乱世佳人观后感
As time goes by, the film “Gone with the wind” is forgotten by most teenagers, but it’s still my favorite film.
I admire Captain Rett, he is really a gentleman, and really knows what’s true love. So smart, interesting, handsome and strong. Most important is: he really knows how to protect and take care his wife: Scarlet.
Different from most other girls, I don’t like Scarlet very much, not because of her selfish and cool, just because I really think she is a poor fool woman, though she is good at negotiating with customers and good at attracting guys, she even doesn’t know who’s her true love, doesn’t know Rett is the one who really fit for her, I think that she doesn’t know herself at all, she is that kind of person who never like literatures, doesn’t have any romantic dreams.
That’s why she misunderstands herself loving Ashley but it’s not true.
I think another problem lead to their divorce is short of communication. Both of them are good at attracting others, so, for their experience and pride, they don’t like to show love to their partner, just pretend “I don’t love you”, and hope their partners shows his/her love at first. This kind of game only works for chasing each other and having fun, but when they marry, it will terminates their relationship upgrade.
So as time goes by, their love faded, their marriage became a tragedy.
人物评价
Mr. Bennet — An English gentleman with an estate in Hertfordshire. He is married with five daughters, a circumstance injurious to his family. The terms of Mr. Bennet's inheritance require a male heir. Because he has no son, upon his death, his property must go to his closest male relative, Mr. Collins, a clergyman who provides him with much amusement. Mr. Bennet, a gentle if eccentric man, is very close to his two eldest daughters, Jane and particularly Elizabeth. However, he has a poor opinion of the intelligence and sensibility of his wife and three youngest daughters, frequently declaring them "silly" and visiting them with insulting remarks as well as gentle teasing.
Georgiana Darcy — Much younger sister of Mr. Darcy. The age difference is so great that he is more of a father figure than a brother. Since their parents' death, she has been under the joint guardianship of Darcy and their cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam. She became infatuated with George Wickham and was persuaded by him to elope. Fortunately, she felt it was her duty to inform her brother and he quickly put a stop to this ill-advised plan.

Before I watched this movie, I was very impressed with the trailer for the film. It did an amazing job of hyping the film up to be a Lord of the Rings style epic with battles bigger then the world has ever seen. Now, I like my battles, and as far as I am concerned, the bigger the better, so this movie definitely appealed to me.
Then I headed out to see this movie on opening night....
After it was all said and done, I sat down to write this review, and I had a very hard time with it. I did not like this movie at all, but yet I had a hard time expressing my distaste properly. This was mostly a result of a couple of difficulties I had. First, I expected an ENTIRELY
different movie then what Troy actually provided and second, I had several friends that basically thought the film was the second coming of Christ, which was not the opinion I had at all. I basically decided that this movie deserved a second viewing before I actually sat down to put my thoughts into words...
So once again I found myself heading to see Troy....
This time, after the smoke cleared, I definitely found that I enjoyed the movie a lot more. I think the reason for that is that my expectations were no longer skewed, and I actually sat back and tried to enjoy the film rather then pick out what I didn't like. It didn't quite elevate me to the coming of Christ level but the second viewing was definitely the key for the final review that this movie gets from me.
Troy is a movie loosely based on the centuries old battle of Troy. Greeks vs. the Trojans. Where as the actual battle is said to have lasted 10 years, this movie foolishly attempts to wrap it up in a matter of weeks, and just seems forced. Basically, the story begins with the sons of Troy leaving with the wife of the Spartan King the morning after forging a pact of peace with him. This infuriates the King, who seeks the help of Agamemnon, the King of Kings who commands an army consisting of all the men of Greece to fight the Trojans. He takes that army to the door step of the Trojans, where the most epic battle of all time takes place...Fighting along side the Greeks, but in defiance of their King is Achilles (played by Brad Pitt), an ultimate warrior respected by the Greeks and feared by the Trojans. Leading the defense of Troy is Prince Hector (played by Eric Bana) who is looked upon as a god by his fellow Trojans, but whose common sense in battle is constantly overruled by the King of Troy who follows the "will of the gods".
