《少年派》中英文影评
Comment on the movie《Life Of Pi》Seeing from the Chinese title of this movie，it’s not difficult to know that《Life Of Pi》is a movie full of fantasy and adventure. The film tells the story of Pi who had a 227 days ’adventurous drift at sea with a Bengal tiger. While bringing us a stunning audio-visual feast, the movie also led us to think about humanity and barbarity.
From the perspective of shooting skill，the film was shoot in the similar way with《Titanic》：The aged protagonist tells his or her own experience or story to us. There is a big part of background of Pi’s Boy’ life which seems kind of boring at first; but when I finished watching the whole movie, I finally realized the importance of the long opening: it helps a lot with our understanding of the later stories happening to Pi.
As for the story of the movie, actually director Ang Leeprovided us two stories to choose: One is about the drift between the young man and the tiger. The other one is that author concludes that cook have killed and ate the seaman, then killed Pi’s mother, eventually Pi killed and ate the cook. The grown Pi didn’t declare against the conclusion. Instead, he just asked the author that which story does he like. Grown Pi said the author believed in god after he got the answer.
F or me, I don’t believe in God, neither do I think there is much
meaning in auguring which story is true or false .I sn’t it much better that we’re given more space to think and make the choice by our own understanding?We all seem to be good at suspecting all the beauty while denying the cruelty of reality. I prefer the 1st story maybe just because there is a 2nd story. And this is exactly where this film is bright: turning the story of slaughter and revenge in human world into a story of the law of jungle in animal world and the friendship between the teenage Pi and the tiger. Through the two different stories, the film discussed how to defeat fear, how to overcome oneself and how to get along with oneself.
All in all, asfar as I’m concerned ,in《Life Of Pi》, a story happened among a teenager, a tiger and a vast sea, directorAng Lee refined a highly metaphorical life by closed space scheduling, magnificent visual images and the artistic technique of the actual situation and white：how to get along with oneself? There are so many questions left in the film for us to think，which is one of the reasons why I love it. I remember there is a scene in the film, memorable and thought-provoking: At last the Tiger ran to the jungle without looking back——“All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say good-bye” ,Pi said.——“When people step into the social jungle, don’t they also refuse to get back anymore?”, I am thinking .
译文：
从中文片名不难看出，《少年派》是一部充满奇幻冒险风格的，影片，该片讲述了少年派和一只孟加拉虎在海上漂泊227天的历程。影片在带给我们震撼的视听盛宴同时也引发了我们关于人性和兽性的思考。
从拍摄手法上来看，影片采用了和泰坦尼克号相似的上了年纪的主角叙事给别人的听的手法拍摄。电影开头的大段Pi少年时候的背景故事，一开始看起来似乎有点无聊，但看完后发现前戏都很重要，对理解后面的故事有很大铺垫作用。
从故事层面看，实际上导演李安提供了两个故事供我们选择：一个是少年和老虎的神奇漂流之旅；另一个是作家推断出来的厨子吃了水手，杀死妈妈，然后pi杀死了厨子并吃掉厨子的故事。成年pi没有否认小说家的推断，只是问他喜欢哪个故事，得知对方喜欢第一个故事时，成年pi说对方看见了上帝。
在我看来，我不信上帝。我也觉得探讨哪个故事是真哪个是假没什么意义，影片留给我们自己体会选择的空间岂不是更好？人们似乎都擅长怀疑所有的美好，又拒绝承认现实的残酷。也许正是有了第二个故事，我才更喜欢第一个故事。本片高明的地方便在于此：把一个人间杀戮和复仇故事转化成一个动物世界的弱肉强食以及少年和老虎的友谊故事。通过两个截然不同的故事，影片探讨了是人如何战胜恐惧，战胜自我，如何与自己相处。
