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.
对标《基督最后的诱惑》可以看出明显的差距，虽然试图用反英雄的情节设计来解构传统故事，但现代观念的注入并不多，解构的手法也缺乏新意，最终还是搞成了平庸的成长故事，实在有些可惜。话说“英雄获取贵妇人的腰带”的情节在欧洲英雄传说里还挺常见的，最著名的就是赫拉克勒斯之于希波吕忒，齐格弗里德之于布伦希尔德，比起这两位，高文这段故事还算温柔的。
原来是个鸡娃片。狐狸精挺可爱。还有金枝啊德鲁伊的感觉。
我看不懂，但我大受震撼。（奥斯卡最佳服化道可以冲起来了）
阴森怪诞，邪魅诡谲，以中世纪西方传说为故事蓝本，加入大量神秘学及宗教隐喻，依旧彰显了一贯离经叛道的A24独特且鲜明的风格标签。服装道具、色调光影、构图布景、镜头配乐都为整部电影增添了精致的古典艺术美感。一则关于维护骑士精神的噩梦式寓言，高文的践约之旅也是一场精心安排的品德试炼，章节形式，用冒险路上的种种磨难分别对应合格骑士应当恪守的教条。高文的行为自然玷污了骑士之名，武力的挫败让他丢盔弃甲，美色的诱惑令他踟蹰不前，当这场赌上性命的征程如愿抵达终点时，屡行承诺的勇气终究屈服于断头恐惧，看着幻觉中狼狈逃回家乡的自己过完了耻辱一生，母亲施加魔法的腰带既是免于死亡的护身符，也是放任堕落的诅咒。黄粱梦醒，大彻大悟，落荒而逃的背信者在面对冰冷利斧时引颈待砍，胆怯畏缩的懦夫在决意慷慨赴死那一刻完成蜕变。
属于电影的静谧之旅，骑士五律在旅途之中的普世价值描绘。镜头调度美感不言而喻，当艺术片投资更大引入特效，这对于导演和观众而言都是极大的礼遇。
亚瑟王的故事向来是电影改编的重灾区，亚瑟王和梅林，包括他的圆桌骑士一直是哪里需要去哪里，正儿八经讲亚瑟王的并不多。这部电影看似是在讲一个骑士的冒险故事，其实是一个男孩的成长历程，美中不足的是隐喻太多导致很多东西让人看得不明所以。
比想象中的好很多，想去看原诗作的现代英文翻译！前三十分钟的女巫作法什么的非常劝退，但是当Gaiwan离开城市之后一下子开始变得精彩。在folktale中things happen to you not for you. 所以奇遇巨人等经历好似“无疾而终”，也没有任何道德教育意义，但却在协助Gaiwan成长，让他看到这世界的多样与多变。在城堡里遇见与恋人长相一摸一样的女主人，和城堡主人的离别一吻是对原诗中对诱惑、忠诚、（异/同性）情欲很好的现代改编。有机会想在电影院里再看一次！
真的太晦涩难懂，诡异却又迷人，看了解读才恍然大悟，终于理解了这部叫好不叫座的原因，虽然导演处心积虑，但这门槛好高
向原著提出一个问题：如果预先知晓考验是考验，这考验是否还算数？
套用黑神话悟空的台词:既见未来，把头留下。
虽然情节有点超现实，但是道理是不错的，爱心和同情心超越人类和动物的界限。
除了服化道，表演剪辑叙事好烂啊莫名其妙，白瞎这么好看的海报，最后彩蛋是小女孩戴上皇冠与时俱进端水大师
就和《鬼魅浮生》很像，画面很华丽但是内在太多隐喻，甚至是有点感觉不聪明故弄玄虚的隐喻，导致观感就挺差的……
马戏团让狮子在“人类控制下”“不自由”。
这过程，一直放在我心底就像

成为勇气的证明也许未必需要拥有特别的勇敢，正像成就伟大之事也可能无须通过每一项考验， 决定性的因素发自于你的旅程以及你的心底，也可能旅程的意义就是让你发掘内心的疑问并给出自己的答案。影像和美术系统的构建可称出色，但故事核心的铺陈和展露相对平庸，要想理解其中的表达必须有对原故事的了解，而即便加入了原作的对照系，新赋的意念和读解也只是囿于去神圣化的个人和人性视角，缺乏特别的创见和新意，不是没有妙笔但远未能成就佳章。
绿骑士用手指划过高文的脖子，替代了原本用战斧砍掉头颅的惩罚。
6.2/10，整体艰深晦涩，具有宗教色彩和神秘主义，去叙事化的讲述一个人的成长，在叙事时间上肆意延展或压缩，能看外衣，深入不了灵魂。
查阅了相关故事背景，才看出个所以然。不是很好看，地域文化性过强，艺术手段没多高明，也不怎么深刻。
