這個殺手不太冷
Leon- The Professional
I always love to appreciate themovies that people have thought great and classic. My Friends have told meseveral times that 『Leon - The Professional』is their best. When I watched it myself, I ultimately understood my friends』feeling. Firstly I must declare that I was infected by my dear friend, he lovesLuc Besson because of his wonderful movies directed by him. Such as Wasabi andArthur and the Invisibles.
The story tells us that
This is a wonderful film. The story,which at first glance is corny and silly, actually becomes gripping andemotional in the hands of the skilled Jean Reno and that little girl. Thecharacters are sympathetic and cute, and one is touched by the depth of therelationship between Leon and Mathilda. The character of their enmy, NormanStansfield, is scary and insane, every time I saw him in the screen, I alwaysfelt hair stands on end.
There is real danger and dramathroughout the film, yet it never becomes merely an action film - the charactersare too significant for that. The relationship between Leon and Natalie is thetheme of this film. Every fight is the surroundings of their life story. Besson,as always, both makes the film look beautiful and builds plenty of atmospheresinto it. He is clever at directing the figures and the psychology. Nobody canmake more success than him, that』s why I appreciate him.
The deeply impression that the film gave me isLeon and his green plant,because his favorite plant can representhis soul, peaceful and calm. It also represent he loved his life. So whenMathilda entered his world, she took care of it as he loved,
The film made a different view thatLeon is professional hitman, but not a bad person, however, the cop is a badegg. These characters made us think more than the theme of this film.
This film was absolutely amazing. Ihave spent hours re-watching various scenes. I saw a killer and a child arechanged forever by each other in my mind.
Thisfilm was absolutely amazing. I have spent hours re-watching various scenes andnoticing all the perfection with which they are acted and directed. It's notthe violence or action sequences that make this movie so great (although theyare well done...), but rather moments like where Mathilda knocks on Leon'sdoor. It would be so easy to just film the door opening, but instead we seelight illuminating Natalie Portman's face, symbolizing something angelic. Andthe moment has so much more meaning.
Iknow a lot of people who have seen this film because they are action fans. I'mnot. But I'm glad I finally found it, because it's a wonderful film in so manyother ways.
Ican remember clearly the beginning of the film was that Leon was doing his job.He was cool and calm all the time .He said 「no women ,no kids .」He killedpersons for money but he never killed women or kids . I show my respect for him.When the girl said 「Leon ,how cool ,you are acleaner.」,Leon thought nothing of it .As a hit man ,he lived a pressful lifealso without love and friends .He regarded the plant he kept as his best friend.He thought it was quiet all the time and needed little care .it is a wonderfulfilm. The story, which at first glance is corny and silly, actually becomesgripping and emotional in the hands of the skilled Jean Reno and that littlegirl. The characters are sympathetic and cute, and one is touched by the depthof the relationship between Leon and Mathilda. The character of their enmy,Norman Stansfield, is scary and insane, every time I saw him in the screen, Ialways felt hair stands on end.
There is real danger and drama throughoutthe film, yet it never becomes merely an action film - the characters are toosignificant for that. The relationship between Leon and Natalie is the theme ofthis film. Every fight is the surroundings of their life story. Besson, asalways, both makes the film look beautiful and builds plenty of atmospheresinto it. He is clever at directing the figures and the psychology. Nobody canmake more success than him, that』s why I appreciate him. Although "TheProfessional" bathes in grit and was shot in the scuzziest locations NewYork has to offer, it's a romantic fantasy, not a realistic crime picture.Besson's visual approach gives it a European look; he finds Paris in Manhattan.That air of slight displacement helps it get away with various improbabilities,as when Matilda teaches Leon to read (in a few days, apparently), or when Leonis able to foresee the movements of his enemies with almost psychic accuracy.
The deeply impression that the film gave meis Leon and his green plant, because his favorite plant can represent his soul,peaceful and calm. It also represent he loved his life. So when Mathildaentered his world, she took care of it as he loved.He loved the plant so muchthat even when in danger he did not gave it up.The plant is full of life andreminds one of hope .Leon ,as a hit man ,lived a hard life, which seemed thatthere is no light in his life .But there was light deep in Leon』s heart.Ifthere was not, he would not save Mathilda,protect her and even die for her .
