这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
虽然部分价值观上有不能理解的地方，但总体还是很完整且逻辑通顺的。从头到尾压抑…
槽点有点多，不合情理，然后5岁+20不是25岁吗？怎么还是高中生？
都说桑德拉在本片中演得很隐忍很丧很刚，我倒觉得最后跟妹妹的重逢多多少少要流下一两滴眼泪吧？再怎么刚的女子在情感迸发处也是会流眼泪的。
看下来剧情线也还算简单明了，桑德拉的表演也还可圈可点。
惶恐滩头叹惶恐，零丁洋里叹伶仃，山河破碎风飘絮，身世浮沉雨打萍
整个情节确实是英剧的路子，结尾反转挺意外，但是感觉有点俗，呵呵，结尾也是英剧式的克制。能看得进去。不过现在看西式的普世价值观，总觉得有点虚伪，妹妹才五岁，其实没必要顶罪，对于孩子心理来讲顶不顶罪，没什么区别，她要不记得，不顶罪也没影响，她要记得，顶罪又有什么用，平白分离这么多年，不好意思，剧透了。
教科书一样的电影，剧本，演员，镜头，剪辑，节奏，挑不出一点毛病
隐忍内敛的片子需要静心看，硬伤不少，但不否认要表达这种克制的张力需要好的演技和剧组。
博同情故事，秀情感大戏，女主整容后时代来临，有点变形的假面看起来肥肠难受
剧情稍显狗血，可是表演到位，情绪表达人物关系都立得住
桑德拉·布洛克演的真好啊，光看眼神就把戏演完了，那种情绪在零界点的表演绝了！可惜剧情拉胯，真的刻意和狗血，尤其两兄弟的内容，都不像是这些年的电影。
还好最后是圆满的结局，实在是太虐心了！5岁小孩儿就会开枪？感觉有点夸张。配角都是老熟人啊！
what are we living for
萨德拉·布洛克的演技不输东城梦魇的凯特·温斯莱特，整部剧也足够克制。可惜后面为了救赎，为了达到一个光明的结局，剧情走向太过刻意。
虽然叙事效率不高，支线也支离破碎，但桑德拉·布洛克的表现却无可挑剔，最后一幕的情感力量十分强大。三星。
2022.4.1 「條命貴」麼？警長的死可惜理應是因為他是好人而不是因為他是差佬。出現的人物代表的刻板印象可謂是非常極致了，不過好像「無法重來」也是現實。Ben也提過活在當下緬懷過去還是擔心未來的話題，但還是很難吧，尤其對traumatized人而言。感覺片子有點過於刻意營造情緒了，故事線差點意思，女主把握加分。
偏见无处不在，放哪都一样。桑姑终于不再是个“傻大姐”了。喜欢最后那一个拥抱
前面看着很像《暗黑之地》的风格 但渐入佳境 小仓库里特别害怕Steve一枪崩掉Ruth 那可就彻头彻尾BE了 小妹妹吃蛋糕背对姐姐被抓那组镜头 孩子有魔鬼一样的感觉 妹妹的两段钢琴插入的也恰好有氛围 结尾妹妹走向姐姐 的确催泪
#跟着网飞看电影系列 后半小时哭死。事情真相原来是：she’s five years old .
生而为人真可怜 可怜又真实 每一个人都是对的 每一个立场都无法反驳
