4. The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow, 2009)

　　《拆弹部队》

　　Kathryn Bigelow’s critically acclaimed tribute to the heroism of US Army bomb disposal experts in Iraq hasalready been nominated for three Golden Globes. It is a searing andtense war film that has been the surprise hit of the year in the UnitedStates. What is refreshing about the film is its willingness to portraythe US military presence in Iraq in an overwhelmingly sympatheticlight, and the al-Qaeda-backed enemy as barbaric and fundamentallyevil. The Hurt Locker is by far the best conservative film of 2009, andone of the greatest of the decade。

　　剧情简介：美军侵入伊拉克后，上士威廉姆斯•詹姆斯(杰瑞米•雷纳 Jeremy Renner饰)被调入陆军亡命连拆弹组，接替刚在巴格达执行任务中牺牲的同事。拆弹组另两人，负责联络的士官桑波恩(安东尼•麦凯 Anthony Mackie饰)和负责掩护的特种兵欧文(布莱恩•杰拉蒂 Brian Geraghty饰)对意气用事的威廉姆斯相当反感。但在联合国大楼的拆弹行动中，抗拒命令强行拆弹的威廉姆斯却得到上校瑞德(大卫•莫尔斯 David Morse饰)的赞赏。在一次仓库拆弹任务中，威廉姆斯认为被用作尸体炸弹的伊拉克小男孩是他在军营认识的卖盗版DVD的贝克汉姆(克里斯托佛•萨伊Christopher Sayegh 饰)。小贝克汉姆的死让威廉姆斯更为疯狂，竟私离军营单枪匹马入城调查……

　　入选理由：称颂了军队的爱国主义精神，但小编以为有点太“美利坚”主义了。

　　3. Hotel Rwanda (Terry George, 2004)

　　《卢旺达饭店》

　　Hotel Rwanda is one of the most powerful films ever made depicting genocide. In its unflinching portrayal of the weakness and indifference of the United Nations and the broader international community in theface of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, Terry George’s film vividly capturedthe horror of the mass slaughter of the Tutsis by the Hutus, which leftone million people dead. The film’s moving true story is told throughthe eyes of Paul Rusesabagina (played brilliantly by Don Cheadle)， ahotel owner who selflessly saved the lives of over a thousand refugeesfrom the minority Tutsi tribe. It is a hugely important film with apowerful conservative message on two levels – it demonstrated theimpotence and moral bankruptcy of the UN’s leadership in the face ofgenocide as well as the limits of multilateralism, and ultimately madea compelling case for the use of force by the free world to act againstevil. It is a film that former United Nations Secretary General KofiAnnan (head of UN peacekeeping at the time)， should be made to watchover and over again。

　　剧情简介：影片来源于一个真实的故事。保罗 •卢斯赛伯吉纳(唐•钱德尔 Don Cheadle饰)在乱世中开了一家饭店，这家饭店在杀戮如麻的世界中，就像一个绿洲供人休憩，救人性命。事件源于两国元首的罹难：他们分别是胡图族和图西族的首领，同乘一班机，却被意外击落。这样一来，两族人之间的猜忌和争斗开始了，胡图族人开始疯狂杀戮图西族人。

　　而保罗是一个胡图族人，他有着图西族的妻子和朋友，为了挽救身边的人，挽救一个民族，他在越来越严重的局势中，奋力救活1000个难民性命，卢旺达饭店上演了一幕幕感人至深的故事。

　　入选理由：这是迄今最优秀的一部描写种族屠杀的电影。小小的一方饭店，在乱世中让人们看到最基本、最真挚的那些人类品质：爱、真善美……那么脆弱、又那么有力。
