剧情简介

：

伍迪·艾伦最新的一部电影Cassandra’s Dream中有个英国资本家叫霍华德，他诱惑两个急需要钱的侄儿谋杀了自己生意场上的敌人。霍华德做这类事情并没有引起我多大的兴趣---小时候课本上教育我们，“资本家的本性就是惟利是图和损人利己”。他关于中国的几句台词更有意思。霍华德跟亲朋好友谈到最近去中国的观感，他说，中国现在非常有活力，激动人心。中国人是资本家，比我们要象资本家得多。 　　伍迪·艾伦写的剧本多少泄漏出他本人对中国的某种印象。看完了美国发现频道播出的一部关于中国的大型纪录片The People’s Republic of Capitalism---《资本主义人民共和国》以后，我对伍迪·艾伦的喜爱被迫加深，他的印象某种程度上反应了中国社会的实际状况。 　　这部片子长达四个小时，从上周三到周六，发现频道安排在每天晚上10点-11点播出。不仅中国人想趁奥运热打点铁，美国著名电视记者Ted Koppel也在这样做。由他主持采访的这部大型作品以解剖麻雀的方式，力图帮助美国观众了解经济、社会正在飞速发展的中国。 　　发现频道在中国推广经营多年，属于美国媒体机构里比较了解中国国情的那一类，从他们选择的样本就能看出来。重庆是全片解剖的对象。还有眼光更独到的地方，他们竟然没有采访任何一位政府官员。我个人的经验一直认为，政府官员在镜头前能说的话基本上对讲故事没什么帮助。那么，谁都出现在纪录片中呢？大多数都是资本家和他们的雇员。 　　中外资本家都有。重庆土生土长的资本家、力帆汽车的老板尹明善生机勃勃，一举一动间都透着信心和权威，绝对看不出来已经70高龄。 Ted Koppel在解说词中介绍，尹明善当年靠仿制本田摩托起家，现在开始生产汽车了。他问老尹，你会不会担心，美国厂商因为不愿知识产权流失，从而拒绝将先进技术转让给中国？尹明善的回答极为干脆，美国不卖，我们可以到德国、日本去买，最终吃亏的是美国自己。 　　美国常有人责备中国，说中国所得乃美国所失，典型的例子是美国制造业萎缩，就业机会大量转移到中国。好在美国的资本家并不一定这样看，比如长安福特汽车的老板。他说福特是一家全球性的大公司，应该根据市场和资源的情况自主决策。如今美国汽车业的形势不容乐观，投资自然要转向中国。早些年汽车业称得上美国的脊梁，所以曾经有这么一句口号，但凡对通用汽车公司有利的事情，也对美国有利。Koppel问这位华裔老板，这句口号难道已经失效？他得到了肯定的回答。资本家不给狭隘的爱国主义提供滋生土壤。 　　纪录片中展现了中国新富的生活，大家其实只跟着镜头窥探了一阵，但足以让我们这些在美国的打工仔们瞠目结舌。片子中所有关于中国现状的抱怨，都不会出自资本家之口，这些人几乎众口一词，由衷地感到满意。目前的中国？一切都好。民O主？听起来不错，但实行起来有很多问题，生意人最怕的就是不稳定，现在的状况最好。片中有一个年轻的时尚摄影师阿伦，他抱怨说中国的教育有问题，导致整个社会没文化，人们尤其缺乏想象力。艺术家的灾难也能转换为资本家的福音。一位房地产发展商认为，缺少想象力让人们变得守规矩，优质劳动力原本就该如此。 　　资本推动着经济发展，大家在享受丰硕成果的同时，达成了一个惊人的共识：中国人的生活正在一天天好起来，为什么要做那些导致不稳定的事情？如今的中国，只要与政治无涉，什么都可以干。的确如此，放眼世界，有几个国家可以找到如此自由？跟着Koppel的摄制组，观众都能看到，有钱人可以到KTV包房享受17、8岁小女孩的服务。老板叮嘱她们，服务的最高宗旨是让客人高兴。钱不多？重庆有廉价红灯区。甚至背离无神论也没关系，基督教在中国已经得到相当快的发展。 　　1949年以前，只有上海被称作冒险家的乐园；今天的中国，到处都是资本家的天堂。看完纪录片以后，能得到这么个印象的人，应该不止我一个。最后还得表扬纪录片的片头设计：众多画层构成一个相当复杂而生动的三维空间，不同币值人民币的图案构成这个空间的核心，毛主席头像、国徽、人民大会堂、三潭印月、漓江山水和建筑工地、重庆夜景交织在一块，“中国”、“现金”、“变动”等字样翻滚，片名作为高潮出现---。　　 引用 豆瓣“身不在场”网友评论： 　　这应该是这几年看过的最有趣的关于中国的纪录片。“最有趣”，既不是“最宏大”，也不是“最全面”，而是“最有风格”。全篇都伴随着Ted Koppel的旁白讲解，你说不定会觉得烦闷。但是4个小时的正片外加半小时的访谈，所包含的信息量相当巨大。 　　众所周知，在中国进行采访，仍然是一门“学问”。横向比较同时期的作品：加拿大的China Rises显得过分表面，流于窥视中国的各种“奇观”，这当然规避了很多麻烦；而另外一部BBC的CHINA显然希望对更为敏感的雷区话题进行探讨，但是因为话题本身让采证不可能全面，而最终让人一头雾水，不情愿的在门外兜圈。Ted Koppel的特别之处在于他的“专业视野”相对狡猾。他没有开宗明义的要做一部旨在纪录中国“奇观”的电影，而是拿捏了中美经济关系这个点展开讨论。但正如片中说：“中国的法律上都写着‘经济发展放在第一位’”，因此谈经济显然敏锐地抓住了中国方方面面的交集。而由此引申开、所展示在面前的，是一个宏大而复杂的视野：有着各式各样的联系和交汇，真的将中国置于地球——而不是一个封闭世界——来观察。因此尽管Koppel似乎只谈经济，但是他深入地触及了相当多的穴位，留下了很多回味余地。 　　Koppel本人对于很多人物的采访很有意思。如上所说，对话必须规避“麻烦”，但又要尖锐而不失风度。老牌制作人果然不同反响！他的问题在一个礼貌的“修饰”下闪烁着极其锐利的光。以至于很多受访者只有靠转移话题重心来回避提问。这并不是胡乱的结论式制作，而是一种思考。尽管，你可以把他看做是Koppel自己的思考。 Part 1: Joined at the Hip

