奥斯卡影帝尼古拉斯.凯奇出演电影Lord of War《战争之王》，尽显经典男人的深度与沉稳、彪悍及伟岸
军火商尤瑞(尼古拉斯.凯奇所饰)以一种平静、超脱的口吻向大家讲述了一段段惊心动魂、摧人肺腑的故事。作为一个商人，尤瑞将销售军火比作是卖真空 吸尘器，然而，随着剧情的展开和故事的深入，一幅幅惨烈画面和一群群麻木不仁的匪徒，向我们揭露了战争的原罪和其背后一双无形的手。
政权对于军火的依耐与平民对于战争的无奈，时时刻刻充斥着观众的脑海。尤瑞选择的是一个徘徊在黑白之间的灰色地带，而实际上他根本逃避不了黑色的渲染，一面是金钱与理想，一面是道义和良知，尤瑞在为战争奔走的同时，他的内心也在不停地争斗……
尼古拉斯.凯奇果真是名副其实的奥斯卡影帝，他将一个介于黑白之间的军火商人演绎得让宅男的整个身心都徘徊在一片灰色地带。最后不厌其烦地提醒自己：“Never go to war, especially with yourself.”
《战争之王》这部影片情节紧凑，演绎精彩；思想有深度，语言有内涵…是一部难得一见的经典创作。现上传到博客上与大家共同欣赏，请点击播放器按钮在线观看：

翻译：我虽有点儿语言天才…但很快发现，谈美元、第纳尔、德拉克马、卢比、卢布、英镑…这些才是最有说服力的。(这段用绿色标明的文字让我联想到中国的一句俗话：“有钱好办事”，即“Money talks”。)

A peice of the action：『defination』：means that someone wants to be involved in some popular or beneficial social activity. (为获得利益参与某事）
