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.

Rarely does a movie let you forget who you are and become the main character. This is one of those rare movies.
The movie starts out with a story that every Santa believer experienced. On Christmas eve a boy in Grand Rapids Michigan has reached the age where the statistical impossibility in the Santa story ( the size and speed of Santa's sleigh, the north pole being a barren wasteland) are causing him to doubt the big mans existence. Not knowing for sure the boy drifts into a deep sleep. At 11:55 PM the boy is awakened by the arrival of the Polar Express literally outside his front door. Going to investigate what is going on the boy meets the witty conctor of the Christmas eve train. (Tom Hanks)who informs him that the train is headed to the north pole so the kids can meet Santa Clause. Not totally sure that the train is going to the north pole but to curious to let it go the boy climbs on board. The adventure puts the boy in contact with a girl who is a natural born leader and who's belief in the Christmas magic couldn't be stronger. Other characters include a know it all socially awkward boy, a young underprivileged loner who has never experienced the magic of Christmas and a cast of other more mysterious characters such a a hobo ghost. Through the adventure the combination of great music, flawless animation and fantastic dialog really make you believe you are there and let you relive those days when you thought Santa Clause just might exist. The story ends on Christmas day with a line (narrated by Tom Hanks) about belief that brings back those kid on Christmas eve chills all over again. The themes of belief and friendship are a strong theme in the movie and part of the magic that brings you back to a time when you did believe.Its a great movie for children and alts alike and rekindles the Christmas magic that us alts lost many years ago.

If you've ever been poor, this movie may be hard to watch. It depicts poverty in America in gut wrenchingly accurate ways. I've been as poor as Chris Gardner, and, like him, I've been poor among very rich people in the Bay Area while trying to work my way up.
Chris Gardner is a loving father and failing businessman. He is chosen for a competitive internship at Dean Witter, a stock brokerage. The internship, which offers Chris a very long shot at a better life, doesn't pay any salary. Chris has to live without a salary for six months while risking just about everything for that long shot gamble.
Chris is really smart. He can solve a Rubrik's cube in minutes. But, he's poor. Poverty, like an octopus, keeps trying to suck him down to the bottom, and make him stay there.
His car is towed. His wife walks out on him, leaving him with a five year old son. He is arrested for unpaid traffic tickets. He becomes homeless. He has to rely on a homeless shelter.
All this while, he must appear for work in the morning in a suit and tie, and be ready to charm some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the Bay Area. These people take wealth so much for granted that two of them stiff him for cab fare.
Having lived through similar experiences, I cringed throughout this movie. My stomach hurt. I winced. I cried. I hugged my knees to my chest.
The movie is very accurate, but painful to watch. I hope a lot of rich people, who think that they understand poverty, see it.
This movie will be politically controversial. First of all, it doesn't touch the race issue with a ten foot pole. For example, when Chris appears to stiff a taxi driver for fare (it was really the rich white guy who failed to pay), the taxi driver never uses the "n" word. In real life, I think he probably would have.
Is the movie afraid to talk about race, or does it not want to? I don't know, but I know that some will protest the movie's not shoving race in the movie goer's face. I'm not one of those people. The movie's approach to race -- treating it as almost incidental -- worked for me. As a poor white person, I can tell you that poor white people face the same obstacles Chris did.
Second, does the movie sell the message that if you work hard, you will succeed, no matter what, and does that message tell the truth about success in America? I think that the movie is open to interpretation. Some will see it as an indictment of poverty in America. The scene of carefree rich people driving past the line to get into a homeless shelter is pretty devastating. Other people will become angry because they believe that the movie's depiction of hard work leading to rewards, in some cases, is too facile. I disagree, but that's what you'll hear.
Third, is this movie meant to chastise black men who abandon their children? Chris is a role model exactly because he moves heaven and earth to be a good father to his son. This will be debated back and forth.
The movie has a big philosophical statement to make, that has been lost on many reviewers, for example, Richard Schickel in TIME.
Chris is shown running throughout the movie. Remember the title of the movie: "The PURSUIT of Happiness." Chris places emphasis on "pursuit." Jefferson, when he penned the Declaration of Independence, did not promise Americans happiness, but only the right to pursue it. Chris says, at one point in the movie, paraphrase, "I am happy right now. It is a fleeting moment." We experience happiness in eyeblinks. The rest of the time we, like Chris, are chasing after it.

