Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
2021年北影节首映，让我多次潸然泪下。七个故事无比温暖且阳光，充满积极向上的力量。虽然影片宣传词着重强调绘本动画，但我更愿意称之为艺术动画。作为艺术动画，算不算第一部我不知道，但现今中国的艺术动画真的是太少了，只能在一些学生作品的短片里看到一些。所以这部动画电影真的是一个非常好的尝试。希望中国动画由此打开一扇新的窗户，迎接更明亮的未来！
最后片尾出现的family tree把我笑死 温馨有趣的爆米花电影
出轨是不可原谅的。当你处于一段长期稳定的关系，但对另一人产生了强烈的喜欢时。你应该判断，你对这另一人的情感是否已不可抑制，是否到了一定要去追求不可的程度。如果是，在采取追求行动之前，跟你的伴侣坦白一切。 如果你对另一人情感尚不能与以结束自己与伴侣的关系抗衡，那么就该好好想想，如何在今后的日子去内化它，如何去自省、修复与伴侣的关系。 所有为出轨正名的言论都让人不甚反感。你背地里的与别人你浓我浓时，是否片刻考虑过伴侣的感受？是否知道你的每一个行为都会让伴侣心碎？在你与另一人肢体接触时，就已经是将你的伴侣放在了背后，你已经闭过眼，已经不再尊重你的伴侣。
同性婚姻之后的很多思考
想讲的东西有点太多了，导致故事面面俱到有点平。整体的喜剧氛围会冲淡情绪，家庭的很多话题其实是深刻的，感觉一笑带过有点可惜
#BJIFF 不小心买了首映的票 还和主创一起拍了合照。有点惊喜！是中国各地方言大赏。一直觉得儿童文学一半是伪命题，因为好的儿童文学不管几岁看都该有感触，参考小王子和爱丽丝。本片里当导演想真诚表达，而不是为小孩子讲故事的时候才最动人。最喜欢第六个故事，想配万青一起服用…一五的画风不错。
见到了心心念念的毛毛导演！心里的小芽芽又长了起来～向着番剧导演努力吧！
四分有两分是给主演之一保罗，好帅哈哈哈。其他给剧情吧，最后升华成功，也表现了夫夫家庭的一些矛盾，但是我不咋感冒。
哈哈哈哈哈哈剧情真是
很喜欢替保罗不值得，到老年岁数了还要遭受爱人的背叛，无语住了西蒙的渣让我想吐在一起那么多年本来就是同性这条路难走一起熬过来了，有那么可爱的养子，一家三口真的不要太幸福，还是背叛了这么好的爱人，最后没复合挺好的，他会遇到比那渣渣更好的，西蒙配不上他
这部电影挺不错的，真实又治愈，电影很温馨很感人，推荐观看
故事不复杂，平淡中也见波澜
狗血淋头之下的，是我之所以为“我”的根本。
糖水，龟苓膏必须加糖，糖尿病了也得加糖4/5
如此干净又如此温暖，这是一束真正的“光”，从现实穿过名为“动画”的空间照进人心。
兔妈妈照顾小兔，萤火虫小女孩找妈妈，糖水老伯的女儿带儿子，哼哈男宝只有妈妈带，河北郏县里的妈妈除了忙农活照顾外婆还要给家人做饭，翼娃子也几乎都跟着妈妈，电影院里也是妈妈带儿子看电影。“母职惩罚纪录片”加上现实里的照应，我笑得想死。
有爱和温情，有诗和远方，更难能可贵的是，还有众生相和烟火气。
即便判定了全是出轨方的错，破碎的感情也不能就此完美如初。
3.5。七次介于童年与长大之间的“只是当时已惘然”，画风融贯中西，总体完成度尚可，但也看得出被命题作文模式削弱了不少独立动画的表现力。惊喜在超过一半都是现实题材，但最爱的还是《萤火虫女孩》。
这一切显然当然你知道，只是你掩盖你忽视还强词夺理说这只是结果。 我去你妈的吧，出轨之前为何不敢坦言相待？垃圾。
