慈母泪
362Loosely based on Kathryn Forbes' book -Mama's Bank Account-, this film actually contains richer detail and more intricate character- izations. In turn-of-the-century San Francisco, young Katrina Hansen chronicles episodes of life with her extended family, who combine traditional Norwegian values with modern American ways.

欧洲的某个地方
191Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high. To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults. At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to formalism for its own sake have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding. Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form. -

艳曲迷魂
604这电影估计不会有多少人留意,因为单单看年代,1948年,就会直接忽略过去了。 别嫌这个电影译名老套,要是喜欢爵士乐的朋友,这可是非常经典的电影,不信的话,你可以看看演员列表就知道了。 一位编纂音乐百科全书的教授,决定走访民间收集现实生活音乐材料,遇上了想摆脱帮派男友的迷人爵士歌手,从此巧遇了一段美妙开怀的音乐与爱情体验。 A Song is Born,1948重摄改编于Ball of Fire,承接了类似的故事架构,却更纯粹多彩。 全片集结了许多一时之选的爵士歌曲,例如女主角Honey Swanson以独特嗓音演唱的DADDY-O,以及STEALIN' APPLES,FLYING HOME,I'M GETTIN' SENTIMENTAL OVER YOU还有MUSKRAT RAMBLE,随兴悦耳的旋律,都珍贵地随着电影保存下来。 此片的多彩更表现在强大的卡司阵容。 Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton and Charlie Barnet.活跃于Big Band(大乐队爵士)时代的著名人物,在这部电影里齐聚一堂。1948年,是继Big Band而起的摇摆爵士乐逐渐没落的年代,这样的齐聚一堂相当具有历史意义! 而爵士樂的指标性人物Louis Armstrong,也在此片中飾演自己。 他沙哑富感情的嗓音也原汁原味的保留了下来。 从任何方面来看,此片都是绝对不能错过的爵士经典! -