总之，在我能够理解的层次来看，《少年pi》中，一个少年、一只猛虎、一片汪洋，李安以封闭性的空间调度、瑰丽的视觉影像、虚实相间的艺术手法，提炼了高度隐喻的人生：一个人如何与自己相处？影片留给我们诸多值得思考的问题。这也是我爱它的原因之一。片中有一幕让人难忘并引人思索：最后老虎头也不回
向丛林奔去——“人生就是不断地放下，然而痛心的是，我还没来得及与你们好好告别。”Pi 说——我在想，当人步入社会丛林时，何尝不是决绝忘了回头？
浅析英语文学和影视作品中俚语的社会语言学特征
浅析英语文学和影视作品中俚语的社会语言学特征 摘要：英语文学和影视作品中俚语的运用具有以下三大社会语言学特征：以说话者为中心的特征、以听者为目的的特征及其语法形态和语义不明确的特征。对这些特征的了解有助于引导学生正确地识别俚语，有助于增强学生驾驭英语语言的能力。 关键词：英语中的俚语；社会语言学特征；解析 俚语（slang）在汉语里被解释为是粗俗的或通行面极窄的方言词，而在英语中，它则被定义为是在非正式用法中常用的、而且通常被认为是不属于标准英语部分的、经常被故意用来使之能收到形象、生动或新颖、不落俗套效果的词或短语，或者表达这些词或短语的某些特定的意义（《简明牛津词典》第六版）。俚语在英语文学和影视作品中被广泛应用，在意义表达和对作品主题的揭示等方面起着重要作用。所以，对英语文学和影视作品中的俚语的社会语言学特征进行研究，有助于引导学生正确地识别俚语，有助于增强学生驾驭英语语言的能力。 一、俚语的社会语言学特征 1.俚语的以说话者为中心的特征 俚语的第一个大的特征是其以说话者为中心的特征。俚语的以说话者为中心的特征具体表现在以下一些方面： （1）群组限定特征。群组限定特征即指把说话者描述为在社会上属于某一群体的人的特征，所以语言学家就顺理成章地把俚语中的群组特征做为最常用的一个特征列出。对某个群体来说，俚语是其语言的变体，它像胶水一样地把群体里面的人粘在一起，同时也封住外面的人不让他们进来。因此，对某个群体来说，俚语就是识别其群体的标志。 （2）口语化。口语化是俚语的基本特征。俚语通常被作为口语来使用。在被作为口语来使用时，俚语常常被用来打破说话主色调中的拘谨的气氛，从而拉近发话者与听者之间的距离。 （3）时间限制特征。时间限制指俚语是随着时代的变化而变化的，指某一时代盛行的俚语会随着这一代的结束而消失。这样一来，现在盛行的俚语，在未来的岁月里则可能会受到质疑。 （4）话题的限制性。在英语中，俚语还被描述为是某一社会群体的专用语，甚至是社会中的某一阶级、某一职业或某种活动中的专门用语，这就使俚语被用于使用某些专门术语的一部分社会成员中，俚语因此也有了其话题的限制性。

Life is there for us to enjoy After watching the movie Dead Poets Society, my eyes were full of tears. What could not be removed from my heart is that these young men finally learned the way to look at things from different ways from Mr. Keating. Seize the day, when you notice this point, it is never too late to start to do something. In Welton School, four pillars were set for the students to obey: tradition, hour, discipline, excellence. But what the school leaders performed left them an image as hypocrisy, and the school like a place of hell. Not until the day John Keating came, did they find some new meaning of life. I still remember on Keating's first class, one boy copied every sketch Keating drew on the blackboard, and then was told all that was nonsense. Keating told them to rip off the very page about theory on poetry, which may restrain their free thought about poetry. Then standing on the desk, he showed the young men they could look at things from different angles. "Carpe Diem, seize the day, boys, make your life extraordinary.” In order to make them realize the true meaning of life, Keating disguised as one of the precursors on the picture, whispering to them. When I heard this sentence, I began to think about my own life. Being a senior student faced with graduation, we are pushed to believe that every second is a inseparable part of life to become a step near to success. That is to say, for almost every one of us, to seize the day means to be successful, it is same with me. Not until a piece of news on the Internet shocked me some other day—Kaifu Lee found himself suffering from cancer. In my eyes, he is always positive, ready to give job hunters tips for searching jobs. What's more, I took for granted that such a person could live a happy and healthy life. The truth is that I was wrong. Hence, I have been reconsidering about life. To pursue success on career is one kind of passion, but life is not only made up of fame and profit, there are

电影死亡诗社观后感影评650字
