视频简介
Katherine of Alexandria, brought up as a nomad and living in the desert, was aged just 11 when Emperor Maxentius saw her whilst out on patrol. Consumed by her beauty, impudence and uncanny talent for languages, he abducted the child, killing her family. The slaughter was witnessed by her young friend, Constantine, who would later become Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. He never lost hope of finding Katherine. As a young woman, Katherine refused to submit to Maxentius' offers of marriage and she continually denounced his brutal enforcement of pagan religion upon the masses. Still obsessed with her beauty, Maxentius brought Katherine before 50 of Rome's finest scholars in an open court in Alexandria, where she eloquently demolished their arguments. When Constantine learned of Katherine's whereabouts and imprisonment at the hands of Maxentius, he led his army from York in a desperate bid to save her.。改编自萨尔曼·拉什迪的名作《午夜之子》，它用男主角萨利姆·希奈的一生道尽印巴复杂历史时期的人事变迁，以魔幻现实主义手法构造出一个出人意料的奇思怪想：在印度同一时刻降生的1001个孩子，能够在一个人的心灵中每夜聚会，这个会议于是成了现代印度的一面镜子。这个基本构想足以造就一部杰作，因为它不仅给了人一个新奇的意象，而且赋予《午夜之子》以史诗般广阔的画面，使观众得以从多个视角认识印度社会。电影在很大程度上遵从了原著，以自由飞腾的想象力，通过一个人的命运来审视一个民族的历史，使作品具有丰富的社会内容和深刻的思想内容。萨尔曼·拉什迪本人则担任了本片的旁白。。
