Book ID/图书代码： 11701215B80901
English Summary/英文概要： Hadley Freeman brings us her personalised guide to American movies from the 1980s – why they are brilliant, what they meant to her, and how they influenced movie-making forever.
For Hadley Freeman, American moves of the 1980s have simply got it all. Comedy in Three Men and a Baby, Hannah and Her Sisters, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and Trading Places; all a teenager needs to know – in Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Say Anything, The Breakfast Club and Mystic Pizza; the ultimate in action – Top Gun, Die Hard, Young Sherlock Holmes, Beverly Hills Cop and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; love and sex – in 9 ½ Weeks, Splash, About Last Night, The Big Chill, Bull Durham; and family fun – in The Little Mermaid, ET, Big, Parenthood and Lean On Me.
Born in the late 1970s, Hadley grew up on a well-rounded diet of these movies, her entire view of the world, adult relations and expectations of what her life might hold was forged by these cult classics.
In this personalised guide, she puts her obsessive movie geekery to good use, detailing the decades key players, genres and tropes, and how exactly the friendship between Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi influenced the evolution of comedy. She looks back to a cinematic world in which bankers are invariably evil, despite this being the decade of Wall Street, where children are always wiser than adults, and science is embraced with an intense enthusiasm, and the future viewed with excitement. She considers how the changes between movies then and movies today say so much about pop culture’s and society’s changing expectations of women, young people and art, and explains why Pretty in Pink should be put on school syllabuses immediately.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 哈德利•弗里曼为我们带来了对上世纪80年代以来的美国电影的个性化指导——为什么他们都是出色的，他们对她意味着什么，以及它们是如何永久的影响了电影的制作。
对于哈德利•弗里曼来说，80年代的美国电影很容易概括。喜剧片《三个男人和一个婴儿》，《汉娜和她的姐妹们》，《捉鬼敢死队》，《回到未来》和《交易场所》；青春片——《红粉佳人》，《春天不是读书天》，《情到深处》，《早餐俱乐部》和《神秘的比萨饼》；动作片——《壮志凌云》，《虎胆龙威》，《年轻的福尔摩斯》，《贝弗利山警探》，《夺宝奇兵2：魔域奇兵》爱情片——《爱你九周半》，《美人鱼》，《风流昨夜》，《山水又相逢》，《百万金臂》；家庭娱乐片——《大海的女儿》，《外星人》，《飞越未来》，《为人父母》和《铁腕校长》。
哈德利出世在上世纪70年代末，成长在这些电影非常全面的环境下，她的整个世界观，成人的关系和对生活的期望都由这些经典电影所影响。
在这本个性化的指导中，她把对电影的迷恋利用的很好，详细介绍了几十年来的关键演员，风格和比喻，丹•艾克罗伊德和约翰•贝鲁西之间的友谊如何影响了喜剧的演变。她回顾了电影世界，其中银行家总是邪恶的，尽管这支撑了华尔街，孩子总是比成人更睿智，对科学总是满怀热情，以及未来总是兴奋的。她认为当时的电影和今天的电影之间的改变很多是关于流行文化和社会对女性的期望，以及年轻人和艺术的，并解释了为什么《红粉佳人》应马上加入学校教学大纲。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：她的这本书远远超越了傻傻的怀旧，更绘制了一些惊人的文化转变…尽管在朋友中很热情健谈，可弗里曼在需要的地方沉默…这本书不仅仅是对短暂青春的叹息。——星期日对《太棒了》的称赞
“弗里曼既严厉又认真的令人敬畏的方式在英国没有作家能做到…其写作新鲜、原始。让你欲罢不能。但是将它作为关于女性在社会的地位的一系列诙谐的论战会有更好的效果。”——观察者
“阅读这本回忆录加谈话就像是和一群朋友坐在酒吧，将世界设置的恰到好处，然后突然意识到另一群人在谈论同一个问题——脱毛，流产，小短裤横行，女性性欲的状态——只是他们更沙哑，冷漠，粗鲁和失去理智。“——星期日泰晤士报
“弗里曼用真正的激情和冰冷的愤怒写就…她对约会，性别和当你所有的朋友突然消失，空虚寂寞时如何应付描写地很温暖和亲切…你知道有一个人无畏，有趣，在你的心里令人敬畏。”——发型师杂志，图书馆战争
”她对自己的生气很后悔，也承认自己的串通很诙谐。她大力推荐书籍，电影，女性角色模型，性态度，以及女人在救赎道路上行进的营养建议。”——时代
’She has written a book that transcends giggly nostalgia to map some confounding cultural shifts ... Despite her chatty among-friends enthusiasm, Freeman is withering where needed ... This book is more than an indulgent sigh over fleeting youth’ Sunday Times Praise for ’Be Awesome’: ’Freeman manages to be both scathing and serious about being awesome in a way no British writer could ... The writing is fresh, original. It is tempting to gorge on this collection at breakneck speed. But it works better as a series of witty polemics on women’s place in society’ Observer ’Reading this memoir-cum-conversation is like sitting in a pub with a group of girlfriends, setting the world to rights and suddenly becoming aware of another group talking about the same issues - hair removal, abortion, the tyranny of tiny knickers, the state of female sexuality - only they are more raucous, cooler, ruder and more intellectually engaged’ Sunday Times ’Freeman writes with real passion and cold fury ... and she writes warmly and kindly about dating, sex and how to cope when all your friends suddenly disappear into the baby-making void ... it’s good to know you have someone that fearless, funny and - yes - awesome in your corner’ Stylist Magazine, Book Wars ’Though angry she is rueful, though witty she admits her complicity. Fiercely she recommends books, films, female role models, sexual attitudes and nutritional advice to women marching along the high road towards redemption’ The Times
