军旅剧创作新收获******
一部军旅剧如何做到叙事和视觉同样精彩，多视角多维度还原军旅生活，对主创是个不小的挑战
《勇敢的翅膀》是一部以航空兵部队为题材的电视剧。在以写实手法再现航空兵生活的典型环境时，作品对“军魂”进行开掘、诠释，紧紧围绕飞行员的成长，展现了当代青年军人淬火成钢的历程。
《勇敢的翅膀》在题材选择、人物设定、故事讲述、画面呈现等方面都令人耳目一新，可以说是军旅剧创作的新收获。
军事题材影视要着力表现英武和阳刚之美。这也是军旅剧创作的优势。《勇敢的翅膀》刻画了一组航空兵形象。在丰雷机组中，老机长丰雷、改型机长秦朗以及其他几位分司领航、通信、武控等战斗任务的战斗员，都热爱空军、热爱飞行，将军人的使命和担当看得很重。
丰雷和秦朗这一对“严师父”和“犟徒弟”，看似相逆而行，实则相向而行，这一矛盾主线的设定，是剧集的一个突出亮点。丰雷飞行技术过硬，荣获过两次“金飞镖”奖，心理素质强大，善于指挥、敢于管理。为了建设强大的航空兵队伍，他甘愿由副团长改任教员，将所有精力放在培养年轻一代飞行员身上。秦朗不是一夜之间由落后兵成长为英雄的。论对空军的热爱，论飞行知识和技术，秦朗各方面都是个“优等生”。但他有些自傲，优秀飞行员应有的心理素质不够。丰雷看在眼里，决心将秦朗从璞石雕琢成玉。
丰雷对秦朗爱之深、责之切。剧集以层层剥笋般的叙事，清晰呈现了丰雷帮助秦朗“过三道坎”。其一，在一次飞行训练中，心高气盛的秦朗其他飞行动作都做得很好，却犯下了起落架没有放实的低级错误，被取消改机型的培训，分流到“功勋团”——一个老机型团。失去了参加飞机改装的机会，秦朗一度消沉。此时，为他承担责任的副团长丰雷也到功勋团当了教员。丰雷带秦朗完成几次飞行，使秦朗过了不愿到“功勋团”的关。其二，秦朗在一次飞行突发事件中不能冷静处理，丰雷找航医询问怎样帮助秦朗克服心理障碍，以避免被停飞。其三，在秦朗救了空军老前辈，却被误判为撞人，被停飞时又是丰雷基于对秦朗的信任，和上级机关协同调查，为秦朗正了名。秦朗在师父严与爱的训练下成长。合作反恐的实战中，飞机被敌人导弹击中时，秦朗能冷静处理、安全迫降，丰雷机组立功。
作为一部青春热血的军旅剧，该剧融合呈现了励志、成长、偶像等元素。秦朗一代青年飞行员的成长历程，被正确诠释为由个人技术、个人素质向集体英雄主义的升华。丰雷在训练中，不仅向机组年轻飞行员传授技术和经验，更教育他们协同配合，追求一种集体才能形成的战斗力。剧中最后一次飞行，秦朗向在身旁的师父求问数据，丰雷答：“现在你是机长，你是机组的灵魂，你下命令。”丰雷经常对机组飞行员说的一句话堪称金句：“记住，一旦做了飞行员，你就有了两条命，一条是自己的生命，一条就是使命。国家的使命，人民的使命。”剧集主题在这里得到了升华。
《勇敢的翅膀》塑造热血军人形象时十分注重全视角、立体化叙写。他们每一次飞行都牵动着亲人的心。丰雷结婚十二年，在机场的时间多于陪伴妻子儿子；吴汉和妻子结婚后一直没有时间举办婚礼，新婚妻子王晓琳来队探望，小两口还没来得及说句体贴话，机场就来电话让吴汉回去开会；耿建设和追求他的女同学彭馨正要去散步，一看回营的时间已到，只好匆匆告别。机场上一旦响起警笛声，家属们最敏感、最揪心。剧中饱满的师徒情、战友情、亲人情，打动了观众。
剧集将航空兵部队敢于空中拼刺刀的精神融入与众不同的军营生活。画面上，或旭日初升，或晚霞满天，或夜色深沉，战机隆隆掠过，十分壮观。机舱内的实景拍得一丝不苟，战斗员的口令、操作准确到位。每次飞行后的讲评、复盘，提供的军事术语达到了教科书般准确。实景拍摄的飞行员一日活动，充分展示出军令条令之严，军容军姿之美。一部军旅剧如何做到叙事和视觉同样精彩，多视角多维度还原军旅生活，对主创是个不小的挑战。《勇敢的翅膀》跨越了这道门槛。

中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
