10.《怒海争锋》

10. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (Peter Weir, 2003)
《怒海争锋》

Peter Weir’s unashamedly old-fashioned and visually stunning adaptation of Patrick O’Brian’s novel is one of the greatest odes to leadership ever committed to celluloid. Australian director Weir has made many terrific films, including Gallipoli, Dead Poets Society, The Year of Living Dangerously, and Witness, but Master and Commander was the pinnacle of his career so far. Nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, it should be essential viewing for any commander-in-chief. Russell Crowe delivers a powerhouse performance as Jack Aubrey, Captain of HMS Surprise, a British warship that hunts and ultimately captures a far larger French adversary during the Napoleonic Wars. Set in 1805, it is an epic tale of heroism and love for country in the face of incredible odds, and a glowing tribute to the grit and determination that forged the British Empire.

剧情简介：1805年，拿破仑在欧陆纵横，而海战方面，只有英国舰队可以与之匹敌。英军杰克（Russell Crowe 饰）船长与自己的军舰惊奇号受命拦截法方军舰地狱号进入南太平洋，两舰在巴西北海岸初次相遇，地狱号凭借优势火力与厚甲将惊奇号击败，杰克依靠浓雾天气勉强得脱。虽然初战不利，但曾经跟随纳尔逊将军的杰克对自己的军舰充满信心，拒绝返航并着手研究对手。不久两舰再次相遇，杰克使用诱饵战术扭转了局势，一路追踪到暴风雨肆虐的合恩角，杰克的执着引起好友船医斯蒂芬的反对，但是杰克拥有一支精英的团队，在种种不利之中，船员们将针对性的训练坚持了下来。斯蒂芬意外受伤让杰克停止追逐，暂留小岛休整，此行意外的为杰克提供了战斗灵感，很快地狱号再次出现，两舰终于迎来了宿命般的对决……

入选理由：表现了强烈的爱国主义情怀和对英雄主义进行了史诗般的赞美。

9.《黑鹰计划》

9. Black Hawk Down (Ridley Scott, 2001)
《黑鹰计划》

Sir Ridley Scott’s searing depiction of the ill-fated US raid on Mogadishu in 1993, which left 19 American servicemen dead, was released just months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States and the launch of the War on Terror. Based on the book by Mark Bowden, it won Academy Awards for Best Film Editing and Sound, and Scott was nominated for Best Director. Many critics enthusiastically dubbed Black Hawk Down an anti-war film, and it is in some respects a cautionary tale about the perils of nation-building. But I regard it above all as an extraordinarily powerful and deeply patriotic tribute to the heroism and bravery of the US military, faced with overwhelming odds in a hostile city dominated by brutal Somali warlords. It is essentially a story of incredible sacrifice and camaraderie in the heat of battle, and ranks alongside Zulu, Saving Private Ryan and A Bridge Too Far as one of the greatest war films of all time.

剧情简介：1992年，连年的部落战争令东非国家索马里山河破败，民不聊生，由此引发的大饥荒更造成三十万人死亡。掌控首都摩加迪休的独裁者默罕默德•法拉•艾迪德抢走国际组织的救援物资，此举引起世人公愤。丧心病狂的艾迪德向国际维和组织宣战，美国方面派出160名特种部队成员前往摩加迪休以推翻艾迪德政权。 　　
这群满腔热血的战士信心十足，然而却因情报搜集不足而使战事陷入胶着状态。在一次追捕艾迪德政权两大高官的行动中，特种部队受到索马里民兵的顽强抵抗。双方在市中心展开激烈对峙，美军一架黑鹰直升机受到攻击坠落市区，机组人员危在旦夕。为了营救同伴，一小队特种部队士兵深入虎穴。在接下来的15小时里，他们经历了人间最难以想象的修罗场……

入选理由：经典的反战影片，强烈谴责了独裁政权的统治，赞扬了美军士兵的牺牲精神和人道主义力量。

8.《指环王》系列

8. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Peter Jackson, 2001, 2002, 2003)
《指环王》系列

All three parts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy were great pieces of cinema – The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and finally The Return of the King, which won Best Picture at the 2004 Academy Awards. J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of Lord of the Rings, was a devout Catholic and conservative, and a close friend of C.S. Lewis at Oxford. His vision of a mighty battle between good and evil in the realms of Middle Earth was brilliantly transferred to the screen by New Zealand director Peter Jackson, perfectly fitting a post 9/11 world where the forces of freedom found themselves pitted against a barbaric enemy.

