Para2:brief summary of the plot 电影情节简介
评
P3.The film deals with the theme of appearances in a very interesting and clever manner. In one vivid scene, Beauty looks in the mirror and her face is transformed into the Beast's.
这部电影以一种非常有趣和巧妙的方式处理了外表的主题。在一个生动的场景中,美女照镜子,她的脸变成了野兽的脸。
deal with处理,涉及
评
The film also uses some clever special effects. For example, the whispering furniture is as frightening as anything in modern films. The film does, however, have its faults. The voice of the Beast is rather strange, and the lovers flying at the end is a bit silly.
这部电影还使用了一些巧妙的特效。举个例子,那些低声说话的家具就像现代电影中的东西一样可怕。然而,这部电影也有它的缺点。野兽的声音相当奇怪,而这对恋人在结尾又飞了过来了,结尾有点傻。
评
All things considered, though, it must be one of the most beautiful and splendid films ever made. Although it is in black and white, the striking use of light makes it seem at times like a moving painting.
但综合考虑,然而这是必须的成为有史以来最美丽、最精彩的电影之一。虽然它是黑白的,但光线的惊人的运用,使它有时看起来像一幅移动的画。
in black and white 黑白分明;白纸黑字
Para3:attractive scenes and/or drawbacks亮点镜头/败笔
评
P4.Beauty and the Beast conveys a message that should be clear to all of us — you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Although it has neither cute characters nor wonderful songs in this version, it speaks to people of all ages. I recommend it for the whole family.
《美女与野兽》传达了一个理应如此的信息我们都很清楚,你不应该以貌取人。虽然在这个版本里,的它既没有可爱的角色也没有很棒的歌曲,它可以与所有年龄的人对话。我向全家人推荐了它。

Hearing that you are interested in films, so I’m writting to recommend the cartoon Ne Zha to you, which is based on the novel Feng ShenYanYi. Directed by Yang Yu, it has become a hit.

问候语+写信目的
I highly recommend this film for several reasons. First of all, it is clear that the director greatly changes the plot because people used to think Ne Zha gives in to his fate. However, in the film, he fights against his unfair fate for liberty although he goes through a series of difficulties. What’s more, his famous line in the film attracts and holds the attention of the audience. That is “My fate is in my hand, not in the god’s.” Last but not least, the film uses some special effects with the purpose of creating him as a hero.
