英文迪士尼动画《风中奇缘》求一篇读后感
《风中奇缘》—好莱坞包装纸下美化的殖民历史说实话，最先被吸引的是《风中奇缘》的音乐，有一次，已经记不得是什么场合下听到那首动听的《风之彩》了，只是被那带点空灵，却又浑厚的音乐场景所吸引，可是一直不记得去看这部电影。
刚刚看完后，感触比较多，迪斯尼的制作水准完全体现出来了，从技术的角度上讲，动画人物造型延续了迪斯尼的特色，场景渲染的丰富，色彩逼真。
可能很多人看完这部电影后，和我的感觉一样，音乐太出彩了，无论是影片中采用的合唱旋律，或者片尾主题曲，的确制作精良，演出者全力投入，可以称得上一次音乐盛宴，与其得到众多赞扬和褒奖是名副其实的，梅尔吉布森的配音，凡妮莎威廉姆斯的献唱都为之填色着彩。
但是，回过头来，故事情节，人物刻画却深深让人失望，为什么
我们不是六岁的孩子，我也不相信迪斯尼的观众全都是小孩子；作为稍有常识的成年观众，要认同这样的情节设计是很难的，我估计这也是《风中奇缘》在中国不太能造势的原因之一，情节，还是情节。
在这部极力美化或者可以说否认殖民侵略历史的动画片里，首先表现出的是西方文化中强烈的文化中心论，这从梅尔吉布森那句“Savage”（直译可以理解为野人，或者蛮族），整个影片中总督倒是说了句实话，我们是为了金子，但是梅尔吉布森大哥配音的约翰就说的“大言不惭”了：“我们是来帮助你们开化的TO BE Civilized”.第二、对印第安人的再误解之所以说再误解，是因为是在找不出合适的词语来形容《风中奇缘》中对于当地人的刻画，刻意的描画，除了影片自始自终表现印第安人对于自然的强烈崇拜，再就是那棵会说话的神树了，印第安人的个性被完全塑造成好莱坞或者迪斯尼家的款式和风格，就连我们美丽的Pocahontas公主也拥有了完美的好莱坞的“尺码”。
第三、爱情发生的时候无疑的，爱情是影片的核心部分，Pocahontas同约翰史密斯相爱了，这大概是必然，因为，影片中的神树都这么暗示了，那么，我们的公主是不会爱上别人的。
问题就在于，公主同殖民者的爱情能化解两个种族，或者说两种不同文化，殖民和反殖民之间的矛盾吗
聪明的编剧当然不会把谎话圆的的完美，于是在流血和牺牲之后，总督被当作矛盾制造的焦点五花大绑的送上遣回之路，而史密斯同志则光荣负伤，于是虽然你们牺牲了一个勇士，我们也损失了一个总督，（在《风中奇缘2》中史密斯同志光荣牺牲了）那就扯平了
相反，也许是编剧实在没有办法为这个历史公案做一个近似童话（那是违背历史的）却又可以接受的结局，于是只有安排史密斯为保护酋长（或者说是部族的头领）而奄奄一息，乘船回国，Pocahontas公主在山顶，用当地手势默默目送心上人缓缓远去，风之彩悠然响起。

也许我们不能苛求迪斯尼像日本一样面对真实的历史，但是很遗憾的，《风中奇缘》的故事情节确实在不敢让人恭维，如果我们是天真的儿童，那也许会为这一场刻骨铭心（应该可以算是刻骨铭心吧
两个人冲破种族界限，文化的隔阂以及历史的残酷选择在一起）的爱情落下一个虽然心碎但却难忘的结局，可惜我们不是。
英文介绍：When Pocahontas originally came out, Disney's wave of recent hits came to a crashing halt. The film was labeled as racist or at least insensitive to Native Americans and the goodwill that Disney had established with its audiences quickly evaporated. You could say they have never been the same since. The fearsome foursome that is The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and the Lion King has no equal, except perhaps the last four Pixar movies. Pocahontas is not, unfortunately in that club and never will be. Disney spent the next four to five years trying to recreate the magic with films like Hunchback, Hercules, Mulan, and Tarzan. Unfortunately, none of those films had the surprise and good feeling of the earlier Disney hits, and except for maybe Mulan, none of those films, as films, were as good either. And although Pocahontas is and was the point where the schizm occurred, in retrospect, it's a pretty damned good movie. So what went wrong?First, it wasn't the Lion King. They could have put out something safe after the Lion King, and it still probably would have paled in comparison to what was then a great big giant behemoth of a movie. That movie earned over THREE HUNDRED MILLION in its theatrical run in 1994 - not as common then as it is now - thing was a juggernaut. Pocahontas, following on the heels of this bad boy, was not going to live up to expectations. People blamed the fact that it was about PEOPLE and not animals, and that it was based on ACTUAL history rather than a fairy tale. THEN they blamed the fact that the history part of it was botched and that the film's portrayal of Native Americans was at best insensitive, racist at worst. I'll grant you that making Pocahontas' mentor a talking tree and having her learn English instantaneously because she listened to her heart is a wee bit ridiculous, but racist? Come on. The message of the film - that love can conquer hate - is anything but racist and if anything, the film shows the Indians in a more human light than the English, who are their usual, stereotypical pig-headed selves. Here's what else is good about the movie: The SONGS. Remember 'Colors of the Wind'? Could there be a better song about reconnecting with nature and valuing the earth more? We NEED this song right now, especially, with the world seemingly sliding ever more into a consumerist bliss, what better than to see some beautiful chick running through the forest teaching that rugged white man how to value LIFE? And what the hell is wrong with that I ask? And what about some of the other songs? The one about the RIVER BEND and making choices - good stuff. And the whole montage ending song that repeats SAVAGES SAVAGES BARELY EVEN HUMAN from both sides - showing that BOTH SIDES misunderstand each other. It gives me chills when Pocahontas is running and you see the war superimposed behind her and she sings HOW LOUD BEAT THE DRUMS OF WAR! - makes me want to cry! Don't we need this now I ask you?But, by far the best thing about this movie is - the animation. It is absolutely GORGEOUS. The design for this film is sumptuous, with mostly blues and a seamless style that never gets in the way and illustrates the action (and the feminine nature of the film) so beautifully. Compared to the dreck that is the HUNCHBACK - that film is ugly as sin - and the absolute HIDEOUSNESS of Hercules - the animation in that is strictly straight-to-video, Pocahontas