介绍:
Al: Hi,there buddies~This is your old friend, Alexa. Welcome back to this week’s Movie &Music. We’re here to bring you some of the most fantastic songs or movies that have been specifically chosen for you.
Au:Hi,guys!I'm a newbie named Audrey from biotechnology. Well, it's obvious I share the name with the angle, Audrey Hepburn, who is my goddess. It's terrific for me to join m&m,a cute family which has pretty boys and girls. Wish all of you have a good time today!
C:Hi you,Carl speaking~
P:Hey,man.It is pretty nice to be heard by you again.This is your pal,Phoebe.I firmly believe that you guys will have a cozy week in our company.
Al:Okay,first, let’s jump into the movie part. Today, the movie we recommend is called Now You See Me, the second episode. It has been put on show for several months. But it is too good for you guys to miss. One appealing spot about this movie is that Jay Zhou, a very famous Chinese pop singer is in it too. Isn’t that excited for all the Chinese fans?
P: Absolutely!Jay Chou is always charming in his way though he’s 37 years old now.To tell you the truth,I think the movie is just prepared for him.Jay is devoted to magic show,which has been known to every household,and the film Now You See Me takes magic as the main content.One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, The Four Horsemen resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than Walter Mabry, a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.Well...I was just astounded by the excellence of magic after watching it.
Al: Wow,that sounds like a really fun movie to watch. Okay, no more nonsense, let’s enjoy the trailer now, here we go.
Preview:
C:well,I had mixed feelings about the first NYSM.It had its fair share of thrills and flaws.But the movie left space open for a sequel,and here it is.This time,Walter Mabry,a tech magnate,recruits the Horsemen into pulling of their most impossible heist yet.Daniel Radcliffe embodies justice to his role of the above mentioned tech magnate.The entire cast returns,excluding Isla Fisher,who is replaced by Lizzy Caplan.She is good enough to replace Fisher. Just like the predecessor,the movie's ending contains a lot of explanations as to how they did what they were told to do.This movie has a lot of thrills and some questions are yet again left unanswered,but this time it is forgivable.It does have you guess a lot,and the characters are likable.The ending does seem a bit implausible,and that us one of the biggest flaws in the film.
Au:When the movie meets magic , a great show is gonna be carried out gradually. The series of Now you see me becomes a typical example. On the whole,it seems that the first episode is better than the second one, though Jay Chou participated in it,which has a great appeal to Chinese audience.
Clips:
Al:Personally, this type of ,like,action, adventure movie is not my favorite. But this one, I have to say, is way better than the other ordinary ones. Its plot, characters, and the cast are just fabulous. Once you start watching it, you just can’t keep your eyes off it and will hold till the end.
P:Oh yeah,that’s exactly what I feel about the movie.Breathtaking,thus powerful.Well...except for movie,I am really curious about the music this week.So,what’s your recommendation,Audrey?
Music
Au:well,a song called blowing in the wind. Let’s enjoy it first.
Play:blowing in the wind
Au:Recently,the news is spreading everywhere.The 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to American singer-song writer Bob Dylan ,for"having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition". It's the lyric which is full of profound truths that helps Bob gain the distinction. So what's your feeling when you first heard this song?
Al: I think it’s quite a tender and beautiful song, you know, Bob Dylan’s work, is always of that kind of gentle, simple style yet just have that magical charm that can really attract people.
C:I probably haven't overheard a magical voice like this one for several months . This beautiful piece of art is incredibly well written and played, furthermore the lyrics are doing a tremendous job,which makes me feel pretty good about this melody.it was also performed by Jenny in the film Forrest Gump,do you remember?
Au：yep! As for me ,it's one of the greatest movies that Tom Hanks was in in the long history of film.it's amazing to hear the song while watching the film that can also be called a classic.I mean it's easy to fall in love with such wonderful works.
C:Yeah,this is a powerful yet charming movie; fun for its special effects and profound in how it keeps you thinking long after it's over.There's a line in the movie making us wonder if everything is predestined or happens randomly or it's a combination of both. It is something to mull over for a long time.well,let’s move on to the next piece.
Play:UH
Au:Well, this band is not in the mainstream squad. Nevertheless,their music is filled with specific characters, which brings them a lot of faithful fans. What's more,one of their albums called Transparent Things gets a high score of 8.2 in the music of douban.
C:you got it.Not of mainstream but much more unique and admirable. it’s taken from the best television show ever "Breaking Bad " .Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul), who is the immature "yo, bitch"-spouting, high-school-screw-up small-time drug dealer，manufactures the drug along with this background music.Have watched it,Au？
Au:Of course!Commonly,fabulous music always companies fabulous televisions.This song of unique style really impressed me.And what do you think of it,p?
P: Actually, the moment I heard the song,I just can't help swaying to the rhythm because the voice is just so sexy.I have to say that it sets fire to my restless heart.
C:This show has been masterfully put together with layer upon layer of the insight into some of the most interesting characters ever realized in the history of television. We have some very dark characters, and a lot of gray characters, and it all adds up to the brilliant dialogue and plot lines.
Al: Okay, people, that’s all for this week’s movie&music, hope you guys enjoyed it and have a nice new week,bye!
(Say bye-bye)
