美国南北战争,白人军官罗伯特·古尔德萧(马修·布罗德里克 Matthew Broderick饰)在战斗中负伤,被一位名叫约翰·罗林斯(摩根·弗里曼 Morgan Freeman饰)的掘墓人发现送进了野战医院。在波士顿养病期间,罗伯特自愿接下了全部由黑人组成的“麻州第五十四兵团”指挥官的职务。然而面对种族歧视的严重偏见和白人同僚的冷嘲热讽,以及新兵瑞普(丹泽尔·华盛顿 Denzel Washington饰)的种种质疑,他毅然将一群从南方黑奴制度中脱逃至北方的乌合之众训练成一支纪律严明的部队。由他率领的黑人兵团“麻州第五十四兵团”,在南方的查尔斯坦战役中写下光辉的一页。然而罗伯特自己却在上战场攻坚时壮烈牺牲。 由知名奥斯卡获奖导演爱德华·兹维克执导的史诗战争影片《光荣》,根据美国南北战争中的真实事件改编而成。本片以对作战场面触目惊心地描写和对黑人受虐惨况催人泪下地刻画,赢得1990年第62届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男配角、最佳摄影、最佳音响等多项大奖。尚未成名的丹泽尔·华盛顿更凭借此片一同收获1990年第47届金球奖最佳男配角。
Based on the internationally acclaimed Tudor murder mystery novels by C.J. Sansom, the four-part drama is set in 16th century England during the dissolution of the monasteries. The series will follow the story of Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer with an acute sense of justice and one of the few honest men in a world beset with scheming and plots. Shardlake works for Thomas Cromwell, the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. Despite Shardlake’s unwavering loyalty to Cromwell and the Crown, his position in society is unfavored due to his appearance, as a person living with scoliosis during the Tudor period, suffering the indignity of being abused as a “crookback” wherever he turns. As he investigates the murder of one of Cromwell’s commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea, he is accompanied by Jack Barak, a cocky and good-looking character who may be Cromwell’s spy.
Nothing is more frightening, as the narrator points out, than a ‘time-rich nosy person’. Exhibit A is Ahn Geo-ul (Gyeong Su-jin), who commits herself to social justice causes with terrifying tenacity. After temporarily renting a unit in the Baek-sae Apartment building, she discovers that a loud, hard to locate banging noise occurs from 4am every night, making the residents’ lives an insomniac hell – and so she determines to engage in her own disruption and to find the culprit of this acoustic assault, simultaneously eliminating her eccentric neighbours as suspects, and recruiting them to her cause. Focusing on a woman who is an unstoppable force for good, it is also a plea for community cohesion and solidarity.
