现代启示录：剃刀边缘的疯狂

影片开始于西贡的一家小旅馆，维拉德颓然的面孔，这个从越南战场上归来的老兵，他知道自己从未离开湄公河岸那片郁郁葱葱的雨林，他知道，总有一天，自己将回到那里，这是宿命……潮湿闷热，四壁，百叶窗，令人心烦的吊扇和正常的空气向他施予一些微妙的压力，酒精则带来迷醉，他绝望地运动，或许只是跳了些自毁的舞蹈，他打破了镜子，割破手指，伤口中的血抹在脸上，他哭了，或许只是发出了一些让自己能听见的声音。伴着他的是THE DOORS乐队酒神迷醉般的狂欢，摇滚届不朽的灿烂乐章《THE END》。

这里是越南。年轻的美国大兵被隆隆的机翼从加州海岸运往金兰湾，像植物种子般被撒在越南高温潮湿的丛林、沼泽和大山之中，存在的荒诞感如岩石般突显出来：坚硬而且富于质感。导演科波拉斥巨资来营造越南战场的景色：绿色的棕榈树从、红色的火焰、烟雾弹，直升飞机的螺旋桨在蓝色的天空搅起巨大的气流，汽油弹的火焰冲天而起，在茂密的雨林上空形成一片燃烧的红云。
维拉德接到总部的命令，去寻找脱离了美军的科茨上校。科茨的履历表写满了光荣和辉煌，但如今却陷入疯狂。他在柬埔寨境内建立了一个独立王国，推行着野蛮、血腥、非人的残暴统治，还不时地向美军进行疯狂的近乎妄语的广播宣传。总部要求维拉德接到命令后找到科茨，把他带回来，或者，杀了他。
带着这个任务，维拉德率领一小队士兵沿着湄公河逆流而上，穿越丛林前往柬埔寨。在寻找科茨上校的过程中，维拉德几乎横穿了整个越南战场。他目睹了种种暴行、恐怖、杀戮与死亡的场景，深受震憾。

荷马史诗《奥德赛》中的英雄乘船在大海中漂流，海浪和风将他们领向某个未知的地方，或者说，这是他们的宿命；《现代启示录》也称得上一首战争史诗，维拉德一行经过一些营地，遇到各种各样的人，就像古希腊英雄们造访各种王国和岛屿，只是故事黑暗的结局却更像对古代神话的反讽。这是一次命运之旅，逆流而上，寻找某种隐藏在黑暗深处的邪恶，有凄凉，有颓废，有狂欢。

一座基地灯火辉煌，彻夜通明，甚至令人不敢相信那竟然存在于残酷的战场之上。基地里秩序井然，物资充足，艳舞表演与冷酷血腥的战争背景令人惊讶地成为和谐的一体。女郎们身姿动人，士兵们的眼睛里写满了欲望，这一切在夜空中混杂碰撞，以混乱收场。

第二座基地飘零于战火之中，影片没有渲染悲剧气氛，而是借用了服下迷幻药的士兵蓝斯的视觉和听觉，弹药爆炸恍如新年的焰火，枪炮呼啸也清脆得像是圣诞老人马车上的银铃作响，一切都是如此的美妙而和谐。可这终究是战争，那些沉浮于湄公河水之中的败军争先恐后地爬上小舟，叫人联想起冥河中那些哭嚎的魂灵。一个同伴死去了，蓝斯水葬他的那一幕：夕阳下水波与尸体结合，眩目的美丽只能用“圣洁”一词加以描述。

印象最深的是旅途后半部分的那个法国种植园。宁静安详，仿佛从未受过战争的侵扰，他们受到主人的热情招待，享受纯正的法国晚宴，谈论政治、战争、未来。一个女神般的美丽女子，白色沙衣，面庞优雅地掩映于夕阳的余晖之下，战场上总需要这样一个女性，她像母亲一样拥抱绝望的男人，给予他们家园般的平静；或者，她只是在他身上寻找自己已故丈夫的影子？

旅途的终点是高棉境内一个与人类文明完全失去联系的部落，维拉德宛如回到起点的梦魇之中：部落的空旷处，村民正在举行祭祀，人们赤裸着身体用砍刀将一头温顺的公牛劈成几段，一切都笼罩在一种诱惑、暧昧的红色里，光影之间兽性的吞食与媾和牵动着你灵魂黑暗处脆弱于恐惧和崇拜的神经，如果你的手曾经触摸过死亡的身体，或者你笃信神的存在，那么你会明白这是什么，并非是什么感动，和哲理也没有什么关系，完全是宗教似的体验，或许可以说，这就是造物感。

维拉德重复了西贡旅馆中舞蹈一般的动作，巨大如鬼魅的侧影，砍刀落到科茨的身上。结束了，他完成了任务，或者说了结了他的宿命。他站在神殿的门口，逆光，面目模糊，手里拿着滴血的长柄砍刀。他像一个穿破了光明与黑暗的圣人，在片头的扭曲与挣扎之后，忽然变成了理性与正义的化身，他一边崇拜似地称赞上校，一边做着比上校本人更伟大的事情。谜一般的轮回，一个新的神灵诞生了。丢掉了灵魂的村民纷纷向他跪下去，他们乞求维拉德成为他们灵魂的继任，维拉德拉着船员蓝斯回到了船上，脑子里只有他刚刚杀掉的人死前说的话：HORROR，HORROR，H-O-R-R-O-R-……