Thefilm made a different view that Leon is professional hitman, but not a badperson, however, the cop is a bad egg. These characters made us think more thanthe theme of this film.
Inthe end of the film ,when Mathilda kept Leon』s plant in the earth,I think itmeans a new beginning of her life ,a life full of hope and light just like thegreen plant.

穿條紋睡衣的男孩 The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
講二戰納粹的,拍的很不錯,有深度有內容,老實說我覺得這部電影就算講一節大課都說不完的
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the United States) is a 2008 British film based on the novel of the same name by Irish writer John Boyne. Directed by Mark Herman and proced by David Heyman, it stars Asa Butterfield, Jack Scanlon, David Thewlis, and Vera Farmiga.
A Holocaust drama, the film explores the horror of a World War II extermination camp through the eyes of two eight-year-old boys, one the son of the camp's Nazi commandant, the other a Jewish inmate.
SS officer Ralf (David Thewlis) and his wife Elsa (Vera Farmiga) move from Berlin to the countryside with their children, twelve-year-old Gretel (Amber Beattie) and eight-year-old Bruno (Asa Butterfield), after Ralf is promoted to commandant of a Nazi concentration camp, of which Bruno refers to as "Out-With", although later in the movie his sister keeps protesting that his pronounciation is incorrect, which brings us to the conclusion that the camp is probably Auschwitz.
Confined to the grounds of the family's new home, without friends, Bruno craves companionship and adventure. He eventually escapes through the window of an outhouse, treks through the woods, and emerges at an isolated, unguarded corner of the concentration camp, which he initially believes to be a farm. There, he befriends Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a boy of the same age. Bruno returns frequently thereafter, bringing Shmuel food and playing games with him through the barbed wire fence. Shmuel graally disabuses Bruno of the idea that the people in the camp are farmers; he tells Bruno that he and his family have been imprisoned, and forced to wear the "striped pajamas," because they are Jews.
Bruno and Gretel's tutor, Herr Liszt (Jim Norton) feeds the children a diet of antisemitic bigotry and nationalist propaganda under the guise of teaching them history. In response, Gretel becomes increasingly fanatical in her support for the Third Reich. She covers her bedroom wall with Nazi propaganda posters, and flirts with Lieutenant Kurt Kotler (Rupert Friend), a mean and nasty Nazi unlike Ralf, as her budding sexuality becomes fixated on the ideal of the German soldier. In contrast, Bruno is skeptical of Liszt's teachings. The Jews Bruno knows, Shmuel and the family's kindly servant Pavel (David Hayman), do not resemble the tutor's antisemitic stereotypes. He also witnesses savage, senseless acts of Nazi brutality that conflict with the propaganda ideal of military heroism. One night, when Pavel accidentally overturns Kotler's wine glass at the table, the furious officer drags Pavel out of the room. Through the ajar door to the kitchen, we see Kotler's jackboot delivering vicious kicks, and are led to presume that the elderly man dies from the brutal beating.
After Pavel's death, Shmuel is sent to the commandant's home in the role of a houseboy. When Bruno comes across the hungry boy cleaning glasses in the house, he gives him some cake. When Kotler sees crumbs on Shmuel's lips, and accuses him of stealing, Shmuel tells the officer the truth: Bruno is his friend, and Bruno gave him the cake. Terrified, Bruno betrays Shmuel, saying that he has never seen the boy before and that Shmuel stole the cake. Some days later, a remorseful Bruno finds Shmuel at the fence, with his eye badly beaten. Shmuel forgives Bruno, and the boys shake hands through the fence.
From a comment of Kotler's about the stench from the crematoriums, Elsa learns that Ralf presides over an extermination camp, not a labor camp as she has been led to believe. Thereafter, the couple argue repeatedly about Ralf's role at the camp and the children's proximity to it. Eventually, they decide that Elsa will take the children to their Aunt Lotte's in Heidelberg. But the day before Bruno is e to leave, Shmuel reveals that his father has gone missing in the camp. Seeing an ideal opportunity for a final adventure, Bruno digs a hole beneath the barbed wire the following morning, changes into prison clothing that Shmuel has stolen for him, and enters the camp to help Shmuel find his father. Inside, Bruno is horrified by the dehumanization, starvation, and sickness; the camp is the very antithesis of the Theresienstadt-esque propaganda film that had shaped his prior impressions.
