微博之夜 2023

Last winter holiday, I was taking a translation course in New Orientation, and there I met a young but experienced teacher. In class, he recommended “Night at the Museum” to us as “if you could understand every point in this movie, you are qualified to say that you know well enough about the world which you are living in.”

Doubted his words, I watched “Night at the Museum” recently, only to find that his saying was correct. The story went on in an old way. Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) was a complete loser who was divorced and unemployed. In order to fight for his only son, Nick’s custody, he got a night guard job at the Museum of Natural History in New York. And then he discovered that all the exhibitions there came to life at night. There, ancient animals including dinosaurs and African elephants were running about wildly; Statue of Easter Island was chattered without stop; Augustus (Steve Coogan) was leading his army conquer all enemies; Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), the lovable 26th President of America was roaming around on the horseback; and cowboys were exploding in the west, etc. The museum went into a chaos, and Larry seemed to be in trouble. Perhaps you have guessed, Larry and his son were going to enjoy an adventurous journey with the characters in history. I have to say, the visual effect was perfect, bringing viewers to a fantastic ancient age soon.

Laughing all along, I also learned more about ancient and modern civilization all around the world during this fun trip with poor Larry. Further more, a subtle change of Nick’s opinion towards his father comforted viewers. Facing a do-nothing father, Nick was once disappointed. But after the fun night experience at the museum, accompanying by numerous historic characters, he finally understood his father, a little leisure, but brave and lovable. The magical history museum mended the relationship between the father and son.

It cannot be denied that Americans are good at spreading values in American style, so did they show it in “Night at the Museum”. I have to admit that I appreciate this pattern, as civilization continues easily. For example, Docent Rebecca introduced Roosevelt, “He absolutely loved history and believed that the more you know about the past the better prepared you are for the future.” Their attitude toward history is clear here, which makes me moving. Larry Daley once considered giving up this job, because it made him stressful. But Roosevelt encouraged him, “Some men are born great. Others have greatness thrust upon them. For you, that is the very moment.” Can anyone be untouched hearing these words? At least, I cannot. Witnessing a small tomato becoming a hero may has been boring to some people, but to me, it still powerful.

If you want to release pressure, and learn something about human history and civilization at the same time, “Night at the Museum” will be a first choice.

    Larry的出场就已经预示这是一个彻头彻尾的小人物。而后我们慢慢了解了他现在的状况，生活的，事业的。对，他的简历与众不同，当然这不是在夸他。
    心高气傲的他自然对于博物馆夜班保安的工作心存排斥，但没办法因为儿子对他说，你该找个正经职业了。
    第一夜很快到来。这是侏罗纪公园吗？是不是最近没什么人来，让恐龙饿得一点肉都不长。你没晕过去就好，因为还有好多新朋友没介绍给你呢。
    终于熬到了天亮，老子不干了，我可不想那天变成一堆蜡像的食物，我还有儿子呢。对，我还有儿子，那是我的儿子，可是却想当个证券交易员，老婆给了你了，儿子再给你？不行，我要干下去。
    第二夜好多了，如果不是那只该死的猴子。我原本想离开的，但他就从我眼前这么消失，就在我眼前化成尘土。
    儿子来了，我不能让他失望。有坏人？那就干掉他。我可是拥有千军万马呀。
    解决了坏蛋，我高兴，儿子高兴，大家都高兴。
    现在他可以向别人炫耀了，他可以说，“我爸爸是个伟大的人。”
    “谁说的？”
    “泰迪.罗斯福。”

那天是朋友生日，所以大伙5个人就选了部喜剧来开心一下，而我们的目的也达到了。我之前曾看过电影制作花絮，也看了一些评论，对这部电影心里也有个底。难得坐在我旁边的朋友，是完全不懂看的是什么戏。看了开场三分钟，她头一句就问我：这是动画片吗？之后，见到主角独自在夜晚的博物院里守夜，听见后头有人问：是恐怖片吗？呵，到最后观众就会发现，这是全家大小合宜的喜剧片呀！

这部片之所以有趣，应该就是说――非生物变成生物，就像《Toy Story》一般。在博物院里，每一样展出的陈列品，在晚上都活了过来！恐龙骨头也如此，石像也是，更别说是那些蜡像！因此有了搞笑的情节。每一样都是有趣的。

我个人较喜欢的，有恐龙啦，它简直是小狗嘛！还有那复活岛的大石像，说话总爱用叠字，它喊“Quiet”之后的那句话，简直让全场笑翻了！还有两个好斗的西部牛仔和罗马统领，可爱！还有一直喊打喊杀的匈奴人，主角还和他互相喊来喊去，以及他们最后被感化的眼神，哈！当然还有埃及法老王，他真的是埃及人噢，帅！再来是说了很多句警句的美国总统，我们的老将Robin Williams；还有名字不知要怎么念的，勇敢的印地安女子，请她出来指路时，真的搞笑呐！

既然是以父子情为主线，稍嫌不满的是，电影中的孩子崇拜的是有工作、有势力的“爸爸”，爸爸失业时，孩子表现出来的失望也太明显了！难道一定要有工作，才能赢得孩子的尊敬吗？那么，要那些失业的爸爸颜面何存呢？

看了这部电影，让我对阅读历史有了新的体验。历史，绝对是已经过去了的，现代人看起来是有些沉闷的，因为历史是“死”的；在这部戏里，历史“活”了过来，一切都盎然有趣，让人欲了解更多。所以，只要我们把一切历史都当成是“活”的，那么，肯定是很有趣的吧？以前的历史老师，总爱说些历史人物的八卦故事给我们听，感觉就像把死人当活人看待。这部戏，让我重新感觉到历史“活“过来了。

总个来说，就是有趣又好玩的电影！不论场地、模型、特效……都很有心。

寒假强档出击！
Ben Stille就长了这么张找抽的脸。在museum爬梯，效果真不错。
怀疑是自然历史博物馆投资的诺，各记票房增要像电影结尾一样来~
西部牛仔老想着送渥大伟上断头台，山顶洞人爱上了灭火器的滋味, 匈奴领袖因为幼时创伤老爱玩SM, 复活节石头笨笨 gumgum runrun，还有暴力8合作的僧帽猴。