影片竭力表现一种“悬浮的紧张状态”，大量运用叠印、淡入淡出等手法，全片充斥震耳欲聋的枪炮声，死亡的恐惧不断干扰你的神经，所有的事情都走向极端，那么激烈绝望，不给你任何喘息的机会，像是炼狱的考验。正如科茨在给儿子的信中写道的：“在战争中，有时需要宽容慈悲，有时需要冷漠无情。冷漠无情或许只是因为看得透彻，重要的是看清真相，果断行动，直截了当，保持清楚，分清是非黑白。”在“蜗牛爬过剃刀边缘”的极度危险的状态中，在时刻受到死亡危险的情势下，人很难保持清醒的头脑，无发排遣的恐惧深入内心，疯狂和理智展开拉锯战，瞬间的软弱就会导致疯狂。影片中有一个喜爱冲浪的上校，他在死人身上放扑克牌，在战火交织的河道里冲浪，可以放下手头的事物去救一个素不相识的越南儿童，却为了欣赏冲浪表演用汽油弹轰平一个山头。他把战争融于游戏之中，因而产生一种不实的荒诞感（影片不无深意地安排了在一个记者在战场上拍摄纪录片的场景）。但是也只有这样，只有在忘却一切灾难，放弃理性思考的狂欢之中，无以言表的紧张感和恐惧的威胁才能退场。“越南充满了谎言和怪诞，要抽身很难。”

大多数时候，影片中人的面部都被阴影分成黑白两个区域，一边是纯真的人性，一边是深不见底的罪恶。这是人性的游戏，善与恶的博弈，谁胜谁负已经不再重要。

在这时，只有最坚定最理智的人才能保持清醒的意识，上尉是这样的，科茨也做到了。可他们又陷入另一种绝望：孤独和恐惧。科茨被村民奉为神灵，却无法把握自己的命运，“我们是空心人，我们填满东西倚在一起，头颅装满稻草，我们低语时声音干枯，沉默而没有意义……没有色彩的影子，瘫痪的力量，没有动作的手势……”他可以领导军队，他可以让人们俯首称臣，却无法战胜自己，因而产生强烈的“撕裂感”。战场上没有神明，而被奉为神明的人只能是一群疯子中唯一清醒的那个，科茨的孤独和恐惧是彻骨的。维拉德与科茨的相遇是弗洛伊德的学说中所描述的人类自我与隐藏于潜意识中的本我的接触，他所寻找的与其说是科茨，不如说是他自己。他说：“他（科茨上校）比我更知道我将何去何从。”

科波拉无疑对人的理智抱有怀疑态度，时刻受到威胁的可能并不是生命，而是人的理智。比死亡更大的悲剧，是疯狂；比疯狂更大的悲剧，则是在疯狂的人群中依然保持理智。这如同一个无法摆脱的悖论，影片也没有对此做出明确的回答，维拉德最终选择了逃离，这个结尾未免草率。

科波拉不是政治家，他是艺术家。《现代启示录》不是在反思越战，它在探索人的内心世界，它像一只锐利的长矛，深深刺入人的灵魂深处——那是黑暗的中心地带，电影能在人性上走多远？人心能在罪恶中走多远？

“在人类的灵魂中，如果在某个方面走过了头，就会超过界限而落到不道德的境地，自取灭亡。而建立在谎言基础上的无理战争则摧毁了人类心中最圣洁的美善， 使人们变得虚无、 疯狂与绝望。如今世界上还有什么比战争更可怕的呢？”《现代启示录》用战斗机俯冲般的冷笑回应了这段话——比战争本身更可怕的东西正是人类本身。片名为《现代启示录》，取自《圣经》最后一卷《启示录》，其中的人类世界充满了毁灭的恐怖。《约翰一书》中的五章三节写道：“我们知道， 我们是源于上帝的，但全世界都伏在邪恶者的势力下。”

我想到了信仰，在这种状态下人们依然会有信仰，只要人还活着，他们总是需要信仰的。牧师在信徒面前张开双臂，景深处却炮火隆隆。舞台上的女郎大跳艳舞，失控的人们身后火焰燃烧。天堂与地狱、宗教与巫术、上帝与魔鬼似乎都只是一线之隔。在一望无际的海洋中漂流时，只要有所依靠，谁在乎手里抓到的是一块木板还是一艘海船？在湄公河的尽头，被恐惧折磨得丧失了一切能力的人们把科茨奉为神明，可是上校本人又能把谁当作神明？他的绝望深入骨髓，他的死亡是宿命般的不可避免。极度缺乏信仰所导致的是疯狂的盲从，难以想象，神圣的祭祀也是可怕的巫术，一头牛在虔诚的人们的歌舞之下被活生生地砍成几段。人们太虚弱了，分不清伟大与邪恶。

那个喜爱冲浪的上校，他在攻击村落时选择播放瓦格纳的歌剧《尼伯龙根的指环》，炮火与雄壮的音乐交织应和，这一幕成为战争电影中的经典。

当人们迷失得连自我都找不到，拯救二字在这片亚热带丛林中便虚伪得像个玩笑。虚伪，虚伪的神灵、虚伪的人性，连思考都是虚伪的。那么什么才是真实？科波拉说：“恐惧”。我想，这不是一个能让人满意的答案。

Citizen Kane（公民凯恩）（1941）

American Film Institute (AFI) 的“百年百片”中的第一名。

蝎子矩阵UID: 210059

The American Film Institute in Los Angeles, California, in mid-June 1998 commemorated the extraordinary first 100 years of American movies by making a "definitive selection of the 100 greatest American movies of all time, as determined by more than 1,500 leaders from the American film community." The 400 Nominated Films were feature-length fictional movies produced between 1912 and 1996 "with the goal of amassing a capsule of the first 100 years of American cinema, across decades and across genres."

