英文影评如下：

The legend of 1900During this spring festival ，I saw several English movies .But 《The legend of 1900》gave me a deep impression .

When 1900 was a baby, he was abandoned in the ship. Since then, he never left the ship. His talents on piano made him welcome.

After defeating the black jazz musician, he became more popular. But he was so afraid of getting off the ship that he gave up his love for a girl.

His friend Max wanted to persuade him to leave the ship because the ship would be exploded. It did not work. A tragedy could not be avoided.

翻译：

1900年的传说在这个春节期间，我看了几部英语电影。但是《1900年的传奇》给我留下了深刻的印象。

1900年还是个婴儿时，他被遗弃在船上。从那以后，他再也没有离开过这艘船。他的钢琴天赋使他受到欢迎。

击败黑人爵士音乐家后，他变得更受欢迎。但是他太害怕下船了，以至于放弃了对一个女孩的爱。

他的朋友马克斯想说服他离开船，因为船会爆炸。没用。悲剧是无法避免的。

献码蠢睁上《阿档散甘正传》的英文影评一篇：迟岁

Robert Zemeckis (of Back to the Future fame) has collected another feather for his cap with his direction of this movie starring Tom Hanks as this childishly naive idiot savant. Though that description of Forrest Gump might be inadequate.

Gump, gifted with a low IQ which lets him be adorably childlike even as he grows up, leads a very charmed life: a mother who loves him immensely and who sleeps with the school principal in order to make sure her child has the best ecation, a miraculous incident that eliminates the need for him to have braces for his legs, a childhood girlfriend who remains faithful to him till the end, surviving Vietnam with a medal, and, in general, a propensity for turning everything that happens to him into good.

I wonder what the movie is trying to say. From one perspective, it implies that intelligence (as measured by IQs and the general idea of what "smart" is) is a very unnecessary trait. But I think one can look beyond that and say that childlike innocence, which can be considered stupid, has its rewards. Throughout the movie, Gump is in situations where he is harassed by other people but he never takes offense (except, of course, when his girl Jenny is being abused) at any of the insults thrown at him. He is indeed not completely stupid, even though he is portrayed as such, since he can re-assemble guns at high speed, run like crazy, play ping-pong like a maniac, and so on.
The fact that Gump doesn't take offense, I think, is what keeps him content. He becomes a millionaire, but gives most of the money away. He is honest and open and this, along with his Alabama accent, endears him to the audience. But this gets tiresome after a while (especially after 2 hours). I thought the movie was overly long, but that's the only negative thing I have to say.

Gump rubs elbows with many famous personalities over the last half of the century including Elvis Presley and Nixon, thanks to computer technology (General Dan doesn't really lose his legs either---they are just erased and the background is then touched up by using computer graphics programs). The account of how Gump is responsible for the gyrations that is so characteristic of Presley is very telling of the motives of this movie. Gump is contrasted to the famous males, who are idols (in some cases) in today's society, and it appears as though he is better off in comparison: Gump's choices in life seem to determine his niceness (he goes to Vietnam, keeps his promises ("a promise is a promise"), harbours no ill-feelings or grudges, and is not greedy with fame or money) and successes. Contrast this to the choices his lifetime girl friend Jenny makes: she wants to be famous and rich, but ends up being a druggie. The people she is surrounded by are all of a bious nature: a sexually-abusive father, a show audience more interested in her naked body than her folk-music playing, and an abusive hippie-boyfriend.

The traditional male heroes that we have had are all dysfunctional in some respect or another and we are lost without heroes, as Bloom points out. Gump is a new kind of a role-model; he's A Nice Boy and everyone knows they're hard to find. As one reviewer said: "Today the last American hero is a Tom Hanks character with a small IQ".
Forrest Gump is the runaway hit movie of this summer. Many people claim it gets them in touch with their "inner child". Some reviewers attack it for the view that low IQ is a necessity for maintaining the child-like attitude Gump has. Gump never grows up or matures in the movie. He never becomes a man and remains a boy throughout. It is implied, at least, that his "stupidity" is what allows him to do this. This may or may not be true, but it is just a movie in the end. Most people in his position would not be so fortunate as he. And what about the converse: if you are intelligent, does this mean you cannot be child-like forever? That's not true, and I think Zemeckis did a good job in showing that anyone can retain their inner child as long they never grow up or become mature.

There's room for much analysis here, but the plot isn't new. Peter Sellers did this a long time ago.

"I'm tired now. I think I'm going home." --Forrest Gump"Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get." --Forrest Gump
"Stupid is as stupid does." --Forrest Gump"I guess sometimes there just aren't enough rocks." --Forrest Gump

《阿甘正传》影评

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

Julie & Julia is a 2009 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Nora Ephron starring Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Amy Adams, and Chris Messina. The film contrasts the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child's cookbook in 365 days, a challenge she described on her popular blog that would make her a published author.

