第一篇：克莱默夫妇 英文影评

“Kramer vs.Kramer” is the kind of movie which grows on you.It is so well made that you may not be aware at the time how much skill and artistry have gone into it.It is a whole bunch of other movies rolled into one, but it is not derivative.It is definitely singular.It covers old ground with integrity and a high degree of insight.It takes familiar people, familiar situations and then treats them with a mixture of intelligence and art rarely combined on the screen.The movie is about the breakup of a marriage, about two people who drifted apart without knowing it at the time, about their child who is caught in the crossfire, about their friends and--most of all--about characters who grow and change.It is that last aspect of “Kramer vs.Kramer” which make all the other aspects come together in something other than the soap opera the ingredients suggest.The film says much without preaching, is a product of our times without being trendy.Screenwriter-director Robert Benton has managed to strip away everything from the story except what really counts.Nestor Almendros' photography zeros in on people in a way to stress their isolation, their moods.The spare music, bits of Purcell and Vivaldi, add to the atmosphere.Most of all, “Kramer vs.Kramer” is blessed with one of the best casts ever assembled for a movie.Dustin Hoffman plays Ted Kramer, a successful ad agency executive with success-bent workaholic habits.Meryl Streep is Joanna, his wife, whose quiet desperation over her loss of identity and self worth have gone unnoticed by her husband.The movie opens on the isolated image of the sad faced mother saying good night and, as it turns out, goodbye as well to her sleeping son, Billy(Justin Henry).In spite of her action, some sympathy will be with her in the beginning because of her husband's unawareness, his we'll-talk-about-it-tomorrow attitude.>From there on the film becomes the story of a growing father-son relationship.In a series of short, sometimes funny, often poignant scenes, the two learn to cope with life and with each other.There is a gradual transition from awkwardness to harmony, from independence to mutual dependence.Ted Kramer changes from ad man to father, and as priorities shift, his career goes down the drain.There are wonderful father-son scenes--confrontation, fun and sadness.One particularly moving moment occurs when the father assures his son that the boy's mother did not leave because of dislike for the boy, but that it was his, the father's fault.When Joanna Kramer re-enters the movie two-thirds of the way through to claim her son, sympathy will have shifted entirely to the father.The ensuing court battle has its moments of nastiness, but there are indications--a look, a half phrase--of a lingering affection and respect if not love.Benton presents it as a no-win situation, inflicts no one with a villain label.The ending may seem contrived, an attempt to make everyone happy.But it is also an ending which goes full circle with its image of sadness and frustration.Hoffman has never been better.All the nuances are there--cockiness, anger, worry, determination, sadness--without giving the impression of overacting.Meryl Streep, in a brief role, once again shows what a skillful actress can do.There are few performers who can express pain and joy with a look, a glance the way she can.Jane Alexander is perfect as the neighbor with affection for both parties.Howard Duff as the attorney manages to let you know that he's a high priced lawyer even before he mentions his fee.But it is young Justin Henry who Is the miracle of the movie.His mood, his actions and reactions, his laughter, his tears are right for every scene.He gives the impression that the camera was eavesdropping on real life.It's possible that “Kramer vs.Kramer” will evoke reactions colored by the sex and/or experiences of each particular viewer.But I can think of no other of the growing group of movies about marital relationships which treats each of the parties with greater objectivity, with fewer attempts at setting up a good vs.evil situation.

第二篇：克莱默夫妇影评1

这是一部极其普通的电影,普通得像电影台平素晚上最爱播放的美国不知名电影。内容也很简单——一个平凡的父亲因为妻子的离去不得不面对家庭与事业的压力，而妻子回来后又与她争起了孩子的抚养权。这又是一部极其眩目的电影，它曾获九项奥斯卡提名，夺得最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳男主角、最佳女配角、最佳剧本五项大奖。

一部有明星却是低成本小制作的家庭情节剧以五项均相当有分量的奥斯卡奖项打败了科波拉的《现代启示录》成为当届奥斯卡的最大赢家。很多人都将《克莱默夫妇》的成功归因于美国观众已不再愿意重视越战带来的伤痛，而急需这样一部温情的片子来抚慰心灵，从而忽略了其艺术性。这样的论调是有失公正的，仔细分析《克莱默夫妇》，会发现它在电影叙事上的精致可以说是新好莱坞发展到此时的一个集大成的表现。而四位主要演员精妙的演出更是为电影锦上添花。

