跟随吉米·多赫迪一起走进的我们日常熟悉的家禽家畜的隐秘生活吧。这个哥们很有折腾精神,又是设计实验,又找历史原因,不仅让我们真的了解这些我们以为熟悉的家禽家畜,而且还让我们明白我们的祖先为什么在这么多的动物之中选择它们进行驯养,以及它们对我们的重要性。 1.牛篇 体型粗壮,部分公牛头部长有一对角。牛能帮助人类进行农业生产。根据出土的牛颅骨化石和古代遗留的壁画等资料,可以证明普通牛起源于原牛(Bos primie-nius),在新石器时代开始驯化。 2.鸡篇 鸡是人类饲养最普遍的家禽。家鸡源出于野生的原鸡,其驯化历史至少约4000年,但直到1800年前后鸡肉和鸡蛋才成为大量生产的商品。鸡的种类有火鸡、乌鸡、野鸡等。 3.猪篇 家猪是野猪被人类驯化后所形成的亚种,獠牙较野猪短,是人类的家畜之一,一般来说,家猪是指人类蓄养多供食用的猪种。

在1930年代,当时世界被战争而分裂,人类处在激情与痛苦当中。导演理查德·隆克瑞恩巧妙地将故事中的狡诈、阴谋、残暴,与当代法西斯象征主义结合在一起。伊安·麦克莱恩演出理查三世,他欲夺取兄长的王位,谋杀、骗婚、歼灭亲族无所不用其极,这样强烈的欲望,驱使他永无止尽的毁掉周遭的人。 影片是根据莎士比亚的名剧《理查三世》改编而成的,但是影片将故事发生的时间背景由原著中1483-1485年转换到1930年。将莎士比亚的剧作移植到其它年代,是电影人常常做的事,但是却不一定每次都做的好。难能可贵的是,这版《理查三世》不但以睿哲的智能改编了这部剧作,并且在不破坏莎翁美丽的词句下,为此剧注入现代的活力。

An expert at sleight of hand and with a keen eye for identifying charlatans and tricksters, our story begins as Harry has fallen on hard times in recent years, professionally and ethically losing his way. He’s resorted to making his living as a fake medium and fraudulent ghost hunter, conducting séances for unsuspecting families who think their lives have been made a misery by ghostly mischief making. Harry’s duplicitous lifestyle has also had serious consequences when after leading a séance for a tragic soldier a young man commits suicide on the doorstep of Harry’s home. A couple of months later, Harry is offered the chance to investigate the haunting of a local MP’s home as the case threatens to ruin the politician’s reputation. With the prospects of leading his political party, Edward Curtis can ill-afford the scandal as his wife Grace begins to hallucinate and act bizarrely and very much out of character as she believes their family home to be haunted. There’s a possibility Grace may be committed to an asylum in scandalous circumstances if Harry doesn’t take on the investigation. Ghosts from Harry’s past influence his decision to take the case and he begins to think it might be time to take a new path. Together with the Curtis family maid, Sarah Grey, whose own mother has fallen prey to con artist mediums in the past, their detection and investigative skills complement one another and they make a formidable partnership. Smart, driven and open-minded, Sarah is a strong-minded woman who can handle herself when unravelling the mysteries behind the hauntings, which are seriously affecting Grace’s health and well-being. Harry also calls on the services of his old friend, Albert, during the investigation. An African pharmacist with a sideline in voodoo con-artistry, Albert has a keen interest in medical and scientific discoveries, which Harry exploits to the maximum. Journalist Vernon Wall also finds himself in Harry’s orbit. Cynical and hard-bitten, although clever at winning the trust of the people he’s interviewing, Vernon is keen to learn about Harry’s techniques and sensing a political scandal sets out to inveigle his way into his life by extracting information from Sarah.
