    Investigate the Movie

    调查影片

    Seems like a dream job, doesn't it? Free movies, probably even free popcorn. But before a movie critic goes to an advance screening of a movie or watches the complimentary DVD, he needs the facts. Who produced the movie, directed it, starred in it? Who wrote the screenplay? Was it adapted from a novel, and if so, who wrote the novel? What is the movie's genre--mystery, comedy, drama?

    看起来貌似是个梦想职业,不是吗?免费看电影,难说还有免费的爆米花.但是影评人在电影预演或看赠送的DVD之前,他需要先了解影片本身.影片的制片人,导演和主演是谁?谁写的剧本?是不是改编自某部小说,如果是的话,谁写的小说?影片是什么风格,是神秘片,喜剧片还是故事片?

    Understand the movie

    理解影片

    First, the movie critic watches the movie for pure understanding. He wants to be able to sum up its message or overall theme in a sentence or two, such as, "This is a coming-of-age movie set in the South during the Civil Rights movement, portraying racial tension of the time." This condensed review may be the only thing some potential viewers read. Think of Roger Ebert's One Minute Movie Reviews.

    首先,影评家为了单纯的理解这部影片而观影.他要试着用一到两句话总结影片想传达的信息或者是主题,比如"这部讲述一个青少年长大成人过程的影片以南方的民权运动为背景,描画了当时种族纷争的紧张形势."<<一分钟影评>>的作者罗杰艾伯特认为,这种简洁的评论可能是某些潜在观众能读到的唯一东西.

    Experience the Movie

    感受影片

    A good movie critic reviews the movie on its own terms. If it is a comical farce, and even if he hates comical farces, the critic needs to review it as it compares to others in that genre, and as it will be appreciated by fans of the genre. He looks at the performances as representative of comical farce performances, not those found in Shakespearean dramas.

    一个好的影评家应该在影片的领域之内评论电影.如果这是一部商业搞笑剧,即使这个影评人讨厌商业搞笑剧,他也应该把这部剧和这一风格的其他影片相互比较,把它当成可能会被喜欢这个风格的粉丝所喜爱来评论它.他应该把影片中的表演看做是商业搞笑剧的表演,而不是莎士比亚戏剧里的表演.

    Analyze the Movie's Fine Points

    分析电影的五个关键点

    When it comes to technical excellence, a movie critic may notice different things than you or I do. He looks for excellence in direction, lighting, editing and special effects and how those elements helped or hurt the movie. He is critical of costuming, makeup and historical accuracy. He sees many more movies than the average moviegoer, so he has a vast database of comparisons. He is paid to be knowledgeable about all areas of movie-making expertise.

    关于影片技术性上是否杰出,影评家们有可能关注的是和你我不同的事物. 他关心的是影片的角度,灯光,编辑,特效以及这些元素对影片造成的影响是好还是坏.他对服装,造型和历史准确性是挑剔苛刻的.他比任何一个普通影迷看的电影都要多,所以他有丰富的数据库用来对比影片.他靠在所有和电影制作相关的专业知识上的渊博学识吃饭.

    Rate the Movie

    给影片评分

    What the critic thinks and what the public wants can be wildly different. He may look for cutting-edge drama, jarring film techniques, shocking world views. Let's face it, if it's bizarre and outlandish, he'll have something new to say. He does not want to able to predict the outcome, especially if it's a happy ending. The public, on the other hand, votes at the box office, and proves again and again that it likes wholesome, enjoyable, family friendly entertainment.

    影评家的想法可能和大众所需大相径庭. 他寻找的可能是创新的故事片,刺激的电影技术,又或者是令人震惊的世界观.让我们面对现实吧,如果影片滑稽又古怪,他就能有点新说头.他不愿意预知事态发展,尤其是当结局是大团圆的情况下.然而票房一次又一次的证明,大众喜欢的是有益身心健康的,令人愉快的,适合家庭观看的友好娱乐.

    Critics have to guard against promoting dark, somber or violent movies just because they're different. Moviegoers don't want to shell out $40 for the family to be terrorized or depressed. Whether it's stars or thumbs, movie ratings are there to help the public find the movies they'll enjoy.

    影评人必须保卫那些黑暗,阴沉又或暴力的电影因为它们是另类的.影迷们不愿意花40美元把一家人都吓死或者郁闷死.不管是用的星级还是大拇指,影片评分都是在帮助大众找出他们喜欢的片子.

    Respect the Moviegoer

    尊重影迷

    Roger Ebert, the noted movie critic, says his job is to respect the moviegoer's time and money. And he might have added, respect her intelligence. In his blog post, Roger's Little Rule Book, he talks about freebies and perks critics get--and should refuse--and says critics should "advise the readers well," and "provide a sense of the experience."

    前面提到的影评家罗杰艾伯特说,他的工作是为了尊重影迷的时间和金钱.他也许还该加上,尊重她们的智商.在他的博客帖子<<罗杰规则小册>>里,他谈到影评家应该拒绝免费赠品和外快,并认为影评家们应该"给读者提出正确的忠告",并且"提供阅历丰富的智慧".
