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.
电影似乎在回答一个问题：「即便凑合着过也会有收获，我们为何还要努力做到最好」，那就是「没有选择」，你只能在「倒数时刻」结束前耗尽自己，融化在作品里，而不仅仅是为了你一个人，也包含了朋友的牺牲和包容，伴侣的妥协与鼓励，伙伴的支持与信任，是所有的这些人和你一起，在做一件了不起的事情，这太容易让人热泪盈眶了。 在决定放弃之前，在想要贪图安逸之前，再坚持一下，再试一试，因为遵从内心是一种孤独的勇敢，只有迈过去的人，才有资格品尝胜利的果实，要记住这一点。
其实他自己选择的答案，已经显露在头一句歌词里了。“牢笼还是翅膀，你喜欢哪个？去问飞鸟吧。”
比《安妮特》还要如坐针毡。之前已经决定如果一部电影没办法在30分钟之内让我看进去，就果断放弃，拒绝再浪费时间看烂片。然而我为这片子坚持了一个小时，忍耐力的进度条还是烧完了。第一，节奏混乱，作为歌舞片歌不好听。第二，加菲表现得太arrogant了，为艺术疯癫不代表要arrogant，他的招人烦导致看不下去。第三，一直打破第四面墙太突兀了，不要一言不合句就直视观众好吧，恰好看完《福尔摩斯小姐》没多久，正处于极度anti打破第四面墙的阶段。【∞】
happy ending for everyone的流水账
电影和小说的失落者仿佛永远都会获得成功，
艺术创作者具社会责任感是好事，但请先跳出自我感动的圈子，通篇现实与理想的矛盾撞击，关于所谓的“关注社会问题”的毒品和艾滋等只存在于枝蔓当中些微带过，如果不了解Jon的生平，也很难理解他的年龄焦虑。拍摄手法和布景还是太舞台，包括加菲的表演在内重点都在于谷情绪，创作者的传记侧重在创作是无可厚非，但对于人物塑造会不会太单薄？还有最重要的，音乐真的过耳即忘，也不是不好，就是还不够。我个人是很能get那种燃烧生命为了一件事的人物或作品，但不包括这一部。
有的人30认为自己时间已经不够多，有的30真的时间不够多，后半程后劲真大，差点哭了……想起来瓦妮莎·哈金斯是我18岁之前最喜欢的欧美女星。片子如果不是舞台剧感那么重就给五星了……
大型音乐剧，剪辑非常棒。吵架分手的时候心里还想着怎么写成歌，太真实了。。
导演从一开始就很想呈现一种又燃又爆炸的氛围，但我从头到尾都没燃起来，甚至有点不耐烦。首先29岁的巨婴真的有点讨人嫌，虽然他真的很有才华啦但跟这种人相处一定会非常累；其次全片把当时的政治环境和酷儿群体的遭遇变成模糊的背景板，我觉得很不可，有好几次明明已经可以把叙事切进去了，又突然生生拔出来，回归最传统的励志叙事，我觉得这极大削弱了故事本身的层次。我不是说这部电影不够励志，是最终呈现出来的这份励志非常单薄，是“年度十大励志人物小传”的那种单薄。而且作为一个顺性别白人直男来说，29岁有什么好焦虑的？对成功的执念太深了啦……另外，太浪费Mj Rodriguez了，就不能多加点戏？
而那些强行想要扣题和拔高立意的部分，也因整体影像感的缺失而失效。
tick tick boom
石头姐有爱乐之城，加菲有了倒数时刻，我磕到了
差点以为拍电影这条线会变阿加莎疑案，想起来这是英国主旋律。老夫人的金句依然是唯一记忆点，托亲家老太太的福，把“大表哥”的亲属关系和辈分讲得倍儿清楚，再不用二杆子们瞎问答了。
那些还留在这个行业、为了梦想默默奋斗的创作者们，为自己唱一首生日歌吧。
"you start writing the next one, and after you finish that one, you start on the next, and on and on, that's what it is to be a writer."
三星半。不错的改编，某种程度上的元音乐剧电影。有了乔纳森·拉森的音乐剧，才有了电影，而电影讲述的又是音乐剧的起点，两种艺术借助不同的载体从形式到内容各方面完成呼应，好几幕都不乏动容时刻。
今年最喜欢了。我也要三十了，觉得非常relate，好几首歌唱得泪流满面，也觉得好像tick tick时间不够了，但好像生活里的各方面都还没进入正轨，可不可以让一切停下，可不可以在不失去的情况下就能得到。本来看音乐剧不多，也不知道Larson的故事，听完他的人生觉得命运过于唏嘘了。电影真的很完好地把他和每个人的遗憾梦想坚持展现出来，不上院线有点可惜。ps：why does it take a disaster for things to change? 再ps：奶一口加菲冲奥要成功鸭
片尾的影像比电影更打动人，其实就能说明电影不够成功，加菲在很多方面演的都很好，但对比片尾就很明显的没演出来一个天才应有的形象。不过胜在歌好听，且改编的恰到好处，否则就真的是一部非常平庸的作品
噢，还有一句台词得送给我自己。
Downton never let me down
