简介： 《交换生阿曼达》根据真实故事改编，剧本由曾参与过《CSI:NY》以及《法律与秩序》的WendyBattles创作。1987年出生的AmandaKnox来自西雅图，是华盛顿大学语言学学生，她作为交换生来到意大利佩鲁贾学习一年的意大利语、德语和写作。她被控于2007年与男友RaffaeleSollecito和好友RudyGuede合谋杀害大学室友，英国人MeredithKercher。该事件引起了美国、英国和意大利媒体的广泛关注。意大利检察官GuilianiMignini把Amanda称之为狡猾的狐狸，形容她是一个纵欲过度、冷血无情的杀人犯，最终经过长达两年的诉讼，三人分别被判处26年、25年和16年监禁。但关于Amanda是否有罪，还是无辜的受害者一直持有争议。目前Amanda本人正在上诉过程中，Amanda的家人和律师都担心该片会对她的上诉产生负面影响，但Lifetime还是按原计划播放了该片。 该片播出后还有一部一小时长的纪录片《BeyondtheHeadlines:AmandaKnox》，透过Amanda父母、朋友、调查人员、检察官和法律学者的角度审视意大利的法律体系 交换生阿曼达电影网友评论：< class="com">大一的时候英语老师放给我们看的两部戏中，bingbang红了，这部却只有一季就被砍了，如果不是因为cougartown中的Travis可能都忘了，不过其实蛮好的嘛，里面还有很多肥肥的草泥马。。 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">抱着很大的期望希望在剧里能看到巴基斯坦(穆斯林)和美国(基督天主教)强烈的文化冲突，但只是简单地掠过，不过，作为一个喜剧，这样的题材算是很有料了 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">《生活大爆炸》和《绝望主妇》都要等到遥远的九月才回归，只能找这些已经被砍了的剧来看了。不过不知道为什么会被砍，这部戏的笑点还蛮有水平的呀~ < class="com">看第一遍，觉得美国高中生如此那么弱智，看第二遍却被感动，可谓一集说了一个人生哲理。可惜第一季就被砍了。 < class="com">第二集下不下来了modernfamily和suits回归了还有别的剧追不寂寞了就先弃了 < class="com">此剧旨在增进美国人对穆斯林的了解,这也是被砍的原因吧~那个外国人是中国人就好了,嘿嘿 < class="com">这是我第一部完完整整看完的美剧，给个五星吧！至少算是我sit-com的启蒙啦~ < class="com">真的是好搞笑的一部片子，最难得的是没有做作的配音笑，只会听到自己发自内心的笑。 < class="com">这个巴基斯坦小孩让我想起betty的外甥justin不知为什么被砍 < class="com">主角是怪胎的电视剧，有点少见。故事很家庭化，于是也很短命。 < class="com">哈哈哈又是明珠台播的记忆比较模糊了对这个，可能不够搞笑？ < class="com">虽然比不上familywar但还不错有清晰资源就更好啦

简介： 主演：MichaelScot导演：DavidWilson语言：英语地区:英国编剧：类型：纪录片上映时间：27Jun2011 别名：奢侈品的历史用户标签：纪录片,BBC,历史,英国,2011,Documentary,BBC纪录片,复古片长：120imdb编号：tt3014582 两集的纪录片针对那些几个世纪以来，令男男女女为之疯狂的奢侈品展开。两集节目的重点分别是古典主义时期和中世纪时期。 第一集：古希腊的纸醉金迷 奢侈品并不只是昂贵优美的物件，并不只是贵族特权阶级的专利。它的作用比我们想象的要大得多，尤其是在古代世界和中世纪世界中尤甚。第一集，我们关注的是从古典时代之初就让古代希腊翻天覆地的奢侈品。雅典，民主时期的开端，奢侈品的地位不容小觑：哪些奢侈品被禁，又有哪些奢侈品得到了大众的接受？