You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
【小贴士:带够纸巾】
差点把梅艳芳拍成像是在社会主义核心价值观的红旗下成长起来的歌星。不去细想摄影师为了把王丹妮拍得像梅艳芳而去拼命找角度的样子，就还好。这种电影就属于你不舍得去多要求它些什么的那种，但还是会有不甘只是拍成这样。明明所有情绪都来自阿梅的歌声和她本人难挡的魅力啊。
为什么不是关锦鹏来拍……这个导演拍得太新太商业了，而且哥哥的演员是什么鬼！为什么会那么猥琐！一点都没有哥哥的忧郁和温润如玉的气质，不说他是张国荣我真看不出来。。
男主长得太磕碜了，虽然仓鼠牙符合这个亲和力人设。达妹的故事实力诠释了什么叫即使娶个美女会鸡飞狗跳，但是仍然非美女不娶的男性心理。
除了我和HTT外，厅里都是叔叔阿姨辈的观众，看来梅艳芳的确能够吸引不少中年观影人群，如果条件允许，我倒是也想让父母看看。可能预期比较低，所以整体看下来觉得尚可。用最后一场演唱会首尾呼应挺好的，只是基本上还是从童年开始的流水线叙事模式，所以在结构和剪辑上会觉得比较传统，没有新意。另外张国荣的选角我不是很满意，古天乐和林家栋的表演倒还不错。其实我也去参加《导演请指教》的录制了，关锦鹏在综艺节目中分享了一些《胭脂扣》的幕后故事，让我印象深刻。英年早逝总归是可惜的，但是能在最灿烂的时候死去，我倒是也挺羡慕的。最关键的是，梅艳芳有这么多身边人爱护她、关心她、保护她，且在逝去这么多年后依然有无数的人记住她、怀念她，再想想自己，不免唏嘘。《夕阳之歌》好听。另外这次观影体验还是很美好的，我也挺开心的，真的。
人物传记最容易拍成流水账，本片亦是如此。不过通过梅艳芳人生的几件大事，倒也引领观众看到了梅艳芳的另外一面，她的脆弱、敏感、寂寞、坚持以及对爱的渴望和作为香港女儿的担当与责任，所以更喜欢电影聚焦梅艳芳内心的部分。王丹妮其实外形离梅艳芳有很大距离，她的表演时好时坏，而且电影的美术做得很没有年代感，算是电影的明显败笔。
Just chill for a second.
Everyone try to make a right decision.
生晚了一点，没来得及接受梅姐时代的港文化熏陶。传记电影的作用，除了尊重史实以外更大的使命应该是打开我这样无知路人对人物和时代产生兴趣的窗口吧。但，这个片的窗口，半开不开的，有点尴尬。其中的历史影像资料看起来会更舒心一些。
看完影片，懂了“Smooth”的词义和感觉。人生的初始阶段，很多人和事，既抓不准，也容易会错意。不得不任其擦身而过，如徒手抓鲶鱼。可能我所在的环境，没有慢慢长大的机会，所以羡慕男主到不相信这是真实的～
ps 达妹的演技比我印象中的好多了，感觉语速和表情都自带slow motion效果，很撩，但是特别招同性记恨那种hhhhh
10.30广州Fun范影城杜比全景声点映+路演——
4/20 学校screening和导演Q&A - 确实是Sundance的口味，简单直白却又用能引起我们Gen Z观众共鸣的无数个时刻撑起了全片。年轻的编剧/导演本人还是主演…还是小成本的制作然后还被Apple TV+ 1500万买下全球发行权？真的是非典型成功例子哈哈哈哈
片尾的时候还真有点感动 把自己嫁给舞台...
当发现是97年帅弟弟自编自导自演，我直接变身悲伤蛙
2.这部电影美化了很多人，反而最是美好的那个人被丑化，意难平。
各方面都非常不自然。张国荣这个演员是大败笔
这种让歌迷影迷难以代入的致敬和缅怀，还不如彻底杜撰赤裸裸地圈钱，王丹妮是十足的靓女，但是从台风到嗓音到长相和梅姑大概只有一两成相似吧，哥哥的演员更是毫不相干
一部完全没有必要存在的电影，没有一处地方是对的，不如直接看梅艳芳的生平百科
1.香港的女儿，仗义，不服输，喧嚣却孤独。
