Its Fengs sixth New Year film since the first one in 1997.The story takes place on a train. It is about two groups of thieves and a country boy. One group is moved by the boy and tries to protect the boy from being stolen by the other group.Wang Bo (played by Andy Lau) and Wang Li (played by Rene Liu), two master thieves, swindle their way across China, until they meet Fu Gen, who does not know about life and believes that he lives in a world without thieves. Having saved a lot of money after years of work, he is going to build a house and get marriaged. Moved by his good nature, Wang Li wants to protect him from Uncle Bill (played by Ge You) who tries to steal from Fu Gen. Wang Bo, who tries to stop her at first, finally becomes kind and helps her protect the country boy. Andy Lau has a hard time being ugly in the movie. He plays very well, so does Rene Liu. Ge You keeps his special humor in the film. Whats more, the country boy plays naturally.I love this movie and so do all my friends. The pictures are great and the story is moving. I think this is a good film worth seeing.Step IV TaskIn this step, the Ss are asked to discuss their favorite films in groups of four. Chinese films and foreign films are both OK. First, make a list of best films, which are now on at the cinema. Second, give a brief description of each film. Third, write the reviews with some photos or pictures of the film stars, which are taken from the newspapers, magazines or online.A sample version: Waterloo Bridge Stars: Vivien Leigh, Robert Taylor, Lucile Watson, Maria Ouspenskaya, Virginia FieldDirector: Mervyn LeRoyCinema: Xinxing CinemaSuperb performances by Leigh and Taylor. The finest of Vivien Leighs movies, her own favorite.This is a sad romantic film that happens during the World War I. It is very moving, even making everybody who watches it cry. Because of the superb performances by Leigh and Taylor, it has been a masterpiece.Film Review: Waterloo BridgeWaterloo Bridge is a sad love story in which the lovers cannot live together because of the war. In my opinion, it is a masterpiece. The story takes place in the time of the World War I. A beautiful ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员)Myra(Vivien Leigh) falls passionately in love with officer Roy Cronin (Robert Taylor). But they have to be parted when he is called to do his duty during the World War I. Alone and increasingly poor, she learns that he has been killed in action. And so, broken hearted and unconcerned for her, she drifts into prostitution, plying the worlds oldest profession along Waterloo Bridge. But he comes back and happens to meet her at the station. They go to meet his family, and he tries to marry her. But in her heart, she cannot forgive herself, so she leaves without saying goodbye and goes towards the cars bravely. He comes only to find the thing she leaves at the Waterloo Bridge.It is black and white, yet many people like it very much, just like me. What interest us most are the actress and the moving plot. Robert Taylor is a bit miscast, Leigh carries the film with a truly remarkable performance. She is really beautiful and good at acting. The cast also features an exceptional performance by Lucile Watson as Lady Margaret and notable turns by Maria Ouspenskaya, C. Aubrey Smith, and a host of others.Although less well known than such tragic romances as Garbos Camille, Waterloo Bridge is easily the equal of such and considerably better than most. The romantic aura is powerful, the direction, photography, and script are first rate. And at the center of it all we have perhaps the most beautiful actress of her era, Vivien Leigh, in one of her finest performances. It is really moving and great. I like it very much, so do most of my friends. You should go and see it some day.Step V Homework Write a film review as soon as you see a new film. 附 件I. 课文注释1.

II. 背景知识HONG KONG, China Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon picked up four Academy Awards except the best director and best picture. The cast and crew of the martial arts fantasy said winning four out of the 10 nominations gained by the film was “more than enough” and it encouraged them to do even better next time. Lee and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon still made Academy history Sunday night by being the first Asian film to win the foreign-language film award. It also picked up Oscars in art direction, cinematography and best original score (配乐). Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons stars, Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yuma-fat, were invited to present and cellist(大提琴家)Yo-Yo Ma performed the haunting score by Tan Dun.Lee originally pitched the idea for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to his producers as “Sense and Sensibility with kung fu.” But doing a martial arts film fulfilled a childhood fantasy for Lee. Lee has ideas on how he could make it better, (with) more dramatic juices. Hes thinking with action, maybe he could do it better. The film was the first foreign-language film to win double-digit Oscar nominations and the first Asian film ever nominated for best picture. Most importantly for future foreign films and Asian films in particular, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the first subtitled( 配字幕的)film to break the $100 million box office mark in North America. Hong Kongs Peter Pau won the Academys best cinematography prize in a nod to the dynamic(动态的)fight scenes along with special effects that have the actors gliding across rooftops and swinging on bamboo. Pau, one of Hong Kongs top cinematographers, is the first Chinese cinematographer to win the Oscar honor. Backstage, Pau said that in visualizing the film, he tried to recall the style of traditional Chinese watercolor painting. Chinese-born composer Tan Dun, who won the Academy Award for best original score, called the film an overture for a new era. A composer of world reputation as well as Lees friend and neighbor in New York, Tan Dun told reporters there were no cultural boundaries in music. Lee says “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons” honors were encouragement to film makers and watchers in Asia, where the Oscar results were seen ultimately as a triumph for Asian film and Asian talent. The cast and crew were drawn from around the Chinese diasporas(散居各地的人),including Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, Malaysia and the United States. Malaysian-born Michelle Yeoh said the cast and crew are focused on what the movie did win, not what it did not. “All of us understand we are here and our movie has done exceedingly well.” “We all learn every day and thats the magic about film making. There might never be another Crouching Tiger. There might be something thats even better than Crouching Tiger.” she said. 111
