I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our healthcare is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land – a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America – they will be met.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted – for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things – some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.

For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions – that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act – not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise healthcare’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions – who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them – that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works – whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account – to spend wisely, reform bad habits and do our business in the light of day – because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control – and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favours only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart – not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.

As for our common defence, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort – even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologise for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the west – know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honour them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment – a moment that will define a generation – it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends – hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism – these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility – a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

This is the source of our confidence – the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed – why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:

“Let it be told to the future world…that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive…that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it].”

America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God’s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

由于在我们国家的特殊国情，并不能提供未删节、未删减的电影给我们这些人看，广大人民群众看电影一般也不上电影院，象胡戈戈这种穷人连盗版碟都买不起，一般也就只能通过网上下载来看，但电脑看电影一般比看盗版碟来的要和谐要强大要CCTV，这就是中国特色社会主义看电影经验之谈！

前几天我看到一篇新浪博客上批评苹果的影评，评论有600多条，那时候我气死了，怎么会有这样喜欢唱主旋律的人涅，而且还有一大批根本没看过这部电影的人在到处乱骂，如果大家喜欢唱主旋律倒不如到胡戈戈的河蟹娱乐去唱，到阿企同学的佳人去唱，而且到过这两个博客的人都感觉很好很强大！电影是一门艺术，需要你用艺术的眼光去看，我看完这两部电影之后，丝毫都感觉不出什么色情，什么不和谐？难道这不是我们现在的现实社会吗？难道真实地反映现实也会有错吗？

中华民族一直以来在世界上都是数一数二的强国，而也只是到晚清开始走向衰败，一直到现在也没见巨龙有一点再次沉醒的迹象。中国的文化也无数次的遭受历史的摧残，到了我们这一代几乎断代了。苹果深刻反映了现实生活中的中华传统文化已经茫然无存的事实，这是一个令人可悲的事实，但你也不要不敢承认，在这个社会里与在这个电影里，人们有的也就只是对于金钱的追求和性爱的诱惑，感觉苹果让我对于现实有了更深的了解，我想苹果应该也受到广电总部很大的压力吧，在这里强烈支持一下苹果！苹果有一点特别像当年的活着的味道，但没有活着那么悲凉。

色戒明显就是一部抗日爱国体裁的电影，李安导演不亏是一位厉害的导演，在个人感情与国家集体的矛盾之下，在任何人面前都会是一个两难的选择，王佳芝一开始是一个爱国的热血青年，象很多青年一样在当年抗日战争时期为了拯救国家做出了很多个人的牺牲，我认为象王佳芝到最后所做出的一点点反叛也是情有可原的，至少她也一样为了这个国家付出了自己的青春，自己的爱情，自己的生命，并不是每个人都能象小时候教材课本上的那些所谓英雄人物那样舍身取义，而且现实生活更是很难见甚至找不到，可恶的一些人总是喜欢唱主旋律，喜欢为某些利益集团说好话（当然也为自己争取一点利益）。现在的我们缺少的是尊重真实历史，尊重现实社会，总是有一些人为了自己的利益说一些迎合的话。

最后强烈建议大家观看苹果和色戒，未成年请在父母的指导下观看或看阉割版
另外这篇文章也是被著名的blogger Denis点名而自己随便乱写的，如果不写的话，他的第一偶像宝贝女儿会不高兴的，这篇文章深刻反映博客之外的胡戈戈的生活，也就是喜欢看电影，仅此一项爱好。其实我博客之外的生活也就是学习、上网还有看电影等等这很少的东西，还有整天发一些无聊的呆。

可是，当我从头至尾的看了这部150分钟的电影后，我丝毫没有了以上的成见，电影感人的讲述了中学生查理和中校斯莱德短短几天的精神历程，令人信服的描绘了两个人的思想轨迹。成长—是这部电影的深刻而沉重的主题。

这是个并不复杂的故事。

查理是贝尔中学的学生，生性率真、腼腆。因目睹了同学的恶作剧而被校长威逼利诱。要么妥协，要么恪守原则，本来平静的求学之路顿起波澜。人生被迫面临一次抉择。退伍军官弗兰肯是个丧失了光明的残疾人。同时也丧失了丢人性的信任和生活的勇气。他把自己的心灵闭锁于无限的黑暗之中，并决心完成一次“回光返照”似的旅行后体面地结束自己的生命。命运之神安排他们在人生的十字路口相遇，用相异的手法彼此缝合对方的伤疤，让不同的人生相互救赎并最终做出相同的解释。一次意外的邂逅，一场“性感”的探戈，一次恣意的飙车和一段酣畅淋漓的演讲为观众完整的勾勒出生命从“毁灭”到“重生”的全部过程。

