍摄《基督山伯爵》。他们发现，这里明媚的自然风光、充足的光线和适宜的气候是拍摄电影的天然场所。1910年代初，导演大卫·格里菲斯被Biograph公司派到西海岸来拍电影，他带着丽莲·吉许、玛丽·璧克馥等演员来到了洛杉矶。他们后来想寻找一块新的地盘，于是向北出发，来到了一个热情的小镇，那就是好莱坞。Biograph公司发现此地条件不错，于是在回纽约前又陆续拍了好几部电影。渐渐许多业内人士都知道了这块宝地，到好莱坞的电影剧组越来越多，美国电影业移师好莱坞的大转移开始，好莱坞向成为电影之都迈进。
1911年10月，一批从新泽西来的电影工作者在当地以为摄影师的带领下，来到一家叫布朗杜的小客栈，他们将租到的客栈改装成一家电影公司的样子。这样，他们创建了好莱坞的第一家电影制片厂——内斯特影片公司。
从那以后，许多电影公司在好莱坞落户，著名的电影公司有：米高梅电影公司（Metro Goldwyn Mayer，简称MGM）、派拉蒙影业公司（Paramount Pictures, Inc.）、二十世纪福克斯公司（20th Century Fox）、华纳兄弟公司（Warner Brothers）、雷电华公司（Radio Keith Orpheum，简称RKO）、环球公司（Universal）、联美公司（United Artists）、哥伦比亚影业公司（Columbia Pictures）。

『贰』 看英语原版电影对英语学习的影响

比较好的英语学习的电影有：《成长的烦脑》《走向美国》《绝望的主妇》和《friend》又称《老友记》。。。。。。

把思维、文化和语言"泡"来吃

学了几十年的英语却不会说，说出来也是老外听不懂的句子，为什么？因为你把语言当成了科学知识来学。上海新东方学校听力口语培训部主任，电影教学专家邱政政认为，看外文原版电影才能把外国人的思维、文化和语言一起"泡"来吃。

电影的选择

哪些电影比较适合用来学习外语呢？邱先生指出，选择电影有三看：一看语言含量是否大，二看内容是否贴近生活，三看发音是否清晰地道。以上三个方面几乎涵盖了语言学习中语音、语调、节奏、用词、思维、感情等几大要素。

说到看原版外文电影，很多人第一反应是，涌进电影院去看目前被炒得火热的大片，这实际上是一种误解。邱先生说，现在的大片往往制作时注重追求视觉等感官刺激，而忽视语言的锤炼。看这样的影片，看的是热闹
看电影学外语四步曲

第一步：硬着头皮看电影。在看一部新电影之前，千万不要看剧本，看不懂也要硬着头皮上，至少能对情节有所了解。

第二步：边看电影边研读剧本。不要以为考完了托福、GRE等就可以应付一切阅读。实际上，电影中的有些对话看起来很费劲，里面充斥着习惯用法和美国人独有的思维方式，要多看多听，才能适应它。

第三步：反复精听。争取听懂每一个单词，可以采取听写的方法。

第四步：背诵。一开始可以用中文思考美国人的逻辑思维，边思考边背诵，大约坚持10天左右。之后可以大体上用英文思考，把美国人的逻辑慢慢变为自己的了。背诵时重视模仿。

很偶然，在一次考试后我看了一盘原文的《黑衣人》VCD，里面有大量的非常诙谐的英文对白，这让我在笑得前仰后合之余突然对英语产生了很大的兴趣。由于电影里运用了大量的美国本土俚语，为此我还专门买了一本俚语词典。也是巧合，那段时间我接着看了好几部欧美的喜剧片，台词中那种对英语异常熟练的驾驭，不断涌现的轻松幽默的谈吐以及演员精湛的演出，让我对英语的兴趣大幅度提升。从这以后我保留了看原文电影的习惯；所以我的绝招就是看电影学英语。

无庸赘言，这种方法最大的好处就是可以锻炼听力。这种电影听力不像听磁带那样干巴巴的，你可以通过事件发展的逻辑推理，感觉到台词的意思，或者可以多看几遍电影，熟知内容后对台词自然就有感觉了。