Ephron's screenplay is adapted from two books: My Life in France, Child's autobiography written with Alex Prud'homme, and a memoir by Julie Powell documenting online her daily experiences cooking each of the 524 recipes in Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and she later began reworking that blog, The Julie/Julia Project。 Both of these books were written and published in the same time frame (2004–06). The film is the first major motion picture based on a blog。这是我最喜欢的一部电影之一，我在维基网络上找的资料，你根据那里的资料改一改，至于观点，你可以写坚持自己的兴趣和爱好这一方面，写兴趣是最好的老师什么的，给你个链接

Since the beginning of the movie "tiny times is always accompanied by a controversial, by contrast," small age 2 "more than" small age 1 "certain content. In the small age 2, in addition to dazzling material show, we saw three is got a double degree, what efforts as for her, no film. After graation, she still support the family embarrassment girlfriends, and even to rely on the power of the family. While Gu Yuan after a girlfriend, the pain of infidelity, eventually be able to choose tolerance, give up the wealth to regain the love...
"Little time" is not the absolute difference, more is not absolute good, it builds the controversy contributed to its box office, perhaps this dispute is also bring the audience really harvest.

电影《小时代》自诞生以来始终伴随着争议，相比而言，《小时代2》比《小时代1》更多了某些内容。在《小时代2》里，除了光怪陆离的物质秀，我们看到了顾里大三就拿到了双学位，至于她付出了怎样的努力，电影没有表现。毕业后，她仍然接济着家境困窘的闺蜜，即使是依靠着家族的力量。而顾源则在经历了女朋友身体出轨的痛苦后，最终能够选择宽容，放弃财富来重拾爱情……
《小时代》不是绝对差，更不是绝对好，它所营造的争议造就了它的票房，或许这争议也才是带给观众的真正收获。

《2012》是一部灾难巨片，片中当然少不了许多震撼的地球毁灭情景。当地震来临，高楼像儿童的积木玩具一样倒塌，温馨的房屋眨眼间坍陷为一片废墟。在大自然狂暴的力量面前，人显得如此无力，几秒钟，或者几分钟，在地震、火山、海啸、超级洪灾面前，都消失的无影无踪。但我也看见美国总统在灾难注定来临的时刻，选择留在美国与自己的人民在一起直到最后时刻，“船长不愿丢下正在沉没的船，这是他高贵的选择”
按照玛雅人的预言，2012年12月21日是地球的毁灭日。虽然，这只是一个预言，但值得我们思考。在大自然面前，我们都是渺小的。在巨大的自然破坏力前，我们都是无力的，唯一能拯救自己的，除了方舟，更重要的是我们自己，是我们天性中光辉灿烂的人性，是为了亲人和朋友不惜付出一切乃至生命的英勇。当我们能够做到这一切，我们也才能够拯救自己，我们也才能够拯救人类和文明。
2012" is a disaster epic, the film of course, and ultimately, the Earth's destruction of many shocking scenes. When the earthquake coming, high-rise building blocks, like children's toys, like the collapse of a warm house for a blink of an eye Tanxian ruins. Rage in the face of the forces of nature, people seem so weak, a few seconds, or minutes, in the earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods in front of a super, all disappear without a trace. But I also saw the U.S. president in the disaster destined to come a time chosen to remain in the United States and their people together until the last moment, "the captain was unwilling to leave the sinking ship, it was his noble choice"
In accordance with the Mayan prophecy, December 21, 2012 destruction of Earth Day. Although this is only a prediction, but it is worth our consideration. In the face of nature, we are all petty. The enormous destructive power of nature, we are powerless, the only way to save himself, in addition to the ark, but more importantly is that we ourselves, in the glorious nature of our humanity, to family and friends willing to give up everything and even lives heroic. When we can do all this, we also be able to save ourselves, we also be able to save mankind and civilization.

电影评论，简称影评，是对一部电影的导演、演员、镜头语言、拍摄技术、剧情、线索、环境、色彩、光线等进行分析和评论。下面是我给大家整理的电影影评英语范文，供大家参阅!

电影影评英语范文：英语电影影评

During the summer vacation, I watched a lot of movies,such as , “Hilary and Jackie”, “Up(飞屋环游记)”, “The Shawshank Redemption [ri'dempʃən]” ,“ The Legend ['ledʒənd] of 1900”,“ The Truman Show”，“ He's Just Not That Into You” and so on.Now I will share my deepest feelings about some movies with you together and taste it.

First of all,the movie “Hilary and Jackie” translated “她比烟花寂寞”in Chinnese.The six words include the infinite ['infinət] deep profound. The film is divided into two sections, the first telling events from Hilary's point of view and the second from Jackie's. It opens with Hilary and Jackie as children being taught by their mother to dance and play musical instruments, the cello for Jackie and the flute for Hilary. Jackie does not take practicing seriously at first, but when she does, she becomes a virtuoso [,və:tju'əuzəu],

quickly rising to international prominence. Hilary, on the other hand, plays in a community orchestra ['ɔ:kistrə, -kes-] and marries Christopher

of composer Gerald克里斯多夫, the son 杰拉尔德Finzi. The film, though focused primarily on Jacqueline, is ultimately ['ʌltimətli] about the relationship between the two sisters and their dedication to one another; to help Jacqueline through a

nervous-breakdown, Hilary consents to Jacqueline having an affair with her husband.

