简介:Two smugglers meet two customs officers at sea, and happen to kill them. The story continues fifteen years later when a son of one of the officers and a smuggler's daughter fall in love with each other.
简介:The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich; his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.
简介:这是一部典型美国英雄主义的影片。越战期间,许多像文森(安东尼•巴里奥 Anthony Barrile 饰)一样的怀有参战理想或各种不得不参战原因的年轻人来到了空降师,他们虽然同属一支部队,但是由于当时种族歧视盛行,部队里的气氛并不是那么和谐。 这天,空降师接到了一个任务,就是攻占阿士谷937山丘。当文森所在的空降部队降落到指定地点时,他们发现防守的北越军队在这里已经整装待发。于是,一场异常艰巨的拉锯战打响了。北越军人数上占了很多优势,美军伤亡惨重,但为了完成任务,原本互相心存芥蒂的不同人种的美军士兵都抛开了以往一切成见,齐心协力一起往上攻。经过了11次的攻击,他们终于占领了937山丘。因这里已经尸横遍野,所以士兵们称之为“汉堡高地”。