在词汇学习上，你可以将词汇的用法做详尽的分析，挖掘词语的深层含义，对词汇有一个全方位的认识，而不仅仅停留在"就词论词"上。例如《阿甘正传》中，阿甘在表达自己极爱吃巧克力时说，自己可以吃下"一百五十万块巧克力"，I could eat a bout a million and a half of these. "million"一词在本句中是大量的意思，而并非说阿甘有过人之处，通过对"million"用法的分析，我对美国人的日常用语中用夸张的语气表示数量多的用法，有了一个更直观的了解。

另外，电影是文化的传播者，无论是故事的叙述，情节的发展以及人物关系的变迁都有着很多和中式思维不太相同的地方，而这些通过语言表达出来的文化差异，却不能仅仅用语言分析透彻，这就需要我们对西方文化，尤其是美国文化的一些特点加以了解，在了解的基础上再逐点分析，不断地加以总结，用心体会东西方价值观念的不同，以及由此产生的思维方式的差异，通过对西方历史文化等方面的综合理解，将语言上升到真正意义上的交流，让英语"活"起来。

当然，学外语也不能把精力全放到看电影上，这只能是一种学习的辅助方法。更重要的还是要你自己下工夫努力学习，我所强调的不过就是在学习里加上一些快乐和兴趣，毕竟让学习很快乐是一件幸福的事。

时下非常流行的一种学习方法是看电影学英语。通过电影能够掌握常用的口语句型，更重要的是学生可以通过电影情节非常容易的理解这种句型的适用语境，以至于有的人认为看好几部电影就能够学好英语口语了。然而，大部分学员在通过电影学习英语过程中有很大的随意性和盲目性，更多的时候是在看电影而不是在学习。作为北文英语学校英文电影赏析课的设计者和主要操作者，本人对此有一些看法，希望能够对广大学员有所帮助。

利用英文电影学习英语应该从硬件设施，电影选择，以及看片方法等多个方面加以注意。

首先，看英文电影最好做好物质准备。最好能够利用DVD影碟机或者电脑的DVD光驱。这一点尤其重要，因为DVD具有能够轻易调入调出字幕，中英文字幕随意切换的优点，这一点是VCD或者RM格式所难以达到的。绝大多数学员在看电影的过程中都离不开字幕的帮助。如果条件上不具备大家可以上网下载一些电影的DVD drip，另外再去一些字幕网站寻找这个电影的中英文字幕文件就是了。

适当的英文电影的选择可以说决定了学习效果的好坏，对于初级学员，我建议大家选择电影的时候以题材轻松、内容简单、画面对语言说明作用强为原则。这样有助于大家通过电影的画面情节猜出语言的含义，避免学习中因听不懂、看不懂而去寻求字典等其他手段帮助而导致的疲劳现象。推荐电影：Sound of Music, Finding Nemo, Lion King， Beauty and Beast 等等

中级水平的学员除了学习语言本身外，更要提高对英语文化背景知识的了解。因此选择一些历史题材的影片进行学习非常重要。推荐电影：Forest Gump， Heaven Earth, Troy, Patriot, Brave Heart, Gone With the Wind 等等。

对自己的水平比较有信心的同学可以选择Sex and the City, Friends 等等时下比较流行的肥皂剧，通过剧情学习一些比较地道的口语表达，让自己的英语显得更加的地道。

在英国几年下来，平均每年要在电影院里看20部左右的电影，最多的时候，一个月看了5部。尤其近年来新片大片不断，而且买两张学生票的价格比国内一个人看场电影还要便宜，所以好电影自然不容错过。

但是，电影看得精彩，语言却经常是个障碍。自然生活对话的语速，抢白时快急得台词，而且在美国电影中还有大量的本土俚语，都是会令人沮丧的因素。如何将那些对话听得明白呢？如何理解那些经常出现的俚语呢？如何意会英语中不同于中文的幽默呢？在这里浅谈几点经验，希望能抛砖引玉。

首先看英文原版的电影能够锻炼听力，从而提高英语的听力水平，应该是大家都承认的。所以从基础来讲，你必须有一定的单词量，尤其是对英语中千变万化的词组要尽可能的学习和了解。因为在日常生活中，你会发现英国人最喜欢用的大多是词组的灵活搭配，从而来体现细腻的神情或动作描写。那么这在看电影的时候，就已经起了相当大的作用。