本片反映出七十年代美国出现的单亲家庭以及由此引起的种种问题，题材严肃但处理不失幽默笔触，演员表演非常到位，极其自然。耶鲁戏剧高材生斯特里普亲自改写了法庭戏的台词，使得霍夫曼极为不满，认为她抢风头。

影片反映了美国社会中一个相当普遍的问题：家庭婚姻问题。个人的理想、事业与家庭生活之间的矛盾导致了夫妇冲突和家庭离异的悲剧。这在当时的美国具有深厚的现实基础。同时影片还涉及到了西方社会中的一个十分敏感的问题：妇女解放问题。在影片的深层含义上，导演对男女两性的关系如何调整、如何实现以及妇女应如何保卫自己的独立个性和追求生活意义等问题作了深入的探讨，这也是影片的意义之所在。

《克莱默夫妇》中三个大人可以说都是有缺点的，并且都在故事的发展中，在观众的注目中逐渐发生着改变。编剧尼古拉斯·卡赞说，“你要让每个人物都去学习新的东西„„”。在故事的开始，父亲泰德不关心家庭生活，忽视老婆的感受，甚至都不知道儿子上几年级，以养家为托辞处处摆出一副他在为整个家庭付出所有，而老婆居然情绪不稳，抛夫弃子而去；母亲乔安娜软弱，不自信，与丈夫沟通有障碍却一直在躲避，终于不可遏制地爆发时显得情绪化甚至不负责任；而离婚女人玛格丽特，可以被看作是一个假女权主义，她的坚强背后其实也是柔弱和需要关爱的。在这样一个故事里没有一个人是完美的，所有人物都是在经历中学习，丰富人格。

好莱坞的商业电影无论是什么类型，基本遵循的编剧指南是不变的，概括起来就是“一部电影的主要人物应该追求重要的目标，并且面对令人生畏的障碍。冲突应当持续不断，贯穿在整部电影以及每一场景中。行动必须要与因果链条紧密关联。主要事件必须予以预示，但又不能明显到观众能够做出预测的程度。张力应当在影片进城来凸现，直至高潮出现，所有的问题都得到解决。”如果说前一段的建制是建立观众对主人公的认同感，那么接下来要布置的所有障碍都会刺激到观众的神经，使观众感同身受。所以从此开始一直到法庭开庭之前的剧情，就是在积蓄所有的障碍，让主人公的境遇到最惨。这已经是好莱坞最常用的手段了。先是比利的意外摔伤，有经验的观众一定能够感到不安，这不会是一次简单的摔伤，会给之后主人公的主要行动目的——夺回抚养权造成阻碍，虽然在此刻行动目的还没有揭示。但紧接着夫妇二人的见面将一切行动目的呈上桌面，影片从此刻开始酝酿提速，这是一个积累的过程，因为最后法庭审判的高潮将以这一段作为最重要的基础。泰德丢掉了工作，这意味着失去了官司取胜的一切可能，于是一天之内找到工作，还是在圣诞节的前一个礼拜五。这形成了这一大段戏里的一个小高潮。好的剧本就是让一整个剧本的叙事走向成一个勺子形，同时让每一个桥段里也有高潮，才能时时牵动观众的情绪。泰德以他的坚持和能力在一天之内找到工作的喜悦却被儿子和母亲的见面所带来的忧伤抵消了，紧接着到来的正是全剧的高潮——庭审。在庭审一段，没有太多的动作，大部分是通过言语和眼神交待的，这部分应该是剧作很花功夫的，因为这一部分庭审，尤其是泰德的律师发问的那段应当说是导演拍此片的社会意义所在。而在两场庭审戏的中间，插入的是一段父子俩看似与主题不想关的闲聊。这段闲聊是和前面比利打翻果汁浸湿父亲工作文件的场景相同，以做呼应，告诉观众法庭的决断会破坏的将是这样一对和谐的父子关系。

《克莱默夫妇》看似温和，最后的结局也是一个完满结局。但导演对于题材本身的选择和挖掘就注定了它是引人深思的。电影在流畅的叙事中暗含了女性在婚姻中的情感问题，甚至触及了在当时仍然敏感得女权问题。但这些都是故事背后的，并不妨碍普通观众随着电影的预设伏线体验剧中的人物情感。也许这也正是一部好的电影的意义所在，展现问题，给观众以思考的空间，却不灌输式的解决问题，事实上再好的电影也不可能解决现实问题。

