英语演讲-2017年值得一看的十大电影(Ten Filmsto Watch in 2017)

1、_Ten Films to Watch in 2017I Am Not Your Negro 我不是你的黑鬼Inspired by an unfinished James Baldwin book about the assassinations of black leaders in the 1960s, Raoul Pecks documentary brings Baldwin, who died in 1987, into the 21st Century, where his scorching appraisal of the history of race in the US i

2、s, unfortunately, as timely as ever. Drawing from decades of Baldwins writing and public statements although rarely touching Baldwins work on sexuality the movie is less a summary than a sance, with Samuel L Jacksons impassioned narration all but bringing him back to life. Peck intercuts footage of

3、the Ferguson protests to underline how relevant Baldwin remains, but in a world in which the basic humanity of people of colour is under attack, the continued vitality of Baldwins ideas is already unassailable. Get Out 我不是你的黑鬼 Described as “Rosemarys Baby meets The Help” or, alternatively, a cross b

4、etween Guess Whos Coming to Dinner and The Stepford Wives the big-screen writing/directing debut of Key & Peeles Jordan Peele is a horror thriller about a black man who discovers that his white girlfriends parents are involved in a sinister conspiracy to keep their wealthy suburb racially monoch

5、rome. Get Out starts with a premise befitting a solid Twilight Zone episode, but at least to judge from its trailer, things start to get truly nuts after that. Mainstream horror has been suffering from a lack of ingenuity, but a great comedy writer turning his skills to the genre could give it just

6、the boost it needs. Personal Shopper 私人采购员 The Kristen Stewarts renaissance continues with Olivier Assayas lyrical, unnerving story about a celebrity factotum obsessed with trying to communicate with her dead twin brother. Apart from the engrossing stillness of Stewarts performance, the movies most

7、intriguing aspect is the way it plays the supernatural completely straight, as if its a given that the spirits of those who have passed on regularly lurk around the edges of otherwise realist dramas. Like Assayas and Stewarts Clouds of Sils Maria, its a movie that takes mystery for granted, an appro

8、ach that allows her to inhabit her character rather than having her drive the plot, and the less she does, the more fascinating a performer she becomes. The Beguiled 牡丹花下 Its hard to envision a stranger match-up than Sofia Coppola and the Western genre, but thats just what makes this remake of a Don

9、 Siegel/Clint Eastwood oater so intriguing. Although its set during the Civil War, the story of a wounded Union soldier (Colin Farrell) who seeks shelter in a Confederate girls school is a seduction at heart, and the photos from Coppolas set suggest shes doubling down on the originals languorousness

10、. Its hard to imagine how Coppolas take on this most masculine of genres might turn out, but thats whats exciting about it. Dunkirk 敦刻尔克 Christopher Nolans dedication to old-school techniques may strike some as pure Luddism, but an epic battle movie shot on 65mm celluloid and relying on practical ef

11、fects is enough of a dwindling rarity that every remaining instance is cause for celebration. Although comparisons to Saving Private Ryan will be inevitable, Dunkirk is not about an Allied military victory but the mass evacuation of more than 300,000 soldiers from a French beach, which is an atypica

12、l subject for a film of this massive scale. Its long been said including of Private Ryan that its impossible to make a combat movie thats truly anti-war, but telling a story about escape rather than engagement might be a way to finally solve that conundrum.The Snowman Its been five long years since

13、Tomas Alfredsons stylishly grungy Cold War thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but this adaptation of Jo Nesbs murder mystery sounds like it might be worth the wait. Michael Fassbender stars as a detective on the trail of what may be Norways first serial killer, with Rebecca Ferguson as a like-minde

14、d detective and a cast that also includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, JK Simmons and Val Kilmer. Its a bit odd to have Alfredson returning to his native Scandinavia with an English-speaking cast in tow, but itll be great to see what he does on familiarly chilly turf with a Hollywood-sized budget.Baby Driv

15、er 娃娃脸司机 Well never get to see Edgar Wrights Ant-Man, but with any luck, the action chops he honed preparing for that movie before Marvel replaced him for, in effect, trying to make an Edgar Wright movie will pay off in this story about a mute wheelman (Ansel Elgort) who uses music to guide his geta

16、way driving. Its the first time Wright, whos collaborated with Simon Pegg on most of his scripts, has gotten sole screenplay credit, which seems like the perfect way for him to declare his independence from the Marvel machine, and with a cast that also includes Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey,

17、 hes assembled a superhero group of his own.Thor: Ragnarok 雷神3：诸神黄昏 Expecting an auteur stamp on a Marvel movie is a mugs game, but call us mugs: the pairing of a Thor/Hulk “buddy movie” and director Taika Waititi could produce inspired results. Waititi, the Kiwi director known for comedies like Wha

18、t We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, brings much-needed levity to the Marvel Cinematic Universes most dour and unengaging subfranchise, and might even give Chris Hemsworth a chance to employ the comic chops he showed off in Ghostbusters and Vacation. Of course, it wont be all laughs

19、: the movies subtitle refers to Norse mythologys end of the world. But if Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo get to play Hope and Crosby along the way, maybe the journey to apocalypse wont be so bad after all. Star Wars: Episode VIII 星球大战8 Looper and Bricks Rian Johnson remains the most intriguing directori

20、al hire in the history of Star Wars, as well as the only person besides George Lucas to both write and direct one of the franchises movies. Its unlikely that the still-untitled Episode VIII will be as idiosyncratic as Johnsons The Brothers Bloom, but after JJ Abrams solid but unspectacular table-setting, this latest trilogy is on good footing to try something a little bit new. Hard details on the movie, naturally, are scarce, but if Abrams Spielberg-isms felt too familiar, Johnson could be the one to liven thi
