这个杀手不太冷
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.

穿条纹睡衣的男孩 The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

讲二战纳粹的，拍的很不错，有深度有内容，老实说我觉得这部电影就算讲一节大课都说不完的

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/伊万里）帝都大学理工学院物理学专业第十三研究室的准教授汤川学（福山雅治 饰），智商过人外表英俊，还有个“伽利略”的外号。他常受贝冢北署的刑警内海薰（柴崎幸 饰）之托，运用科学理论解决各种看似超自然现象的疑案。 某天，贝冢北署管辖范围内发现一具男尸，这是一起杀人案件，被害者死亡时间被推定为12月2日下午6点到10点之间。搜查课的内海，以及内海的前辈弓削志郎（品川佑 饰），还有警视厅总署的草剃俊平（北村一辉 饰），三人一起负责调查这起案件。 被害者全身赤裸，未携带任何身份证明，指纹被烧毁，脸部遭受钝器打击而毁容。 经过一系列调查，警方很快确认了死者的身份——富樫慎二（长冢圭史 饰），39岁，失职中，家住川崎市幸区，无经济能力，连房租都支付不起，一个月前开始辗转于多家简易旅馆。死亡前，富樫在蒲田的扇屋旅馆投宿，不久就带着房间钥匙失踪了。警方在旅馆的房间中，采集到头发的DNA，并在尸体发现现场不远处一辆被盗的自行车上收集到指纹，这两样东西已被确认属于被害者富樫慎二。死者的死亡原因是颈部受压迫窒息身亡，根据留在颈部的痕迹来看，凶器极有可能是取暖桌的电线。 在调查富樫隔个人档案的过程中，警方发现他有一个前妻，名叫花冈靖子（松雪泰子 饰），内海与草剃立即上门拜访了她。靖子带着与富樫生下的女儿美里（金泽美穗 饰）一起住在江东区的一家公寓中。美里目前初中在读，靖子曾在锦糸町做陪酒女郎，但现在在日本桥浜町开了一家便当店。面对警察，靖子称完全不知前夫被害的事，同时她与女儿还有被害者死亡当天的不在场证明。这时，住在花冈隔壁的石神哲哉（堤真一 饰）恰巧出门，与内海他们打了个照面。内海立即上前向他出示富樫的照片，并询问12月2日晚是否听到隔壁花冈家中有异常的动静。石神一边回答着，一边取出信箱中的邮件。内海看到那封邮件上清楚地印有“帝都大学”字样，难道说这个石神与汤川、草剃他们一样，都是帝都大学的毕业生。 于是，内海与草剃再度走访了帝都大学的“伽利略”，希望能得到汤川的帮助。但是，汤川以“这个案件与科学理论没有任何关系”而拒绝参与，不过，后来听说案件的嫌疑人之一靖子是个大美人之后，汤川开始对这个案子产生了兴趣。在听完内海与草剃对靖子不在场证明的陈述后，汤川笑着说“你们这次遇上相当厉害的强敌了”，所以“要加油哦”！ 在内海他们即将离开帝都大学的时候，草剃跟汤川提起了靖子的邻居——石神哲哉的事，汤川的脸色立刻大变，“据我所知，石神是这个世界上真正的‘天才’”。 几天后，汤川找到了石神，这是两位帝都大学的天才时隔17年后再次相见。 二人坐在石神的公寓里喝着威士忌，谈论着为何石神甘愿在一所普通高中做数学老师，以及大学时代的两人一起登山后发生的事等等。又过了几天，汤川带着从大学数学系借来的最新报告又来找石神，他希望石神能验证“报告中的推论是否是正确的”，石神回答“可能会花点时间”，便立即趴在桌子上演算了起来，坐在一旁的汤川看着埋头于数学公式的石神，不知不觉地睡着了。 第二天早上，隔壁靖子上班时的关门声，令汤川从睡梦中醒了过来。石神呆看着靖子房间的方向。“还在演算吗？”汤川说了这样一句，石神转过头来，开始论述自己的推论。汤川看着眼前的这个天才，露出“这我就放心”了的神情。这时，已经到了石神上班的时间，汤川决定与石神一起走到学校，再自行回家。 一同走向车站的过程中，汤川从石神那里听说了一些关于靖子母女俩的事，“平时碰上了就打个招呼。每天早上我都会去她工作的便当店买便当，大体上也就只有那个时候才会见面”，石神静静地形容他与邻居之间的关系。“真可惜啊，她可是个大美人啊，你说对吧？”面对汤川的这个问题，石神沉默不语。但是，俩人即将分别的时候，石神突然冒出一句：“真是羡慕你啊，现在看起来还是这么地年轻”。在汤川的印象中，石神是一个对数学以外的事没有任何兴趣的家伙，他为何会突然在意起自己的外表呢，汤川似乎感觉到了什么。 另一方面，警方将花冈靖子作为富樫案件的第一嫌疑人展开全面搜查，但是，他们在靖子完美的不在场证明中，始终找不出任何疑点，富樫案件的搜查工作陷入了僵局……就在这时，汤川主动联系内海，提出去案发现场看一下的要求。另外，汤川还小声告诉内海他们，警方目前正被犯人兜着转大圈，案件发生后所有的这一切都在犯人的掌控之中，但是，犯人为什么要这样做，汤川还没有理出头绪。 面对靖子完美的不在场证明，汤川无法找出真相，就在他死心的时候，一件意外事情的发生，令整个谜团出现了解决的可能性。然而，汤川越是接近真相，就越是感觉痛苦。与以往汤川协助内海破案不同的是，汤川很想向内海隐瞒案件的核心，因此他陷入了深深的苦恼中。 真正的犯人究竟是谁？ 这个案件与汤川唯一承认的天才石神有着很大关系吗？ 当汤川推理出整个案件的全貌时，他采取了怎样的行动呢？

罗马假日
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.
