　　让你有社区归属感的电影

　　Mid-August Lunch (2008) is a gently charming comedy about a hangdog 60-something who has to tend to his mother and three other elderly women in his small flat when everyone else has left Rome for the Ferragosto holiday. As light and slight as the film is, at just 75 minutes long, it’s a vital reminder of how important it is to care for the older generation – and how important it is to nip down the street for a glass of wine with a friend. In short, it’s about belonging to a neighbourhood. For further evidence that it’s invaluable to be part of a local community, see It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), Amélie(2001), The Full Monty (1997) and the Jane Austen adaptation of your choice. And, of course, you can savour the sight of Paddington’s neighbours standing up for him against Mr Curry in Paddington 2 (2017).

　　2008年电影《八月中旬的午餐》是一部温和迷人的喜剧片，讲述了一个60多岁的小人物在其他人都离开罗马去过八月节时，只能留在自己的小公寓里照顾他的母亲和另外三位老年女性。这部云淡风轻的小电影只有75分钟，却提醒了人们照顾老人是多么重要，还有出去和朋友喝一杯是多么重要。简而言之，这部电影的主题和社区归属感有关。如果你还想进一步了解融入社区的重要性，你可以看看1946年电影《生活多美好》、2001年电影《天使爱美丽》、1997年电影《光猪六壮士》，还有简·奥斯汀小说改编成的电影(具体哪一部随你挑)。当然，你也可以看看2017年电影《帕丁顿熊2》中帕丁顿的邻居们为了小熊挺身而出对抗库里先生的场面。
