狂暴
回复 :Eric Braeden stars as Dr. Charles Forbin, who has created a supercomputer named Colossus, built solely for the purpose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance. It isn't too long after, however, that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar computer for those same purposes on their side--Guardian. And when the two machines begin sharing information at a speed nobody can believe, an attempt is made to disable them.This unfortunately just raises the machines' ire; and in retaliation, they launch their weapons at each other's home nations. The result is a chilling scenario that is potentially becoming all too real these days.COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons. One is that its cast wasn't exactly well known. Another reason is that its ending isn't exactly a happy one. Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to promote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The latter reason is obvious: Colossus and Guardian, like HAL in the Kubrick movie, become central characters here. The difference here is that while HAL malfunctions due to a programming conflict, Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable, convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to protect Mankind better than Man himself. As the computers point out: "One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy."Joseph Sargent's direction is efficient, and the special effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work despite its obvious age. An overlooked gem in the sci-fi genre, this should be given a revival.

回复 :威尔·史密斯饰演真实历史人物:饱受折磨后逃出美国南方奴隶主奴役的黑人彼得、美国奴隶制的著名“证据”照片的主人公。影片风格被描述为比起《为奴十二年》,更像梅尔·吉布森执导的《启示录》,Willam N. Collage写剧本,故事来自彼得的真实经历:他从奴隶主手中逃出,忍受着冷血的猎人的追杀和路易斯安那州危险的沼泽,一路向北。而当逃到北方军中,接受检查时,彼得露出了自己被种植园中的监工鞭笞得累累伤痕的后背。这一幕被拍成了著名的照片“被鞭打的脊背”(the scourged back),刊登在1863年5月的《Independent》,以及当年7月4日的《Harper’s Weekly》。该照片成为美国奴隶制残忍暴行的证据之一,发布后推动了废奴运动和促使许多自由的黑人加入联邦军,并流传到世界各地,传言称这张照片使得法国等国家拒绝从美国南方购买棉花。
