该片是2013年纪录片《龙老一生》的续集，也是纪录片导演蒋能杰发起的抗战老兵系列纪录片中的一部。
龙运松：一名普通的中国远征军老兵，一直默默生活，不愿谈及英勇往事。龙老在耄耋之年，面对着镜头回顾自己一生；抓壮丁参军、转战南北、妻子另嫁、松山战役、接收日本投降等。
而今， 当年英雄疾病缠身，晚年落寞，老无所依，一直不明白，当年就是抗日了，怎么就成了反革命和兵痞了，还想着晚年能得到国家的认可，2014年龙老归队，而葬礼的悼词让我们反思。
A veteran, Mr. Long’s life was full of legend. Yet, he lived his life in silence and never told others about his experience in the battlefield. There were many scars on his body and he got three shots only in the Songshan Battle. One of them went through between the bones and the scar had been apparently seen so far.
Mr. Long went to the battlefield in the year he got married, where he received a letter from his wife. It read,” I’m going to remarry, may I get your approval?” Later on, Jiang Kai Sing was defeated and asked them to go to Taiwan together. Mr. Long refused,” No, I haven’t seen my parents for years.” However, when he got back to his hometown, his parents passed away soon and his wife had got remarried for two years. After that, he never got married again and lived his whole life in loneliness.
Mr. Long was defined as a bad guy or solider riffraff during the Cultural Revolution period. Afterwards, when people asked him about his experience in the battlefield, he got scared as political investigation came to his mind immediately. “I’ve explained everything in those years, why you’ve come to ask me again? I’ve explained so many times.” To get rehabilitated, he kept visiting leaders of relevant institutions. All his family persuaded him not to do so, because “You’re the Kuomintang’s solider.”
He was getting worse and worse with severe stomach problems, no care from children and high medical fees. He said,” I can’t get cured. If I don’t die this year, I’ll die next year. There’s no point living for a few more years. I’d better die today and I don’t want to be human being next life. It’s too tough.”
Only until 2013, the national Ministry of Civil Affairs announced official documents to rehabilitate the anti-war soldiers. Meanwhile, the ministry promised that there were funds to deal with difficulties in their old ages. When Mr. Long heard this, he could not conceal his excitement with trembling all over. He kept asking,” Is it for real?” However, he had passed away before he received the pension. In Mr. Long’s funeral, a villager announced the memorial speech loudly, which drew us into deep thought……
James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
This new feature-length biographical film tells the extraordinary and dramatic story of the planet's most famous living scientist, told for the first time in his own words and by those closest to him. Made with unique access to his private life, this is an intimate and moving journey into Stephen Hawking's past and present. Interviewees include Stephen Hawking's sister Mary, his ex-wife Jane, carers and students, as well as colleagues such as Roger Penrose, plus Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Jim Carrey, and Sir Richard Branson This inspirational portrait of an iconic figure relates Hawking's incredible personal journey from boyhood underachiever to scientific genius and multi-million-selling author. And it charts how he overcame being diagnosed with motor neurone disease - and being given just two years to live - to make amazing scientific discoveries and become a symbol of triumph over adversity. Born exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo, Hawking grew up in a family some regarded as eccentric. Always asking questions, he was nicknamed 'Einstein' at school. Hawking blossomed at Oxford, although he only spent an hour a day studying. He noticed that he was becoming clumsy and fell over for no apparent reason. He was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, but nevertheless started a family and embarked on his academic career, finding himself at the heart of a searing scientific debate about the origins of the universe. And as he lost the use of his body, Hawking had to find new ways to think. He went on to write the huge bestseller A Brief History of Time, and the film reveals the high and lows of his resulting fame and fortune.
