King of Horror
Horror movies have never particularly interested me but when Evil Dead II was first introduced to me, I immediately fell in love with it.
The basic plot of this horror movie is that a scientist found The Book of the Dead, which he had been looking for his entire life. After finding this book, he travels to a remote cabin somewhere in the United States and summons demons that possess any human beings in the area. Our brave hero Ash is unaware of this in the first Evil Dead and plays a tape recording…
Look at the photos and tell what kind of films they are.
War films
discussion
1. War films are important. They show people how terrible war is. After seeing a film about war, people will realize that war means death for a lot of people.
Work in groups. Discuss :
should we make or watch war films
2. War films are not very nice. They often show terrible things. We don’t need to see these things at the cinema.
3. People who like action films go to see war films. These people don’t change their minds about war after seeing the films. They are only there for the action, not the message.
Make a note of which opinion most of the people in the group agree with. Share the opinion in your discussion with the rest of the class.
Saving Private Ryan
Video
当百万大军登陆诺曼底海滩时,一小队由约翰·米勒中尉(汤姆·汉克斯饰演)率领的美军士兵却深入敌区,冒着生命危险拯救一名士兵詹姆斯·雷恩(麦特·戴蒙饰演)。詹姆斯·雷恩是家中四兄弟的老幺,他的三名兄长都在这次战役中相继阵亡。美国作战总指挥部的将领为了不让这位不幸的母亲再承受丧子之痛,决定派一支特别小分队,将她仅存的儿子安全地救出战区。 当小分队的士兵们陷入敌区,面对随时降临的各种危险,他们逐渐怀疑这项任务的合理性:为什么这个士兵就值得让八名士兵去冒死拯救?雷恩的一条命为何比他们的生命更有价值?但是,尽管他们疑惑,他们还是坚决执行上级的命令。 最后,雷恩活了下来,但那些去营救雷恩的八名士兵,全部壮烈牺牲。