肉，团结了民主政治；鱼，却使之分崩离析。有些奢侈品与娇弱，外国佬相联系；有些则与民主的观点相关联。古代斯巴达，严令禁止奢侈品，对这种罪恶的明令禁止最终导致了斯巴达的灭亡...当斯巴达被马其顿帝国所取代，菲利普二世的宫廷则为政治宣传的奢侈品树立了新的标准.... 第二集：中世纪的声色犬马 本集的关注焦点在于：奢侈品与基督教之间，搅得中世纪不得安静的冲突。奢侈品是通往天堂道路的绊脚石，教堂严厉谴责镶金配钻，极尽奢华的中世纪早期武器。然而，教堂的奢侈之处却是：早期的手稿，上面的装饰和成书所需要的大量劳动力无一不显示出教会的穷奢极欲。13世纪盛行的战马和骑士武道会则充斥着基督教的骑士精神和绅士流派。跟欧洲之间不断增长的奢侈品交易再次被教会禁止，比如：来自东方的香料，教会称，火辣的事物会导致激情的行为，犯下奸淫之罪。很快黑死病的到来，却解放了教会对奢侈品的封锁，开创了一个相对奢侈，消费至上的新世界...这个世界延续至今... By夏末秋字幕组 【文：桃夭】 负罪的愉悦电影网友评论：< class="com">古希腊时期雅典奢侈品的管理促进了民主的形成，斯巴达对奢侈品的禁止使其强盛两个世纪甚至几乎统治了希腊地区，也为此后来毁于一旦。罗马时期带过，接着是罗马文明覆灭、野蛮人横行和黑死病的中世纪时期，对奢侈品的欲望一发不可收拾。 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">来个中国版，放盛唐（v佛教v灭佛运动）和晚明（v名教）。在苦修和豪奢的捐建寺庙之间，以及更豪奢的把它们一夕毁掉；家班啊十里红妆之类的v功过格反省日记，真是强烈的对比。 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">还是有很多词不懂什么意思。而且雅典斯巴达马其顿都看了多少遍了，依旧记不清楚。不系统学习的坏处。 < class="com">切入点好奇妙奢侈品能推动一个国家兴盛也能促使一个国家灭亡 < class="com">还不错啦奢侈品这个角度挺有意思的对历史盲也有艺普作用 < class="com">15世紀以前，書籍也是奢侈品哦。我們現在真幸福~！ < class="com">以为是珠宝展，其实是社会生活史啊。有趣 < class="com">對美的追求，就是個墮落的深淵啊！ < class="com">还不错。补历史的课 < class="com">英音！！！！！！ < class="com">这哥们长得不错 < class="com">看不惯这解说员

类型：战争电影
语言：英语
年代：未知
简介： 南北战争爆发后，尼森扮演的南方军官卡弗，带着四个跟班走上了杀人之路，皮尔斯·布鲁斯南饰演的基甸则一路逃窜。双方的战斗从内华达州的洛基雪山开始，一直杀到荒凉的新墨西哥州大沙漠。在这一过程中，卡弗的跟班相继死去，两位主角也被折腾了没有人样……身穿笨重皮衣的基甸窝在雪山上面对火堆取暖，身旁是无精打采的老马和用来保命的来福枪，这哥仨一声不响地倾听着风声，直到卡弗的子弹从基甸的脑袋边上飞过去，才激起了基甸的慌忙逃窜。正当他惊慌失措地向丛林深处跑去时，随后赶到的第二颗子弹还是狠狠钻进了他的左臂。他失去了平衡，踉踉跄跄地从瀑布载了下去……当基甸从刺骨的河水中奋力爬起，用尖刀从血肉中挑出子弹时，一个原始状态下的美国社会，便在这残酷的一幕中表现出来，且向观众抛出了硕大的问号--两人的仇怨因何而起？导演向观众的暗示是：卡弗对基甸的刻骨仇恨，或许正象征了这场内战的爆发根源。王牌对决电影网友评论：< class="com">开头是野外生存指南。连姆大叔雇了4个人冬天荒野追踪皮尔斯，途遇三口之家，3个逃犯，西部筑路群落，摩门教众，守泉人，双方都千辛万苦筋疲力尽，连姆这边人越来越少，剧情也越来越寓言化。最后，这场北军对于南军家庭的灭门之恨，恰如慕容博与萧远山，在化身女药贩的扫地老僧主持下尽归尘土。