9.6 (5 ratings) director: Julian Carey actor: 凯莉·霍威
other title: 密码破译者:布莱切利庄园的幕后英雄
Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest intellectual feats of World War II, a feat that gave birth to the digital age. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised.

Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires
8.0 (6 ratings) director: Paul Sen actor: Robert X. Cringely / 比尔·盖茨
other title: 书呆子的胜利:意外帝国的崛起 / Les cinglés de l'informatique
Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires zooms backwards on the information superhighway to show in vivid detail how youthful amateurs, hippies and self-proclaimed "nerds" accidentally changed the world. The three-hour program chronicles the birth and growth of Silicon Valley's personal computer industry.
Hosted by Bob Cringely, a longtime industry observer, the story unfolds through Bay Area garages, industrial parks and convenience stores to examine the quirky, relentless and profitable adventures of the unlikely 20th-century pioneers who created the miracle products that revolutionized the world.
Triumph of the Nerds features interviews with some of the industry's most recognizable characters, including Microsoft's Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and Apple founder Steve Jobs. For the first time, television tackles the history of this new industry with attention to the culture from which it sprang as well as the culture that it created.
Cringely's book, Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and Still Can't Get a Date, was a national best-seller. Having written whimsical commentary for an industry trade publication, Cringely brings tart and insightful observations to the program.
Divided into three discrete one-hour units, TRIUMPH OF THE NERDS is enhanced by comic book graphics, extensive research and Cringely's self-deprecating humor. Exploring the rise of Apple, Microsoft and other companies, the program examines the intra-industry competition and the displacement of corporate giants like IBM. Designed for viewing by youngsters who can't imagine a world without laptops, their struggling parents, the experts, the wannabes, the confused and the unenlightened, TRIUMPH OF THE NERDS puts cyberspace in a social and historical context.

Wham! in China: Foreign Skies
7.0 (6 ratings) director: 林赛·安德森 actor: 乔治·迈克尔 / Andrew Ridgeley
other title: 威猛在中国——天外有天
这是一部难得一见的珍贵纪录片。1985年,第一个西方现代摇滚乐队到中国是个什么场景?中国人第一次到听摇滚演唱会是个什么状态?那时的中国市井人相是什么样子?23年过去了,重新看到一定会让你吃惊不小。
打开国门没有多久的中国人开始用惊讶的目光窥探外面的天地。1985年,英国威猛乐队(Wham! )1985年在北京工体和广州越秀山举行了两场演唱会,此片全程记录了威猛乐队抵华后的官方和民间的交流过程。中外双方似乎都对对方都一无所知,但求知、好奇和热情驱动着他们共同演绎这场奇异的旅程。除却现场演出部分,此片为难得一见的对20世纪80年代初中国影像文献,值得一看。
这被认为改变了大陆流行音乐史;并被认为是西方流行音乐首次获许在1949年后的中国大陆举行演出,虽然在1981年, 法国电子音乐家雅尔(Jean Michel Jarre)亦曾来华演出。
对于身处21世纪的观者,此片更重要的是展现了20世纪80年代中国北京广州两地的市井图像,人们从对政治和国家大生产建设的亢奋转为对物质和文化新潮的追求。

是八十年代英国有名的流行音乐组合, 乐队成立于1981年, 队员有乔治.米高 和 Andrew Ridgely。他们因与美国的一队乐队同名而在美国被称作英国威猛乐队!。
