开篇通过情景再现独立战争的经典场面,假设了华盛顿死于战争等情况下美国将何去何从。在长久以来的观念中,美国作为世界上唯一的超级大国成为世界人民心驰神往的理想国度,而美国梦则帮助一代又一代的普通民众走向成功,梦想成真。但是外表华丽的美利坚却有着永远无法洗刷的原罪,窃取土地、窃取劳动、窃取资源等等,是许多学者和平民对这个咄咄逼人的帝国最强烈的指控。本片导演Dinesh D’Souza通过采访和史料,试图推翻上述有失偏颇的指控,进而指出真正让美利坚之梦破碎的恰恰是奥巴马、希拉里及其背后的少数利益既得者。孰是孰非,莫衷一是,或许不过又是一场纸牌屋的博弈…… Dinesh D’Souza是一名印度裔美国人,他曾导演纪录片《2016:奥巴马的美国》试图影响2012年的大选。。迷你世界探险队,是一支勇敢的队伍,他们穿梭在迷你世界各个角落,完成各种探查任务。Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date.
The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer.
The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。