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

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.

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

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 have to cherish what we have now.如果我们一定要死，我会选择一个开心的结局，就好像我们一定要珍惜我们现在拥有的一切！My family and my friends are love me,there are so many people love me!我的家人和我的朋友都很爱我，有很多人都爱我！I should thanks God for gave me so many things.我应该感激上天给我的一切。When the end really came in the world,I will not feel regret!当世界末日真的来临了，我也不会感到遗憾！Beginning at this minute,I'll be happy everyday!从这一分钟开始，我会开心每一天！
英文电影:阿甘正传观后感（中英文对照）
阿甘有自己的坚持，他不断地跑步，JUST RUNS. 他跑步不为任何理由。他说:"人要往前看，千万不要被过去拖累。我想我跑步就是这个意义”和过去告别，不停留在原处。也许这世界上太多人随拨逐流，很少人会坚持做一件事，阿甘坚持自己的坚持，于是他成了“神”。影片中还有一位主要人物是上校丹。他在越南战争中失去了双腿。他说他的命运就是战死。然而阿甘却救他，让他活了下来。失去双腿后他开始憎恨生活，生活得很颓废，责怪阿甘当初救了他。然而当他调整心态，去和阿甘一起捕鱼生活，有了收获后，开始感觉到生活的美好。感谢阿甘当初就了他。影片试图通过这个角色告诉观者生活总是美好的。乌云后有彩虹，绝境后有重生。关键是看我们给不给自己一个好心态，一个机会去改变不好的现状。影片试图向观者传达这样一个信息：或许做好我们该做的每一件事，生活就会给我们一个好的回馈。只要有一种坚持就会出现一个奇迹。
Mr. A Gan has his own perseverance, keeping on running without of any reason, JUST RUNS. He said: “Man has t look forward, and never encumbered by foretime. I thank that's the meaning of my running.” Say goodbye to foretime and don't stay in-place. Although so many people in the world are used to follow others and few people can stick to one thing, Mr. A Gan does and becomes “GOD”. There is another character Captain Dan. Dan lost his legs in Vietnarm War. He said that his fate is death in war. However, Mr. A Gan saved him and let him be alive. After losing legs, Dan was decadent and disgusted with life, complaining that A
Gan shouldn't save him. When he adjusted his mind, living on fishing with A Gan, he started to enjoy the wonderful life and thank A Gan's help. The movie is intended to tell people that life is wonderful by this character. Rainbow is always after cloud. The key point is that whether we have a good mind and an opportunity to ourselves to change bad situation. The movie is also sent such a message to us: do well what we should do, and life will return us well. There will be a miracle if only there is perseverance.

预见未来：
Given the number of attempts, surprisingly few really good movies have been made from the writings of sci-fi visionary Philip K. Dick (BLADE RUNNER, MINORITY REPORT, A SCANNER DARKLY). Most range from merely middling (IMPOSTOR, TOTAL RECALL) to downright awful — remember PAYCHECK? This lazy, incoherent adaptation of Dick's strange short story "The Golden Man," however, just might be the worst. It takes only the central character from the source material — a mutant human who can see several minutes into his own future — and throws away everything that made the story interesting.
Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage), aka Las Vegas clairvoyant "Frank Cadillac," uses his intentionally tacky lounge act to make a living while disguising the fact that he really can see two minutes into his own future. But not everyone in the audience is buying the fake-mentalist act: FBI counterterrorism agent Callie Ferris (a woefully miscast Julianne Moore) knows real "patterns of advanced awareness" when she sees them, and she needs his help on a little job she's been working on: A 10-kiloton WMD has fallen into the hands of a pack of eurotrash terrorists who, for some undisclosed reason, have their hearts set on nuking L.A. Even though she knows Cris' clairvoyance only extends to a couple of minutes into the immediate future, Callie thinks Cris can use his severely limited skill to help her find the device and save eight million lives. He, however, refuses to be treated like a science project and goes on the lam with his new girlfriend, schoolteacher Liz Cooper (Jessica Biel), hotly pursued by both the FBI and the terrorists.
Three big problems plague this misbegotten mess. First, for much of the movie Cris is running from the good guys, who only want to prevent the rest of us from a nuclear holocaust. Secondly, Cage's age-defying look — the uncertain hairline, the dyed eyebrows, the teeth — has reached the point where he's become troubling to look at. Worst of all, director Lee Tamahori repeatedly stages a dramatic event — Cris getting shot in the chest or smashed by a speeding train — only to rewind the action and reveal that the mayhem was nothing more than just one of Cris' premonitions. The first time, it's a legitimate "Gotcha!" When it happens again, it's tremendously irritating. The third time Tamahori hauls this cheap shot out of his near-empty bag of tricks, you'll cease to believe in anything that happens on screen and most likely give up on the movie altogether.

