幸运的人
北方某大城市的省报上,刊登了一篇《有胆识骏马,无畏护良才》的文章,介绍电器厂党支部书记叶润芳尊重知识、尊重人才,大胆起用知识分子黄炎夫,使企业扭亏为盈的先进事迹。三轻局长梁正本看完报道,十分高兴,因为黄炎夫是他和叶润芳冒着丢官、坐牢的风险,保护多年的知识分子。黄炎夫去报考高级工程师,梁局长等人亲自送他赴考场答辩,并透露消息准备任命他当三轻局总工程师。不久,市委开始酝酿三轻局新领导班子人选,有消息传出梁局推荐叶润芳任局党委书记。当何处长征求叶润芳对局领导班子人选的看法时,她出人意料地推荐党外人士黄炎夫担任三轻局局长。在局系统召开的下属企业党政一把手座谈会上,梁局长热情地请黄炎夫讲话。谁知性格直爽、棱角分明的黄炎夫语出惊人,会场顿时一片沉寂,随后议论纷纷。他的话触动了许多企业领导,梁局长也微微皱起双眉。黄炎夫回到家中,妻子和女儿都责怪他不该在会议上冒炮。这使他回想起在十年动乱中经历的磨难。那次会议以后,一贯器重知识分子的梁局长对叶润芳和黄炎夫有了戒心。尤其是叶润芳在电视上接受记者采访的讲话,更加触怒了梁局长。他们受到厂内外舆论的猛烈攻击。黄炎夫面对现实,为了叶润芳能继续留在三轻局,向局里递交了辞职报告。梁局长面对他的辞职报告异常不安。叶润芳不顾个人得失,再次如实向上级机关反映了黄炎夫的情况,受到有关领导的重视。在省委会议室,省长告诉梁局长,黄炎夫已被提名为副省长候选人,准备交省人大会议讨论。对此结局,梁局长、叶润芳和黄炎夫感慨万千。
天才反击
Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked. I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.  This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).  It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the girl-nerd who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, Everybody Wants to Rule the World providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes really now, what's there to be embarrassed about
执斧人
影片改编自出生于法国的波兰诗人、作家爱德华•斯塔胡拉(Edward Stachura;1937年8月18日~1979年7月24日)发表于1971年的小说《执斧人或冬季的森林人》(Siekierezada albo zima leśnych ludzi)。  敏感的年轻诗人雅内克不能再接受口是心非的人和虚伪的世界,已经在世界上找不到自己的位置。他很想能有一个与他熟知的世界根本不同的地方来充实他的生活,于是他应了林务招聘,将他的全部财产装在袋子里背在身后,到深山老林当了一名冬季临时伐木工。林场里空气清新,采伐工人虽性格不一,但跟城里人不同个个坦诚友好,他很快和他们交上了朋友。他也越来越相信“苹果树枝会在纯洁的土地上和心灵里双开花”(他的人生哲理)。尽管每个晚上都要被爱情创伤的噩梦惊醒,他还是盼望在这个纯朴的劳动者的圈子里也许会找到他所期待的东西,直到发生了改变了他想法的一件事——  一个老实巴交的执斧人借着喝高了伏特加,用伐木的斧子砍翻了小酒馆的餐桌,以发泄妻子对他不忠的不满。  这件事触痛了他的神经,他决定告别林场。途中,自从来到森林里白天不再出现的幻觉又重新浮现在了他的脑海,只是这次不同,爱的天使犹如一具带着面具的美丽僵尸。  一辆呼啸进山的窄轨火车迎面驶来。周游世界的机会终于来临!他扔下装在袋子里的全部家当,只身一人去一个比他所有生活过的地方更加冷冰冰白皑皑的世界去追求他的人生哲学。