As the boys search fruitlessly for Shmuel's father, they become intertwined with a group of prisoners who are being herded toward the gas chambers. Inside, everyone is instructed to undress for a "shower." A soldier wearing a gas mask pours Zyklon B granules into the chamber. Bruno and Shmuel grasp each other's hands tightly as the lights go out.
Back at the house, Elsa discovers that Bruno is missing, and raises the alarm. Using tracking dogs, Ralf and other soldiers follow the boy's trail through the woods. When they discover his discarded clothing at the camp's perimeter, and see the hole g beneath the fence, Ralf races inside, searching desperately for his son. Seeing the gas chamber doors locked, Ralf realizes what has happened and cries out in anguish; hearing him, Elsa and Gretel fall to their knees sobbing over Bruno's clothes. The family is left to face the tragic irony that Bruno has become a victim of the Nazi death camp run by his own father.

(文/伊萬里)帝都大學理工學院物理學專業第十三研究室的准教授湯川學(福山雅治 飾),智商過人外表英俊,還有個「伽利略」的外號。他常受貝冢北署的刑警內海薰(柴崎幸 飾)之託,運用科學理論解決各種看似超自然現象的疑案。 某天,貝冢北署管轄范圍內發現一具男屍,這是一起殺人案件,被害者死亡時間被推定為12月2日下午6點到10點之間。搜查課的內海,以及內海的前輩弓削志郎(品川佑 飾),還有警視廳總署的草剃俊平(北村一輝 飾),三人一起負責調查這起案件。 被害者全身赤裸,未攜帶任何身份證明,指紋被燒毀,臉部遭受鈍器打擊而毀容。 經過一系列調查,警方很快確認了死者的身份——富樫慎二(長冢圭史 飾),39歲,失職中,家住川崎市幸區,無經濟能力,連房租都支付不起,一個月前開始輾轉於多家簡易旅館。死亡前,富樫在蒲田的扇屋旅館投宿,不久就帶著房間鑰匙失蹤了。警方在旅館的房間中,採集到頭發的DNA,並在屍體發現現場不遠處一輛被盜的自行車上收集到指紋,這兩樣東西已被確認屬於被害者富樫慎二。死者的死亡原因是頸部受壓迫窒息身亡,根據留在頸部的痕跡來看,凶器極有可能是取暖桌的電線。 在調查富樫隔個人檔案的過程中,警方發現他有一個前妻,名叫花岡靖子(松雪泰子 飾),內海與草剃立即上門拜訪了她。靖子帶著與富樫生下的女兒美里(金澤美穗 飾)一起住在江東區的一家公寓中。美里目前初中在讀,靖子曾在錦糸町做陪酒女郎,但現在在日本橋浜町開了一家便當店。面對警察,靖子稱完全不知前夫被害的事,同時她與女兒還有被害者死亡當天的不在場證明。這時,住在花岡隔壁的石神哲哉(堤真一 飾)恰巧出門,與內海他們打了個照面。內海立即上前向他出示富樫的照片,並詢問12月2日晚是否聽到隔壁花岡家中有異常的動靜。石神一邊回答著,一邊取出信箱中的郵件。內海看到那封郵件上清楚地印有「帝都大學」字樣,難道說這個石神與湯川、草剃他們一樣,都是帝都大學的畢業生。 於是,內海與草剃再度走訪了帝都大學的「伽利略」,希望能得到湯川的幫助。但是,湯川以「這個案件與科學理論沒有任何關系」而拒絕參與,不過,後來聽說案件的嫌疑人之一靖子是個大美人之後,湯川開始對這個案子產生了興趣。在聽完內海與草剃對靖子不在場證明的陳述後,湯川笑著說「你們這次遇上相當厲害的強敵了」,所以「要加油哦」! 在內海他們即將離開帝都大學的時候,草剃跟湯川提起了靖子的鄰居——石神哲哉的事,湯川的臉色立刻大變,「據我所知,石神是這個世界上真正的『天才』」。 幾天後,湯川找到了石神,這是兩位帝都大學的天才時隔17年後再次相見。 二人坐在石神的公寓里喝著威士忌,談論著為何石神甘願在一所普通高中做數學老師,以及大學時代的兩人一起登山後發生的事等等。又過了幾天,湯川帶著從大學數學系借來的最新報告又來找石神,他希望石神能驗證「報告中的推論是否是正確的」,石神回答「可能會花點時間」,便立即趴在桌子上演算了起來,坐在一旁的湯川看著埋頭於數學公式的石神,不知不覺地睡著了。 第二天早上,隔壁靖子上班時的關門聲,令湯川從睡夢中醒了過來。石神呆看著靖子房間的方向。「還在演算嗎?」湯川說了這樣一句,石神轉過頭來,開始論述自己的推論。湯川看著眼前的這個天才,露出「這我就放心」了的神情。這時,已經到了石神上班的時間,湯川決定與石神一起走到學校,再自行回家。 一同走向車站的過程中,湯川從石神那裡聽說了一些關於靖子母女倆的事,「平時碰上了就打個招呼。每天早上我都會去她工作的便當店買便當,大體上也就只有那個時候才會見面」,石神靜靜地形容他與鄰居之間的關系。「真可惜啊,她可是個大美人啊,你說對吧?」面對湯川的這個問題,石神沉默不語。但是,倆人即將分別的時候,石神突然冒出一句:「真是羨慕你啊,現在看起來還是這么地年輕」。