little food. Facing starvation, the boys select Oliver (through a





lottery) to ask for more food at the next meal, which he





tentatively does. This results in Oliver being chastised, and the

decide to get rid of him. After nearly being sold as an apprentice





to a cruel chimney sweep, Oliver is sent to Mr. Sowerberry, a





coffin-maker, whose wife and seniorapprentice take an instant





dislike to the newcomer. After more poor treatment, Oliver snaps





and attacks Noah, the snotty older apprentice, for having insulted





his mother. Knowing his life with the Sowerberrys will only get





worse, Oliver escapes on foot...

English Patient 英国病人

backdrop for this novel is the Second World War in Northern Africa





and Italy. Hana, a young Canadian Army nurse, lives in the





abandoned Villa San Girolamo in Italy, which is filled with hidden,





undetonated bombs. In her care is the man nicknamed "the English





patient," of whom all she knows is that he was burned beyond





recognition in a plane crash before being taken to the hospital by





a Bedouin tribe. He also claimed to be English. The only possession





that the patient has is a copy of Herodotus' histories that





survived the fire. He has annotated these histories and is





constantly remembering his explorations in the desert in great





detail, but cannot state his own name. The patient is, in fact,





László de Almásy, a Hungarian desert explorer who was part of a





British cartography group. He chose, however, to erase his identity





and nationality...

8. Penelope





真爱之吻





The movie Penelope





follows a young woman who learns to be happy with who she is,





regardless of her looks or who approves of her. Penelope Wilhern is





a young woman from a wealthy family with all the qualities to make





an excellent match for any other well-bred man of her status.





However, what sets her apart is that she has the nose and ears of a





pig.





Generations ago, an





embittered witch placed a curse on the Wilhern family because their





son had impregnated her daughter, one of their servants. The son





sought to marry her, but his family talked him out of it and





married him off to another. The witch's daughter, overwrought,





threw herself off a cliff. The witch cursed the Wilherns so that





the next girl born into the clan would have the aspect of a pig.





For five generations, only sons were born into the family, until





Penelope (Christina Ricci) was born, stricken with the curse. It is





said that the curse can only be lifted if one of her own learns to





love her, which is interpreted by her parents to mean a man of





noble birth...

commissar Danilov (Joseph Fiennes). Nikita Khrushchev (Bob Hoskins)





arrives in Stalingrad to coordinate the city's defenses and demands





ideas to improve morale. Danilov, now a senior Lieutenant, suggests





that the people need figures to idolize, and publishes tales of





Vassili's exploits in the army's newspaper that paint him as a





national hero and propaganda icon. Vassili is transferred to the





sniper division, and he and Danilov become friends. They also both





become romantically interested in Tania (Rachel Weisz), a citizen





of Stalingrad who has become a Private in the local militia.





Danilov has her transferred to an intelligence unit away from the





battlefield...

(Julie Walters) and has yet to find a suitable husband. She wishes

Irishman. She turns down the affections of numerous men, including
