A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.
北爱尔兰问题只是带过而已，最多算背景，剧情里面说是宗教冲突有些保守了吧！
没有英国历史背景很难因为暴乱还洗衣粉的小事共鸣
就像这个孩子的梦，所有的美化都加了童年记忆的滤镜。不过，这么可爱的宝贝，还是可以看看的。
音乐挺有趣的，但是整个故事完全看不进去——太轻了，没有举重若轻，就是单纯飘着……而且感觉导演用彩色的方式在拍黑白，整个画面颜色看起来非常的不和谐……
提名剧本奖个人无法认同，台词镜头都很好，但是剧情有点工业化了。离乡的挣扎，一个没出过国的东北人共情了。8.2分
（爱你的家人会在离别时讲"go now, don’t look back.” 啊 我也好想奶奶:( for those who stayed, for those who left, and for those who are lost; 讨论搬家时其中一册booklet是start a new journey in Vancouver, 这些事都已两年了
太过于自我了，不是每条道路都通《罗马》，情感要有，技术也要有
看到一半睡着了，看完剧本发现那些地方睡过去也不影响理解。全片唯一让我印象深刻的就是开头吧。詹米多南拍拍这种角色挺好的，逐渐让我摆脱五十度灰的印象，虽然一开始看还是有点出戏
有思考 有情趣的生活，在哪里都是幸运！拍的真美啊～
就那一小片街区景来回用，那黑白不就是掩盖布景的假么，最大的问题情感跳戏啊，是一会儿感受孩童的天真，一会儿又体会父母的无奈。
肯尼思·布拉纳的童年，对故乡贝尔法斯特的乡愁。复杂的民族宗教暴力冲突下，其实是放之四海而皆准的对和平的渴望。背井离乡应该都是哀愁的吧，除非你不爱自己生长的地方。真是不理解一些人移民到国外就欢天喜地，好像摆脱了黑暗地狱一样。
影片在俄乌开战后看，似乎更应景了点，没人喜欢战争，人人喜欢家园，试问要不是连命都保不住了，谁会离开亲爱的故乡的呢？影片在片尾闪过唯一的全彩色画幅是呈现了当代的贝尔法斯特，而整个电影几乎都是六十年代黑白的过去，但更有质感也更加有趣。你可以把他看作爱尔兰的阿莫多瓦和贾樟柯，他们都在电影里为自己的故乡正名。惊讶的是本片居然没有入围最佳摄影和最佳配乐，离谱！
Kenneth Branagh的童年，写给故乡Belfast的一封情书。影像和叙事会让我想到《罗马》，都是怀念的故事啊！
中国人肯定很难共情和理解一个北爱尔兰家庭为了挣更多钱从贝尔法斯特搬到伦敦的纠结和艰难，这距离差不多只是相当于从青岛到北京的距离。何况那里还充满了暴力、宗教名义下的冲突、债务和各种不安定，对中国人来说，巴不得早早拍屁股走人。
装x装过头了。故事简直一句话就能说完，硬撑了两小时，各种art movie手法乱用来弥补没有故事的大坑。小男孩笑的脸都僵了好像假笑男孩
肯尼沒有作者性，是一定的。就是操作完兩部阿加莎，也挽救不到他過去十年在荷里活，被消耗到所剩無幾的話語權。自己也清楚的吧，自省一回了，結果還是匠氣的呢。
这小男孩怎么这么油腻
黑白历史，彩色戏剧。人们总爱怀念历史，总爱留恋家乡，总爱在不安的时候浪漫一下。#6.5分#
电影院听原声真是太伤害观影体验了😭 我不信我英语那么差一定是他们口音的锅。 去看之前只知道是讲一个街区的故事，也做好了被感动的准备，没有太多的背景知识了解加挺不懂让我对街区冲突的起承转合都完全不明白。但是这样也似乎贴合了导演想表现的儿童视角，童年为什么会有冲突不记得不知道，只知道妈妈会想骑士一样举起盾牌保护我，爸爸和哥哥在坏人来的时候会保护我和妈妈，暗恋的女孩互相交换礼物道别（虽然很学霸的送了我数学教辅）。 在这样的家庭里相信不论去哪里生活都会过得好。最后三行话看到直接泪目，坐在新西兰小文艺电影院看电影的我，那一刻究竟是stay的（对比大批回国的留学生），还是left的，还是lost的呢？ 大概这部片子最适合的就是移居他处远离故土的人了。
当电影的画面从现代化的贝尔法斯特小城忽然转变为黑白色的街道景象时 ，我们就知道导演要给我们展示的是这座城市曾经发生过的历史，是他的童年记忆。