My biggest problem with this film is the over hype and then under-delivery, of the so-called Epic battles. Now, don't get me wrong, one battle in particular has more people in one place then I think have ever been portrayed in any other film. The scene where 50,000 Greeks (on film it looks like 50 million) come marching over the sand sounding like an earthquake is truly one of the best scenes of all time. Where each of the battles truly fails is that once they get going, they are halted in mere minutes. The longest battle of the film, when the Greeks march to Troy, doesn't last any more then 20 minutes, before the film is ground to a halt once again with nothing but dialog and naked Brad Pitt **** (and they show way, WAY, too much of that...). One fight specifically has thousands and thousands of soldiers battling it out, but they stop the battle not more then 5 minutes later, as the commanders of both armies decide that enough blood has been spilled. That may have been how things were done in the past, but it just seemed like a convenient reason to stop another over hyped battle before its time...
The absolute best moment in this film, however, is the one on one battle between the greatest warrior of the Greeks (Achilles) and the greatest warrior of Troy (Prince Hector). This battle is beautifully filmed with close up, in your face action that makes you feel like the battle between the two warriors is actually occurring before you. Using everything but the kitchen sink to fight, this battle lasts easily longer then half the full on war battles, and is almost worth the price of
admission all by itself. If they had just used more moments like those, this film definitely could have reached more of its potential.
Ultimately, this movie just doesn't live up the hype. From the point where Achilles and Hector finish their battle, the movie pretty much loses everything else of interest in watching. The only battle remaining is that of the Greek soldiers sneaking from the Trojan horse, and murdering the Trojans in their sleep. Very anti-amazing to say the least!!! The final 20-30 minutes of this film is nothing but dead air, and adds absolutely nothing but completion to the story. It was dry, had too much dialog, and ended up being a horrendous way to end the film...
I really wish this film had been different. The first time I saw it, I was really judgmental. I hated the battle scenes as I don't think no matter how much people feared the gods, that an all out war can be halted by simply a quick word by a general. Upon a second viewing, that did not bother me as much, but yet it was still there. Just did not seem like something that real people would do in battle...I also think the character of Hector's Brother (played by Orlando Bloom) was very badly cast. As soon as that guy picked up his bow and arrow, all I could think about was Legolas from Lord of the Rings. I guess that guy has been kind of type cast (check out penny-arcade here, they feel the same way).
All in all, this movie just didn't live up to the hype. It got a little better in a second viewing, but just didn't capitalize on all its potential. Maybe the next director to tackle this story can learn from the mistakes of this film, yet still capture everything that Troy does right...When they do; we are all in for a treat...
Rhett Butler
Rhett is the dark, dashing and disreputable son of a wealthy old Charleston family. Disowned by his family and expelled from West Point for dishonorable behavior, Rhett is something of an outsider in genteel Southern society. Cynical and brutally honest, he delights in puncturing
pomposity and hypocrisy by telling the truth as he sees it, caring little about what others think of him. When the war breaks out, he does not immediately follow the patriotic young men into the army, but becomes a blockade-runner and later, a speculator, in line with his opportunistic
conviction that there is as much money to be made in the destruction of a civilization as in its rise. By the end of the war, Rhett is one of the few wealthy people in the South.
Rhett recognizes a kindred spirit in Scarlett and quickly falls for her. Alone among her
acquaintances, he sees through her every trick and deception, but loves her anyway. One of the tragedies of their relationship is that he is unable to tell her of his feelings. Instead, he hides behind a veneer of sardonic humor and bland indifference that Scarlett is too insensitive to penetrate. At the end of the novel, he reveals how much he has loved her and explains his
reticence: "You're so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over
their heads like a whip." Another reason why he keeps his emotions under wraps is Scarlett's obsession with Ashley. This finally wears out his love for Scarlett and at the end of the novel, he leaves her.
