《辛普森一家》(The Simpsons)是美国福克斯广播公司的一部动画情景喜剧,由马特·格勒宁创作。该剧通过展现霍默、玛琦、巴特、莉萨和玛吉一家五口的生活,讽刺性地勾勒出了居住在美国心脏地带人们的生活方式。空间设定于虚构小镇春田镇的《辛普森一家》,从许多角度对美国的文化与社会、人的条件和电视本身进行了幽默的嘲讽。
为了给制片人詹姆斯·L·布鲁克斯制作一出动画短剧,马特·格勒宁构思出了辛普森一家人的形象。格勒宁用自己家族成员的名字逐一地给他们命名,而自己的名字则用“巴特”替代。1987年4月19日,短剧成为了《特蕾西·厄尔曼秀》的一部分。在播映三季后,《辛普森一家》得以转正进入半小时的黄金时段,并成为了福克斯在早期达成的成功之一。
自1989年12月17日的首次播出开始,2007年5月20日播出的第18季末集,是这部动画的第400集;同时,2007年亦是该剧播出的20周年纪念。于2007年7月26日和7月27日在全球上映的《辛普森一家大电影》,至今已获得约 5.253亿美元的票房收入。
从作为一部电视剧制播以来,《辛普森一家》赢取了大量的奖项;其中包括23次艾美奖、24次安妮奖和1次皮博迪奖。1999年12月31日期的《时代》杂志将其评为20世纪最优秀的电视剧作;2000年1月14日,《辛普森一家》的星星被刻在了好莱坞星光大道上。作为美国历史上最长寿的情景喜剧及动画节目,《辛普森一家》对流行文化产生了极大的影响:譬如霍默·辛普森懊恼时的咕哝声“D'oh!”便被英语词典所收录;同时此剧亦对许多面向成人的动画情景喜剧产生了影响。
Soul Power (2008) [Movie] Douban TMDB IMDb WikiData
Soul Power
director: 杰弗里·莱维-信特 actor: 穆罕默德·阿里 / James Brown
other title: 灵歌势力 / 소울 파워
This movie is a selection from many hours of footage produced before and during the music festival that was to accompany "The Rumble in the Jungle" - the heavyweight championship fight between Ali and Foreman in '74. The festival was meant to bring the American soul/r&b/funk/blues musicians "back home" to Africa and give them the opportunity to perform alongside African stars, such as Miriam Makeba. The movie is centered on James Brown, the main star of the three-day festival. It is more about the event as such, its "technical" background, than about schoolbook history. Even then, it leaves a lot of ambiguities open for the viewers to see. We hear Ali comment on the peaceful life Zairians lead while American blacks are ever threatened by accidents or (white) hatred. But this peaceful life is controlled by the government that urges the people to love their dictator. Although this movie doesn't deal with the political tensions involved in this Zairian sojourn, the implications are there. One thing that some viewers might not like is that "Soul Power" leaves little room for the African artists, focusing instead on the American greats like Brown or B.B. King. Another is that it's so short - King has only one feature, Brown has no more than three. At the Berlin IFF (Berlinale), the director (or editor, as the movie is simply made up of footage produced over 30 years ago) explained that he couldn't afford more than he did; also, some of the performances at the festival were of lower quality. As it is, the songs that we hear in "Soul Power" are beautifully shot - and finely recorded. At any rate, this movie is worth watching. It's interesting and it's funny. Go see for yourself!
