The main character is Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the social network, Facebook. From the very first moment, it’s clear that Mark has some communication problems in his life. In order to make friends, he creates his own social network. He deliriously communicates with a virtual company, «capturing» more and more countries and continents. He probably wouldn’t have noticed the loss of his only true friend if the latter hadn’t started a trial against him. However, they say that the Zuckerberg from Aaron Sorkin’s script has little to do with the real person.

電影的主角是社群網站Facebook的創辦人馬克·祖克柏，在最一開始可以很明顯的知道馬克在生活中有一些溝通的問題，為了要結交朋友，他創造了自己的社群網站，他瘋狂地和虛擬公司對話，占領越來越多國家和大陸，如果他的好朋友沒有向他提起訴訟，他可能不會發現他失去了唯一的好朋友，不過在Aaron Sorkin劇本中的祖克柏並沒有太大的真實性。

Кадр из фильма «Три идиота»

It is an Indian film but it has little in common with ordinary Indian films about tangled family ties and singing and dancing. Two friends, Farhan and Raju, enter the Imperial College of Engineering. One pursues an engineering degree to please his father, and the other chooses this profession with hopes of improving his financial situation. Both of them have their own quirks and fears. Their third roommate, Rancho, is a little different. He is interested in robotics and invents things in his spare time. This movie will teach you not to be afraid to speak up, to be yourself and to pursue your dreams.

這是一部印度電影，但它不像一般的印度電影一樣有混亂的家庭關係和載歌載舞，兩個朋友Farhan和Raju進入了帝國理工大學，一個是為了討好父親而攻讀工程學位，另一個是希望能改善經濟狀況而選擇這個專業，他們都擁有自己的怪癖和恐懼，而他們的第三位室友Rancho有點不同，他對於機器人技術很有興趣，會在空閒時間發明東西，這部電影會教你不要害怕表達自己的想法、做自己和追求你的夢想。

Warrior 勇者無敵

’’Fight for your family. Fight for your country.’’

為了家庭而戰，為了國家而戰。

Кадр из фильма «Воин»

This is an amazing sports drama that surpasses all expectations. The film isn’t about tough fighters who can crash all those who stand in their way. The issues raised in the film are very urgent — relations between fathers and sons, places of an individual in society and moral values. It’s about giving second chances, not holding onto mistakes of the past, and about forgiveness and mutual understanding.

這是一部令人驚豔且超越大家期望的體育戲劇，這部電影不是在說能夠擊敗一 切阻力的堅強格鬥者，電影提到了很急迫的問題，就是父親和兒子間的關係，還有個人在社會上的地位及道德觀，這是關於擁有第二次機會的故事，而不是緊握著過去的錯誤不放，以及原諒和相互理解的故事。

即使你不是棒球迷，也對棒球沒有太多關心，你還是應該要看這部電影，這不只是關於一個男人打造了成功且有競爭力的團隊，也是關於他和家人、團隊之間的關係，以及他個人的勝利和失敗。

There is nothing impossible for Howard Hughes — the billionaire, legendary aviator and director. The legacy of his father, who was an inventor and successful entrepreneur, is passed on to him, but Howard is not satisfied with the role of being only a rich heir. Each of his projects is grander than the last. If he is to shoot a film, then it must be the most ambitious and technically well-equipped movie in the world; if he has a plane, then it must be the fastest and the biggest. The flight scenes are the most exciting moments of the film.

對Howard Hughes來說沒有什麼是不可能的，他是一名億萬富翁、傳奇飛行員和指揮者，他身為一名發明家和成功企業家的父親將遺產留給了他，但Howard不干只是成為一個富有的繼承者，他所做的每個計畫都比之前的更龐大，如果他要拍一部電影，那就必須是這世上規模最大且技術設備最好的電影，如果他有一架飛機，那就必須是最快且最大的，在電影中最刺激的瞬間就是飛行的場面。

千里之行始於足下。

This is a story about the struggle against disrespect and hatred towards black people and a story about life and the fate of many people who are insulted and humiliated, striving to change their lives for the better. Nevertheless, the film is so light and interesting that you won’t tear your eyes from the screen. It’s a film about people who refuse to keep silent and who are not afraid to speak out.

這是一個關於為了對黑人的不尊重及厭惡而鬥爭的故事，以及許多被辱罵、羞辱和努力改變使生活變得更好的人的人生和命運的故事，不過這部電影非常輕鬆有趣，不會讓你在螢幕前大哭，這是一部關於人們拒絕保持沉默，且不害怕大歹說出口的電影。

你有多常夢想著能夠穿越時空並改變你人生中發生的事？電影的男主角Tim得到了這個機會，不過這不只是另一個動人且愉快的通俗愛情劇，而是一部有傑出演員和重要訊息的奇幻電影。

傑出的藝術家模仿，偉大的藝術家盜竊。

This is a funny film about collections of copyrighted materials in recent years. According to legend, Apple stole ideas from Californian developers, and Microsoft, in its turn, stole those ideas from Apple. Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates state that good artists copy, great artists steal. However, the film proves that, without Jobs’ perfectionism and without Gates’ stubbornness, these valuable ideas could have been lost in the archives of Xerox. I wonder whether the makers of this film have ever had legal proceedings with video pirates?

這是一部集合關於近幾年來侵權事件的搞笑電影，根據傳說，蘋果剽竊了加州的開發公司，而這次輪到微軟剽竊蘋果的點子，史提夫·賈伯斯和比爾·蓋茲都認為傑出的藝術家模仿，偉大的藝術家盜竊，然而，電影證明了如果沒有賈伯斯的完美主義和蓋茲的固執，這些有價值的點子可能就消失在全錄公司的檔案庫裡，我很想知道這部電影的製作人是否有和視頻盜版者進行過訴訟？

Temple Grandin 星星的孩子

我雖然不同，但不低於別人。

This film is about the life of a person with serious mental illness. The filmmakers don’t exaggerate anything but show things as they are when a person with health problems is alienated from society. You wouldn’t dare call Temple's life easy and cheerful. Nevertheless, she doesn't give up.

這部電影是關於一位患有嚴重精神疾病的人的人生，電影製作人並沒有誇大任何東西，而是原封不動的表現出一個有健康問題的人被社會疏離，你不敢說獨自一人的生活很簡單愉快，然而她沒有放棄。