那么是否要很大的词汇量和词组量才能看懂电影呢？答案是否定的。雅思的词汇量可能大家都知道，而只要具备雅思的词汇量，照笔者看来，就已经足够能看懂电影了。尤其在电影院里，坐在英国本地人中间，很多电影外的因素本身就会大大的帮助你融入到电影的情节之中。譬如说，对很多学生来讲，看喜剧片非常困难，因为涉及到对词组潜台词的理解以及文化背景的限制。但是，当别的观众笑的时候，你已经得到了一个完全充分的信号和理由说，刚才的对白和台词是一段幽默。那么时间一久，看电影时对语言的信心就会大大增加了。

另外一些小的技巧也值得一提：

1．看电影前一定先看懂它的介绍，并且对其情节有一定的掌握。对介绍中的生词和词组预先查字典了解中文的大致函（注：经常中文不好翻或不准确对有些词的应用）。

2．看电影时，抓住关键字词。这一点很重要，经常在为一句台词没听懂而发愁时，你可能又错过了一句能帮助你理解上一句台词含义的句子。所以，如果你的词汇量不是很大，记住，对理解电影起重要作用的是出现在影片中的：人名，地名，形容人或事件的形容词，动词或短语等。

3．如果是系列电影的话，如指环王，哈利波特，看电影前先看他们的小说也会大大帮助对电影的理解。当然这里的小说是指英文原版的。

那么，看懂电影够了吗？答案还是否定的。我们从电影中要得到的可能除了娱乐放松外，还有真正的想过把瘾-让电影感染你。很多好的电影通过画面和音乐就做到这一点了，但是力求上进的你，不是想把文字在台词中的如何运用也了解一下吗？如果是的话，这就是看电影时语言给我们的最大挑战了。不过不用担心的是，你已经有相当的词汇量，对俚语也有些基础，看电影时的信心也和以前不同了。所以我的经验是，用最基本的方法，让自己有一个质的飞跃。是什么呢？笔记。对，这可能是让本文读者有些失望，这么老的方法！但是很管用。好记性不如烂笔头。当你把经常错过的，听不懂的，常用的语言句子词组写在本本上，经过十来部电影后，你会马上体会到这个方法会带给你得巨大收获。当然这不能在电影院里进行，通常电视机上有字幕的电影是最好的。以后到电影院里看电影的时候，你就甚至可以和同去的伙伴解释他们没听懂的台词了。

好了，就让我们在英国，看电影，学英语，找乐趣。

在语言环境中耳濡目染，才能真正“活学”，掌握语音、词汇、句型、思维和文化；在语言环境中入乡随俗，也才能真正“活用”，达到理解和表达、交流和沟通。但是中国人在跟电影学英语时，多数人走入只看不听，或只听不看；只泛不精，或只精不泛的误区，以致看了一些英文电影，但是听和说却没有本质的提高。

但是学好英语，又必须从听说入手。因为学习英语听说可以使英语不再是望而生畏、死气沉沉的学问，而成为妙趣横生、鲜活灵动的实践。但是学习听说不等于“习得听说”，美籍华人的英语好是因为具备了“习得听说”的必要条件：英语环境。但是我们没有条件，可以创造条件，比如看美国电影和情景喜剧，有意识地给自己营造出一种国外的英语环境强迫自己用耳朵接受英语，同时开口说英文，就能在轻松、愉快的氛围中“习得听说”。

英语听说包括语音、语调节奏、用词、句式、思维和文化六部分。首先，对于任何一门语言，语音是基础，它不仅包括单词的发音，还包括真实交际中词汇、习语的连读、失爆、弱化、浊化、重音、缩读等许多音变形式。至于语调节奏，则是地道流利表达英语的润滑剂，没有接触过地道的老外，没有和他们有过面对面的交谈，是很难感受到语调节奏在表达思想中的巨大作用和强大震撼力的。语言是文化的载体，用词和句式的正确与否直接体现了对异国文化了解的程度。可以说，达到前三者就达到了与美国人的形似，若是又学会了美国人的思维和文化，能够用美国文化思维则可达到神似的效果。这就是立体英语教育模式，电影则是最好的媒介。