To avert the frightening possibility of another terrorist outrage, read the press notes for sci-fi thriller Next. "It would be most valuable if we could see into the future."
Well, of course it would. Come to think of it, ray guns and superhuman strength might come in handy too, as would the power to leap tall buildings in a single bound. In their absence, Lee Tamahori's shamelessly preposterous film has to make do with Cris Johnson (Cage), a Las Vegas clairvoyant whose bargain-basement act masks a genuine extra-sensory ability to see what will happen to him two minutes ahead of time.
Under the pseudonym Frank Cadillac, Johnson is perfectly happy to exploit his gift to impress gullible tourists and cheat at cards. When his winning streak is noticed by the casino's eagle-eyed security, however, Cris is forced to flee - straight into the hands of Callie Ferris (Moore), an FBI agent on the trail of a shadowy cabal intent on exploding a nuclear bomb in downtown Los Angeles. Jack Bauer being otherwise engaged, this seedy showman is her best chance to avert a catastrophe. Cris, though, has other things on his mind, having fallen for a beautiful young teacher (Biel) he's been having premonitions about for months

Since the spectacle explosion of the 1980s blockbuster action movie, beginning with The Terminator and Die Hard, the genre has run the course of fresh and exciting to cliché and contrived. It seems that masked heroes sporting spandex have replaced muscling heroes with an endless supply of ammunition. These days, it’s a rare occasion to come across an action movie that doesn’t bore your brain and waste your time. Next does both. Perhaps it’s Cris Johnson's (Nicholas Cage) ability to see only two minutes into the future that explains why he doesn’t see the audience’s feelings of betrayal and disappointment coming.
Veiled by a sleazy Las Vegas club act, Johnson’s powers of future perception keep him one step ahead of the world. When he’s not on stage guessing people’s names and performing dime store magic tricks, he spends his days supplementing his income by gambling and waiting in a diner for the love of his life – the only vision he has seen more than two minutes ahead of time. For whatever reason, FBI agent Callie Farris (Julianne Moore) is convinced that Johnson is the real deal and tries to enlist his help in defusing a nuclear bomb threat by French terrorists. But all Johnson wants to do is get to know his lady love, who, eventually walks into the diner right when he knew she would.
Next’s pre-Terminator 2 computer-generated effects are endlessly distracting, but the film’s greatest flaw is that it introces ideas of destiny and determinism and the role (if any) of freewill yet doesn’t explore them. By being able to look into the future, Johnson is able to choose the best possible personal outcome, but as he explains, “every time you look at the future, you change it.” In seeing the future, it’s a given that Johnson will act to preserve his own existence and whatever interests him, which seemingly eliminates freewill.
Taking the loss of freewill idea even further, when Johnson is caught by the FBI and forced to help, his indivial rights are trampled on in favor of the many who could die in a nuclear explosion. It’s funny that the strength of our political system places the power in the indivial and collective “we,” but we are quick to forfeit our rights in service of the “greater good”. It’s a slippery slope that could lead to a unified loss of all indivial rights to preserve our own lives.
Unfortunately, these are topics that the movie barely mentions. It’s more concerned with fancy future fast-forwarding effects and twisting what happens next. The problem is that when the major dramatic twist happens, there is no thematic substance to hold onto and you suddenly realize that you’ve just wasted 2 hours and $10+ on a gimmick. Had the move delved into some sort of subtext and offered something in the way of thematic substance, then the deal-breaker twist wouldn’t be so empty. Instead, Next is a great example of an action movie light show – quick, meaningless and not worth remembering.
4What if you could see two minutes into the future? Would you use your powers for good or would you make a killing in Vegas? You probably would avoid a few embarrassing moments, but how much can a couple of extra minutes really get you? If you believe Next, the new movie starring Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore and the increasingly-hot Jessica Biel, a power like that would mostly just be a pain in the ass. Cage plays Cris Johnson, a Las Vegas showroom magician who didn't do a very good job of keeping his superpower secret and underwent examinations as a child to figure out just what was wrong with the weird kid. Cris actually does live in Vegas, making a small living with his power, although not drawing too much attention to it. It's only when the world needs him, when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles, that Cris goes from gambling with his cash to gambling with the fate of humanity. But is the latest in a long line of Nicolas Cage movies that didn't screen for critics what's really "next" or will it be closer to "last" when you list your favorite movies of 2007?
