Topics
Luke: 我会通过谈论电影来帮助英语学习者提高英语水平。你可以根据自己的喜好,选择是否观看电影来配合学习。我的播客旨在帮助全球的英语学习者,通过涵盖文化话题和提供听力练习来帮助英语学习者,并且经常涉及英国喜剧。英国喜剧以幽默的方式探索复杂议题。今天的节目是关于 Monty Python 的另一部著名喜剧《Monty Python's Life of Brian》。我们将深入讨论这部电影的制作、故事、角色和争议。Monty Python 是一个由英国喜剧演员、作家和演员组成的团体,外加一位美国人。Monty Python 的作品以其巧妙的荒谬而闻名,《Life of Brian》被认为是他们评价最高的作品。这部电影因被认为嘲笑耶稣及其追随者而备受争议,但实际上这部电影是关于 Brian 的。我不想冒犯任何人,只想谈论这部著名的英国电影。如果你觉得可能会被冒犯,请跳过本集。如果你喜欢关于英国喜剧电影的深入讨论,请继续收听。我将与 Anthony 讨论 Monty Python 的《Life of Brian》。 Anthony: 我上次来的时候得了新冠,瘦了很多,不过现在又胖回来了。我经常看 Monty Python 的电影,尤其是带有评论音轨的版本。我喜欢看带有字幕和评论的 Monty Python DVD,但我看的《Life of Brian》不如《Holy Grail》多。我以前经常看《Holy Grail》的录像带。我以前经常反复观看《Holy Grail》的录像带,但《Life of Brian》看得较少。我第一次看到《Life of Brian》的片段是在 Comic Relief 节目中。我在 Comic Relief 节目中看到了《Life of Brian》的片段,并因此喜欢上了 Monty Python。《Life of Brian》在我心中排名很高,几乎完美。我认为《Life of Brian》接近完美,而《Holy Grail》有几个场景不够好。Monty Python 的电视剧质量不一,而《Meaning of Life》更像是一系列小品。我认为 Monty Python 只有两部真正的电影,而《Life of Brian》排名更高。《Holy Grail》只是一个中世纪背景下的系列小品,而《Life of Brian》有更强的叙事性。《Life of Brian》是 Monty Python 最严肃的电影,尽管它仍然很荒谬。《Life of Brian》既荒谬又深刻,具有多重层次。《Life of Brian》中的角色是不同情境下的英国典型人物。《Life of Brian》在圣经史诗的背景下,既有荒诞时刻,又有着深刻的主题。《Life of Brian》讲述了一个普通人努力生活的故事,并探讨了一些宏大的主题。《Life of Brian》因其喜剧性和深刻的主题而备受赞誉。《Life of Brian》背后的哲学是讽刺那些不独立思考的人。Monty Python 的喜剧源于他们不理解为什么圣经史诗中的人物总是用高尚的声音谈论高尚的事情,他们认为人们会谈论日常琐事。Monty Python 模仿圣经史诗,并用日常的语言和话题来呈现。