在湯川的印象中,石神是一個對數學以外的事沒有任何興趣的傢伙,他為何會突然在意起自己的外表呢,湯川似乎感覺到了什麼。 另一方面,警方將花岡靖子作為富樫案件的第一嫌疑人展開全面搜查,但是,他們在靖子完美的不在場證明中,始終找不出任何疑點,富樫案件的搜查工作陷入了僵局……就在這時,湯川主動聯系內海,提出去案發現場看一下的要求。另外,湯川還小聲告訴內海他們,警方目前正被犯人兜著轉大圈,案件發生後所有的這一切都在犯人的掌控之中,但是,犯人為什麼要這樣做,湯川還沒有理出頭緒。 面對靖子完美的不在場證明,湯川無法找出真相,就在他死心的時候,一件意外事情的發生,令整個謎團出現了解決的可能性。然而,湯川越是接近真相,就越是感覺痛苦。與以往湯川協助內海破案不同的是,湯川很想向內海隱瞞案件的核心,因此他陷入了深深的苦惱中。 真正的犯人究竟是誰? 這個案件與湯川唯一承認的天才石神有著很大關系嗎? 當湯川推理出整個案件的全貌時,他採取了怎樣的行動呢?

羅馬假日
Roman Holiday
Roman Holiday (1953) is a delightful, captivating fairy-tale romance shot entirely on location in Rome, and proced and directed by one of Hollywood's most skillful, distinguished, professional and eminent directors - William Wyler.
The film's bittersweet story is a charming romantic-comedy, a kind of Cinderella tale in reverse (with an April-October romance). A runaway princess (Hepburn) rebels against her royal obligations and escapes the insulated confines of her royal prison to find a 'Prince Charming' commoner - an American reporter (Peck) covering the royal tour in Rome. The story was reportedly based on the real-life Italian adventures of British Princess Margaret.
Wyler was known for other great films including Dodsworth (1936), Jezebel (1938), Wuthering Heights (1939), The Letter (1940), Mrs. Miniver (1942), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), The Heiress (1949), Friendly Persuasion (1956), Ben-Hur (1959) and Funny Girl (1968). Wyler's well-crafted, stylish films that cover a wide range of film genres (family dramas, westerns, epics, romantic comedies, and even one musical) always included down-to-earth characters in real-life situations.
The film received a phenomenal ten Academy Award nominations for a comedy. It won a Best Actress Oscar for its under-experienced British (Belgium-born) actress named Audrey Hepburn - it was her first American film, although she had previously appeared in six European movies and on Broadway in an adaptation of Colette's Gigi. Another of the film's three Oscar awards, the one for Best Original Story was given to Ian McLellan Hunter. In 1992, a posthumous Oscar was properly credited and given to blacklisted Hollywood Ten author Dalton Trumbo, who actually wrote the screenplay. The third Oscar it received was for Best B/W Costume Design (Edith Head). The other seven nominations included: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Eddie Albert), Best Director, Best Screenplay (Ian McClellan Hunter and John Dighton), Best B/W Cinematography, Best B/W Art Direction/Set Decoration, and Best Film Editing.
