A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.
一切希望、挣扎、痛苦、美好之后是平静，继而循环。爱前半小时及后半小时。
4.5⭐！蒙太奇画面和配乐就像是导演的脑电波，跟随着这般脑回路的沟沟壑壑走完整部电影，完全没有意识到已经过去三小时。
是不该死的人死了，不该活着的人活着，还是活着只是侥幸，死亡才是必然？
落水孩子自己爬上岸了，或许意味着新一代人挣扎着能够自救，而拉布德和法比安这一辈的青年只能在时代急流带来的痛苦漩涡里沉溺。这个早晨他轻快地出门，以为只是去柏林几天……每次离开都一定要好好告别，毕竟活着只是侥幸，死亡才是必然。
我们今天负重前行，只不过是让我们的后代能生活的更好……那背后，是1100万生命。 人，可以以正义的名义，做出无数泯灭人性的事。
甚至强过无主之作，意识流作品，让人想起了 生命不能承受之轻
科妮莉亚，她放弃了前途在每周三等待爱人，而她的爱人死在了那个充满希望的早晨，死在了他即将踏上火车前的几十分钟前，死的那么匪夷所思…他们再也不会相见
谁人不为柏林沉醉？秩序是死亡的前奏，死亡是生命的终曲，沉溺在绝美悲壮的演绎。当宏伟的命题在卑微的时域落脚，倾轧扼杀在泥潭阁楼的尸首便不再令人惊愕，命运玩笑在理想版图上碾压，唯有爱的记忆能够踏上归程的旅途。一股迷离、破碎、眩晕的华丽影像翻腾在当下高度文本化的德国情节剧中，开场回魂至现代的命运列车就已在警醒着世人并不遥远的距离，如同历史长河中回流的血液激活充盈着早已消亡的思想，复古的画面是包裹时间的幻觉假象，挣脱时代悲鸣基调的自由意志正在无望列车上凛冽驰骋，个体的动能穿梭于险恶街头，流光溢彩亦熠熠生辉。先锋无能的疲态撑架不起理想的奋勇，法比安与同为涉足未知异乡人的「柏林亚历山大广场」秉持拥有着相同类似的母体外壳，也同样与这座混沌的城市建立危险不可及的罪恶连结，探究着每一丝堕入混沌黑暗的恶俗现实。

一切都很平静，却能感受到“学术性的力量”好比《无主之作》，这两部应该连起来看！
75/100 几乎没有任何技法则是最大的技巧，极简而又纯粹的编排：一间屋子，一群纳粹领导，高浓度对白，充斥着愿景、公民法、为国奋斗等冠冕堂皇的话语，却讨论着如何清洗整个欧洲的犹太人。
直到最后，累了，走了，逃离这个陌生陆离的城市，回到童年的家乡。只是过往的人和事一直折磨着千疮百孔的心，连最明媚的阳光也驱散不开。
而当友人自杀后，法比安找学院教授对质，教授言不由衷说出——“拉布德为何在政治上如此直言不讳，我们需要新的秩序，事情不能再这样下去了，这种享乐主义......这种后战争时期的混乱必须被终结，凡事都有它的用处，牺牲也是，一切都必须要向好的方向发展”时，事情发展已无可挽回
看的时候总是会想起几年前学校里一个跳楼的学生以及他在票圈里留下的那封遗书。当时的感受一如电影里的那句台词，“不该死的人死去了，该死的人仍活着。”
“你可以带我看看你的柏林，如果它仍然存在”。它完全不像这个时代拍出来的电影，好像一部纪实文学般展现了30年代的柏林，重现了魏玛共和国在享乐主义中走向灭亡。从该死的战争，摧垮的经济到，因理想和生活而遭背叛的爱情，挚友身亡于理想主义的幻灭，最终迎来无情而炙热的身心具焚的结局（救人却被当做淹死的鱼和nc焚烧的书）。“这世界容得下体面吗？”世间轮回，善无好报。法比安的问题似乎永远没有答案。
穿越百年的地铁隧道，回到这1931年的柏林，感觉竟然毫无违和，疯狂的女人，昏暗的走廊，喧嚣的政治，自杀的尸体，绝望的女人，不灭的感情，溺亡的作家，这一切都在炫目的焰火中燃烧成了灰烬，焦虑伴随着浮躁，政治和文学，艺术与思想，没有人能粉碎这些除了最极端的毁灭，战争！
扛过前半小时的旁白和蒙太奇就好了。今天连树都更温和了。挨饿都是因为口味挑剔。
三个小时啊，看之前没注意，看了两个小时真的是累了就先这样吧。
当他的尸体在湖中试图学会游泳时，声音已经被烈火掩盖。
整个气氛看起来有没有一点眼熟的感觉？p.s.我太爱汤姆希林了，对我来说就是德国张国荣。中国有太多类似可拍题材了，如果可拍的话，如果用情的话。看的过程中（感情戏）一直在不由自主地流泪，，仿佛自己亲历了一遍。