电影死亡诗社观后感影评650字 美国的片子《死亡诗社》，它的故事发生在1959年的威尔顿预备学院，那是一个扼杀个性的年代，也许我们今天仍处在这个时代中.这里给大家整理了一些有关死亡诗社的观后感,希望对大家有所帮助. 死亡诗社观后感1 看完电影《死亡诗社》觉得非常真实，前一秒孩子们喊这学校的口号“传统，荣誉，纪律，优秀”，后一分钟孩子们高喊自己的原创口号。孩子原始的天性细腻的在影片中表现，青春期蠢蠢的萌动真实的展现。影片中孩子的活泼，家长的专制，校长的古板，新教师的个性都强烈冲击我们的心灵。我相信大部分的孩子都会喜欢这个非传统的老师，吹着口哨进课堂，将课堂搬到教室外的连廊，鼓励学生撕掉课本的前言…… 我们能看见他真诚善良，鼓励孩子克服困难，帮助孩子超越自己。所以孩子都喜欢上他的课，因为自由，活跃，快乐，可以乘着想象的翅膀高飞。这是他们也是整所学校从未发生过的事，以学院为首的传统教育思想和以英文老师为首的现代教育的冲突和碰撞不可避免的发生了。这两种教育有点像我们的应试教育与素质教育。如何做好素质教育，认真执行二期课改，教师还需要勇气、智慧和实干精神。真正做到以人为本，让孩子活出生命的活力和意义。
基丁老师有很多值得我们学习的地方，但鉴于国情和孩子的不同特点，我觉得尼尔的死在我们的身边可以避免。基丁老师教了怎样选择活着意义，但未教授如何热爱我们的生命，对生命负责。尼尔为反抗父母的意愿以自杀为代价，让我看后很震撼。我在想如果是我班级的孩子有像尼尔这么强烈的兴趣欲望，我们教师应该做好沟通工作，和孩子的心理辅导。不可能愿望现实不了就放弃自己的生命，这是对自己生命的极其不负责任。当然现在也有个别孩子心灵脆弱，为不弹琴绞断手筋，成绩不好跳楼等等，所以现行“两纲”教育中特别强调的生命教育。这也是我们教师不可忽略的方面，急需加强教育，希望悲剧不要在我们身边发生。 影片《死亡诗社》中基丁老师要离开学校时，班里最内向的学生，第一个站到了课桌上，陆续有其他同学也站了上去。他们是在用自己的行动向基丁老师表达自已他的敬意和感激。看到这儿，我落泪了……老师的成功是什么?是孩子考出好成绩吗?这是一个太浅显的回答，我认为老师的成功应该是，作为老师你的思想、人品影响了孩子，指引孩子，而孩子正向着你期望的方向逐渐迈近，那种收获和满足是无法用言语表达的。从某种意义上讲，这才是为人师者最大的成功。“亲其师，信其道”，让我们先从关心、爱护身边的孩子做起，相信定会有不俗的收获。 死亡诗社观后感2
5篇英文电影观后感(用英语写的)
功夫熊猫 Or the dream factory has always been the high standard, the screen exquisite detail, vivid characters vivid, touching story twists and turns, the most important thing is it in the most simple and easy to understand that the way of a token, that is - there is no shortcut to the world and Cheats, the only winning Famen is believe in themselves.? 这个杀手不太冷 This film was absolutely amazing. I have spent hours re-watching various scenes and noticing all the perfection with which they are acted and directed. It's not the violence or action sequences that make this movie so great (although they are well done...), but rather moments like where Mathilda knocks on Leon's door. It would be so easy to just film the door opening, but instead we see light illuminating Natalie Portman's face, symbolizing something angelic. And the moment has so much more meaning.? I know a lot of people who have seen this film because they are action fans. I'm not. But I'm glad I finally found it, because it's a wonderful film in so many other ways. 哈利波特 Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the eponymous adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his best friends. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world, after which he seeks to subjugate the Muggle (non-magical) world to his rule. 动画喜剧海底总动员 Somewhere, under the sea, weak-finned clown fish Nemo (Alexander Gould) lives with his fretful father, Marlin (Albert Brooks). Smothered by pop's paranoia, he ventures away from the reef, but his dad's dread is justified when a passing diver whisks him away.? Taken to a tank in a Sydney dentists, Nemo meets Gill (Willem Dafoe) and co - friendly fish who dream of escaping to the ocean. Meanwhile, Marlin bumps into a blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), and sets out to save his son...? The splendour of natural history hit The Blue Planet is matched by the wit of the script and stars. Barry Humphries has a terrific cameo as a great white shark who's sworn off killing (Remember, fish are friends, not food!), while DeGeneres provides perfect timing and tone as Dory, whose short-term memory loss is a gag that never stops running? 