1. Citizen Kane (1941) - RKO
Director: Orson Welles
Stars: Orson Welles; Joseph Cotten; Everett Sloane, Agnes Moorehead
Welles' first feature - the tragic story of newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Welles), loosely modeled after the life of William Randolph Hearst, founder of the Hearst publishing empire, and the publisher's ultimately empty rise to power. Acclaimed for its innovative narrative structure, deep focus cinematography, soundtrack, literate screenplay, and nuanced portrayal of the central character.

2. Casablanca (1942) - Warner Bros.
Director: Michael Curtiz
Stars: Humphrey Bogart; Ingrid Bergman; Claude Rains; Paul Henreid; Dooley Wilson
Romantic drama of wartime sacrifice set in Nazi-occupied French Morocco. Bogart, as jaded and cynical American idealist saloonkeeper/nightclub owner Rick Blaine, sacrifices the love of a lifetime to join the world's fight against the Nazis. When the picture debuted, it marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship with generations of moviegoers. With a crackling script and the classic song, "As Time Goes By." Academy Award for Best Picture. "Here's looking at you, kid."

3. The Godfather (1972) - Paramount
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Stars: Marlon Brando; Al Pacino; James Caan; Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton
Tragic, romantic saga of Mob boss Don Corleone and the rise of his successor, son Michael (Pacino). Adapted from Mario Puzo's novel, the film reimagined the genre of the Mob drama. It was marked by taut suspense, rich period detail, and memorable dialogue ("I'll make him an offer he can't refuse"). Brando is Don Vito Corleone, the sympathetic Godfather of a New York crime family, whose business it is to make offers people can't refuse. Visually beautiful images of times and locales contrast with the film's graphic violence. It won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Actor, among others.

4. Gone with the Wind (1939) - MGM
Director: Victor Fleming
Stars: Clark Gable; Vivien Leigh; Olivia de Havilland; Leslie Howard; Hattie McDaniel
Based on Margaret Mitchell's best-selling "Immortal tale of the old South" - the inimitable epic of Civil War destruction and the ill-fated romance between Scarlett O'Hara (Leigh) and Rhett Butler (Gable). Endures as a compelling story and an example of studio era greatness. The burning of Atlanta was a high water mark for screen excitement. As poet Ogden Nash put it, "The Civil War was quite a fight and not a mere diversion; I never knew how tough it was before Dave Selznick's version." It won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Director, Actress, and Supporting Actress.

5. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) - Columbia
Director: David Lean
Stars: Peter O'Toole; Alec Guinness; Anthony Quinn; Omar Sharif; Jose Ferrer
Majestic adventure and character drama - the epic story of T. E. Lawrence, an enigmatic British officer/mapmaker who transformed himself into the leader of a WWI Arab revolt against Turkey during World War I. The film became renowned for Lean's direction and Freddie Young's cinematography. Based on T. E. Lawrence's memoir Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Winner of many Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

6. The Wizard of Oz (1939) - MGM
Director: Victor Fleming
Stars: Judy Garland; Ray Bolger; Margaret Hamilton; Bert Lahr; Jack Haley; Frank Morgan
Magical adaptation of L. Frank Baum's children's fantasy of an enchanted land made Garland a major star. Garland's Dorothy Gale is transported from her black-and-white Kansas home to the colorful land of Oz via tornado. From here she journeys down the Yellow Brick Road and is helped by a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion on their way to see the Wizard. The Harold Arlen/E. Yip Harburg score is highlighted by "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - a song that became a popular standard. Inventive use of color and special effects are still impressive today. A children's movie for all ages.

7. The Graduate (1967) - Embassy
Director: Mike Nichols
Stars: Dustin Hoffman; Anne Bancroft; Katharine Ross
Black comedy of aimless, recent college graduate Benjamin (Hoffman) that defined a generation and established Hoffman as a star. Hoffman spends his summer trying to find out what to do next in this biting comedy. Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson has some ideas, and they're not about plastics. Hoffman's reactions to her advances and his attempts to be suave are among the film's funniest moments, and her seduction of Benjamin is withering and hilarious. The evocative Simon and Garfunkel score, that includes "Mrs. Robinson," is as much a character in the movie as Bancroft's amorous Mrs. Robinson or Ross' lovely Elaine. Nichols won an Academy Award for Best Director.

8. On the Waterfront (1954) - Columbia
Director: Elia Kazan
Stars: Marlon Brando; Karl Malden; Lee J. Cobb; Eva Marie Saint, Rod Steiger
Gritty drama of union corruption memorable for Brando's sensitive performance as a misfit dockworker-longshoreman, epitomized in the backseat scene in which he cries, "I could've been a contender." He rebels against his brother and corruption on New York City's docks in this powerful story that mirrors the political climate of the early 1950s. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture, Actor, and Supporting Actress, among others.

