In this very late 60's irreverent, almost anarchic low-budget film, Brian De Palma defines more of his strange, given Hitchcock-like fascination of voyeurism, and attacks the issues of the day. The most prominent of which, both cringe-inducing and just plain funny, is when he focuses on the black-power movement (a black woman handing out fliers asking white people 'do you know what it's like to be black'), which is something that could only work for that time and place, not before or now.
But one of the key things to the interest in the film is 27 year old Robert De Niro (not his first or last film with the director), who plays this character who sits in a room looking out through his telescope at women in their rooms, setting up phony deals, and in the end basically throwing bombs. Those who have said that De Niro can't act and just is himself in every movie should see this movie, if only out of some minor curiosity. A couple of times in the film it's actually not funny, as when there's a disturbance in a black-power meeting (filmed in a grainer, rougher style than the rest of the film).
In the end it's capped off with a rambling monologue in an interview that tops De Niro's in King of Comedy. It's pretty obvious where De Palma's career would go after this, into slightly more mainstream Hollywood territory, but all of his trademarks are here; the dark, almost nail-biting comedy, the perfectly timed style of voyeurism, and interesting usage of locals. Think if De Palma and De Niro did a Monty Python film, only even more low-budget and in its New York way just as off-the-hinges, and you got Hi, Mom! It also contains an eccentric and funny soundtrack.

90岁的老牛仔 依旧温情硬朗 墨西哥风情公路片
真的很羡慕一辈子都在做同一件事的人。希望老爷子长命百岁。
东木的又一部公路片 希望老爷子身体永远硬朗
东木竟然还能演戏，出乎意料，可惜这部的故事有点无聊，但东木老人的戏只能且看且珍惜了。
遥相呼应
21/9/19:Manoel附体东木头向百岁不朽前进。
童话版自传体电影
天 这么滑铁卢的作品真的想不到啊 太失水准了
看这部电影和在「奥德赛」里面去到「月亮背面的更背面」发生在同一个晚上：一次所有元素的闪回和重现，以一种奖励、感谢、以及最终最终你抵达了终点的形式发生。他所看重的，执念的，醒悟的，甚至刻板的「瞬间」都在这里集合。
多一星给91岁的老爷子，一开始任务出来还满是期待的，坚持到老人训野马戏时候就显强弩之末了。一方面不太相信他如今的身体状况能完成片中的危险动作，同时又觉得这样的非商业片，找动作替身的概率也不大，以至于男孩奇迹般的就成了驯马天才，期待的老牛仔一展雄风的戏也只能省了。男孩表演太让人出戏了，公鸡很亮眼，但格格不入。好多点都具备足够张力造成“极端后果”的，却都轻易的略过，有点可惜。耐心看完老人的流水账，能感觉到一丝丝温情，但还是觉得很失落，很失望。6.7/0.15万 【IMDb5.8/1万 北美票房914.43万美元，全球票房985.73万美元】
节奏是挺慢的，但比我想象的要好，完全不无聊~~
老牛仔的告别诗
四平八稳的半公路电影，老爷子伊斯特伍德在91岁高龄的情况下依然可以做到自导自演一部电影已经是非常难得了，因此即使影片内容略显平庸，也值得一个及格以上的分数，当年意气风发的美国牛仔变成孤独老牛仔，影片既是老爷子致敬曾经饰演的角色，也在致敬自己的一生
还是一如既往的温和与英雄迟暮，可惜这部《Cry Macho》除了剧作规整之外也没有什么其他闪光之处了，东木头仍有精力自导自演是一件很令人钦佩的事情，只是在不断地重复的同时也能发觉越来越力不从心，I don't know how to cure "old."。
虽然不是我期望看到的西部对决类型，但东木老爷子拍出来的都不错，真是看一部少一部了。
九十而随心所欲，拍电影终于不再是为了拍电影。
东木一部比一部温润，甚至都懒得为主角设置外部的障碍。黑衣小哥os：我送车来了。
想起来一个事，拍《完美的世界》时候东木就是个老头了，那时候凯文·科斯特纳还是个小伙，现在凯文·科斯特纳都已经是老头了，东木还是个老头。
情节偏简单，小男主演技也青涩，老爷子精神矍铄
