改编自赛珍珠的普立兹奖小说,是好莱坞在三十年代开始注意东方题材的代表性作品。影片虽是描写中国农村夫妇的悲剧故事,但主角均由美国人扮演,导演悉尼.弗兰克林也采取西方古典电影的风格来处理,在制作上相当严谨认真。剧情描写保罗.茂尼与路易丝.莱娜本来是贫困的农民,面对饥荒的威胁甚至以烤土充饥。后来茂尼得到了一笔财富,竟整天花天酒地迷恋情妇,莱娜只有发挥贤妻的耐性期待丈夫浪子回头。今天看来类似故事已显得老套,但本片的拍摄与特技表现杰出,路易丝.莱娜亦获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。
轮椅篮球经常与残疾人运动联系在一起。然而,轮椅篮球是一项适合残疾人和非残疾人的运动。受20世纪90年代被称为“球场上的狐狸”的国家队教练李元宇及其门徒教练韩萨炫对轮椅篮球的奉献精神的启发,这部真人动作运动故事讲述了一位中年篮球明星,一位傲慢的篮球天才,以及因事故而拥有圆形钢腿的男子。他们一起通过轮椅篮球团结起来,追求自己的梦想。
The boisterous, arrogant professor Challenger, a reputed biologist and anthropologist, dares the London Zoological Society to mount an expedition to verify his spectacular claim, without physical proof, that his previous expedition to the Amazonian basin found live dinosaurs. Apart from him and his 'socialite' counterpart, professor Summerlee, it consists of experienced discoverer Lord Roxbury, the young reporter Ed Malone -who got publicly struck down with Challenger's umbrella at his arrival- and Jennifer Holmes, Malone's news agency's boss's daughter, essentially as conditions for putting up the money. In Brazil they are joined by Jennifer's brother David and local 'guide' Manuel Gomez. They soon discover the dinosaurs are real and dangerous, like giant spiders, but loose their helicopter and thus are desperate for a way down from the isolated plateau. They learn Roxbury knew about the fate of Burton White, an explorer whose diary they find, thus presume to be dead, in search of diamonds, and confirmation of the local tribe being the lethal guardians of the plateau's secrets, but also get surprising help...
在天眼尚未密布,监场保安仍会打瞌睡的二十世纪七十年代,名画大盗就是会光天化日,大剌剌走进美术馆,直接把猎物从墙上取下放入布袋运走。看似儿戏的一切,背后主谋还要是住在市郊、人畜无害的住家男人。凯莉·莱卡特完全弃用好莱坞盗宝片叙事公式,改以其擅长的左翼简约主义镜头,捕捉触犯艺术罪行者的日常生活、双面人的言行处境,以及事件周遭人情冷暖。阿瑟多夫的抽象画作未必是一个借口,但到头来凸显存在荒谬的公路逃亡,俨然为观众添加了不少欣赏和思考的层次。
