太古狂魔

Catherine is a servant girl working for the local mayor and victim of the sharp tongues of the mayor's wife and her friends. This is made clear in a first scene where she is asked to get the key of the mayor's desk at a cultural party the wife is attending. She is harassed by the whole elite who dislike the intrusion of the maid. In this scene it's made clear also that the wife has a secret lover who will later challenge the mayor's political career and will use Catherine as a scapegoat for his own ambitions. This role of "bad guy" is played by Renoir himself. The mayor who is fond of Catherine and is afraid that she'll be more victimized by his wife asks his sister to give Catherine a position in her own household. The sister has a son with tuberculosis (role played by Dieudonné). He's so weak he has no success with women of his class but of course Catherine will like instantly this fragile man. He dies after kissing Catherine while the rest of the town is celebrating carnival. The kissing scene at the window mixed with the fireworks is a brilliant moment of silent melodrama. Catherine is in mourning and because of that driven away by the mayor's wife and her friends. It is indecent that a servant girl is in mourning and shows public affection for someone who is not from her own social status. The emotions of Catherine are the element of disorder in the social ordered world of the rich. Catherine goes away and hides in a cheap hotel in the city where she is also bullied by a local pimp who sees in her an easy target to exploit. By accident Catherine is seen in the hotel window with the pimp, so more reason for gossip by the elite. When she returns to the village looking for a job she is rejected everywhere, even by the local Christian relief organization of which the mayor's wife became president. She meets the mayor again who is shocked by the attitude of the town, takes her in his home again and promotes her to his secretary. The wife is furious of course and leaves her husband to live with her mother. It is start of a slander campaign against the political credibility of the mayor. The lover of the mayor's wife sees what is happening as a golden opportunity and makes a public attack on the moral character of the mayor (what's new under the sun?) Catherine wants to avoid the downfall of her protector and leaves the mayor, explaining herself in a note. She hides in an old tram for the rain while the mayor is driving around in his car frantically looking for the girl. Two vagabonds are thrown out of a pub and out of frustration push the tram car, so it starts a crazy race up and down the hills towards the bridge and the valley abyss. Catherine is already accepting her death but is saved in time by the mayor who has made his choice for the girl. The social implications of his choice are not shown but are clear for all. 故事发生(shēng )在新年(🐊)来(lái )临(lí(📸)n )之夜，传(chuá(🕴)n )说每年的(🚐)这(zhè )个夜(🐳)晚，死(sǐ )神(😒)就会来到(📲)人间挑(tiā(🦁)o )选一个罪(🗨)孽(niè )深重(🐢)的人(rén )来(🛏)(lái )驾(💙)驶他(♎)的(de )马(🔊)车。这(🌞)次(cì(🍘) )被选(♑)到的(⤵)是(shì(🤓) )个抛(🗡)妻弃(🔔)子又(🈴)嗜酒(jiǔ )如(🚍)命的流浪(🔶)(làng )汉，在流(🍹)(liú )浪汉由于自(zì )己的作风问(wèn )题而即将被夺走生(shēng )命时，一个(gè )孱弱的修女(nǚ )用基督之(zhī )爱拯救了他(tā ) Desert Sky Air Force Base is instructed to carry out an urgent mission. Petey, a new fighter plane, arrives by forced landing. Petey is determined to carry out the most important task by himself and rescue his best friend. A stern indictment of the shabby ways in which society treats it recovering ex-criminal class, Die Verrufenene follows the saga of an engineer recently sprung from prison as he attempts to rebuild his life. Having served out his three-year sentence, Robert Kramer embarks on getting back to work and living a clean, honest life. He finds that getting back into society is more difficult than he bargained for, however, when he is shunned by his father and the wealthy family of his ex-fiancee, Gerda. Scraping by in the city slum, working for an indifferent rag maker who prefers to pay in booze over cash, the dejected Robert decides to end it all. He's saved, however, by a kind-hearted prostitute named Emma, who shelters the man in the modest apartment she shares with her ne'er-do-well brother, Gustav. Eventually, Robert starts to patch his life back together through the help of Emma (who becomes enamoured with Robert) and a generous old photographer who employs him as an assistant. His world gets upended once again, however, when Gustav is implicated in the murder of one of Emma's clients. In Nerven, writer-director-producer Robert Reinert tried to capture the "nervous epidemic" caused by war and misery which "drives people mad". This unique portrait of the life in 1919 Germany, filmed on location in Munich, describes the cases of different people from all levels of society: Factory owner Roloff who looses his mind in view of catastrophies and social disturbances, teacher John who is the hero of the masses and Marja who turns into a radical revolutionary. Using different fragments the Munich Film Museum could reconstruct this forgotten German classic which is a historic document and anticipates already elements of the Expressionist cinema of the 1920s. PATRIA (pronounced PAY-tree-uh), a 15-episode "preparedness serial" filmed by the Whartons in Ithaca, New York, in 1916, cast the Japanese, with whom we were not at war, as the villains in a spy story. Warner "Charlie Chan" Oland plays the chief villain, Baron Huroki, who is determined to gain munitions factory and "defense fund" heiress Patria Channing's vast wealth for Japan. 一场火车对(🎪)(duì )撞的惨(🚺)剧夺去131名(🗂)乘(chéng )客的(💔)性命，大卫(🐍)•杜(dù )恩(🍸)(ēn )（Bruce Willis 布鲁(🔤)斯(sī )•威(⏩)利斯 饰(shì(🏤) )）奇迹般(📬)地(dì )成为(🐼)这场(🏥)灾难(🌟)过后(👙)(hòu )的(🌋)唯一(📋)幸存(🔙)(cún )者(🗿)，且浑(㊙)(hún )身(🔄)上下毫发(👠)(fā )无伤。在(♎)他(tā )参加(📭)遇难者(zhě(🧒) )追悼会之后，他在(zài )车窗上发现(xiàn )一张神秘(mì )便条，写道(dào )：“你这一(yī )生生过几次病？” The story is about two couples, one whose the marriage - and the baby - are hidden to the husband's father.
