Question

【題目】Part drama, part dark comedy, new film To the Bone talks about a young woman’s struggle with anorexia(厭食癥). Though the film already got generally positive reviews at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, it has caused a hot Twitter debate around whether it could be harmful for those with eating disorders.

Critics of the film have focused on the leading role Ellen: a young, thin, white woman with anorexia. They think there’re some plots that have made eating disorders look like trends instead of life-threatening illnesses. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anorexia has the highest mortality rate (死亡率) of any mental illness. Thirty million Americans struggle with eating disorders at some point in their lives.

Director Marti Noxon based the film on her own battle with anorexia. She was aware of the film’s potential to trigger harmful effects and then tried to be really careful in the way she showed how Ellen looked. “You want to help other people understand something that they’ve never experienced, but you also want people who have experienced it to feel understood and seen and to give people hope,” she added. “We were balancing a lot. I want to avoid the idea that the perfectionist quality of anorexics is their most obvious character.”

The film caught the attention of Liana Rosenman, who founded Project Heal, an organization that helps eating disorder sufferers afford treatment. “I thought it was very powerful,” Rosenman said. “There is a sense of humor and wittiness in it as well as just understanding what it’s like to have an eating disorder.” Project Heal recently played To the Bone in New York and Los Angeles, but it has faced sharp criticism from members of their community on social media.

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文，主要討論了圣丹斯電影節(jié)上播放的電影To the Bone，以及人們對(duì)這部電影的不同評(píng)價(jià)，有人支持也有人反對(duì)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Though the film already got generally positive reviews at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, it has caused a hot Twitter debate around whether it could be harmful for those with eating disorders.”可知盡管這部電影在圣丹斯電影節(jié)里得到了積極的評(píng)價(jià)，但是在Twitter上也有很多批評(píng)。說明這部影片的評(píng)論有好有壞。故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】判斷推理題。根據(jù)第三段后兩句“You want to help other people understand something that they’ve never experienced, but you also want people who have experienced it to feel understood and seen and to give people hope,” she added. “We were balancing a lot. I want to avoid the idea that the perfectionist quality of anorexics is their most obvious character.”可知導(dǎo)演Marti Noxon努力讓各方面的人從這部電影里受益，讓沒有體驗(yàn)過厭食癥的人理解這一疾病，讓患過厭食癥的人感覺自己被理解。故B項(xiàng)正確。

【3】判斷推理題。根據(jù)最后一段第二三句“I thought it was very powerful,” Rosenman said. “There is a sense of humor and wittiness in it as well as just understanding what it’s like to have an eating disorder.”可知Rosenman認(rèn)為這部電影很幽默也很有效，讓人們理解了厭食癥的有關(guān)情況。說明他是支持這部電影的。故A項(xiàng)正確。

【4】判斷推理題。本文是一篇議論文，主要討論了圣丹斯電影節(jié)上播放的電影To the Bone，以及人們對(duì)這部電影的不同評(píng)價(jià)，有人支持也有人反對(duì)。文章內(nèi)容屬于影評(píng)，所以C項(xiàng)正確。