The American and Chinese economies are irreversibly intertwined. The common complaint that the Chinese are taking jobs away from American workers is in many cases true. China's cheap and abundant labor attracts manufacturing from all over the world. Still, American economists estimate that the U.S. is as much as $70 billion richer each year because of its relationship with China —something must be going right. Wal-Mart, America's largest retailer, is able to maintain low prices in part because of cheap Chinese labor. And when Apple sells a $299 iPod (designed in California and assembled in China), the American computer company makes an $80 profit, while the Chinese assembly plant makes just $4. We'll trace the interconnected web of U.S./China trade, from Mexican migrant workers in North Carolina to a Chongqing teenager working on a boombox assembly line; quality control inspectors at Ethan Allen to a Chinese homemaker shopping at Wal-Mart in Chongqing; and laid-off workers from Briggs & Stratton's Rolla, Missouri plant to the American who runs the Briggs & Stratton plant in Chongqing. Part 2: MAOism to MEism

Chongqing is a city of 13.5 million people — it could be the most populous city that most Americans have never heard of. The largest migration in human history is underway as millions of peasants are on the move from China’s countryside to its booming industrialized cities. The central government has plans to increase Chongqing’s population to 20 million. This population redistribution, combined with the emergence of capitalism, is having a dramatic effect on Chinese culture. In this episode, we'll profile a cast of characters in and around Chongqing to examine the central issues of traditional values, religion, sexuality and political freedom. Part 3: The Fast Lane China's streets have gone from being jammed with bicycles to being jammed with cars. The nation is adding 25,000 new vehicles to its roads every day — that's more than 9 million a year — and the government is building tens of thousands of miles of new highways. As millions of new drivers hit the road, this newfound freedom is bringing more accidents, more traffic and more pollution. China will soon become the world's largest producer of cars as well as the biggest market for new cars. Foreign automakers like GM and Ford are already enjoying huge success in China — today, more Buicks are sold in China than in the U.S. Meanwhile, Chinese automakers are planning an assault on the U.S. market with low-cost cars and they hope to be in American showrooms as early as next year. Part 4: It's the Economy, Stupid