年轻的学生查理(克里斯奥唐纳饰)无意间目睹了几个学生准备戏弄校长的过程，校长让他说出恶作剧的主谋，否则将予以处罚。查理带着烦恼来到退伍军人史法兰中校家中做周末兼职。中校曾经是巴顿将军的副官，经历过战争和许多挫折，在一次意外事故中双眼被炸瞎。他整天在家里无所事事，失去了生活下去的勇气和信心。他准备用尽最后的精力享受一次美好的生活。他带着查理出游、吃佳肴、开飞车、跳探戈、住豪华酒店……然后想结束自己的生命。 查理竭力阻止了中校的自杀行为，从此他们之间萌生如父子般的感情。史法兰也找回了生活下去的勇气和力量。他在学校礼堂上为查理进行了精彩的辩护，使得查理免于处罚。长期的失明生活使得史法兰中校对听觉和嗅觉异常敏感，甚至能靠闻对方的香水味道识别其身高、发色乃至眼睛的颜色。其实这都源于他对生活的深刻理解和感悟。

史法兰(阿尔柏仙奴饰)是一个失明退伍军人，阐述了他内心的感爱，对感情的执拗及心中的一丝希望，他整天在家里无所事事，闷得发慌，他一直想过着美满丰盛的人生，吃佳肴、楂快车、跳探戈、住靓屋，对他来说更重要的，当然是亲亲人间难得一尝的女人香。年青小伙子查理(基斯奥当尼饰)兼职法兰的随从，替法兰逐一实现心愿。但好景不常，法兰对人世不再留恋，准备结束生命，幸得查理竭力阻止。从此两人萌生如父子般的感情。 青年查利得到了进入哈佛大学继续深造的机会，为了挣到足够的钱回家过圣诞节，查利应聘照看双目失明的退休中校斯莱德。斯莱德因失明而整日脾气暴躁，他要查利陪他去纽约度一个疯狂的周末。查利在学校碰巧看到了几个同学的恶做剧，校长要查利供出他们的名字，查利不肯说，为此他将接受学校的审讯。忧心忡忡的查利尽管没有心情，也只得陪斯莱德前往纽约。疯狂的享乐并没有使同样精神抑郁的斯莱德振作起来，他欲结束自己的生命，幸得查利相救。周末度完回来，斯莱德擅闯学校会场为查利辩护，查利终于免除了处分，而斯莱德回到家后也重新焕发了对生活的热情。 双目失明的退役中校斯莱德有意告别这个黑暗的世界，于感恩节前雇贵族学校的学生查利担任导游，再“看看”这个他曾享受其间的花花世界。在他们相处过程中有争执也有体谅。查利在陪斯莱德参加完感恩节的家庭聚会后回旅馆，发现斯莱德在擦枪。他坚持“没收”了所 有子弹。不久，查利返校。因为他是一起捉弄校长的恶作剧知情人，校长威胁说，如果查利不告发主谋者就会被开除。在校长召开的大会上，斯莱德中校不期而至，以雄辨的口才为查利争得一个“无罪”的“判决”。

生活拮据的名校学生和双目失明的退伍中校，是多妙的人生探索组合，他们从田园诗般的小城到繁华的纽约的旅行，是多好的剧情舞台。导演剩下的事就是讲述两个主人公的心灵成长了。

优等生查理对于那些名校里的富家子弟来说，简直就是乡巴佬，他自己也清楚这一点，然而，他的特别之处在于他并不介意，他不介意父母早晨5：00至第二天1：00的艰苦生活使他在同学面前有窘迫的家庭背景，他也不自卑拿不出1200元去和同学们参加冬季滑雪。这不是他的错，他有他的原则，这是人性中相当优秀的原则—正直的奋斗。有了这个原则，可以使查理改变自己的命运，能使他成为26年后和那班富贵同学一起打golf的富人—中校语。