世界末日 There are so many amazing things in the world.这个世界上有太多不可思议的事情.If tomorrow is the end of the world,what can we do?如果明天是世界末日,我们可以做什么?So now,i think we should keep smile everyday.所以现在,我觉得我们应该每天都微笑.After i finish the movie of "2012The end of the world",I feel very upset about that.我看完“2012世界末日”这电影之后,我感到很悲伤.When I saw the people die in the movie,I thought about if this event will happen to us,will we die very helpless?当我看到人类在这个电影里死了,我想到了如果这件事情发生在我们身上,我们会死得很无助吗?If we have to die,I'll choose the one happy ending,like we

勇敢的心电影观后感600字优秀作文本文为勇敢的心电影观后感600字范文，让我们通过以下的文章来了解。 看第一遍《勇敢的心》的是感动，是惭愧，是对“男人”含义的新悟，觉得自己不应该这么晚才知道去看这部电影。看第二遍的时候，我发现自己活了这么多年算是白活了，我明白了生活的意义，领悟了什么才叫生活的强者!现在这部电影还储藏在我的电脑了，当我感到自己受伤、脆弱、快要支撑不住的时候常拿出翻看，勉励自己继续奋斗! 这部电影最让我震撼的场面就是，当华勒在忍受极刑之痛的时候，面对执邢官再三的忠劝——请求国王的宽恕，可以速死，没有说一句话。最后在忍受刨腹之邢的生命最后时刻，他歇斯底里说了人生的最后一句话——freedom!这句话震惊了民众，也震惊了执邢官，同时也深深震撼了我的内心。至今我都难以忘怀那个场景，在华勒痛苦的最后呐喊中,我明白了信仰的力量，明白了什么是真正的强者。当一个人为了心中的信仰忍受肉刑之痛，视死如归的时候，其实他的心已经硬如磐石，他的躯体已经无坚可摧，他的气魄可以惊天大泣鬼神，吓破山河!这或许就是英雄的力量! 这段历史或许早已被人淡忘，这个英雄或许没人能记起，但是这股精神却浸透在山河大地之中，世代永存!面对这部惊世之作，我掩卷沉思，我不得不拿自己与这位大英雄悄悄
的做个对比，虽然没有可比性。当代的生活没有战争，没有杀戮和压迫，但不能不没有思想，不能不没有信仰。想想那些不思进取、好逸恶劳的酒囊饭袋，看看那些虚度光阴、无痛呻吟的病体，再瞅瞅自己面对生活，怨声载道、悲观脆弱，我感到无地自容，我感觉自己其实就是个行尸走肉!我们的伤我们的痛又算得了什么呢?衣食无忧，一切的安排就是为了学习，然而自己又做了什么，亏待父母就不说了，最重要的愧对自己的生命与灵魂。 这部电影让我读懂了生命的意义，让我看清了人生的得失，让我为曾经挥霍费时光忧伤后悔，我终于发现我应该去做什么，我活着是为了什么，我的信仰在哪里，我的为人之本在哪里，我该怎么去面对我的生活、人生。 后记：其实生活本是很简单，好好活着，从从容容做事，坦坦荡荡做人，结交益友，保持自己的本色，为人生的追求而奋斗! 《勇敢的心》是根据14世纪末发生在苏格兰的真实事件改编的。但是，影片所传达给人的自由之灵魂已经高出这个真实事件的历史意义和现实价值许多，已经不在乎事件的真假，苏格兰的山脉，森林和村庄，凄婉的苏格兰风笛和苏格兰人民在贫困痛苦中发出反抗的凄厉呼号，就已经感受到了真实的生活和历史，苏格兰敷上了自由的气息。 一个健全的国家，必定是由真正存有自由思想的国民组
《死亡诗社》英文影评及观后感
Dead Poets Society Who are you What are you doing What do you want Many of us are losing ourselves because of the reality, frustration, the pressure or the authority. In fact, we are just like a chess, for others have arranged all for you. We spend a lot of time in those things we do not like. However, we are immature. We choose silence or choose to force ourselves to like it. We ourselves never dare to say "NO" loud, or never master our life in our hand. Perhaps, you will defend for yourself, "This is no other way to do "; Perhaps you will say, "Now that everything looks the same, can I be unique "； Perhaps you will say, "This is the reality, and no one can beat it"; perhaps, very likely, you will become one of them and establish the authority of parents to educate your children. You have become a loyal defender of authority. There is an old golden Chinese saying: No one can exist who resists me . However, all in all, cannot it change 《Dead Poets Society》tells me that nothing is impossible. At that time, nothing is more important than yielding. What you have to do is to obey discipline and authority. To Rebel means no good
Tess(苔丝)1979经典电影英文影评
Tess(苔丝)1979 Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland. Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name. Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec. Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish. Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of the land and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully. Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble. 1