China has lifted 300 million people out of poverty in less than a generation. It's a remarkable feat, but one that has had profound and often harmful consequences. In this episode, we'll look at the downsides of a booming economy. Pollution is one of the biggest problems. China powers its economy primarily with coal, a dirty fuel that blackens its skies and cities. Ted Koppel descends 1,000 feet into a coal mine to show the work and danger involved in relying on coal to fuel the country's industries. With increased investment in infrastructure and new business, corruption is an escalating problem that costs China billions of dollars a year. Koppel explains what the government is doing to stamp it out. Finally, we'll examine the thorny issue of human rights and how China's economy continues to thrive despite the suppression of free speech and the iron fist of the Communist party. Capitalism, after all, is merely an economic system. While China has wholeheartedly embraced a capitalist economy, it still governs its people with communism's authoritarian rule. ABOUT THE SERIES Koppel on Discovery is produced by Discovery Channel's managing editor, Ted Koppel and Tom Bettag, executive producer. They are joined by a team of some of the best researchers and producers in the industry. Together they are producing a slate of long-form programming exclusively for Discovery Channel that touches on some of the most important events, people and places changing lives today. From field reporting to script writing, every aspect of the series is shaped by Koppel's 42 years of experience and unparalleled journalistic integrity. In Ted's Words My analogy [of 24/7 news] is it's rather like standing 2 feet away from a railroad track and watching the trains go by. And, boy, you're close and it's exciting and there's a lot of energy and you really feel as though you're on top of it, but you can't for the life of you see what's going on. And if you really want to know what's going on, you've got to step back 10 feet, 20 feet, 50 feet, sometimes half a mile, so that you can see the locomotive and the caboose and everything that is in between. The kind of programming we're going to be doing here at Discovery is stepping back, allowing a little bit of time to pass, so that people get a perspective on the importance of some events and the relative unimportance of other events, which seemed important only because they just occurred. 引用 x264 Version * Video Codec: x264 * Video Bitrate: 3213 Kbps * Video Resolution: 1280x720 (720p) * Video Aspect Ratio: 1.778 / 16:9 * Video Framerate: 29.97 * Video AR error: -0.2% * Avg QP: I = ~23, P = ~25, B = ~25 * Audio: English (US) * Audio Codec: Nero AAC * Audio Bitrate: 192 Kbps @ 48KHz ABR * Audio Channels: 6 * Subtitles (embedded): English (US) * Runtime per Part: 43 minutes, ~3 hours total * Number of Parts: 4 * Part Size: 1064 Mb + extra = full DVDR total * Encoded by: PolarBear AVI/XviD Version * Video Codec: XviD * Video Bitrate: 1865 Kbps * Video Resolution: 704x400 * Video Aspect Ratio: 1.76 / ~16:9 * Video Framerate: 29.97 * Video AR error: -0.1% * Quality Factor: 0.22 b/pf * Audio: English (US) * Audio Codec: Dolby AC3 * Audio Bitrate: 384 kb/s @ 48KHz CBR * Audio Channels: 6 * Subtitles (separate): English (US) * Runtime per Part: 43 minutes, ~3 hours total * Number of Parts: 4 * Part Size: 700 Mb x 4, extra 223 Mb * Encoded by: PolarBear 本帖来源：[url=http://docuwiki.net/index.php?title=The_People's_Republic_of_Capitalism]维基纪录片 MV Group[/url] 买鞋子哪个网站好？首选中国最大的正品鞋网商城(http://shoes.weixiaodian.com/)、 网上正品鞋城(http://u.weixiaodian.com/shoe/)。微店网页版请从http://121.weixiaodian.com登录：手把手教你如何免费申请开通微店、怎样经营微店及如何用微店赚钱。看笑话，上爱哈啦(http://www.aihala.com/)。
