Moviegoers may think history is repeating itself this weekend. The summer’s most anticipated film, Pearl Harbor, which has opened recently, painstakingly recreates the Japanese attack that drew the United States into World War Ⅱ. But that isn’t the film’s only reminder of the past.
Harbor invites comparison to Titanic, the biggest hit of all time. Like Titanic, Harbor heaps romance and action around a major historical event. Like Titanic Harbor attempts to create popular global entertainment from a deadly real life. Like Titanic, Harbor costs a pretty penny and hopes to get in even more at the box office.
Both Titanic and Pearl Harbor unseal their tales of love and tragedy over more than three hours. Both stories center on young passion, triangles of tension with one woman and two men: In Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio and Billy Zane compete for the love of the same woman, a high society type played by a British actress named Kate (Winslet). In Harbor, two pilots (Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett) fall for the same woman, a nurse played by a British actress named Kate (Beckinsale).
The scenes of peril also have similarities. Harbor has a shot in which soldiers cling for dear life as the battleship USS Oklahoma sinks. The moment is recalled of the Titanic’s climactic sinking scene in which DiCaprio and Winslet hang from the ocean liner as half of the ship vertically plunges into the water. In Harbor, one of its stars floats atop a piece of debris in the middle of the night, much like Winslet’s character does in Titanic. And the jaw-dropping action of Titanic is matched by Harbor’s 40 minute recreation of Dec. 7, 1941 attack on the United States’ Pacific Fleet.
Both films spent heavily on special effects. Harbor director, Michael Bay, for example, says he kept salaries down so more could be spent on the visuals. Both movies even shot their ship sinking scenes at the same location: Fox Studios Baja in Mexico.
Harbor’s makers have even taken a Titanic like approach to the sound track. The film includes one song. There you will be, performed by country music superstar Faith Hill. Titanic, which is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time, also had only one pop song: Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. "If Harbor becomes a major moneymaker, filmmakers may comb history books searching for even more historical romance action material," says a critic. [br] What are the two things that the author of this article tries to compare?
选项
A、The attack on Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Titanic.
B、Historical fiction movies and successful box office hits.
C、The movie Titanic and the on show movie Pearl Harbor.
D、Sinking boats and famous actors.
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。文章中多处表达证明本题的正确是C。如:第二段中:《珍珠港》让人想起了热门大片《泰坦尼克》(Like Titanic…Like Titanic…Like Titanic);第三段主题句:跟《泰坦尼克》一样,《珍珠港》投资甚巨并期望获得更大的票房回报。两部影片都在三个多小时内展开了爱情和悲剧的画卷;两个故事的中心同样是青年人的激情;第四段主题句:危险场面也有相似之处。第四段末句:与《泰坦尼克》中那令人措愕的动作情节相配的是……;以及第六段的主题句:甚至《珍珠港》的制作人员使用配乐的方法也是泰坦尼克
