1. Bruce Almighty

1.《冒牌天神》

Bruce Almighty is a fun yet inspiring film with a meaningful message. It’s about a TV reporter (Jim Carrey) who constantly has bad things happening to him. He complains that God is doing a terrible job — at which point God appears to him and offers him all his powers to see if he can do a better job. Along the way, he learns lessons that change his life.

《冒牌天神》是一部非常有趣而且鼓舞人心的电影，它传递给人们许多有意义的道理。影片主要内容是一位电视台记者金·凯瑞遇到了一连串很糟糕的事情，于是他开始抱怨上帝，这时上帝出现在他面前，将自己的能力赋予给他，看他能否更好的管理这个世界。在这个过程中，金·凯瑞学到了很多东西，最终改变了自己的生活。

On the whole I think the film can place greater focus on the life lessons — the humor tends to take over the film sometimes, possibly to cater to the mainstream audience. Great weekend film to watch with friends.

虽然这部电影整体上主打幽默风，属于喜剧片，但我认为它其实应该重点突出“如何让人们更好的生活”这一主题，不过也可能是为了迎合观众的需要，所以才在影片中增添了许多喜剧成分。总之，这是一部可以和好朋友在周末一起看的不错的影片。

2. The Peaceful Warrior

2. 《和平战士》

A friend read my blog when I started it back in 2008, and told me that I had to watch the Peaceful Warrior. He said that many of the things I talk about on PE are similar to the film’s messages. So he shared with me his copy of the movie and I watched it.

2008年，我刚开始写博客。一位朋友在浏览了我的博客之后，推荐我去看《和平战士》这部电影。他说，我在体育方面的很多看法与这部电影所传达的信息十分相似。之后他把这部电影传给了我，我就去看了看。

I like the Peaceful Warrior and there are many meaningful messages scattered throughout the show. In fact, I’ve included several dialogue in the movie in my inspiring quotes series. Some of my favorites are:

推荐原因:
我很喜欢《和平战士》这部电影，它传递给我们许多有意义的思想。在这部电影的诸多励志台词中，我最喜欢的有下面几句:

That said, there’s definitely some good stuff in this movie, especially as evidenced by the rave reviews by others. If you’re feeling jaded, losing their passion, or looking for a deeper meaning in life, this movie is a great starting point.

但是，这部电影一定也传达出了很多有意义的思想，不然怎么会好评如潮呢。如果你对生活感到厌倦，失去激情，或者想要寻找生活中更深层次的意义，那么你可以从这部电影开始看起。

3. The Family Man

3.《居家男人》

What I do like is the film gets you thinking about what you’re currently doing in life. If you continue what you’re doing today, where is it going to lead you? Would you have a lifetime of achievements and wealth, but no real friends or loved ones to speak of? Would you have lived a life conforming to norms while never taking action on your goals? A life living for others but not for yourself? Would you be someone bitter at life and at the end of it yourself?

我觉得这部电影最有意义的地方在于它会引发你对于生活的不断思考——如果你一直继续做着每天都在重复的事，那么你最终会变成一个怎样的人？你这一生会不会只拥有成就和财富，却没有真正的朋友或爱人？你会过着循规蹈矩的生活，从来不为自己的目标采取行动吗？你是为他人而活还是为自己而活？你会不会时时感到痛苦？

And would this be a life you want? If not, what are you going to do to change this outcome?

你会安享晚年生活吗？现在的生活是你想要的吗？如果不是的话，那你将如何改变这一现状？

4. 《神奇遥控器》

Click is about a man (Adam Sandler) who receives a magical remote controller that allows him to rewind, stop, and fast forward through time. He uses it to skip past moments that he finds mundane/boring like family dinner, shower, and sickness. Initially this seems fun, but after a while he realizes that it comes with unexpected consequences — which you have to watch to find out.

《神奇遥控器》主要讲述的是由亚当·桑德勒饰演的男主角收到了一个可以暂停、前进或倒退时间的神奇遥控器，于是他用这个神奇的遥控器来跳过那些他觉得平凡又无聊的时刻，比如说家庭晚餐时光、洗浴时间和痛苦的患病阶段。刚开始的时候他觉得这一切特别有意思，可如果你仔细观看的话，你会发现到了后来，他意识到这把神奇的遥控器给他的生活带来了意想不到的事情。
