在本片中，烈血《豪斯医生》主演休•劳瑞将脱下白大褂，烈血换上村夫装。带领您一同前往美国新奥尔良，领略这座城市的魅力，聆听最原汁原味的蓝调音乐。他边弹边唱（你没听错，房子叔私下是位灰常有前途的蓝调歌手），将蓝调历史上的趣事信手捏来，抒发对这座城市和蓝调音乐由来已久的仰慕之情。可以说《休•劳瑞的蓝调之旅》不但是一部很好的蓝调知识启蒙素材，也是一场蓝调音乐盛宴。片中休•劳瑞的新奥尔良试听会现场为2012年首次公开，之前只有少部分音乐评论人/记者有幸一睹。试听会曲目收于专辑《Let Them Talk(风言风语)》中，此专辑于2011年发行，旋即占据蓝调排行榜第一名，在流行榜上也有不俗表现，可以算是一张成功的专辑。专业评论界总的说赞扬声居多，但也有人质疑其唱功(vocalability)和感染力(delivery)。但不管怎么说，休•劳瑞是一位真正的音乐家、爱乐者，而绝不是哗众取宠之流。
回复 :影片根据雅努什·柯扎克（Janusz Korczak）真实经历改编。1939年9月，德军占领华沙后，柯扎克拒绝了德国人的邀请，利用教授和医生的身份，在华沙建立了犹太孤儿院，并使这些孩子接受教育……1942年，随着对犹太人迫害的加剧，柯扎克四处筹集资金养活200个犹太孤儿，并与抵抗组织人员接触，但很快他们遭到盖世太保逮捕。柯扎克拒绝了德国走狗为他弄到的瑞士护照，决意与孩子们在一起，最终他与孩子们一起死在了特雷布林卡毒气室……影片力图把柯扎克塑造成视死如归的基督式人物，描述他把正义和尊严放到比安全和生命更重要的位置。影片结尾处孩子们在乡野自由漫跑的镜头属于美好祝愿，导演也许因为觉得若拍摄他们进入毒气室太残忍了吧。
回复 :This is an interesting yet bizarre little tale of a fictional (as far as I know, anyway) experiment performed during the Stalin-controlled years in the USSR. The main character is changed from a woman into a man. This is part of a larger plan to change more women into men and have a stronger work-force/army, etc. It's a very in-depth character study of the main character, who tries to fit into a world that she (now 'he') doesn't really understand, especially since she's now a man ... Stalin dislikes the results of the experiments and has the scientist killed. The main character then goes off to live a life as a simple, unknown everyday Soviet, but is inexplicably drawn into larger and larger schemes (somewhat reminiscent of "Forrest Gump" in that way). (s)He has run-ins with different important characters, including his ex-boyfriend from his days of being a woman, as well as going on a demented quest for the nurse with whom he possibly fell in love after the operation... However, he is trapped in his life as an important Soviet married man, and in the end makes a huge sacrifice for his country (unwillingly), and the movie goes from there to an ending that is possibly happy, yet still somehow incredibly depressing.