absolutely ROCKS. Only Mulan, with its chirpy story and colorful style match up to the grandeur of this one. While Pocahontas didn't have the grand ending that the Lion King had (it was a downer, remember?), the story bucks tradition by making it about people instead of animals, and its' message outweighs the historically inaccurate complaint. What movie IS historically accurate? Disney took a chance with this one and they got BURNED, which is why they went back to doing safe crap like Hunchback, which tanked anyway. They should have done the SCARLET LETTER or something like that - really start pissing people off. How about the MARQUIS DE SADE? There's some history for you!Watch Pocahontas again without the weight of expectations. You'll be surprised by how good it really is.

迪斯尼动画片观后感英语版
《花木兰》 Why Mulan sticks out as a great Disney film. I was impressed by this Disney film for so many reasons, too many to list here, but I will go on the record as saying that Mulan has got to be one of the best Disney female characters that ever saw production, in the midst of a colorful and artistic film, that will resonate in your memory.Mulan sticks out in my mind for this reason. For once, we have a strong female lead, or at the least, stronger than most of them. She isn't counted among the Disney princesses line-up. She doesn't want for herself, and she seeks to look deeper within herself to discover her inner being. She isn't like Ariel, who wants to be someone else. She isn't like Jasmine, who sits in luxury, waiting to be swept off her feet by Prince Charming, just like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and almost any female character that Disney brings to life. And while she does share some traits among this list, she stands out because she does something that these do not. She uses her mind. Mulan, in fact, has more in common with male Disney leads than the female Disney leads. Mulan is a thinker, and a do-er. She's resourceful, like Aladdin. She is quick to act, like Eric (mermaid.) And she sacrifices herself for the sake of others, like Hercules. She also speaks her mind, even in a culture that does not allow such a thing. She doesn't waste time pining about will I ever find true love? Indeed, we see that she has an attraction to Shang (as he was her husband in the legends,) but we see her uncomfortable and unsure of meeting the Match-maker. She begs for her father's life when Chi-Fu came to the village. When you see her make her decision to take her father's place in the army, she does so out of her love for him, valuing his life above hers. She doesn't wish to become a man to see what it is like or for a change. Only to save his life. She later doubts herself and her reasons for going, but she did so because of her inner strengths, something other female Disney leads too often lack. (And it is these strengths that Shang is attracted to at the end.)This movie also has a simple, but very effective villain, Shan Yu. Though not as memorable as Jafar or Ursula, he is more effective and more menacing because he is not fantastic. By that, I mean that he is not magical, he holds no special power. He is portrayed as a man, and as a man that could have truly existed, performing vicious acts that men do. We see the destruction that his army lays to a village, and when Mulan finds the doll, it shows that Shan Yu left no one living, man, woman or child. This is what makes him so effective as a villain, showing how truly human he indeed is. Granted, the producers did not develop him in any great depth, but they showed enough of him to remind us of his threat to China. Besides, sometimes the better villains are the ones you don't know too much about, or see a lot of.Of the rest of the supporting cast, I will only mention four of them as being memorable in any real way. Chi-Fu, the emperor's consultant, was a reminder of the way many men looked at women in this culture. He thrusts his head up when Mulan begs for her father's life, and when she is discovered to be a woman, though she is a hero, he is quick to insult her, and to order her execution, simply because she impersonated a man. The other three were, of course, her comrades, Ling, Yao, and Chian Po. Though they were mainly comic relief (almost like a 3 stooges set,) they remained loyal to Mulan and trusted her fully, even after she was discovered. I like them, because they were not discriminatory to her in any way, even trying to stop her execution. When Mulan told them she had an idea to help the emperor faster, they were the first to her side, even when Shang was still reluctant to do so.Overall, a wonderful movie to the Disney list. If you haven't seen it, then
