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.
除了富豪咆哮导致意外发生那段有点扯，之前都那么理智了，非因为等待的无聊然后逼急了？不至于，别的其实拍的很好啊，特别真实，真实到令人发笑
题材很有趣，但是怎么能把片拍成这样？真的很恶臭。编剧不会以为自己很幽默吧？
抢劫劫持，最后演变得不可收拾，暴露人性大黑暗。小成本搞成这样可以了。
无论是人物还是故事都很单薄。两位男性角色完全是为了衬托女主而存在。墨西哥裔花匠死的毫无作用。女主咋就能突然黑化连杀两人。特别不能说服人
稀碎。两个道理：1. 家里少装玻璃门；2.鞋带绑紧些，弯腰绑鞋带不知道还会不会有命站起来
富豪傲慢恶心，年轻漂亮妻子心狠手辣，男主干着抢劫买卖却又唯唯诺诺
可能是先入为主还是怎样，挺喜欢王大爷的综艺表现的，所以想看看。开始就很莫名其妙，剧情也没怎么理顺，后来想可能是无厘头，但是笑点真的没怎么get到，一直还期待一些反转，直到包贝尔出现，半个多小时了，就真的很神了。看来没什么希望了，只能溜了溜了。
2.5吧，多一星给我爸妈说“现在这电影可以做成这样，挺有意思哈”。确实以电影的形式呈现这样的创意很有趣，很加分，这是加分项。但喜剧，还得是开心麻花踩雷几率小，我很吃开心麻花那一套。这里的几个笑点竟然又是聚焦在了性和屎尿屁，没那么露骨，但是差点意思。最有意思的是最后林更新是边牧的出现哈哈哈哈哈，以及九亿少女的梦。焦俊艳演技瓶颈了吗？从法医秦明没看到一丁点进步，多接一些性格差异大的角色吧。
创意不错，挺有看点，有几处拍的很欢乐，最后还升华了一下，结局也蛮不错的。
凑合吧，想法不错，没拍好。张子栋那句“我不是你的狐朋，我是你的狗友啊”有笑到我
一开始以为是悬疑片，然后觉着像是喜剧，最后才明白是部荒诞片。虽然知道是在讽刺某些个阶级，但又因为导演水平不到家而变得很尴尬…复古的背景音乐很突出，配合蒙太奇镜头有种五六十年代希区柯克式的悬疑味道，但是这片子的悬疑只是调味料，既然要把问题深入化，那么这种滥用的静止镜头只会让观众觉得乏味而拖沓…再配上没完没了的音乐🎶只让人觉得又慢又吵～
满嘴顺口溜，这是要考研啊！
高概念喜剧，创意非常有趣（虽然是漫改），静物化人从影像表现方式上来说并不难，也确实是好玩的。只不过精力都放在台词的押韵俏皮上了，不是不行，但得有清晰的主线吧？女主虽然是工具人，好歹得给人家点成长空间？这也太不尊重工具人了。
其实是一部还行的喜剧，笑点是有的，但是剧情太过简单，什么起合转折都没有……彩蛋倒是挺有意思
剧中人基本上都认识
家属选的下饭电影，剧情略尬，比起男女主角，我居然觉得那只小黄狗挺好玩儿～才发现居然是今年的新电影，陪人吃饭时候乐呵下还成，院线或独处的话，大概率不会看～
这么好的脑洞，故事拍出来实在差了点，演员的张力，情节的设计，导演讲故事的能力，都不够，但是作为国内的奇幻类别电影，还是有一定的可看性
脑洞打开，生活如此high！电影的剧情轻松，搞笑，观看毫无门槛，适合所有年龄阶段的观众。
