In honour of Father's Day – on 15 June – Amazon is beginning a special promotion on certain films, including Invictus and Kelly's Heroes. These seem to me only vaguely connected with the theme of fatherhood. Here, on the other hand, is a list of 12 Father's Day films, a dad's dozen that you can experience on DVD or at the cinema with your dad, or perhaps your son, on Sunday week.

　　為了慶祝六月十五號的父親節(jié)，亞馬遜開始了一些電影的特別推薦，包括《成事在人》和《戰(zhàn)略大作戰(zhàn)》。這些電影似乎和“父愛”這個主題關(guān)聯(lián)不大。以下是我列出的十二部關(guān)于父親的電影。在這個周末，帶上你的父親或者兒子，一起到電影院或者在DVD前共享視覺盛宴吧。

　　Finding Nemo (2003, dirs Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich) 《海底總動員》 (2003，導(dǎo)演：　安德魯·斯坦頓 李·安魁克 )

　　Marlin, voiced by Albert Brooks in this classic Pixar animation, is a widower clownfish who becomes aneurotically over-protective dad. His smothering attitude so infuriates his little son, Nemo, that the little fish swims defiantly away and is captured by spaners. The father must then go on an epic journey to rescue the son.

　　小編說：活潑好動的小丑魚尼莫，不幸被人捕捉，變成魚缸中眾多觀賞魚的一分子。心急如焚的老爹決心要遠(yuǎn)度重洋試圖找到尼莫……

　　Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980, dir Irwin Kershner) 《星球大戰(zhàn)之帝國大反擊》 (1980，導(dǎo)演：歐文·克什納)

　　In this episode, Darth Vader becomes obsessed with finding his young enemy Luke Skywalker, who, as he battles the forces of darkness, has at least gained some help and instruction from the quasi-paternal mentors in his life: Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. But sadly, just as you can choose your friends but not your relatives, you can choose your father figures but not your actual father.

　　小編說：在遭受挫折后，強(qiáng)大的帝國發(fā)起反撲。影片中有著極為精彩的戰(zhàn)斗場面，但故事的著重點(diǎn)卻是在于影片主人公盧克的修行與成長。

　　Kramer vs Kramer (1979, dir Robert Benton) 《克萊默夫婦》(1979，導(dǎo)演：羅伯特·本頓)

　　Many consider this Dustin Hoffman's finest hour; others consider it an exercise in male self-pity. Hoffman plays the spanorced dad who must care for his son on his own, and must then battle for custody in the spanorce courts. One must have a heart of stone to remain dry-eyed for the scene in which he has to explain to his son the judge's verdict.

　　小編說：妻子突然離家出走，泰德父子倆相依為命地生活著。漸漸地父子倆已是親密無間，難以分離了。

　　Paper Moon (1973, dir Peter Bogdanovich) 《紙?jiān)铝痢?1973，導(dǎo)演：彼得·博格達(dá)諾維奇)

　　This is another daddy-daughter movie and the one film that stars a real-life father and child team. Ryan and Tatum O'Neal play Moses and Addie, a con team who travel around the US during the Great DePssion Pying on the vulnerable and credulous.

小編說：這部根據(jù)喬·戴維·布朗的小說《埃雷·普利》改編的描寫社會現(xiàn)實(shí)的影片表現(xiàn)了人類彼此間的友誼和同情，讓主人公跋涉千里，并遭遇了重重困難，細(xì)膩而真實(shí)地刻畫了人物性格和現(xiàn)實(shí)生活，被評論家譽(yù)為“具敘事詩般”的旅游影片。

　　Late Spring (1949, dir Yasujiro Ozu) 《晚春》 (1949，導(dǎo)演：小津安二郎)

　　Father's Day discussions tend to centre on a father's relationship with his son – here is something about a father and daughter. Chishu Ryu plays an elderly widower who is cared for by his beautiful, shy daughter, played by Setsuku Hara. He is concerned that she should get married, but she is not particularly keen to leave him. He resorts to subterfuge to marry her off: is this a kind of betrayal?

　　小編說：紀(jì)子與喪偶的父親相伴，情愿錯過婚期;父親不愿耽誤女兒的終身幸福，謊稱自己要再娶。紀(jì)子信以為真，終于決定嫁人。婚期日，父女倆最后一次結(jié)伴旅行去到京都。回來后，有情人終成眷屬，冷清的家中只剩下父親一個人。

　　The Son's Room (2001, dir Nanni Moretti) 《兒子的房間》 (2001，導(dǎo)演：南尼·莫萊蒂)

　　Commenters on this blog are sick of me going on about this film, so I will only say that it's a deeply moving study of a psychotherapist and easygoing paterfamilias, played by Moretti, and how he and his family respond to a terrible calamity.