It will probably be somewhere in the middle. The first startling thing about Next is that there's absolutely no explainable reason that it's been kept from critics. Sure, this trip to Vegas with Cage isn't quite like when he won an Oscar for trying to leave the city of sin, but it's also far more enjoyable than most of the action movies that actually have screened for critics. Yes, it's completely and totally ridiculous, but there's a spirit and an energy in Next, very much propelled by the cast and the action chops of Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day), that's missing from most movies. By the end of Next, which features a twist that is so ridiculous that you almost have to be impressed that it even got filmed, you'll likely have suspended disbelief and gone along for the ride. You should be warned that the ending will definitely leave some moviegoers feeling cheated, but in an era of predictable movies, it's kind of impressive to see something so completely shocking in the final reel.
变形金刚2
so far in the year 2009, only one film truly kept me at the end of my seat and that was Star Trek. Terminator Salavtion was a close second (which you people aka worstpreviews staff ripped apart for some ridiculous reason) but now here comes the film I personally thought would be THE blockbuster of 2009 and thought you guys would love. I read your review and thought what a great to say absolutely nothing about it. You rip Michael Bay apart for making a film to smash robots nto one another. Listen you guys used to be a healthy alternative to the horrible critics who only like artsy films such as Slumdog Millionaire and rip apart good movies such as Transformers. So worstpreviews, way to drop the ball on a great movie.
Onto my review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, hits all the right notes. To the amazing CG and perfect fight scenes, to the just right amount of dialogue and comedic relief, Bay creates a masterpiece that rivals the original. The highlight was definately the fight scene in the woods with Optimus owning the Decepticons. Only low point was Sam's roommate who was a little annoying. So users of Worstpreviews, listen to me when I say that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is nothing shy of EPIC. And again a big FAIL to the staff, how about you take a movie for what it is and not try to make every movie be like what YOU want.

It’s no secret that I LOVE Transformers. I grew up playing with the toys as a kid. Aside from the Star Wars prequels I’ve never looked forward to a movie as much as I did for the first Transformers a couple of years ago… and I LOVED the first movie (weaknesses and all). So it’s no surprise that Transfomers 2 (aka Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) has been my #1 most anticipated movie of the year.
The other night I had a chance to go and see it in IMAX here in Los Angeles and I can tell you this right up front. This movie is bigger than the last one, has more action than the last one, has better effects than the last one but over all is not as good as the last one. As one friend of mine wrote to me “It’s more spectacular than the first one… but not as good”.
My dear heavens I never would have thought that the effects in Transformers could be outdone… but Transformers 2 did it. The Autobots and Decepticons look far more real and awe inspiring than they did in the first one. They become especially impressive when you see them interacting with real world actors and sets. It’s so hard to believe that these gigantic warriors aren’t real. Exactly what Transformers fans wanted.
The action. Holy sweet nuts cakes the action! This movie just goes and goes and goes. The movie OPENS with a HUGE scale action sequence that just makes your jaw hit the floor in amazement. “This is what they’re STARTING the movie with?!?!” went through my head a couple of times in the first 60 seconds. So many more action sequences and battles than the first one. Exactly what Transformers fans wanted.
There is A LOT more screen time for the Autobots and Decepticons than in the first film (something that a bigger budget allowed for I guess). We even get to see a much longer Megatron/Starscream squabble which is something painfully missing from the first movie. Exactly what Transformers fans wanted.
There is a much deeper history revealed about the Transformers in this flick that I thought added some much needed richness to the whole mythology of the Cybertonian race. We learn more about “The Primes” (a certain leadership sect within the Transformers of which Optimus is obviously a direct descendant of). We learn more about Energon (no, we don’t get to see “Energon Cubes” unfortunately) and the history of the Transformers on earth as well as the grander plans (evil ones… n n uuunnnhhhh) the decepticons have for Earth. Exactly what Transformers fans wanted.
Yes, it seems Transformers 2 takes all the good things about the first movie and builds on them. Exactly what Transformers fans wanted. BUT… they unfortunately also built on all the first movie’s weaknesses and put them on steroids, which leads us too…

