简介：Hungarian Rhapsody (Magyar Rapszodia) is the first chapter of director Miklos Jancso's two-part dramatized history of Hungary, from the turn of the century, to World War II. The story is told from the vantage point of Gyorgy Cserhalmi, the son of a wealthy landowner. During World War I, Cserhalmi is instrumental in quelling an army mutiny. Upon realizing that he has been responsible for the deaths of several peasant conscripts, Cserhalmi vows to be a "man of the people" when hostilities cease. He joins a communist cell, but finds he is woefully out of place. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Cserhalmi's political viewpoint is governed almost exclusively by his vacillating emotions. The film is enhanced with a "Russian Roulette" leitmotif, not unlike the fatalistic throughline of Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter. Director Jancso followed Hungarian Rhapsody with Allegro Barbaro; both films were originally released in tandem, then redistributed as separate features. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
简介：The dramatic, true story of C.S. Lewis' journey from committed atheist to reluctant believer begins with his turbulent childhood. After losing his mother to cancer and becoming estranged from his father, a young C.S. Lewis deems existence bleak and unfortunate. His tutelage under atheist William T. Kirkpatrick and his harrowing experiences in The Great War solidify his case for materialism until he befriends J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson. His fellow intellectuals-all Christians-challenge him to consider the logical, mythological, and literary cases for Christianity, and Lewis must face a life-altering choice: to hold fast to materialism or to give his life to Jesus Christ.
简介：1954年的英国电影《轰炸鲁尔水坝记》 (The Dam Busters)，这部电影几乎以纪录片的形式记录了第二次世界大战中1943年5月16日晚上英国皇家空军执行的“惩戒行动”。This film, details the Allied efforts to target German dams during World War Two. In very methodical, but also enthusiastic fashion, they figured out what plane, what bomb, what angle, what altitude, etc., were necessary to inflict maximum damage to the dams, while minimizing losses to the planes. The answer they came up with, sounds absurd, but it worked: very large, cylindrical bombs rotating backwards at a high rate of speed, causing them, when dropped, to skip along the sureface of the water, right up to the base of the dam.要炸掉水坝，可不是容易的事情，电影详细介绍了炸弹设计者的设计过程，以及英国军方采纳这个计划的过程(因为乍听起来实在像是天方夜谭)，这个片子看起来决不乏味，甚至是相当令人激动地。该片获第28届奥斯卡最佳效果奖提名及第9届英国电影学院最佳电影，最佳英国电影和最佳编剧3项提名。