剧情简介：比尔博•巴金斯是100多岁的哈比人，住在故乡夏尔，生性喜欢冒险，在年轻时的一次探险经历中，他从怪物咕噜手中得到了至尊魔戒，这枚戒指是黑暗魔君索伦打造的至尊魔戒，拥有奴役世界的邪恶力量，能够统领其他几枚力量之戒，在3000年前的人类联盟和半兽人大军的战役中，联盟取得了胜利，并得到了至尊魔戒，数千年的辗转后，魔戒落到咕噜手中，被比尔博碰巧得到……

入选理由：以魔幻战争的形式重现了正义与邪恶之争，特别是当正义自由一方受到强大敌人威胁后迸发出的勇气和力量，都相当正气凌然。

7.《角斗士》

7. Gladiator (Ridley Scott, 2000)
《角斗士》

Ridley Scott is without a doubt one of the finest directors of the modern era, and preceded Black Hawk Down with his masterful Best Picture winner Gladiator. The tale of an enslaved former Roman general, Maximus (played by Russell Crowe), who becomes a gladiator and brings down a corrupt Emperor, features some of the most exciting action sequences ever filmed, backed by Hanns Zimmer’s soaring soundtrack. In essence this is a movie about confronting evil and destroying it. There is not an ounce of appeasement or the whiff of “engagement” in Maximus’s blood, only the desire to avenge the murder of his family and see justice carried out. It is the sort of uncompromising movie experience guaranteed to send pacifists and lily-livered liberals running for the exits.

剧情简介：马克西蒙斯（路赛尔·克劳）是罗马帝国战功显赫，受人拥戴的大将军。老国王马库斯·奥利利乌斯（理查德·哈里斯）对大将军赏识有加，有意加冕于他。老国王对将军这种超越亲情的宠爱自然招来太子康莫迪乌斯的妒忌与不安，太子伺机杀害父亲，抢先登上王位，并马上下令诛杀大将军一家……

入选理由：以一己之力反抗暴力和不公，角斗士所表现的是弱小群体面对强权时所产生的惊人力量。

6.《当幸福来敲门》

6. The Pursuit of Happyness (Gabriele Muccino, 2006)
《当幸福来敲门》

This Will Smith vehicle, based on the autobiographical bestseller by Chris Gardner, is one of the most powerful tributes to the free market and the value of individual responsibility ever made. Smith plays an impoverished entrepreneur from a humble background in 1980s San Francisco who through sheer determination and strength of human spirit defies all odds to become a stockbroker with a top investment firm, before making his fortune. Smith’s character embodies the can-do spirit of Reagan’s America, and rejects the welfare state in favour of the capitalist ideal, while bringing up a young son on his own. The Pursuit of Happyness is an inspiring and often deeply moving tribute to the American dream, and one of the great conservative movies of this generation.

剧情简介：克里斯•加纳（威尔•史密斯饰）用尽全部积蓄买下了高科技治疗仪，到处向医院推销，可是价格高昂，接受的人不多。就算他多努力都无法提供一个良好的生活环境给妻儿，妻子（桑迪•纽顿）最终选择离开家。从此他带着儿子克里斯托夫（贾登•史密斯）相依为命。克里斯好不容易争取回来了一个股票投资公司实习的机会，就算没有报酬，成功机会只有成功机会只有百分之五，他仍努力奋斗，儿子是他的力量。他看尽白眼，与儿子躲在地铁站里的公共厕所里，住在教堂的收容所里……

入选理由：硬汉威尔斯密斯难得的文艺片，述说了小人物白手起家的奋斗历程，其中主人公的奋斗和坚持都很值得我们学习。正气和感人有时并不只出现在战争场面中。

正气指数：★★☆

5.《蝙蝠侠前传2：黑暗骑士》

5. The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan, 2008)
《蝙蝠侠前传2：黑暗骑士》

Christopher Nolan’s global mega hit raked in over $1 billion worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. Featuring some of the most striking set designs since Blade Runner, Nolan’s towering vision of Gotham City looked glorious in IMAX, and was a ground-breaking cinematic achievement. Heath Ledger’s pitch-perfect performance as The Joker deservedly won him a posthumous Best Supporting Actor award. It is though its depiction of Batman’s relentless war against the Joker’s campaign of terror, which marks The Dark Knight as a standout conservative film. The Dark Knight himself, played to perfection by Christian Bale, is unwavering in his determination to defeat his adversary, whatever the cost.