9. Schindler's List (1993) - Amblin Entertainment/Universal
Director: Steven Spielberg
Stars: Liam Neeson; Ralph Fiennes; Ben Kingsley
Somber, inspiring adaptation of Thomas Kenneally's fact-based book about an opportunistic Catholic industrialist (Neeson) able to save several hundred Polish Jews from death camps during World War II by hiring them to work in his factory. Memorable performances all around, particularly by Fiennes, who plays a brutal Nazi officer. "The list is life." Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director, among others.

10. Singin' in the Rain (1952) - MGM
Director: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen
Stars: Gene Kelly; Debbie Reynolds; Donald O'Connor, Jean Hagen
Kelly makes a splash as Don Lockwood, a Hollywood leading man who reflects on the production of The Dueling Cavalier - a film that becomes The Dancing Cavalier when the studio takes advantage of a new invention called sound. Reynolds and O'Connor are his energetic, supportive sidekicks, helping to devise a clever way to cover the grating voice of his co-star Lina Lamont, played by Hagen. Furious when she learns of their plan, Lina asserts herself by screaming, "Why, I make more money than, than Calvin Coolidge! Put together!" Delightful musical send-up of the transition-conversion from silent to sound films, with many memorable and delightful song and dance musical numbers, including "Make 'Em Laugh," "Broadway Rhythm," and the incomparable title song. This musical set in Hollywood has Kelly singing, dancing and splashing in puddles.

11. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - RKO
Director: Frank Capra
Stars: James Stewart; Donna Reed; Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, Henry Travers
Moving fable of disillusioned family man (Stewart) who is visited by a guardian angel (Travers) and shown what the world would be like if he had never been born. This notable Christmas classic features a complex, engrossing, Everyman performance by Stewart as George Bailey, a suicidal man redeemed by friendship and the recognition that each person's life touches many others. Remember every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. Favorite film of both Capra and Stewart.

12. Sunset Boulevard (1950) - Paramount
Director: Billy Wilder
Stars: Gloria Swanson; William Holden; Erich von Stroheim, Cecil B. DeMille
The caustic, tragic noir about a screenwriter (Holden) and the deluded silent star (Swanson) who ensnares him. Swanson is ready for her close-up in this pungent slice of Hollywood life depicting a reclusive, former silent screen actress who kills her screenwriting, gigolo boyfriend. The film won three Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay. Memorable line: "I am big. It's the pictures that got small."

13. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - Columbia
Director: David Lean
Stars: William Holden; Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Sessue Hayakawa
Dark World War II drama about stiff-backed, rigid British POW colonel (Guinness), his equally unyielding Japanese captor (Hayakawa), and the bridge that embodies the absurdities of war. Guinness refuses to bow to torture in a Japanese prison camp during World War II, and Holden is an American who escapes from the camp, then must return to sabotage a bridge constructed to perfection by inspired POWs under Guinness' command. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, among others. Memorable use of World War II song and the "Colonel Bogey March."

14. Some Like it Hot (1959) - Ashton/Mirisch
Director: Billy Wilder
Stars: Jack Lemmon; Tony Curtis; Marilyn Monroe, Joe E. Brown, George Raft
Hilarious comedy about 1920s musicians (Lemmon and Curtis) who witness the 1928 St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago, then join all-female band and evade killers. Wilder's comic take provided sex symbol Monroe with two of her most unusual rivals, Curtis and Lemmon in drag. Memorable throughout, especially for the last line, "Well, nobody's perfect." Adapted screenplay by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond, for which they won Academy Awards.

15. Star Wars (1977) - 20th Century Fox
Director: George Lucas
Stars: Mark Hamill; Harrison Ford; Carrie Fisher; Alec Guinness

"May the force be with you." Two sequels and prequels followed.

16. All about Eve (1950) - 20th Century Fox
Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Stars: Bette Davis; Anne Baxter; George Sanders; Celeste Holm; Thelma Ritter
Classic story of backstage betrayal, with Davis as the aging star Margo Channing and Baxter as the young schemer Eve Harrington. Fasten your seat belts for a bumpy ride in this story of an aging actress who is undone by a young, ambitious fan. Sophisticated performances by Davis, Sanders and Baxter shine in this scathing look at the world of the theater. Academy Award winner for Best Picture, it is memorable for Sanders' role as the cynical critic and Marilyn Monroe as his scene-stealing consort.

17. The African Queen (1951) - United Artists
Director: John Huston
Stars: Humphrey Bogart; Katharine Hepburn; Robert Morley
Unlikely love story and rousing romantic adventure yarn set in Africa, between drunken boatman and prim spinster (Bogart and Hepburn) who battle each other and then join forces on an uncharted river at the outbreak of World War I.

Stars: Anthony Perkins; Janet Leigh; Vera Miles; John Gavin
Shocking thriller of a woman (Leigh) on the lam with stolen money, and the twisted events at the Bates Motel under the management of Norman Bates (Perkins)...and his mother, where she makes the mistake of checking in.

Gittes (Nicholson), who is lured into the world of shady water rights and land deals and uncovers family secrets while investigating the death of mysterious Dunaway's husband. Seductive 1930s set design, and memorable last line: "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, among others.

20. One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) - United Artists
Director: Milos Forman
Stars: Jack Nicholson; Louise Fletcher; Brad Dourif
Earnest adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel about inspired mental asylum patient Randle McMurphy (Nicholson), a troublemaker committed to the institution who sparks new life in the downtrodden inmates, giving them purpose and self-worth. His war on the system is fought at every step by Fletcher's Nurse Ratched who has a relentless drive to squash him.

22. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - MGM
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Stars: Keir Dullea; William Sylvester; Gary Lockwood, Douglas Rain (voice of HAL)
Kubrick's cooly-spectacular science fiction space drama/epic puts the history of mankind in context between ape and space voyager.

67. The Manchurian Candidate (1962) - United Artists
Director: John Frankenheimer

Suspense thriller about a veteran (Sinatra), a brain-washed former POW from the Korean War, who suspects that a fellow soldier, hailed as a hero, is actually something else. Harvey is the "hero" who has been trained or programmed by the Communists as an assassin, and a Queen of Hearts is the key to his personality. Notable for its political satire, visual inventiveness, and Lansbury's performance as a scheming mother.

68. An American in Paris (1951) - MGM
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Stars: Gene Kelly; Leslie Caron; Oscar Levant; Nina Foch
Academy Award-winning film about American artist (Kelly) finding love with Frenchwoman (Caron). A showcase for dazzling scenes built around George and Ira Gershwin's lush score. The music and the dancing of Kelly and Caron are at the center of this fluid, visually beautiful love story set in post-war Paris. The ballet sequence, filmed in the style of Impressionist paintings, is legendary. Songs include "I Got Rhythm," "Embraceable You," "S'Wonderful," and the title song.

69. Shane (1953) - Paramount
Director: George Stevens
Stars: Alan Ladd; Jean Arthur; Van Heflin; Jack Palance; Brandon de Wilde
Elemental, landmark western about lone, former gunslinger (Ladd) who helps a family of settlers defend and protect themselves against some murdering cattlemen, including Palance. Ladd's stoic Shane, who is idolized by the settlers' son, is the archetypal Western hero. De Wilde's closing call to Shane caps the film.

70. The French Connection (1971) - 20th Century-Fox
Director: William Friedkin
Stars: Gene Hackman; Fernando Rey; Roy Scheider
Gritty action drama about unconventional "Popeye" Doyle (Hackman), a brash New York City detective who tracks international heroin smugglers and uncovers a major drug operation. The spectacular car chase under the elevated train tracks is movie legend. Won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Actor, among others.

71. Forrest Gump (1994) - Paramount
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Stars: Tom Hanks; Robin Wright; Gary Sinise; Sally Field
Poignant drama of a simple, kind man named Forrest Gump (Hanks), who despite being mentally challenged, tries hard, is honest and places his trust in luck. He tells his life story to anyone who sits next to him at a bus stop, and the flashbacks follow Forrest and his good heart through some of the highlights of modern American history. He becomes central to the major events of the late 20th century and finds true love with Wright along the way. Through the use of seamless digital visual imagery, Forrest appears to interact in scenes with John F. Kennedy, John Lennon and George Wallace. This adaptation of Winston Groom's novel won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Actor. "Life is like a box of chocolates."

72. Ben-Hur (1959) - MGM
Director: William Wyler
Stars: Charlton Heston; Jack Hawkins; Stephen Boyd; Hugh Griffith
This epic, character-driven adaptation of Lew Wallace's religious novel set in the time of Christ, a remake of the 1926 film, features Heston as the title character, a wealthy Jew whose former childhood friend, a Roman, causes him to lose everything. He eventually gets his revenge in the film's most impressive and legendary action scene - the spectacular chariot race. Won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director, and Supporting Actor (Griffith), among others.

73. Wuthering Heights (1939) - United Artists
Director: William Wyler
Stars: Merle Oberon; Laurence Olivier; David Niven; Flora Robson
Gregg Toland's moody, stunning Academy Award-winning cinematography infuses the film adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel with a haunting atmosphere. Features Olivier and Oberon as the doomed romantic couple, with Olivier as the brooding master of Wuthering Heights who roams the English moors in search of his lost love, Oberon.

74. The Gold Rush (1925) - United Artists
Director: Charlie Chaplin
Stars: Charlie Chaplin; Georgia Hale; Mack Swain; Tom Murray
In one of Chaplin's most famous films, a poignant comedy that defines Chaplin's silent work, a lone Alaskan prospector (Chaplin), the Little Tramp, battles the elements in search of gold, adventure, love and a girl in the Yukon. He attempts to stave off hunger by dining on his shoe, much to the consternation of cabin mate Swain, who imagines that Charlie is a giant chicken. The film's many memorable scenes include the meal he makes of his boiled leather boot, a famished Swain's vision of Chaplin as a giant chicken, and the dance of the rolls. Chaplin also wrote the score and screenplay.

75. Dances with Wolves (1990) - Orion
Director: Kevin Costner
Stars: Kevin Costner; Mary McDonnell; Graham Greene
Civil War captain (Costner) finds a new home among the Sioux Indians in this Academy Award-winning movie, Costner's directoral debut. Costner directs and stars in this epic vision of the old West, where as a disillusioned soldier, he leaves the Civil War and strikes out to the prairie on his own. After a difficult start, he learns to live, love and respect the land when the Sioux Indians welcome him into their tribe. Memorable for its atmospheric location cinematography and feeling portrayal of Native American life.