做到语言、文化双丰收。1、融入原则：不要把自己看成旁观者，而要是当成局内人看待，要与角色同呼吸、共命运，产生场景感觉。2、突破原则：关键在于模仿，模仿不能离开背诵，熟练直到能脱口而出。3、扩展原则：首先要在词汇和句式层面上扩展；其次是在此基础上，“泛看”电影，电影题材可以不受很大限制，但每部影片都至少要看三遍以上。4、挖掘原则：此时不能仅限于看懂表面意思，而是要透过现象看本质，去挖掘语言背后深刻的文化内涵，变被动为主动，以此达到听说的最高境界。周宁人暑期看电影学地道英语身临其境的快感英语听说六要素影视学习四原则影视选材原则1、生活类影片：这是最好的语言素材，向大家推荐的书目有：初级???《情归巴黎》、中级???《阿甘正传》、《西雅图不眠夜》、《漂亮女人》、高级???《旅行冒险记》2、美国情景喜剧：代表作是七、八年前在电视上播出的那部《成长的烦恼》，当代最流行的有《森弗一家》、《朋友》等，更多内容可参看：《美国“情景喜剧”俚语百分百》。

『伍』 求近10年来美国经典电影和其英文名字，越多越好，有利于学英语的，谢谢！

我跟说句实话，看电影学英语不是好的途径！
而且，美国独立后，不仅政治 文化独立了，而且语言他们也要求独立，所以他们的英语（也就是我们说的美式英语）并不是现代流行的且纯正的美国英语，他们现在说的是古英语，比如CEO这个词，是罗马宗教改革时期的衍生词，尤其是电影中。而我们现在学习的是现代英语，所以要慎重好一些。

『陆』 美国电影对中国文化影响，英文版

American movies and Chinese culture

From 1980s, a lot of western things, especially Hollywood movies have been swarming into China, which have influenced Chinese culture greatly. Just as everything has two sides. I think these influences include positive and negative aspects.

Positive aspects:
Political culture----the concept of democracy
In American movies, there are lots of scenes such as election, parliament and ballot. Chinese know the western democracy truly that is different from the ecation of the Chinese Communist Party.
Life culture----real western life style
In American movies, we find that life can be so degage like that. It makes many people thirsty for American life even paying with their lives.
Family culture----the new family concept
In the Chinese culture, there are usually big families. Lots of people live together including your grandparents, your parents, your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters and you. However, when we have seen American movies, we changed our concept. We know that parents and we can live separately. Parents will not put so much attention on us as before after we could support ourselves. They can live happily by themselves, but in past, parents put their attention on us all their lives. Meanwhile, we also find that we will not take care of our parents so much when we come up the stage. In past, the situation is not so. Chinese attach importance to filial piety so that we should take care of our parents very much.
Clothing culture----various clothing
In American movies, we find that we can live by ourselves which is called indivialism. In the past, Chinese clothing is simple that is different from motley clothing and hairstyle in America. Recently, from Sun Yet Sen's uniform to business suit, from cheongsam to erogenous clothes，the clothing has changed greatly.
Food culture----food and drink
In American movies, we can frequently see a family having breakfast together in the morning. Milk and coffee become more and more popular among youths in China. Meanwhile, tea that represents traditional drink in Chinese culture has less influence than before. Moreover, fast foods such as hamburgers, sandwiches, chips and buffet dinners impact Chinese food. A lot of Chinese, especially youths consider them as their favourite food, though they are a litter expensive.

Negative aspects:
Sexual culture----eroticism
As everyone known, there are lot of sexual scenes such as bareness and sex in Hollywood movies. Praiseworthily, they bring liberation of sex in China. However, it leads many problems such as porno, coprology, carnalism and one-night love.
Violent culture----adoring violence
Typical violent movies such as 007 greatly influence Chinese. A lot of people like to use violence to settle problems.