　　小編說：本片獲戛納金棕櫚獎，導(dǎo)演用劇情片的傳統(tǒng)格式娓娓道出一個感傷家庭的重建故事，尤其在刻畫人物的復(fù)雜心態(tài)變化上細(xì)致入微。

　　To Kill a Mockingbird (1962, dir Robert Mulligan) 《殺死一只知更鳥》(1962，導(dǎo)演：羅伯特·馬麗根)

　　Gregory Peck gives a performance of granite decency and integrity as Atticus Finch, the widower and Alabama lawyer who defends a black man against a wrongful charge of rape. This is one of the most highly charged depictions of fatherhood in Hollywood history.

　　小編說：本片是好萊塢表現(xiàn)種族關(guān)系問題最有影響、給人印象最深的影片之一。派克扮演的律師乃正義的化身，成為經(jīng)典的英雄形象。

　　Bicycle Thieves (1948, dir Vittorio De Sica) 《偷自行車的人》 (1948，導(dǎo)演：維托里奧·德·西卡)

　　You must have a heart of stone not to be moved by this classic neorealist story of a poor man and his young son, as they search the streets of Rome to find his stolen bicycle, which he needs for his job – putting up movie posters. As their odyssey continues, the audience becomes aware of something that perhaps eludes the desperate man: his real treasure is not the bike, but his boy.

小編說：意大利新現(xiàn)實(shí)主義電影的經(jīng)典代表作，也是導(dǎo)演德西卡享譽(yù)最高的一部電影，充滿對下層社會的人文關(guān)懷，感人而不煽情。

　　The Pursuit of Happyness (2006, dir Gabriele Muccino) 《當(dāng)幸福來敲門》(2006，導(dǎo)演：加布里爾·穆西諾)

　　This is a real tear-jerker, and not a very cool film to like, but it's still very heartfelt. Will Smith plays Chris Gardner, a struggling salesman and single dad, on the very brink of homelessness and poverty, who battles to get a job and be a real dad to his little boy.

　　小編說：一個窮途潦倒的單親爸爸，因事業(yè)失敗無家可歸，卻還得擔(dān)起撫養(yǎng)兒子的重?fù)?dān)。為了兒子的未來，他重新振作，終于皇天不負(fù)苦心人。

　　The Tree of Life (2015, dir Terrence Malick) 《生命之樹》(2015，導(dǎo)演：泰倫斯·馬利克)

　　Malick's latest movie is not yet out in the UK in cinemas or DVD, but why not take your dad on a Eurostar trip to Paris, where it is now on release? Brad Pitt plays O'Brien, the 1950s Texas dad whose disciplinarianviolence, and complex self-doubt, encourage his sons to think of fear and love as the same emotion. Maybe not a very feelgood Father's Day film.

小編說：通過泰倫斯·馬力克典型的視覺風(fēng)格，我們可以看到自然的殘忍以及靈魂的優(yōu)雅，不僅左右個體與家庭，同樣包括廣義的所有生命。

　　Hamlet (1948, dir Laurence Olivier) 《哈姆雷特》 (1948，導(dǎo)演：勞倫斯·奧利弗)

　　Olivier's movie version of Shakespeare's great tragedy turns, like any production, on the hero's agonised memory of his father's greatness. Freudians find in his antipathy to Claudius a rage-filled acknowledgement that his step-father has done something that all males subconsciously wish to do: kill their fathers and marry their mothers. And speaking of Freudian angst …

小編說：公認(rèn)的最經(jīng)典版本，榮獲威尼斯金獅獎和第21屆奧斯卡最佳影片、最佳男主角等5項(xiàng)大獎。

Back to the Future (1985, dir Robert Zemeckis) 《回到未來》 (1985，導(dǎo)演：羅伯特·澤米吉斯)

　　… Zemeckis's classic comedy is about as freaky as it gets. Marty McFly, played by Michael J Fox, travels back in time to the 1950s, where he comes face to face with his nerdy dad, played by Crispin Glover, and has to engineer this poor sap's successful wooing of his mum, who turns out to be super-hot and more than a little enamoured of him.

　　小編說：在布朗博士被恐怖分子殺害后，高中生馬丁則駕著時間機(jī)器從1985年回到了1955年，并遇到了自己的父親。馬丁能否改變未來?
