11、管过去一年中的电影有不少是与悼亡有关的，比如信使、兄弟、可爱的骨头、以及皮克斯的飞屋环游记，甚至还有佩德罗·阿尔莫多瓦自己的破碎的拥抱（剧中的电影导演在自己的女主演去世15年之后依然爱着她），但是这位独具风格的西班牙导演所拍的爱而生悲的最优美篇章，无疑是唤醒梦中人这部爱情与死亡交织在一起的故事片。两个女子女斗牛士莉迪亚和女舞蹈演员阿丽西亚在马德里的某个医院里双双处于昏迷之中；两个男人莉迪亚的男友马克和阿丽西亚的男护士本尼诺殷勤地守在她们身边奉献着自己的爱意，为她们清洗，跟她们谈心。你可以把这称为最纯粹最无私的那种爱，也可以说这两个男人都把自己的女人理想化了，因为她们已经固化成了一个符

16、st vital filmmaker. 贫民窟的百万富翁/ Slumdog Millionaire(2008) 苦中作乐是许多优秀电影的特点。影片的故事不必有大量多愁善感的乐观主义，只需讲述为改变现实而奋斗的经历。假如你能讲得活灵活现，那么电影就成功了。这也是这部英印合拍的传奇故事的关键所在。影片讲述了一个男孩在极度贫困中与哥哥一起长大，因为爱上一个更不幸的女孩，他成为印度版“谁想成为百万富翁”节目的选手。西蒙·比尤弗伊的剧本以倒叙方式描写了这三个孩子的生活，折射出印度在过去15年之间纷杂动荡的历史。正如巨富与赤贫共存于孟买，丹尼·博伊尔的这部快节奏

20、re Academy gave it a big hug too. 卧虎藏龙/ Crouching Tiger, HiddenDragon (2000) 正如贫民窟的百万富翁一样，这部电影的导演也是在西方成名之后，又到亚洲寻找宝藏。不过对于李安来说，这至少算是返回故乡：他生长在台湾，后来才来到伊利诺伊州上大学，并靠喜宴和理智与感情获得声誉。通过与明星阵容（周润发，杨紫琼，张震和程佩佩）的合作，以及杰出武打设计师袁和平的加盟（他是本片中真正的“藏龙”），李安巧妙糅合了东方武术的灵巧与西方表演的强度，使得高雅的艺术和高昂的精神在精妙情节的起伏中完美结合。作为冲击力十足的好影

21、片，卧虎藏龙是历史上北美总收入最高的外语电影（如果讲阿拉姆语和拉丁语的耶稣受难记不算外语片的话）。 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) As with Slumdog Millionaire, so too here: a director who made hisreputation in the West plunders the genre treasures of Asia.At least for Ang Lee it was a homecoming: he was born and raised in Taiwan before going

24、e Passion of the Christ. 红磨坊/ Moulin Rouge! (2001) 在巴兹·鲁尔曼拍摄这部影片之前，音乐剧这种曾经辉煌的电影形式已经沉寂了二十多年。他用自己的想象力给音乐剧打了一针强心剂，而并不是简单地复原它。这部电影是第42街和茶花女的结合，里面由妮可·基德曼扮演的夜总会歌女，在观众头上荡着秋千唱“钻石是女孩的最好朋友”的样子，让人想起梦露和麦当娜。伊万·麦克格雷格扮演爱上这个歌女的穷作家，则活脱脱是个新的金凯利健壮潇洒，笑容灿烂，像一个美国人在巴黎那样念念不忘左岸，像雨中曲那样挥舞着雨伞。充满激情的合唱

25、队哼着“今晚和我去红磨坊”表演康康舞。一段类似“印度的春天”的歌舞，向印度宝莱坞音乐剧表示了充分的致意，眼花缭乱得令人晕眩。通过把浪漫与扭曲混和到一起，加上米高梅与MTV风格的歌曲，以及两位风华正茂的明星，鲁尔曼为我们创造了一部红色狂想曲，一部怀旧而又时尚的音乐剧。 Moulin Rouge! (2001) From left to right, John Leguizamo, Garry McDonald, MatthewWhittet, Jim Broadbent, Nicole Kidman and Jacek Koman in Mouli

30、它是一部惊心动魄的战争片，描写的是2005年一个美军炸弹拆除小分队在伊拉克的故事。马克·波尔的剧本张力十足，核心情节是一名言语不多的士兵（杰瑞米·雷纳扮演，非常出色）坚持做他的本职工作，也就是让巴格达的各个角落不要发生爆炸。这部电影在2008年九月的威尼斯电影节上首映，过了一段时间才在美国国内引起注意。到了年底，这部电影及其导演凯瑟琳·毕格罗广受评论家的褒奖。如果她最终能成为第一名获得奥斯卡最佳导演奖的女性（并击败她的前夫詹姆斯·卡梅隆），那也是一件挺美好的事。 The Hurt Locker (2009) Jeremy Renner stars in