76. City Lights (1931) - Chaplin/United Artists
Director: Charlie Chaplin
Stars: Charlie Chaplin; Virginia Cherrill; Harry Myers; Florence Lee
A moving tragi-comedy/drama in which the Little Tramp falls hopelessly in love with a blind flower girl (Cherrill), and experiences difficulty linked to a rich and eccentric lush (Myers). Perhaps best remembered for the dramatic ending when she first sees the face that helped her regain her sight, the film is grounded in classic Chaplin comedy. Among the most memorable laughs has Chaplin trying to raise money for the girl's operation by entering the boxing ring in a bout that he thinks has been fixed. Notable as an exquisite Chaplinesque blend of drama, passion, self-sacrifice and true love.

77. American Graffiti (1973) - Universal
Director: George Lucas
Stars: Richard Dreyfuss; Ron Howard; Candy Clark; Harrison Ford; Paul LeMat; Cindy Williams; Mackenzie Phillips; Charles Martin Smith
"Where were you in '62?" was the advertising slogan for this nostalgic, comical, coming-of-age story of California teenagers/high-school graduates during an eventful late-summer night out on the town in 1962, who mark passage from high school into adulthood. This funny, melancholy film brought the director to prominence, featured a grown-up Howard, and made stars of newcomers Ford and Dreyfuss; use of early rock hits influenced soundtracks for years.

78. Rocky (1976) - United Artists
Director: John G. Avildsen
Stars: Sylvester Stallone; Talia Shire; Burgess Meredith; Carl Weathers
Crowd-pleasing Cinderella drama of small-time boxer Rocky Balboa (Stallone), an underclassed boxer from Philadelphia, whose dream is to fight for the championship belt. He gets his last chance to prove himself in a championship match against Apollo Creed (Weathers). With the help of his new love Adrian (Shire), and his wily and irascible boxing coach (Meredith), he steps into the ring against Creed and exits an American film icon. An Academy Award winner, the film made Stallone a star and sparked four sequels.

79. The Deer Hunter (1978) - Warner Bros.
Director: Michael Cimino
Stars: Robert De Niro; Christopher Walken; Meryl Streep; John Savage; John Cazale
Cimino's epic film, an intense drama about friendship and the effects of Vietnam War service on a group of three steelworker friends and their western Pennsylvania community, whose lives are irrevocably changed by a tour of duty in Vietnam. The film is renowned for the Russian roulette scenes. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture and Supporting Actor (Walken), among others.

80. The Wild Bunch (1969) - Warner Bros.-Seven Arts
Director: Sam Peckinpah
Stars: William Holden; Ernest Borgnine; Robert Ryan; Ben Johnson
Anti-heroic western about a group of aging desperados who plan one last and final heist before retiring. Holden is the leader of the band of outlaws in 1913 Texas. Peckinpah's use of slow motion and Lou Lombardo's editing are considered milestones in the Western genre. Notable for its grittiness and lyrical representation of violence.

81. Modern Times (1936) - United Artists
Director: Charlie Chaplin
Stars: Charlie Chaplin; Paulette Goddard; Henry Bergman
Poignant comedy-drama about the dehumanization of the machine age. Chaplin ended the silent era with this film, his last silent film, about a little man working on an assembly line, who is literally caught in the hub and cogs of an industrialized society, and after several trips to the hospital and jail, ultimately finds happiness with a kindred soul.

82. Giant (1956) - Warner Bros.
Director: George Stevens
Stars: Elizabeth Taylor; James Dean; Rock Hudson; Mercedes McCambridge
Generational epic based on Edna Ferber's saga of wealth and prejudice during twenty-five years in the life of a Texas ranching family. It boasts the sprawling Texas countryside, co-stars Taylor, Hudson and Dean, and features a fistfight in a diner fought to the strains of "The Yellow Rose of Texas." Notable for its star turns and as Dean's final film.

83. Platoon (1986) - Orion
Director: Oliver Stone
Stars: Tom Berenger; Willem Dafoe; Charlie Sheen, Forest Whitaker
Intense drama about the Vietnam War depicts harshness and cruelties through the eyes of a soldier played by Sheen, a young man from a privileged background who volunteers to serve in Vietnam and experiences the horror of war first-hand. He tries to make sense of the madness through the leadership provided by Dafoe's sensitive Sergeant Elias and Berenger's scarred and unfeeling Sergeant Barnes. Acclaimed for its realism, the film won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director, among others.

84. Fargo (1996) - Gramercy Pictures/Polygram Filmed Entertainment/Working Title Films
Director: Joel Coen
Stars: Frances McDormand; William H. Macy; Steve Buscemi
Dark, jaunty, but grisly crime drama about a Minnesota gruesome multiple murder case (intertwined with a botched kidnapping job hatched by Macy) in a frigid and snowy landscape under the able investigation of pregnant police chief Marge (McDormand). She reconstructs the crime with a style all her own. Wood-chipper scene and blinding white exterior shots are notable. Academy Award winner for Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay. "You betcha."

85. Duck Soup (1933) - Paramount
Director: Leo McCarey
Stars: Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo Marx; Margaret Dumont; Louis Calhern
Quintessential, anarchic Marx Brothers comedy about the Prime Minister of Freedonia Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho), and his war on another fictional country, Sylvania, with the help of Chico's peanut salesman and his sidekick, Harpo. Released at the height of the Depression, this Marx Brothers comedy is a satirical attack on politics and the absurdity of war. At the height of battle, Groucho says to his brothers of Dumont, "Remember, we're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did." In one memorable scene, Groucho, dictator of the mythical country of Freedonia, mistakes Harpo for his mirror image. Other timeless gags involve a street vendor and a sidecar. Zeppo's last film.

86. Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) - MGM
Director: Frank Lloyd
Stars: Charles Laughton; Clark Gable; Franchot Tone
Bracing adaptation of the adventure novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall about 18th-century sea justice based on an historical incident, with meaty performances by Laughton as Captain William Bligh, an excellent seaman whose lack of humanity and rigid adherence to regulations forces Gable's noble Fletcher Christian to lead a mutiny against him. Won an Academy Award for Best Picture.

87. Frankenstein (1931) - Universal
Director: James Whale
Stars: Colin Clive; Boris Karloff; Mae Clarke; John Boles; Dwight Frye; Edward Van Sloan
The original sound version of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel is notable for its Gothic atmosphere and haunting makeup and the poignant performance by Karloff as the Monster brought to life by the scientist Frankenstein (Clive). Whale ushered in a new era of horror films, and Karloff was never quite able to shake his image as the frightening, yet often sympathetic "monster" of Dr. Frankenstein.

88. Easy Rider (1969) - Columbia
Director: Dennis Hopper
Stars: Peter Fonda; Dennis Hopper; Jack Nicholson; Karen Black
Definitive countercultural road movie follows motorcycle-riding duo (Hopper and Fonda) across America to find America. Nicholson gained notice for his supporting role as a lawyer, leading to stardom in the 1970s. The film became an anthem for the 1960s' cultural dialogue on freedom, individualism and patriotism.

89. Patton (1970) - 20th Century-Fox
Director: Franklin J. Schaffner
Stars: George C. Scott; Karl Malden; Stephen Young
Intelligent epic biography of "Blood and Guts" World War II general, notable for its riveting opening sequence of Scott as Patton speaking in front of an American flag that fills the screen, and Scott's commanding title performance. Film won an Academy Award for Best Picture; Scott won (and refused) an award for Best Actor.

90. The Jazz Singer (1927) - Warner Bros.
Director: Alan Crosland
Stars: Al Jolson; May McAvoy; Warner Oland; Eugenie Besserer; William Demarest
Pioneering silent film with sound portions about a cantor's son (Jolson) who enters show business. It wasn't really the first "talkie," but its release marked the death knell for silent pictures and helped launch the sound era. Jolson, as the rabbi's son who wants to be a Broadway star, tells the audience "You ain't heard nothin' yet." Songs include "Blue Skies," "Mammy," and "Toot Toot Tootsie, Goodbye."

91. My Fair Lady (1964) - Warner Bros.
Director: George Cukor
Stars: Rex Harrison; Audrey Hepburn; Stanley Holloway; Gladys Cooper; Wilfrid Hyde-White
Lush adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe musical, an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, that features Harrison reprising his stage role as Henry Higgins, who takes a bet that he can transform the young spirited cockney Eliza Doolittle (Hepburn) into a proper lady. Earned Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Director, but the music is the film's enduring element. Lerner and Loewe's songs include "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," "The Rain In Spain," "On the Street Where You Live," and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face."

92. A Place in the Sun (1951) - Paramount
Director: George Stevens
Stars: Montgomery Clift; Elizabeth Taylor; Shelley Winters
Atmospheric adaptation of Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy. Features a smoldering performance from Clift as he pursues the gorgeous, elusive, and rich Taylor. When the brooding Clift meets beautiful socialite Taylor, he has to do something about his pregnant girlfriend Winters. Whether or not Winters' drowning death is accidental, Clift must pay the ultimate price.

93. The Apartment (1960) - United Artists
Director: Billy Wilder
Stars: Jack Lemmon; Shirley MacLaine; Fred MacMurray
In this sparkling office comedy, a career-climbing insurance clerk (Lemmon) advances his career when he offers his boss (MacMurray) the use of his apartment as an evening love nest for an extra-marital fling. He soon gets tangled up with the boss's flighty and fragile girlfriend (MacLaine), the insurance building's elevator operator, and his career gets dangerously close to plummeting back down to the lobby. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay.

94. GoodFellas (1990) - Warner Bros.
Director: Martin Scorsese
Stars: Robert De Niro; Joe Pesci; Ray Liotta; Lorraine Bracco
Based on a true story in Nicholas Pileggi's book Wiseguy, this is a violent, unromanticized drama about modern-day New York City Mafia underworld life, as seen through the eyes of former member Henry Hill (Liotta). Hill dreamed as a kid of becoming a member of the glamorous mob who ran his New York neighborhood. De Niro and Pesci are members of the family he ascends to, until he breaks the code and eventually falls from grace.

95. Pulp Fiction (1994) - A Band Apart/Jersey Films/Miramax Films
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Stars: John Travolta; Samuel L. Jackson; Uma Thurman; Bruce Willis; Harvey Keitel; Tim Roth; Amanda Plummer, Ving Rhames
Tarantino weaves together multiple stories that juggle plot lines, time frames and characters that inhabit the seamy side of Los Angeles, including Travolta and Jackson as hit-men with strong moral codes, Willis as a low-life boxer and, of course, The Gimp. The stories form a frenetic meditation on underworld honor. The Travolta-Thurman dance scene and metaphysical discussions between Travolta and Jackson are memorable.