pearl harbour film review
Pearl Harbor consists of three incongruous acts, mashed together into an ungainly whole. It appears to be more interested in reprocing the success of Titanic, which also set a fictional love story amidst a tragic historical event, than it is in telling the story of the men and women who fought and died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Titanic worked because the central characters were interesting, the story was cohesive, the historical events were handled respectfully and with the proper dramatic tone, and underneath it all was an intelligent reflection on the human failings that permitted such a tragedy in the first place.
Pearl Harbor reces the historical backdrop into a series of action set pieces. Instead of exploring ideas inherent in the events, it extracts them, recing the reason for Japan's attack to something inexplicable at best, and having utterly nothing to say about why the attack happened, how it was carried out, or how we responded. The film is dedicated to the men who died at Pearl Harbor, but what does it dedicate to them? It does not seem very interested in them except as a tool for dramatic imagery. Consider, for example, a scene in which we learn that men are trapped in a sunken ship in the harbor. We learn this to emphasize the brutality of the attack, as if such emphasis were needed. Then the film forgets this point entirely, providing the fates of those men in a narrated line just before the closing credits. Why wasn't the third act of the film about those men, instead of a rushed covering of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, complete with overblown crash landings and an improbable engagement with Japanese soldiers?
If you want to see a real movie about Pearl Harbor or the Doolittle Raid, one that paints a deep and accurate picture of what it was like, one you can learn from, one that pays tribute to our veterans, or even just one that functions as convincing entertainment, there is no shortage of options. Tora! Tora! Tora! chronicles the events before, ring, and after the attack from both the American and Japanese sides. Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo is as thorough a chronicle of the Doolittle Raid as is probably possible in a feature film, while also following the personal stories of a few indivials involved (any one of which is more interesting than the personal story in Pearl Harbor). The Purple Heart, one of the most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen, tells the story of Americans captured by the Japanese after the raid.
Writing off the historical aspects of the film, I am left with the love triangle that makes up the entire first act and pervades the rest of it. It is wholly uninteresting. This same story has been told better, countless times before. Not one of the three characters is fleshed out into an indivial: they are bland stereotypes, dolled up to look pretty and given trite lines that they recite to convey the illusion of genuine emotion. It's telling that it doesn't much matter to us how the love triangle is resolved. Unless they both die, she'll get one of them, and who cares which? Neither of the men are personable, and we surely suspect early on that her decision will be based more on fate than her own volition anyway. (In plots like this, it's survival of the survivors.) And so, alas, we are denied even the most basic of all elements of storytelling, namely, characters making actual decisions

Brave Heart 《勇敢的心》 励志类电影 (借来)
It is about the war between England and Scotland.
But in the movie, the most important thing is not fighting. It is the pursuit of freedom that attract me most. In the age mentioned in the movie, England ruled Scotland in a cruel way. People in Scotland rebelled.
Wallace, leader of the rebellion, was a real hero. He fought bravely with his soldiers, for neither wealth nor power. What they want the most is that they could live a free life.
After long-time fighting, the rebellion was beaten down and Wallace was arrested. The ruler gave hime a last chance to confess and promised him if he did so, he might not be sentenced.
But what's Wallace's choice. At the last of his life, he abandoned the chance to survive and cried out, 'freedom'. This was the word that all people in Scotland wanted to say.
This movie tells us that there is something named freedom which is more important than life.