然而，现实并不像查理所期待的那样发展，如今的社会，即便在以正义和真善知名的博德中学，也默认并遵守社会上那些尔虞我诈勾心斗角的潜规则，在一个偶然的师生冲突中，查理倒霉的牵扯到其中.其实，查理迟早会进入这个人们相互倾轧的社会，但悲哀的是，在一向纯洁学校中，查理过早的与之遭遇了。怎么办？查理很犹豫，很矛盾，他的心里涌上大片的乌云，他脆弱的坚守原则的力量正在受到卑琐的黑暗势力瓦解，而且可怕的是，投靠这个势力还是很自然平常的事，并能得到当众的赞扬和切身的好处。如果没有中校的无意中的强行介入，查理很有可能就会被同流合污，将高尚的灵魂出卖给卑琐的校监，换取梦寐以求的改变命运的机会。然而，看似毫不相干的中校出现了。

Al Pacino演的中校，一开始是一个颇让人讨厌的人，一个性格扭曲的瞎子，也只有查理这样高尚而敏感的人受得了他。直到两人在飞机上，中校流露真情的表白，对女人的动情描述展现了中校那看似愤世嫉俗的表面下，对生活真诚的热爱。使查理对他有了真诚的同情和情感的共鸣。而中校在纽约的一系列举动，逐渐使查理的内心不再矛盾，他通过中校自杀前的真性情的生活感受到了另一种生活的态度，这是一种有别于社会上虚伪生活的态度—真诚，自由而高尚的活着，心安理得的享受着生命的乐趣（电影中有一段中校跳探戈的情节，使人心灵悸动，这段场景展现了高尚纯洁的生活状态—陌不相识的人充满真诚的跳着，他们的心因为脱下了所有的伪装而无比轻松默契。这段百看不厌的感人探戈，是这部电影的精华所在）。这其实就是查理内心期望的未来道路，查理坚定的跟随了高尚的自我。曾经笼罩在内心中大片的乌云也消散了。查理发自内心地希望中校快乐的活着，因为中校所依靠的正是查理所秉持的生活原则，中校不能自杀。

而中校在与查理相处的几天中，惊喜地发现查理是一个在这个社会中已经罕有的坚持原则的人，他从心底里爱着查理，然而，大半生沧桑失败的经历告诉他，这样的人要生活在世上是很艰难的，中校自己并不是有原则的人，他默许尔虞我诈弱肉强食的社会规则，他做的很多似乎正直的事，只是想使自己变得重要，在人格境界上中校不如查理。这也许就是中校最后放弃自杀的原因—他发现了有比女人和法拉利更美好的东西—–正直的人性，而他要做的，就是保护这件极易遭摧折的东西。

中校感人的吼叫：我生活在黑暗中！这既是中校实际的生活状态，也是中校残存的人性在残酷的现实中碰得头破血流后撕心裂肺的控诉。垂死的人性使中校痛苦不堪，想一了百了，查理一度也心灰意冷，他说，你放弃，我也放弃。但生存下去的欲望在两颗极度悲哀失望的心灵中仍然在燃烧着，只要它还在燃烧，无边的失望和巨大的悲哀便不复存在，而化为了无穷的痛苦，源源不断地从受伤的心灵中不断涌出。经过剧烈的心灵拷问后，中校和查理终于达成了心灵上的默契，他们将怀着坚强高尚的心灵携手并肩走在这污浊黑暗的人世上。

在最后的较量中，中校支举着尚未成熟的高尚的查理，用真诚的话语诉说着内心的强烈体会：我曾看见一些更年轻的孩子，他们手断足跛，他们血染疆场，我很痛心；但还远不如看到一群从高尚堕落到卑琐的灵魂那样痛心疾首…查理身上的个性正是一个领袖具备的品格，这叫正直，这叫勇敢，我们不该摧折它，应该保护它…

整个电影不注重情节的巧妙演进，而是突出刻画了人物间的十分精辟微妙而耐人寻味的表情和对话。结尾的相对轻松的处理掩盖不了整个影片悲凉的气氛和沉重的主题。那自始至终回荡着的，象征着中校和查理的高尚品格和美好心灵的铜管旋律，明澈而忧郁，使人久久萦怀。

后记：最感伤的情节是上校拜访他哥哥的那段，很让人伤感。最美的情节是上校跳探戈的那段，现在那个曲子我还经常听，很美，看过了这部电影，深深为Al Pacino的人格魅力折。最精彩的情节是那演讲，我听了大概5遍以上。