96. The Searchers (1956) - Warner Bros.
Director: John Ford
Stars: John Wayne; Jeffrey Hunter; Natalie Wood; Ward Bond; Vera Miles
Haunting western, Ford's masterpiece, about Ethan Edwards (Wayne), an Indian-hating ex-soldier, who spends years in an obsessive and relentless search for his niece Debbie (Wood), who was abducted and captured in childhood during a Comanche Indian raid. Indelible closing shot shows the eternal divide between Edwards and his family, and between the frontier and civilization.

97. Bringing up Baby (1938) - RKO
Director: Howard Hawks
Stars: Katharine Hepburn; Cary Grant; Charlie Ruggles
Archetypal, fast-paced screwball comedy about madcap heiress (Hepburn), with the help of her pet leopard Baby and a wire-haired terrier named George, who wreaks havoc and derails the staid life of a paleontologist (Grant). Funny and fast, it features song standard, "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," sung to the leopard perched on a roof.

98. Unforgiven (1992) - Malpaso Productions/Warner Bros.
Director: Clint Eastwood
Stars: Clint Eastwood; Morgan Freeman; Gene Hackman, Frances Fisher
Meditative western about a reformed killer (Eastwood) called to one last gunfight. Eastwood directs and stars as a formerly notorious gunslinger who is forced to return to his murderous ways after his wife dies and his family needs money. The film was noted for challenging the morality of Western stereotypes created by American film. Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Director, and Supporting Actor (Hackman).

99. Guess who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) - Columbia
Director: Stanley Kramer
Stars: Katharine Hepburn; Spencer Tracy; Sidney Poitier; Katharine Houghton
Timely drama about parents (Tracy and Hepburn sharing the screen for the last time) who learn of inter-racial romance between their daughter (Houghton) and an erudite, well-spoken African-American (Poitier). She brings him home for dinner and tests the family's socially liberal resolve. Tracy's last film, especially poignant for a scene in which he and Hepburn reflect on the power of love. Hepburn won an Academy Award for Best Actress.

100. Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) - Warner Bros.
Director: Michael Curtiz
Stars: James Cagney; Joan Leslie; Walter Huston; Irene Manning
Patriotic musical biography of song-and-dance man George M. Cohan, energetically portrayed by Cagney. The film covers the earliest days of vaudeville to the development of the American musical stage play. Cagney sings and dances memorably in the title role, for which he won an Academy Award. The World War II musical features such rousingly patriotic Cohan songs as "Over There," "It's a Grand Old Flag," "Give My Regards to Broadway," "Mary's a Grand Old Name," and "Yankee Doodle Boy."

谢谢esyaoelle。
个人意见，可以因为一部电影而感动，但不切可于电影中寻找欢喜忧伤。看电影犹如抽烟，容易上瘾的，特别是失意彷徨的时候：虽然可能在短暂的时间里暂时忘掉那些恼人的烦心事，但是现实依然一如既往的现实——于电影中逃避不是什么好办法。对我而言，看电影不仅仅是爱好，似乎更是一种习惯，然而得承认毕竟是最苦闷无聊的时候看电影比较多，说起来也是逃避，然而这样并不好。
吸引你的电影便是好电影啦，不用管别人怎么评价。
至于推荐嘛，这几个月来看的电影，有几部觉得不错的，当然，纯粹个人意见。

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World（怒海争锋）（2003）

Peter Weir执导，Russell Crowe主演。第七十六届奥斯卡最佳影片提名。
那一年的奥斯卡没什么悬念的，《指环王》前两部都获得最佳影片提名而未获奖，于是第七十六届奥斯卡把“最佳影片”给了《指环王：国王归来》，算是对Peter Jackson ‘LOTR’三部曲的统一评价与奖励吧。





E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial（ET外星人）（1982）

Steven Spielberg执导的著名科幻电影。曾看过一篇比较有趣的文章，好像是什么“男人必看的电影”，其中就有推荐这一部，理由是：要永远保持一颗童心。
电影里有个小女孩，胖嘟嘟很可爱的那种，竟然是Drew Barrymore扮演的。





May 12, 2006.

In the Heat of the Night（炎热的夜晚）（1967）

第四十届奥斯卡最佳影片。黑人影星Sidney Poitier主演。
一个探案故事，不过影片中处处反映了上世纪六十年代美国种族隔离政策的阴影以及白人社会对黑人的歧视，也可能因此获得了当届的奥斯卡“最佳影片”。由此看来，奥斯卡也颇懂与时俱进、反映时事的道理。





Cypher（刀走偏锋）（2002）

一部挺有新意的科幻片，只是片子比较短，一个半小时多些。很久没看到这样有些新意的故事了。





May 13, 2006.

Strangers on a Train（火车怪客）（1951）

Alfred Hitchcock的一部经典。和Hitchcock其他众多最后才给出答案的悬疑电影并不相同，影片一开始便告诉观众谁是凶手，但故事依然引人入胜。
推荐。

楼主有没有看新上映的达芬奇密码，看了书想象是一种样子，而影片是另一种感觉。
又看到了卢浮宫，发现它新的美丽角度。汤姆汉克斯滴水不露的表演，是神秘的眼神。而塔图我总是想爱美丽的影子。最感动的是兰德教授最后和女主角说的几句话：

  “一个信仰，你是要毁灭它；还是要复兴它，就看你相信什么了”——在一场生生死死的风雨后，尘埃落定的时候，它要表达什么？信仰的力量，宗教的力量有多大。想了很久都没有找到答案。
