老派社会

And in 1981, in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," that approach was so old-fashioned it looked new. In the 27 years since, practically every action filmmaker has tried to tap into the movie's quasi-mystical kinetic power: the pace had to be blindingly fast; the stunts insanely elaborate, the villainy extra-villainous; the hero's attitude blithe, insouciant, almost sociopathically cool.

1981年《法柜奇兵》的处理方式，就做得老派而历久弥新。27年来，实际上每一位动作片导演都尝试充分利用这部电影有点神秘的活动能量：速度必须快到令人眼花撩乱；特技动作必须疯狂复杂；为非作歹耍坏到不行；英雄的态度乐天、逍遥、酷到几乎反社会的程度。

很多富有同情心的西方人视中国社会为当年的苏联：一个由老派人士执掌的压抑的政府，渐渐对富有良好教育的、思想开放且世故的一代新人失去了控制。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。