奥斯卡名称来历：

1，说法一

“奥斯卡”这个名称的来历说法不一，较为可信的是，1931年电影艺术与科学学院图书馆的女管理员玛格丽特·赫里奇在仔细端详了金像奖之后，惊呼道：“啊！他看上去真像我的叔叔奥斯卡！”隔壁的新闻记者听后写道：“艺术与科学院的工作人员深情地称呼他们的金塑像为“奥斯卡。”从此，这一别名不胫而走。

2，说法二

“著名演员贝蒂·戴维斯申述，是她最早命名奥斯卡的。她说自己首次领金像奖时，无意中叫了声丈夫海蒙·奥斯卡·奈尔逊的名字“奥斯卡”，被现场采访的记者听到，于是一下子传开来了。

《肖申克的救赎》的英文影评 版本二邮件发给你

Though adapted from a Stephen King novella, "The Shawshank Redemption" has more to do with a man's internal demons than the kind that routinely rise up from overgrown graveyards. Like "Stand by Me," it's not a typical story from the horror King. Instead, it's a devoutly old-fashioned, spiritually uplifting prison drama about two lifers who must break their emotional shackles before they can finally become free men.

Set in a spooky old penitentiary with turrets and towers, the movie manages to be true to its Big House origins while incorporating such horrific mainstays as the clanking of chains and the creaking of the walls. There's even a raven that roosts in the prison library, where he is cared for by a darling old trusty (James Whitmore). For the most part, however, the movie expands upon cliches that date back to James Cagney's prison portraits梩he twisted warden (Bob Gunton) and the sadistic guard (Clancy Brown).

Director Frank Darabont, who apprenticed on B-scripts ("The Fly II") and TV movies ("Buried Alive"), manages to fashion an improbable new pattern from the same old material in his remarkable debut. While he deals with the grimmest aspects of prison life (sadistic guards, gang rapes and befouled food), Darabont is chiefly interested in the 20-year friendship that sustains Andy (Tim Robbins) and Red (Morgan Freeman) .

The movie opens in 1947 as Andy, a prominent New England banker, is on trial for murdering his wife and her lover. Not only did he have a motive, but he had the opportunity梙is footprints were found at the scene of the crime梐nd he had a weapon of the caliber used in the shootings. He insists that he is innocent, but the jury finds him guilty. Sentenced to life twice over, Andy is shipped to the maximum-security state prison at Shawshank, Maine. An introverted loner with an interest in reading, chess and rock carving, Andy doesn't make himself many friends until Red, a 30-year-veteran of the system, decides to take him under his wing.

Things begin to change for the better when Andy finds a way to use his skills and ecation to benefit his fellow felons. When he overhears the guard captain complaining about losing most of an inheritance to taxes, he offers to trade his advice for three beers for each of the men who are working with him that day tarring the roof.

His reputation as a financial adviser spreads, and soon he is doing the taxes for all the guards and running the warden's outside scams. This leads to a position in the tiny prison library, which Andy graally expands into the best ecational facility of its kind in the area. It takes him six years to do it, but Andy never gives up hope.

It is hope that allows the self-proclaimed innocent man to survive what may or may not be an unjust imprisonment. And hope is his gift to his friend Red, who no longer even tries to impress the parole board at his hearings. He's become "institutionalized," he explains to Andy, and would be a "nobody" on the outside.

Red's gift to Andy is absolution when he finally confesses his true sins. Whether or not he pulled the trigger, Andy blames himself for causing his wife's death; his redemption comes as he learns to give of himself over the course of this marvelously acted and directed film.

Robbins gives a performance that evolves with beautiful clarity from starchy banker to warm and loving friend. Freeman is sure to gain his third Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Red. He also reads the film's lovely narration, much of it drawn verbatim from King's 1982 novella.

A detailed portrait of the routine of cellblock life, "The Shawshank Redemption" might change a few minds about the usefulness of incarceration in terms of rehabilitation. Mostly, though, it reminds us of that we all hold the keys to our own prisons.

《楚门的世界》英文影评The Truman Show'' is founded on an enormous secret that all of the studio's advertising has been determined to reveal. I didn't know the secret when I saw the film, and was able to enjoy the little doubts and wonderings that the filmmakers so carefully planted. If by some good chance you do not know the secret, read no further.

