回复 :A Medieval Knight resurrects to fulfill his vow and bestow a blood-thirst vengeance upon the kindred spirits of those who betrayed him long ago. In the course of one night, identities will be revealed, destinies met, and a poetic justice of the macabre maniacally served. Here lies a tale of passion, loyalty, deceit, betrayal...and revenge. They were Warriors. They were Crusaders. Under the leadership of the righteous GREGOIRE, this band of brothers in the Holy Order of the Knights Templar selflessly fought back-to-back, defending GOD and the True Cross. Until one dark night of utter betrayal... Glorious was their victory that night, gold their find. The spoils were to be taken to their Grandmaster for use in furthering their Cause. Yet greed had infected one of their number - RENAULT - and under the influence of the demon of lust, he embraced and fiendishly persuaded others to help him carry out his nefarious plan of betrayal. Among those whose hearts he blackened was the already resentful MENAS, envious of his brother MELKON, the man famed as being both the greatest swordsman in all of Europe and the right hand of Gregoire. The following morning Renault's heinous plot went into effect and Gregoire, Melkon and their beloved steward KOKO were ambushed and executed for purposes of greed. But as he lay dying, Gregoire vowed his revenge. Ten lifetimes of excess Renault and his murdering compatriots would enjoy. And then he would return to deliver their souls to Hell for all of eternity. Ten lifetimes of excess... The centuries pass and after 700 years, the allotted time of the evildoers nears culmination. One dark, stormy night, the Crusader, upon his steed, resurrects to execute his pledge of vengeance upon the now kindred spirits of those who victimized him so very long ago. The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group assembles at a secluded manor home under the guise of a promised fantasy weekend to fulfill personal desires. JAKE, the events coordinator will have his hands full playing host to his young guests; CELINE, the alluring and promiscuous Eastern-European, ASHLEY, the contemptuous yet beautiful socialite, AMY, the innocent and meek girl-next-door, HURCOS, the predatory Middle-Eastern playboy, and JAPONIKO, the uninvited and mysterious Asian minimalist. SHAUNA, the abrasive Irish cook, and her cohort in crime BENOIT, the bone-idle English caretaker, along with the enigmatic PRIEST and the benevolent SHOPKEEPER, round out this unusual and extremely colorful cast of characters. Jake assigns the position of assistant recreational coordinator to Amy, and as she reads from an obscure storybook, the tale of Gregoire and his righteous band of Templar Knights animates, and the story of betrayal is reenacted for the guests. Blood will flow excessively as the cursed and unsuspecting kindred spirits meet their imminent destinies one-by-one during the Crusader's maniacal reprisal.
回复 :98岁的陈玉平（Grace Lee Boggs）是一位生活在底特律的作家、倡权者和哲学家。这是一部关于她的思想、倡权行动和生活的纪录片《美国革命：陈玉平的演进》（American Revolutionary The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs）。陈玉平出生于1915年，父母是移民，经营中餐馆。陈玉平从小生活舒适，但感到社会需要变革。她毕业于伯纳德学院，后在布林莫尔学院攻读哲学，1940年获得博士学位。由于少数族裔在当时美国社会的境遇，毕业后，她在芝加哥大学的哲学图书馆谋得一份低薪工作。她在租住的地区无意中见到非裔市民抗议，从此关注和参与非裔美国人争取平等权利的民权运动。后来，她到有大量汽车工人的底特律，和汽车制造工人和工人权益倡权人士James Boggs结婚。陈玉平和新婚丈夫度蜜月时，不得不在车里过夜，因为当时的种族隔离法令她的非裔新婚丈夫无法入住汽车旅馆。她成了非裔社区的一分子，参与当地的民权运动。陈玉平的思想深受黑格尔的辩证法和马克思的社会发展理论的影响。她的思想不断地演变，如今，她倡导非暴力，在家门口的草坪上放着“不要战争”的牌子。她认为，不应该将希望寄托在领导人身上，变化应该从自身开始。年届高龄，她还组织“底特律暑假” 和“社区花园”项目，在一个衰落的城市里致力于社区的重建。
回复 :《干花》这部风格强烈的「艺术黑帮片」制作于任侠电影黄金时代的开端，以强烈反差的黑白摄影及武满彻诡异的配乐，带领观众梦游石原慎太郎原著的「仁义」地下世界。作为松竹新浪潮的一员，篠田正浩则是自觉地离开片厂，走上独立制作的道路。篠田的《乾花》有趣的地方，可能是见到本是文艺小生的池部良，如何开始转型成为一位「任侠」。虽然在这部电影中，他还是一个典型的石原慎太郎太阳族小说的迷惘主人翁，但走上罪犯的道路后，他很快就成为「昭和残侠」的一员。日本的黑帮片，可能是把罪犯神话化的极致了。《干花》，这部筱田正浩的新浪潮时期的作品，改编自石原慎太郎的原著。这部小说和另外一部石原慎太郎作品《太阳的季节》的出现，给新浪潮中重要一类电影立下了“太阳族电影”的名字。这部冷酷迷人的电影所展现出来的虚无主义情绪似乎比大岛洼的成名作《残酷青春物语》还要强烈得多，技术也更高超得多。除了以自身阴郁的黑白摄影对原著进行的视觉呈现所散发出的独特气息，它仍残留着石原慎太郎太阳族电影——文学作品的印记。不过在此番中，通常发生在小说男主人公身上的反叛与虚无情绪被转移到了另一位神秘、迷人、疯狂、麻木、空洞、绝望的年轻女孩身上，而男主角却几乎成了黑色电影的经典形象——一个没有希望和生存目的的孤独杀手，迫不得已不得不继续在这条充满陷阱的路上走下去。男女主人公，刚欲建立起来的感情联系在这个危险和绝望的世界中迅速被自身的惰性和冷酷的外部世界撕裂了，还来不及清醒地确认自身的存在与悲剧感。筱田正浩所采取的绝不是一种类型片的拍法，他的这部审视战后日本社会心理形态的作品，有着强大而深沉的批评力量。它是内敛的、阴郁的、冷酷的、无声尖叫的、像夜本身一样富于沉重的压迫感的。筱田正浩对人在一种极端主义的处境中性与爱的歧化的、隐性的表现，有一种独特的眼光和品位，他的作品既有政治和社会眼光的深度，并且似乎总是无法剥离的，又有人性基本层面上的批判视野的力度，他不像典型的桃色片电影导演那样官能化地聚焦于身体摹写的原欲自身，也绝不是一位禁欲风格的社会学或人类学纪录者，他擅长改编文学作品的才能使它成为一位将社会立意的内在主题寄寓在美不胜收的视觉语言和具有诱惑力的文学叙事上的美学拓建设者；他的作品的形式与思想结合的完美总是让人久久陷于震憾。
