The last time Britain was a major force in world cinema was in the 1960s; a documentary of a few years back on the subject was entitled 'Hollywood UK'. This was the era of the Kitchen Sink, social realism, angry young men; above all, the theatrical. And yet, ironically, the best British films of the decade were made by two Americans, Richard Lester and Joseph Losey, who largely stayed clear of the period's more typical subject matter, which, like all attempts at greater realism, now seems curiously archaic.'King and Country', though, seems to be the Losey film that tries to belong to its era. Like 'Look Back in Anger' and 'A Taste of Honey', it is based on a play, and often seems cumbersomely theatrical. Like 'Loneliness of the long distance runner', its hero is an exploited, reluctantly transgressive working class lad played by Tom Courtenay. Like (the admittedly brilliant) 'Charge of the Light Brigade', it is a horrified, near-farcical (though humourless) look at the horrors of war, most particularly its gaping class injustices.Private Hamp is a young volunteer soldier at Pachendaele, having served three years at the front, who is court-martialled for desertion. Increasingly terrorised by the inhuman pointlessness of trench warfare, the speedy, grisly, violent deaths of his comrades and the medieval, rat-infested conditions of his trench, he claims to have emerged dazed from one gruesome attack and decided to walk home, to England. He is defended by the archetypal British officer, Captain Hargreaves, who professes disdain for the man's cowardice, but must do his duty. He attempts to spin a defence on the grounds of madness, but the upper-crust officers have heard it all before.This is a very nice, duly horrifying, liberal-handwringing, middle-class play. It panders to all the cliches of the Great War - the disgraceful working-class massacre, while the officers sup whiskey (Haig!) - figured in some charmingly obvious symbolism: Hargreaves throwing a dying cigarette in the mud; Hamp hysterically playing blind man's buff.The sets are picturesquely grim, medieval, a modern inferno, as these men lie trapped in a never-ending, subterranean labyrinth, lit by hellish fires, with rats for company and the constant sound of shells and gunfire reminding them of the outside world.The play, in a very middle-class way, is not really about the working class at all - Hamp is more of a symbol, an essence, lying in the dark, desolately playing his harmonica, a note of humanity in a score of inhumanity. He doesn't develop as a character. The play is really about Hargreaves, his realisation of the shabby inadequacy of notions like duty. He develops. This realisation sends him to drink (tastier than dying!). Like his prole subordinates, he falls in the mud, just as Hamp is said to have done; he even says to his superior 'We are all murderers'.This is all very effective, if not much of a development of RC Sherriff's creaky 'Journey's End', filmed by James Whale in 1930. Its earnestness and verbosity may seem a little stilted in the age of 'Paths of Glory' and 'Dr. Strangelove'; we may feel that 'Blackadder goes forth' is a truer representation of the Great War. But what I have described is not the film Losey has made. He is too sophisticated and canny an intellectual for that.The film opens with a lingering pan over one of those monumental War memorials you see all over Britain (and presumably Europe), as if to say Losey is going to question the received ideas of this statue, the human cost. But what he's really questioning is this play, and its woeful inadequacy to represent the manifold complexities of the War.This is Brechtian filmmaking at its most subtle. We are constantly made aware of the artifice of the film, the theatrical - the stilted dialogue is spoken with deliberate stiffness; theatrical rituals are emphasised (the initial interrogation; the court scene, where actors literally tread the boards, enunciating the predictable speeches; the mirror-play put on by the hysterical soldiers and the rats; the religious ceremony; the horrible farce of the execution). Proscenium arches are made prominent, audiences observe events.This is a play that would seek to contain, humanise, explain the Great War. This is a hopeless task, as Losey's provisional apparatus explains, 'real' photographs of harrowing detritus fading from the screen as if even these are not enough to convey the War, never mind a well-made, bourgeois play. Losey's vision may be apocalyptic - it questions the possibility of representation at all - the various tags of poetry quoted make no impact on hard men men who rattled them off when young; the Shakespearean duality of 'noble' drama commented on by 'low' comedy, effects no transcendence, no greater insight.Losey's camerawork and composition repeatedly breaks our involvement with the drama, any wish we might have for manly sentimentality; in one remarkable scene an officer takes an Aubrey Beardsley book from the cameraman! This idea of the theatrical evidently mirrors the rigid class 'roles' played by the main characters (Hamp's father and grandfather were cobblers too; presumably Hargreaves' were always Sandhurst cadets). Losey also takes a sideswipe at the kitchen sink project, by using its tools - history has borne him out.

虎头蛇尾的典型代表!张译最近类似的悬疑推理电视剧演得有点多,但是他本人已经有些格式化的在表演,从上部剧到这部剧,换了个名字,换了个年代,换了个背景,可张译还是那个张译,表演上没有了之前他驾驭人物时候的那种轻车熟驾。电视剧里花了那么大的精力做的铺垫,结尾到最后就这么草草结局,还张扬地说是你们也不敢碰的。那你倒是给我出现不敢碰的线来啊?一个市里的领导,还亲自去公安局见政委,这也不知道是什么套路啊。

经朋友推荐,在春节假期的最后两天,可以说是一口气看完了集电视连续剧《天道》。回头又大致地将该剧的原著《遥远的救世主》浏览了一下。应该说,这是一部忠实于原著的电视连续剧。它的剧情,它的理念,它所要表达的观点给人的印象尤为深刻。作为电视剧主人翁的芮小丹是一个美丽漂亮,极有个性,情感丰富,爱憎分明的女刑警。她有着富有的家庭、德国永久居留签证和在法兰克福大学深造的美好前程,但她舍弃了这一切,干上了她喜爱的认为能够体现自身价值的刑警工作。在这期间,一个曾经叱咤中国私募基金市场的风云人物丁元英,悄然落户于芮小丹工作的地方——古城,由此而产生了一段惊天地,泣鬼神,可歌可泣的爱情故事。 该剧在人物的刻画上是成功的。对主人翁芮小丹通篇着力,尽管很多时候仅有画外音,但给我们塑造了一个有血有肉、个性鲜明、情感丰富、爱憎分明、职业意识强烈的成功的艺术形象。尤其是该剧独辟蹊径,在主人翁芮小丹牺牲后,并没有让电视剧嘎然而止,而是浓墨重彩地大书特书,伏笔连连,引人入胜,为突出该剧的主题画上了圆满的句号。能够

纽约时报前一段时间写道:“时代(Eras)作为一个概念,证明女人回顾自己的青春,铭记自己属于什么,不是带着羞耻,而是带着好奇,甚至是喜悦。我从来没有想过,即使是我最无忧无虑、最无害的时代,回顾起来除了羞愧之外,什么也没有。”泰勒斯在舞台上为所有女性树立了一个闪耀的榜样,她唱尽粉丝与她共度的青春与回忆,唱尽生命中的痛苦与爱。她做到了在bejeweled里唱道的那样:What'sagirlgonnado?Adiamond'sgottashine