★★★ < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">为复仇，从落基山脉追杀到新墨西哥州，从五追一到一追一，连姆尼森没能干掉布鲁斯南，悲伤水逆成河，最终惺惺相惜握手搞基。南北战争看太多，有时怀疑，没准我都能拍，全找国人来演，南北为争夺集中供暖权开战。最终南方取得胜利，把黄河以北的锅炉全运到黄河以南，华东地区长三角一带从此过上幸福生活 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">皮尔斯·布鲁斯南和连姆·尼森上演了一场西部复仇故事，然而电影并没有为人物设置或强化出足够曲折和悲惨的经历，以致于反弹力不够，整部电影在趋于平庸中度过。另外，为了吸引观众的注意力，电影选择将复仇起因一直压住直到结尾才解开，虽然对吸引观众有一定作用，但也使得冲突不强。 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">蓝天、高山白雪、篝火和一个正在逃亡的人，我非常喜欢这种调色板下的影片。一声枪响后，追逃开始。比起现代都市警匪追逃片，这部发生在大自然旷野之中的追逃节奏显得较为舒缓，尽可以慢慢欣赏两位男主的精彩表演。最后的收尾很妙，驾着马车的女人出场后，差点把电影拽向奇幻片的方向 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">从冷峻的雪山丛林到荒凉的大沙漠，两个硬汉之间的血腥拼杀绵延不绝，一如他们的仇恨。一场误杀引发的丧失理性的报复，除了搭进更多条性命，还有活着如同死去的生命力的丧失。影片最后，朝向两个不同方向的踽踽独行的背影，似乎浓缩了美国内战后的乱象，也令人唏嘘英雄的消亡…… < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">中规中矩的追击片，西部景色也只是一张画布。同题材的，虎豹小霸王是顶峰，大地惊雷也不错，我记得摩根也演过一部很有特色的追击电影。节奏带的还可以，没有野心，但也没有给高分的理由。最后场景的确很美。在人性的探索上，前面的人并不都能做出经典，比如这一部影片。 < style="text-align:center;"> < class="com">这片子真的白瞎了两大硬汉的世纪对决，给人感觉就是在雪山和西部走两下打两下，完全没有人物刻画和对动机的充分描述，追凶的原因也只是一笔带过。既没有西部片应有的豪爽狂野，也缺少动作片的硬气，导致精心设计的结局愣是没点说服力，导演和编剧都该死。 < class="com">为什么在杀仇人之前都有逼逼一下，然后出各种幺蛾子。不可以杀死仇人，然后对着尸体逼逼吗？谜底揭晓前，同情被追杀的人，看到5个人的人数渐渐减少，为被追杀的人感到高兴。知道谜底后，被追杀的赶紧去死，10000的那种。可怜之人，必有可恨之处。 < class="com">看到这个片名，觉得影片内容和片名好像关系不大。我还是喜欢它的另一个名字：《王牌对决》。除了片尾，其实影片之前的内容还挺精彩的。连姆·尼森+皮尔斯·布鲁斯南，这样的组合本应该相当精彩的，可惜了。把美国西部景色拍得很美。 < class="com">这部电影也是在飞机上看的，比较符合俺的胃口，原因一是因为这两条汉子，二是因为西部。看得出来，布鲁斯南演得也很苦，能媲美10年后的莱昂纳多迪卡普里奥了，连姆尼森演得也够累，结局也让人感觉——白追了！ < class="com">南北战争中北上校死了两个儿子，战后寻仇南上校，误烧死了南上校的妻儿。片中南上校追杀北上校，异常悲惨的两个男人的互相折磨。叙事简单，镜头写实，节奏缓慢，场景从雪山到荒野……结局意味深长。 < class="com">翻出来看老片，话说这片一直没来得及看，在我这应该算新片。中间不乏亮点，拍摄手法很好莱坞，中规中矩的一部片子。布鲁斯南怒扇中国铁路劳工的桥段堪称精华，与本片浓浓的人文情怀印照。
