由奥斯卡和金马奖获奖团队历时4年打造的院线纪录电影《善良的天使》旨在国际语境下,以历史的眼光和全球的视野,用智慧、包容和前瞻性的思维来探讨中美关系的未来。影片由两届奥斯卡获奖导演Malcolm Clarke执导,美国知名制片人William Mundell先生和金马奖获奖制片人韩轶女士联合制片。 影片以亨利·基辛格博士回忆与周恩来总理关于中美差异的对话开场,集聚了全球知名学者、政要,包括另外两位美国前国务卿:詹姆士·贝克、玛德琳·奥尔布赖特;前北约最高司令韦斯利·克拉克、澳大利亚前总理陆克文等;中国的前人大常委会副委员长、经济学家成思危、香港特别行政区前行政长官董建华、恒隆集团主席陈启宗、《超限战》作者乔良将军等。他们各自表达了对中美关系的期望、乐观的态度和谨慎的担忧,并认同增加中美之间共识和互信的深远意义。 同时,《善良的天使》还拍摄了一群为了彼此靠得更近而不断努力跨越两国之间地域和文化差异的美国人和中国人。他们中有教育工作者、企业家、农民、工人、电影大亨、小城市的市长等等。从他们的故事中我们看到中美两国在各个层次和领域之间已经存在、并且可以实现更多的相互了解和学习,来加强彼此已有的纽带,缔结新的友谊。

Prisoner of Paradise (2003)
Prisoner of Paradise Douban
Malcolm Clarke / Stuart Sender actor: Ian Holm / Robby Lantz …
other title: 天堂的囚徒
I loved this film for it's brave portrait of a character who made a morally ambiguous choice. The filmmakers allowed the story to unfold and give the audience credit for being able to come to their won conclusions about what they think of what Kurt Gerron did. It is the first time I have seen a film set against the holocaust that went beyond the horror stories we are already familiar with and examines a victim of nazi atrocities who in a strange way became a part of the propaganda machine. I think everyone should see this beautifully made film!