That Rhett has a good heart under his cynical shell is clear from his many selfless acts. He risks his own life to save Ashley and other Atlanta men during a Ku Klux Klan raid, and his devotion to his daughter by Scarlett, Bonnie, becomes legendary among the people of Atlanta. Most importantly, he supports and helps Scarlett in many ways. Rhett lends her money to buy the sawmill, and when the rest of Atlanta is condemning her for her unwomanly behavior in running her businesses, he is the only person who encourages her. She comes to rely on him as the only person to whom she can talk with total honesty, though typically, she fails to understand that his unflagging support and understanding are signs of his love for her. She also spends most of the novel only seeing Rhett's disreputable aspects, dismissing him as a "scoundrel" and "not a
gentleman." This also becomes Atlanta society's view of him when he is engaging in speculation, profiteering, and trading with the Yankees at the expense of the South. Only Melanie is his
constant champion, maintaining that he is much misunderstood and better than people think him. In many ways, Rhett has feminist instincts. He helps three women start or expand their businesses - Scarlett, Belle Watling, and Mrs Merriwether - at a time when 'decent' women were not supposed to engage in trade. Also, he finds it incomprehensible that women are supposed to disappear from society when they are pregnant.
Rhett symbolizes the New South, the values of entrepreneurship and ruthless opportunism that the South is forced to adopt under the influence of the North in order to survive the war. Most of the time, he refuses to conform to Southern patriotic expectations and is openly contemptuous of them. However, on two occasions, Rhett reveals that he has more of the Old Southern gentleman in him than he cares to admit. The first occasion is after the Yankee bombardment of Atlanta, when he leaves Scarlett to make her own way back to Tara and goes to join the Confederate army at a time when defeat seems imminent. The second occasion is at the end of the novel, when he again leaves Scarlett, this time to make peace with his prominent Old Southern family and to recapture
something of the refined life of a Southern gentleman. Rhett's unexpected patriotism symbolically suggests that however much the South adapts to the values of the changing times, at its heart, it maintains the dream of graceful living that characterized the Old South.
Ashley Wilkes
Ashley is a Southern gentleman born into the wealthy family that owns Twelve Oaks plantation. Though he is attracted to Scarlett, he recognizes that she is very different from him, and marries Melanie Hamilton, who is very like him. Ashley stands in contrast to Rhett for most of the novel. He is honorable, courteous and skilled in the gentlemanly pursuits of the arts, poetry, and riding. After the war, unlike Rhett and Scarlett, he fails to adapt to the changing times and his weaknesses become more obvious. He dreams of the old days, when life had a beauty and grace that has been swept away by the war. Scarlett supports him and his family at Tara, but he proves a poor farmer. Then she sets him up in business as manager of her mill in Atlanta, but he fails to make a profit. He sacrifices his honor by accepting Scarlett's charity, and never recovers his self-esteem.
特洛伊观后感
(1)What's most impressive about Wolfgang Petersen's Troy isn't its rousing super-battles, the grandiose scale of its sets or its expert cinematography. We know that Hollywood has the
ability to pull off such large-scale trickery. And, after such successful epics as Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, such sights and sounds should come as no surprise, considering what is
capable with today's moviemaking technology. What's most impressive about Troy is that it comes across as an effective and even insightful character study, even if it can never transcend the feeling that you're just watching a big, expensive magic trick.
Troy is "inspired" by Homer's poem The Iliad, which, along with The Odyssey, is something most of us read in high school English class. Homer's book chronicles, often with gruesome detail, the war between the Greeks and the city of Troy after Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) falls in love with Greek princess Helen (Diane Kruger). Paris and Helen steal away to Troy, causing Helen's husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson) to urge his brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox) to wage war on the Trojans. The Greek army launches a thousand ships to the Troy beach,
accompanied by the supposedly invincible Achilles (Brad Pitt). The 10-year war begins, though in Troy it only feels like a few days.