The last quarter of the movie chronicles in detail the last fifteen years of Jacqueline's life, ring which she is diagnosed with multiple ['mʌltipl] sclerosis

[skliə'rəusis] and loses control of her nervous system, becomes paralyzed

['pærəlaizd], goes deaf and mute [mju:t], and finally dies. The film ends with Jacqueline's ghost standing on the beach where she used to play as a child, watching herself and her sister frolicking in the sand as little girls..

The second movie , I was going to say the “UP”

Up is definitely one of the better Pixar efforts. It's about the grandeur

['ɡrændʒə] and excitement of flight and adventure. The first ten minutes of the film about Carl and his life-long love Ellie are surprisingly touching. It's heartbreaking to see him lose his wife even at old age. With nothing left to do Carl heads for South America, but he's not alone. Russell, a Wilderness Explorer [ik'splɔ:rə] trying to earn his

['ænimeitid] films. Like other Pixar films Up is also very funny. Thankfully, it's sweet humour instead of the gross humour that's present in many of today's Hollywood films. In conclusion, Up is another daring, unusual and beautiful animated ['ænimeitid] film from Pixar that both children and alts will enjoy watching. I highly recommend it.

Finally,the “The Shawshank Redemption [ri'dempʃən]”.I don’t know how to express the feeling about this film. the movie is so great and Andy is a bloody

smart man! When I had finished watching the movie,I was excited and wanted to watch it again.Wheather the figures and details or the spirit that the music conveyed to.

I like Andy ,for his talent and his wisedom . And the most important thing that I like is his spirit—never giving up.

The movie talks about a love story of a man whose father decided to come out after his old wife dead. The protagonist was a little bit autistic because of his home environment. After he met a beautiful girl at a masquerade party and fall in love with her, his life became different and colorful. But it’s not easy to maintain this relationship e to both of them grew up in a disharmony family. At last, they learned how to love each other and solve the problems. I do believe that we all are beginners, there are many things that we aren’t good at, and we should face and try to deal with it, not just escape.

It’s a science fiction. The main character in the film is a man. And he writes letters for living, it’s a boring job as well as his life. As the story went on, the protagonist got an AI system that can talk as a real human by chance. Not long ago, he just broken with his girlfriend,but soon he found that AI is easier to get along with than real people. Surprisingly, he and “her” both feel like falling in love with each other, it makes him feel very happy. But good times don’t last long, they would quarrel, and it’s not easy to have an AI “girlfriend”. In the end, all of AI left people, in myopinion it’s because they love people. And they don’t want to hurt people. This is my favorite movie this year.

简爱
Kent
State
University's
school
of
theatre
and
dance
performed
a
rendition
of
the
classic,
Jane
Eyre
this
month.
The
show
was
a
musical
with
all
of
the
necessary
elements
to
lift
you
from
your
seat
and
submerse
youinto
a
society
in
nineteenth
century
England
from
the
time
the
cell
phone
shut-off
announcement
was
made
until
the
last
note
at
the
curtain
call.
The
recurring
arches,
darkened,
soft
lighting,
and
the
use
of
a
classic
chorus
to
go
along
with
them
alluded
that
a
sinister
underbelly
of
social
status
and
reputation
were
present
in
the
performance.
One
of
the
first
things
that
an
audience
member
noticed
was
the
grandeur
of
the
set.
It
was
composed
of
a
gothic-style
foreground
with
rustic
twigs
of
a
root-like
earthy
appearance.
There
were
grand
arches
for
windows
and
entries
as
well.
Also,
the
background
was
a
large
arch
with
the
silhouette
of
roots.
There
were
also
two
matching
greek-style
pillar
arches
on
either
side
of
the
stage.
They
added
a
lot
to
many
messages
of
the
show.
For
one,
they
were
grand
structures
that
were
barren
inside
which
is
much
like
Mr.
Rochester
himself.
He
was
a
man
of
high
social
stature
but
felt
enslaved
by
his
trick
of
a
marriage
and
his
grand
yet
incomplete
(without
a
true
love)
home.
The
arches
also
suggest
the
importance
of
reputation
with
the
same
sort
of
fundamental
grand
image
yet
emptiness.
The
way
that
people
are
enslaved
yet
scramble
to
ascertain
that
solid
image
amongst
their
peers.
The
arches
were
almost
inviting
the
audience
to
come
inside
to
reveal
their
secret,
the
thing
that
was
hidden
deep
inside
that
could
send
the
structure
crumbling
in
ruin.
