《辛普森一家》是美国福克斯广播公司的一部动画情景喜剧，由马特·格勒宁创作。该剧通过展现霍默、玛琦、巴特、莉萨和玛吉一家五口的生活，讽刺性地勾勒出了居住在美国心脏地带人们的生活方式。空间设定于虚构小镇春田镇的《辛普森一家》，从许多角度对美国的文化与社会、人的条件和电视本身进行了幽默的嘲讽。为了给制片人詹姆斯·L·布鲁克斯制作一出动画短剧，马特·格勒宁构思出了辛普森一家人的形象。格勒宁用自己家族成员的名字逐一地给他们命名，而自己的名字则用“巴特”替代。1987年4月19日，短剧成为了《特蕾西·厄尔曼秀》的一部分。在播映三季后，《辛普森一家》得以转正进入半小时的黄金时段，并成为了福克斯在早期达成的成功之一。自1989年12月17日的首次播出开始，《辛普森一家》已播出了20季，共441集。2007年5月20日播出的第18季末集，是这部动画的第400集；同时，2007年亦是该剧播出的20周年纪念。于2007年7月26日和7月27日在全球上映的《辛普森一家大电影》，至今已获得约5.253亿美元的票房收入。第20季已于2008年9月28日开始播出。从作为一部电视剧制播以来，《辛普森一家》赢取了大量的奖项；其中包括24次艾美奖、26次安妮奖和1次皮博迪奖。1999年12月31日期的《时代》杂志将其评为20世纪最优秀的电视剧作；2000年1月14日，《辛普森一家》的星星被刻在了好莱坞星光大道上。作为美国历史上最长寿的情景喜剧及动画节目，《辛普森一家》对流行文化产生了极大的影响：譬如霍默·辛普森懊恼时的咕哝声“D’oh!”便被英语词典所收录；同时此剧亦对许多面向成人的动画情景喜剧产生了影响。辛普森一家，是居住在美国“心脏地带”式小镇春田镇的一个典型家庭。[46]家中的父亲霍默担任着春田镇核电站的安全检查员——这个职位与他粗心、弄臣式的个性显得很不相称。他的妻子玛琦·辛普森，是一位典型的美国式主妇和母亲。他们有着三个孩子：十岁的大儿子巴特是一个麻烦制造者；八岁早熟的女儿莉萨是一位积极行动主义者；小女儿玛吉是一个几乎不会说话，只能用吸橡皮奶嘴进行交流的婴儿。这家人养有一条名叫圣诞老人小助手的狗，以及一只名叫雪球二世的猫。两只宠物都曾在几集动画中充当中心角色。尽管度过了许多次节日或生日这样的年度重要事件，辛普森一家人都没有因为真实岁月的流逝而逐渐老去，其面貌与他们在1980年代末露面时并无二样。《辛普森一家》有许多乖僻的次要角色：同事、老师、亲朋好友、地方名人。格勒宁起初只是打算让这些角色出现一次，让他们充当笑料制造者，或用来填补小镇需要的一些功能。不过，大部分的这些角色后来都被保留了下来，其形象也得到扩充，甚至不少角色在后来还成为了几集动画的中心人物。据马特·格勒宁所说，动画采用了喜剧节目《第二城市电视台》（SCTV）中使用大量配角制作节目的概念。(摘自Wikipedia)TheSimpsonsisananimatedsitcomaboutthemodernfamily.ItisFOX’smostsuccessfulTVshowtodate.Itstartedasaone-minutefillerontheTraceyUllmanShowbutsoonevolvedintoAmerica’sfavoritecomedy.TheSimpsonsfocusesonafamilyoffive.Thereisthefather,Homer,adull-witted,alcoholic,lazy,butlovableman.Heoftengetshisfamilyintocrazysituationsbutalwaysmanagestofixthings.Themother,Marge,isastayathomemomwhokeepsthefamilytogether.Sheistheidealwifeandmotherthoughshecanbealittlenaiveattimes.Shealwaysdoeswhatshethinksisbestforherfamily.NextisBart,the10yearoldboywholivesonplayingpranks.Hegetsintoalotoftroublebutisgenerallyagoodkid.Nextistheneglectedmiddlechild,Lisa.Lisaisthebrainofthefamilyandsometimesfeelsleftoutbecauseofthat.Sheisanoutcastatschoolbecauseofhertalent.FinallythereisMaggiethebaby.Thoughshedoesn’tsaymuchsheiswellknownespeciallyforherredpacifier.Nowthelongest-runningcomedyintelevisionhistory,THESIMPSONSimmediatelystruckachordwithviewersacrossthecountryasitpokedfunofitselfandeverythinginitswake.Withitssubversivehumoranddelightfulwit,theserieshasmadeanindelibleimprintonAmericanpopculture,andthefamilymembershavebecometelevisionicons.January14,2009kickedoff"Best.20Years.Ever.,"ayear-longglobal20thanniversarycelebrationofallthingsSIMPSONS.TheyearwillconcludeonJanuary14,2010andwillfeatureTHESIMPSONS20THANNIVERSARYSPECIAL–IN3-D!ONICE!,producedanddirectedbyAcademyAward-nominatedfilmmakerMorganSpurlock("SuperSizeMe,""30Days").Inthespecial,SpurlockwillexaminetheculturalphenomenonofTHESIMPSONSinhisdistinctiveandinnovativestyle.Thecriticallypraisedserieshasbeenbestowedwithnumeroushonors,includingrecentlyreceivingfiveEmmynominationsforthe2008-2009season.Overthecourseoftheirtwo-decaderun,THESIMPSONShavewon24EmmyAwards:12forOutstandingVoice-OverPerformance,10forOutstandingAnimatedProgramandtwoforOutstandingOriginalMainTitleThemeMusic.THESIMPSONSisaGracieFilmsproductioninassociationwith20thCenturyFoxTelevision.JamesL.Brooks,MattGroeningandAlJeanaretheexecutiveproducers.FilmRoman,aStarzMediacompany,istheanimationhouse.MikeB.Andersonservesasthesupervisinganimationdirector.

Based on the Epic Greek Poem as sung by Homer.

A majestic film in which two stories easily fit. One about a filmmaker who is a little like Diaz himself and wrestles with the completion of his film and with greedy film festival programmers. And one about a religious leader. Also a little like Diaz himself?                                                                    The films of Lav Diaz often tell serious epic stories, but they are still not entirely free from humour and satire. For instance in this film, Diaz takes the mickey out of festival programmers and also sketches a picture of himself that is not entirely free from self-mockery.                                                                    The film has two or three stories (also a film in the film) and one of them focuses on the filmmaker Homer, who very much resembles Lav Diaz himself. The tortured filmmaker wrestles with completing his film. Despite pleas from those around him and from eager programmers, he continues to refuse to regard his film as finished. Alongside the story about a nun in the film on which Homer is working, there’s another story about the religious leader Father Turbico. Turbico leads a sect in the countryside that is primarily made up of young women. When one of the women wants to leave the sect, a dramatic situation ensues.                                                                    By telling the stories in parallel, similarities become visible between Homer’s struggle with cinema and Turbico's struggle with faith.