The screenplay by David Benioff does an excellent job in conjuring up a two-and-a-half-hour Cliff Notes version of Homer's poem. Disposing of the gods as characters with active roles in the war, the script's story arc is only interested in key plot points, which does wonders in maintaining a consistent narrative pace. Benioff wrote the source novel and screenplay for Spike Lee's
excellent 25th Hour, so it's appropriate that he would be more interested in the inner turmoil of a few key characters rather than staging battles that go on for 20 minutes. The most memorable scene in the film isn't a fight, but rather a quiet, desperate moment between Achilles and Trojan king Priam (Peter O'Toole). It's a meeting that probably never happened, but it goes a long way in developing the film's underlying themes of honor, respect and ultimately something of an anti-war message.

So what if Troy falls short of its good intentions to pave the road to boffo glory with art? You are not going to resist a Gladiator-size epic with studly guys, led by Brad Pitt buffed to steroidal splendor as Achilles, playing a game of "my dick is bigger than yours" by going to war over a babe. OK, the story is direct from Homer, with attendant reminders of slogging through The Iliad in lit class. But Troy, besides being tremendously entertaining, is the best crib-sheet guide to Homer ever. Director Wolfgang Petersen (The Perfect Storm) rips and roars through the tale, filling the screen with all the action a $200 million budget can buy. In battle scenes, Petersen
whips his computers into a frenzy, making 1,000 extras in soldier drag look like 50,000, each with a mean hair up his butt. These Troy boys may wear sissy sandals, but they can stick in a sword and gut an opponent with enough artery-piercing, entrail-twisting brio to earn an R rating.
You know the story. Paris (Orlando Bloom), the hottie prince of Troy, runs off with Helen (Diane Kruger), the hottie wife of the Greek king Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson). Royally pissed off, the king and his brother Agamemnon (the estimable Brian Cox) launch 1,000 ships (again with the computer magic) and steam off to Troy. The combat scenes, with soldiers rushing toward one another brandishing weapons heavy with phallic symbology, have a visceral pow.
But what of character, say you who are not content with a rousing popcorn movie buttered with testosterone? Here we hit a snag. At first, Pitt seems to be the film's Achilles heel. Removing his helmet, he shakes out a head of lush hair gleaming with blond highlights, as if to say, "Hi, I'm Achilles for Garnier Fructis." This shampoo-ad glamour -- not to mention bare-ass sex scenes with a temple virgin, Briseis (warmly played by Rose Byrne) -- wimps out a harsh character. Achilles, a mercenary hired by the Greeks, is haunted by demons. Pitt gathers momentum after the script, by David Benioff (25th Hour), stops saddling him with Braveheart lines ("Immortality -- take it, it's yours!") that don't exactly trip off his surfer-dude tongue. It's also no help to Pitt that the cast
consists of classically trained, mostly British actors, including the legendary Peter O'Toole as King Priam of Troy.

Hector, I think movie he is a real hero, is almost perfect. To love their own wives, love your family, to keep his promise and steadfastly, brave and strong, have military ability, also
compassionate, also temporarily couldn't think of any defects. His weakness is too love their
brother. When he was in Sparta with Helen of Troy actually knows, but he can't timely stop. In the back of the boat Trojan no decisive took Helen back to Sparta
Achilles, a hero, not to any power yield, not for anyone service, only for his own but war, legitimate, keep your promise. But sometimes too self-centered, his cousin's death was to blame, but must accommodate Achilles and Hector. And too great-hearted useful, kill Hector also put his body away, as if such ability for his cousin revenge, but he eventually returned Hector corpse, and keep his promise 12 days without siege. And he dare to protect themselves like women, that kind of momentum, threatening the king real man." Achilles another advantage is respect for women, he like to LiangSiCheng as britney Seth said a sentence: "you is free!" He hide Trojan is not to enter Troy king, the door, but manon siege in search of cloth in Seth. Finally he to cloth in Seth gave their lives, he didn't pitch the sword shots stabbed to death Paris, I think because he knows that to do so would let the cloth, because he has been a sad Seth kill her relatives - a Hector.
