故事梗概： 二战期间，八名美国士兵在寻找安全庇护所时无意间来到了一座城堡前，这座位于比利时名为马多雷的城堡拥有几百年的历史，有着极为丰富的艺术收藏品。城堡的主人伯爵允许美国士兵住在这里，但他不希望他们的到来给这座城堡带来厄运。 上校福尔克纳认为德军很快就要达到这里，他必须率领部下与德军作战，而不是继续逃亡。参军前原为艺术鉴赏家的贝克(听歌)曼上尉则和伯爵是一个态度：不能让战争毁了这座城堡和里面的艺术品。但福尔克纳上校已经做出决定，他要求士兵们随时做好作战准备，并在伯爵的配合下击毙了来此侦查的小股德军。 随着时间的推移，福尔克纳与伯爵夫人泰蕾兹产生了感情，并毫不避讳地住在一起。贝克曼无法理解伯爵对这件事情不闻不问的态度，在伯爵看来，艺术品远比这个嫁给他但并不忠于他的妻子重要。如果泰蕾兹能够说服福尔克纳改变在城堡作战的计划，伯爵将非常高兴。 附近村子里有家名叫红皇后(听歌)的妓院，士兵们经常会到这里寻找片刻的轻松和愉悦。眼看德军就要攻到这里，士兵们说服红皇后的妓女，将汽油倒在酒瓶中制作成简易燃烧弹，在德军进村时将会派上大用场。 贝克曼配合伯爵一起将艺术珍品藏在地下室，他痛恨战争，这些极具收藏价值的艺术品如果毁在战火中将是人类的一大损失。但贝克曼既无法阻止战争，又不能说服福尔克纳上校，只得默默地将珍品藏好，祈祷它们能够在战争中幸存。 战争打响了，福尔克纳上校带着部分士兵来到村中伏击敌人。妓女们按照事先的安排站在楼上吸引德军的注意，当坦克开到楼下时，她们将燃烧瓶投掷了下去。燃烧瓶摧毁了部分坦克，但并不能阻止敌军的入侵。福尔克纳上校命令大家躲进城堡，决定在此与敌人拼死一搏。 很快，德军来到了城堡前，大炮(听歌)摧毁了城堡外还没来得及移走的雕塑，伯爵试图阻止却起不到任何作用。痛苦的伯爵在战火中死去。福尔克纳上校命令士兵本杰明带着泰蕾兹从城堡后面逃走，并要求他确保泰蕾兹的安全。尽管心爱的人可能战死沙场，泰蕾兹不肯离开，但本杰明还是执行了福尔克纳上校的命令强行将她带走。 经过一场激烈的战争，福尔克纳上校和其他六名美军成员在战斗中丧生，只有本杰明和泰蕾兹幸存了下来。多年后，一直梦想成为作家的本杰明将这件事写成了一部小说，向世人讲述二战期间八名美国兵与马多雷城堡之间发生的故事。 精彩视点： 《城堡勇士》的导演和主演是好莱坞最出色的电影人之一。奥斯卡()最佳导演奖获得者西德尼·波拉克曾执导《走出非洲》、《往日情怀》、《翻译风波》等多部影片，是好莱坞最知名的导演之一。而本片的主演伯特·兰卡斯特则是第33届奥斯卡影帝，他出演的《乱世忠魂》、《南方英雄()》等影片都给观众留下了深刻的印象。一部由奥斯卡最佳导演奖获得者执导、影帝担任主角的影片，哪怕只有平凡的故事和平淡的情节，也会有其与众不同吸引人的一面，《城堡勇士》就是这样一部影片。

《父母心》是獨立電影人約翰．卡薩維蒂於六十年代遇上荷里活製片之產物。故事講及精神科醫生畢蘭加士打聘請了來自音樂學院的朱迪．格蘭，於兒童精神病院利用嶄新手法教導外界認為無可救助的精神病兒童吉娜．羅蘭茲。片中兒童皆來自加州其中一間兒童精神中心，將這班被遺忘的一群真實地呈現在觀眾面前。 都市人面對種種生活壓力，大量社會問題備受關注。當面對社會的陰暗面時，主流社會最初會以迴避的態度面對，而經過大量之社會運動、媒體報導等以令社會更多元、開放，以積極的態度去面對。這種社會心態轉變可能用上半個世紀，甚至更長時間。其中兒童問題從來都是一個敏感議題，而卡薩維蒂早在六十年代已利用光影之間揭示社會鮮為人知的一面，廣泛引起主流社會討論。 卡薩維蒂是一位極具才華的獨立電影導演，游走於荷里活製作和獨立電影之間，利用偏鋒路線打破固有荷里活電影記事模式，注重強烈的演員性格去反映現實社會。本片被評為卡氏最為大膽作品之一，其寫實性令人嘆為觀止，創新起用精神病兒童在作品中表演。深刻地勾勒出這批非主流兒童的困境，打破大眾對他們的形象。而憑藉這齣先驅作品，我們更可以反思現時香港社會在這方面的缺失。 As a result of co-operation between Cassavetes and Hollywood's producers, A Child is Waiting was shown in the 1960s. Burt Lancaster, a psychiatrist, hires Judy Garland to work at a psychiatric facility for children. Garland uses an innovative method to teach a mentally retarded child, Gena Rowland, who the world has turned its back on. Patients in the film were from a real life psychiatric institution, where this group of forsaken children was being honestly presented to the audience. City life is filled with all sorts of stress and problems. When facing the dark side of society, the mainstream community usually takes refuge in escapism. It is only after waves of social movements and media coverage that the people's attitudes about these problems would change and that they would take affirmative action about it. This process might take half century or longer. Children issue has always been a sensitive subject, yet Cassavetes has already chosen to show its untold stories in his film in the early sixties to arouse public discussion. Cassavetes was a talented independent filmmaker who also engaged in Hollywood productions. His works emphasized on his actors, and through their characters, instead of traditional storytelling techniques, explored the realities of society. This film was hailed as the most daring piece of Cassavetes' works. Its realism was praised, especially of his inclusion of real life patients. The patients' difficulties were profoundly illustrated so as to eradicate the public's prejudice against them. From this avant-garde work, we can even reconsider the situation of these issues in Hong Kong. source: Hong Kong Arts Centre

Mike Ribble was once a great trapeze artist - and the only to have completed a triple somersault - before his accident. Tino joins the circus, and manages to covince Mike to teach him the 'triple'. Meanwhile Lola, a tumbler, wants to get in on the act. Written by Colin Tinto {[email protected]} --------------------------------------------- Tino Orsini has learned the trapeze from his father but he travels to Europe to seek out Mike Ribble, one of the few men who has managed to complete a triple somersault. Ribble no longer works the trapeze and now walks with a cane after a nasty fall left him a cripple. Orsini convinces him to act as his catcher and all is well until the gold digging Lola, who'll do just about anything to become part of a major circus act, arrives on the scene. Her presence creates friction between the two men and puts in doubt whether Tino will ever accomplish the elusive triple. Written by garykmcd --------------------------------------------- Mike Ribble was the sixth trapeze artist ever to complete an almost impossible triple somersault. Naturally gifted Tino Orsini wants to be the seventh, if he can only persuade a retired Ribble to teach him how and to be his catcher. Ribble retired from the high flying following his trapeze accident, which not only broke his body - he now walks with a limp and a cane - but more importantly his spirit. Orsini's enthusiasm eventually brings Ribble's spirit back to life. "Ribble & Orsini" become the talk of the circus as they work on the triple somersault. However, Lola, a acrobat in the same circus, will do whatever she needs to do to make sure the circus spotlight is solely on her. Written by Huggo