Those fortunate audience members (I trust they have all left the room?) will be able to appreciate the meticulous way director Peter Weir and writer Andrew Niccol have constructed a jigsaw plot around their central character, who doesn't suspect that he's living his entire life on live television. Yes, he lives in an improbably ideal world, but I fell for that: I assumed the movie was taking a sitcom view of life, in which neighbors greet each other over white picket fences, and Ozzie and Harriet are real people.

Actually, it's Seaside, a planned community on the Gulf Coast near Tampa. Called Seahaven in the movie, it looks like a nice place to live. Certainly Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) doesn't know anything else. You accept the world you're given, the filmmakers suggest; more thoughtful viewers will get the buried message, which is that we accept almost everything in our lives without examining it very closely. When was the last time you reflected on how really odd a tree looks? Truman works as a sales executive at an insurance company, is happily married to Meryl (Laura Linney), and doesn't find it suspicious that she describes household procts in the language of TV commercials. He is happy, in a way, but an uneasiness gnaws away at him. Something is missing, and he thinks perhaps he might find it in Fiji, where Lauren (Natascha McElhone), the only woman he really loved, allegedly has moved with her family.

Why did she leave so quickly? Perhaps because she was not a safe bet for Truman's world: The actress who played her (named Sylvia) developed real feeling and pity for Truman, and felt he should know the truth about his existence. Meryl, on the other hand, is a reliable pro (which raises the question, unanswered, of their sex life).

Truman's world is controlled by a TV procer named Christof (Ed Harris), whose control room is high in the artificial dome that provides the sky and horizon of Seahaven. He discusses his programming on talk shows, and dismisses the protests of those (including Sylvia) who believe Truman is the victim of a cruel deception. Meanwhile, the whole world watches Truman's every move, and some viewers even leave the TV on all night, as he sleeps.

The trajectory of the screenplay is more or less inevitable: Truman must graally realize the truth of his environment, and try to escape from it. It's clever the way he's kept on his island by implanted traumas about travel and water. As the story unfolds, however, we're not simply expected to follow it: We're invited to think about the implications. About a world in which modern communications make celebrity possible, and inhuman.

Until fairly recently, the only way you could become really famous was to be royalty, or a writer, actor, preacher or politician--and even then, most people had knowledge of you only through words or printed pictures.

Television, with its insatiable hunger for material, has made celebrities into ``content,'' devouring their lives and secrets. If you think ``The Truman Show'' is an exaggeration, reflect that Princess Diana lived under similar conditions from the day she became engaged to Charles.

Carrey is a surprisingly good choice to play Truman. We catch glimpses of his manic comic persona, just to make us comfortable with his presence in the character, but this is a well-planned performance; Carrey is on the right note as a guy raised to be liked and likable, who decides his life requires more risk and hardship. Like the angels in ``City of Angels,'' he'd like to take his chances.

Ed Harris also finds the right notes as Christof, the TV svengali. He uses the technospeak by which we distance ourselves from the real meanings of our words. (If TV procers ever spoke frankly about what they were really doing, they'd come across like Bulworth.) For Harris, the demands of the show take precedence over any other values, and if you think that's an exaggeration, tell it to the TV news people who broadcast that Los Angeles suicide.

I enjoyed ``The Truman Show'' on its levels of comedy and drama; I liked Truman in the same way I liked Forrest Gump--because he was a good man, honest, and easy to sympathize with.

But the underlying ideas made the movie more than just entertainment. Like ``Gattaca,'' the previous film written by Niccol, it brings into focus the new values that technology is forcing on humanity.

Because we can engineer genetics, because we can telecast real lives--of course we must, right? But are these good things to do? The irony is, the people who will finally answer that question will be the very ones proced by the process.

1.不同社会形态产生的世界观不同，对中国的青少年具有不客观甚至不好的导向。
2.过多的大片和美国拯救世界的意识侵略是与中国精神文明建设相背离的。
3.好莱坞开放式的性爱观念不适合中国，也给青少年造成了不好影响。

我很喜欢好莱坞的片子，写反方观点很难受啊，呵呵。
希望能帮助到你。
再者，辩论赛主要是有自己的观点大方向，其实最重要的是要抓住对方理论中的错误观点或者争议观点进行辩论
