Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。这是一个科学家的故事，一个保护青藏高原和地球环境的故事。本片以“真实电影”的手法，为观众带来沉浸式青藏科考第一现场的体验，同时辅以宏大的地理背景和全球环境背景，从“亚洲水塔”、“空中秘境”、“生命之极”、“人类边界”和“时间之尺”五个维度，展现这一伟大的科考活动。。此为以动荡的上海为背景拍摄的民初动作片，描述四名曾经一齐被俘虏的军人在解甲归田后各散东西，其中梁家辉做了上海的巡捕，他找来昔日战友李子雄、郑浩南一齐加入天罗地网小组，合力对付大毒贩，而此人正是昔日俘虏他们的军官郑少秋。导演黄志强采取鲜艳的映象设计和激烈火爆的动作场面来包装这部怀旧电影，使它的外观显得相当有吸引力，可惜故事未能摆脱同类电影的老套，以致形过于质。。