第三篇：克莱默夫妇观后感(英文)

I am deeply impressed by the movie Kramer vs.Kramer with its plots.Furthermore, it perfectly reflects the present family conflicts which do exist nowadays.Men are used to be considered as the bread hunter of each family.By the same token to Ted.Ted received a big customer,if he succeed ,the boss would add his shares of the company and promote himas the next creative director.However, Success can not stop the failure of marriage.He was just such a hard working person that he couldn't realize his family conflicts had been so serious that his wife decided to leave him as well as her beloved son.Through trial and error, he finally could build a life together with his son Billy.What's more, the stereotypes of our society have forced us to think that man is naturally not a better parent than woman.But we can see that, Ted had proved that was wrong, and he eventually found that the loving relationship between Billy and him would be unshakable and eternal.Joanna was the symbol to all of the housewives.Her behaviors had best demonstrated a woman's protest for being neglected as a person with no right to live an independent life.After Leaving a year, She came back to compete for his son's custody.Sothe couple had to go to court.Finally, Joanna won.However, she gave up custody of the children.Because she had seen that her husband is no longer the only know to make money workaholic.Being a good parent, it has to do with constancy,patience, listening, confidence as well as love.His husband Ted made it.In the end, She chose to give up.Sometimes, give up is more.Nowadays, many wives no longer spend all their time in housekeeping as well as baby sitting.Not only would they struggle to find their own identity in the society, but also build their career lives.In my poor opinion, all the family members should talk to confide what have happened and what they think in their mind, which is a best way to maintain our family relationship.

第四篇：克莱默夫妇的影评或者观后感doc

Kramer vs.Kramer Today I watched a good movie Kramer vs.Kramer in our class, which I had watched it in my dormitory before.I loved this movie very much.Kramer vs.Kramer was a film about a porced couple dealing with their family, career and child.The hero of Kramer vs.Kramer was Ted.The heroine was his wife Joanna.They had a lovely child named Billy.Kramer worked as an advertisement clerk in a company to support his family.He was very busy in his work and has little communication with his wife and son.Joanna was a housewife.She didn’t have a job and what she did everyday was to do the housework and took care of their son.Joanna once had a job, but after she got married, she quit her job.Without Kramer’s any care about her inner thought, Joanna felt very upset about her present life.One day, Joanna couldn’t stand her lifestyle any more.So, she turned Ted for help, but Ted refused to listen to her.Though she loved Billy very much, she leaved away alone.Since then, Ted’s life has fall into a mess suddenly.As he couldn’t deal well with both his career and his son, he was always blamed by his boss.Fortunately, his neighbor often came to help him.Through many things, the love between Ted and Billy was very deep and firm.One year later, Joanna came back and

demanded to take her son away and Joanna won the right to breed her son in the court.But at last, Joanna gave the right back to Ted.I thought it was a happy ending.In this movie, there were some scenes that moved me most.Ted often took Billy out to play, but one day Billy fell off a jungle gym and had a severe accident.Ted picked up Billy and rushed to a nearby hospital.Here, we can see Ted’s anxieties of and worries about his son.In the court, Ted said, “I’d like to know......what law says a woman is a better parent simply by virtue of her sex? I’ve had time to think about what makes a good parent.It has to do with constancy.It has to do with patience......listening to him......or pretending to listen when you can't anymore.It has to do with love like she was saying.I don't know where it says a woman has a corner on that market......that a man has any less of those emotions than a woman.Billy has a home with me.I've made it the best I could.It's not perfect.I'm not a perfect parent.Sometimes I don't have enough patience and I forget that he's a little kid.But I'm there.We eat breakfast and he talks to me and then we go to school.At night we have dinner together and we talk and I read to him and.....And we built a life together and we love each other.” Here, we can see that through Ted’s hard efforts, he changed his idea and took good care of his son.And he acknowledged his mistakes when Joanna stayed with him.He loved his son very much and expressed indirectly that he didn’t want

to separate with his son.What’s more, we also could know that Ted became a good father from just only a family-provider.In our reality, people should have more communications with each other and solve the problems in time.We should also treat the right women’s and men’s correctly.It is unfair to say woman is a better parent merely because of her sex.A man also has the right to love his child and his emotion is no less than a woman’s.And women also have rights to work, to take the most use of their capabilities.
