Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
是个精彩的好故事，仅此而已。压迫式的直白观点输出真的爱不起来。
也是上课看的，学生都不爱看。对于这段历史我也不了解，虽然有点感兴趣，有些点还是能看懂的，但是还是太晦涩了
又经过一场高信息密度台词的洗礼，开篇惊艳，叙事无闲笔，猪肚豹尾，还是熟悉的艾伦索金，谁能说不精彩呢。美国五六十年代波澜壮阔的民权运动，联想当下blm，fishingvilla，thailand的运动又多了很多分敬重，权力豢养出来的狗腿子哪儿都有，但那些勇于抗争又正直可敬的人民才是民族的希望啊
艾伦索金式的主旋律正能量。厉害的编剧技巧把复杂的历史事件讲得通俗易懂，虽然情节上设计感很强，但台词的能量搭配演员们的演绎让整个故事看得“爽”。剪辑完全服务于剧情了，看得时候不免会想如果还是斯皮尔伯格拍或者交给大卫芬奇会是怎样一番面貌。又一次标准且优秀的剧本模板。
把人物讲清楚就没法把事件讲深刻，剪辑的拼贴有在加快节奏，然而其实没必要在人物复述当时的时候立刻附送现场记录，叙事太满没有留白。对话信息量很大，多是一般性的表层描述，以及对角色性格的快速摹写（依靠俏皮话和前后反差），涉及到更深的对民权运动的探讨，这种思考是缺席的，尤其离开法庭讨论来到运动爆发的现场，变成了情绪泛滥的作品事故，几乎失真了。波拉特演得好，马克里朗斯得拿个表演奖吧。

“怎么样才是你所认为的和平解散并推倒你的政府”
倒数第二段前司法长出庭作证让人燃起希望，最后一段内部预演激烈又还原事实真相，庭上逐一报5000多名越战逝去的年轻生命，震撼。电影不错，但对外文名字名盲，每次看这样的庭审都吃力，来回看了几遍才把后一小时看完。
很有张力的法庭群戏，台词和冲突设置满分。看过的片子里，cultural revolution真是影响了全世界，从北爱尔兰（以父之名）到巴黎（戏梦巴黎），再到芝加哥的Abbie Hoffman。

最后的庭审群像仿佛油画
有点不像Aaron的感觉了，演员阵容真的很不错，要没他们，恐怕会比茉莉还要垮。美式主旋律现在面临巨大危机，都到连索金都无法挽救的地步了。个人觉得，索金还是专注美剧吧，电影真的需要非常适合他的题材，否则就是这个不上不下的样子，毕竟是舞台出来的，对镜头语言还缺乏一些空间上的想象。
“Do you have contempt for your government? ” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.”
看的时候还在感慨，我从来都不知道我们法庭的秩序规则和流程。而且作为公民我对政治的看法就是没有参与感，更确切说是自己对政治没有敏感度，而在国外，他们把这看得极其重要。
发现我还是很吃索金的！灯塔坚持住啊别倒！！
叙事技巧高超，但内容还是脸谱化的政治正确。
一星祝愿我们也能有这种社会进步 拍出这类电影
美国律政剧永远能推陈出新，历史上经典政治案件，或名垂千古，或遗臭万年，在这个动荡的2020年重现，极具嘲讽，又意义非凡！
必须有理有据的摆明自己坚定的态度和立场，尤其是面对脑残，赖子和傻缺云云的时候。
watching a mistrial gives me so much anxiety.