剧情简介：从亲眼目睹父母被人杀死的阴影中走出来的“蝙蝠侠”，经历了成长之后，已经不再是那个桀骜不的孤单英雄了。在警官吉姆·戈登和检查官哈维·登特的通力帮助下，“蝙蝠侠”无后顾之忧地继续满世界的奔波，与日益增长起来的犯罪威胁做着永无休止的争斗……

入选理由：作为经典的英雄人物，蝙蝠侠的正气指数当然不容怀疑。前传中交代了蝙蝠侠成长的心路历程，也让我们看到英雄对抗“恐怖主义”的毅然决心。

4.《拆弹部队》

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 has already been nominated for three Golden Globes. It is a searing and tense war film that has been the surprise hit of the year in the United States. What is refreshing about the film is its willingness to portray the US military presence in Iraq in an overwhelmingly sympathetic light, and the al-Qaeda-backed enemy as barbaric and fundamentally evil. The Hurt Locker is by far the best conservative film of 2009, and one 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.《卢旺达饭店》

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 the face of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, Terry George’s film vividly captured the horror of the mass slaughter of the Tutsis by the Hutus, which left one million people dead. The film’s moving true story is told through the eyes of Paul Rusesabagina (played brilliantly by Don Cheadle), a hotel owner who selflessly saved the lives of over a thousand refugees from the minority Tutsi tribe. It is a hugely important film with a powerful conservative message on two levels – it demonstrated the impotence and moral bankruptcy of the UN’s leadership in the face of genocide as well as the limits of multilateralism, and ultimately made a compelling case for the use of force by the free world to act against evil. It is a film that former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan (head of UN peacekeeping at the time), should be made to watch over 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。

2.《他人的生活》

2. The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, 2006)
《他人的生活》

There have been surprisingly few films made about the massive human cost inflicted by Soviet Communism, and its ruthless dominance of eastern and central Europe over the course of nearly four decades. The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen) is one of the very finest, and is a damning indictment of the totalitarian surveillance society run by the Secret Police in East Germany. Set in East Berlin in 1984, the film tells the ultimately redemptive tale of a conflicted Stasi officer (played by Ulrich Mühe, in his final role) tasked with spying on a dissident playwright (Sebastian Koch). The Lives of Others deservedly won the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2007 Oscars, and was a huge success in its native Germany, where it forced the country to once again confront the ghosts of its recent past and the huge pain and suffering inflicted by Communist rule in the east.

剧情简介：1984年的东德，整个社会笼罩在国家安全局的高压统治之下，特工魏斯曼（乌尔利希·穆厄饰）奉命监听剧作家德莱曼（塞巴斯蒂安·寇治饰）和他妻子演员克里斯蒂娜（玛蒂娜·杰蒂克饰）的生活，监听过程中，魏斯曼渐渐对这家人的生活产生了兴趣，开始暗中帮助他们。一篇刊登在西德《明镜》报上的文章引起了特工头目的注意，他们认为这篇文章是德莱曼写的，并逮捕了克里斯蒂娜，希望能够从她口中得出她丈夫的秘密？而审问克里斯蒂娜的正是魏斯曼……

入选理由：近年来最成功的德语电影，反应了特殊时期人与人之间的美好真挚。影片最后5分钟的情节设定尤为感人，是适合静静坐下来、细细品味的好电影。

1.《斯巴达300勇士》

1. 300 (Zack Snyder, 2007)
《斯巴达300勇士》

Any film that prompts howls of indignation from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his brutal acolytes in Tehran deserves recognition. 300 achieved that in spades with its fiery retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, where three hundred Spartan warriors took on a vast army of Persians commanded by Xerxes. Zack Snyder’s faithful adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel featured incredible battle sequences shot with the latest digital technology, and proved a major box office hit. As he contemplates how to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, Barack Obama should ditch his failed appeasement strategy and take some tips from the Spartans about standing your ground in the face of an evil tyrant.

剧情简介：这部电影描述了人类史上最残酷的战争之一：温泉关之战。公元前480年，波斯国王薛西斯一世（罗德里格•桑托罗 Rodrigo Santoro 饰）亲率30万大军征战希腊。希腊各个城邦迅速派出军队结成了联军，准备抵御波斯军队的入侵。 　　
防线的最前线设在希腊的温泉关，此处由斯巴达城的国王列奥尼达（杰拉德•巴特勒 Gerard Butler 饰）率领本城300精兵和联军4000余人镇守。由于叛徒的出卖，希腊军队被波斯军队抄到了身后形成围剿之势。列奥尼达为了保存联军实力，让联军首先撤退，自己率领300精兵死守温泉关断后。 　　
数以十万波斯大军浩浩商商蜂拥而至，自知必死的斯巴达士兵反而士气高涨，在战斗中爆发出惊人的战力。整个战争整整持续了2天，最后列奥尼达和他的300精兵全部阵亡，而波斯军队则损失了20000多士兵，薛西斯一世的两个兄弟也在此役中战死……

入选理由：西方历史上著名的以少敌多的战役。也因为如此，显得尤为壮烈。“悲壮”可以说是这部影片最好的入选理由。
