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.
差点以为拍电影这条线会变阿加莎疑案，想起来这是英国主旋律。老夫人的金句依然是唯一记忆点，托亲家老太太的福，把“大表哥”的亲属关系和辈分讲得倍儿清楚，再不用二杆子们瞎问答了。
乔纳森也是幸运的，有流星划过夜空的绚烂。
刹那时光短暂，其间辛酸往事却只作回忆录的寥寥注脚，当写下这段倒数时刻，此时此地有更多值得铭记于心的笑。
不会有人在意才华窒息与梦想坠地的声音，
有点俗……而且歌的确不是特别好……但还是被艾滋的死亡阴影和写作者的痛苦戳到了……虽然这两者也不新吧
表演夸张，容易出戏，无时无刻不在提醒你这是部音乐剧，然而我甚至已经不能被这样的「城市逐梦记」打动了……even though it was adapted from a true story...
电影似乎在回答一个问题：「即便凑合着过也会有收获，我们为何还要努力做到最好」，那就是「没有选择」，你只能在「倒数时刻」结束前耗尽自己，融化在作品里，而不仅仅是为了你一个人，也包含了朋友的牺牲和包容，伴侣的妥协与鼓励，伙伴的支持与信任，是所有的这些人和你一起，在做一件了不起的事情，这太容易让人热泪盈眶了。 在决定放弃之前，在想要贪图安逸之前，再坚持一下，再试一试，因为遵从内心是一种孤独的勇敢，只有迈过去的人，才有资格品尝胜利的果实，要记住这一点。
最泪目的那一段台词：Jonathan的音乐剧演出之后，没有业内人士愿意投资，Jonathan问经纪人，“我该怎么做？” 经纪人回复说，“你开始写下一部剧，写完了就再写一部。剧作家的生涯就是，连续不断的写作。你得一直投稿，希望最终能有回应。” 作为半个同行，简直太有共鸣了，无数次撞墙，无数次自我怀疑，依然还要忍受痛苦坚持写下去，因为放弃自己的天赋才是最大的悲剧。
怀念他们一起长大，儿时的下午最美好
因为是真实故事加一星，而且我还真的看过吉屋出售的音乐剧。整体是音乐剧形式的演出。
用剧作者自己的音乐剧来拍音乐剧传记片实在是再适合不过了。Jonathan的天赋是无可比拟的，他的悲剧为Rent更是蒙上一丝传奇色彩。加菲的表演有功无过，尽管唱功跟专业歌手比还是差了点。影片里能看到不少之后Rent的影子，比如What You Own，La Vie Bohème等等。对Sunday in the Park with George的致敬也很妙，还有很多惊喜客串（林漫威，Hadestown里饰演Hermes的André De Shields，Hamilton饰演大姐二姐的Renée Elise Goldsberry和Phillipa Soo，还有Helen Mirren）。整体而言十分动人，旁边的观众几度都要落泪了。
四星有两星都是感情分。前一个小时那叫一个剪得乱和着急，但是让人又哭又笑也是少有的本事。I hope you will be as happy as our cruel world allows. 👏🏼
影片高开低走旋律亦然，故事处理着实乏味。
确实挺creative的，能看出来林聚聚倾注的真诚炙热，但可惜碎片化的表达没能让作品更进一步，音乐剧做底都会有这样的桎梏。Jon的故事很好哭，加菲的表演超出预期。致，每一位追梦人，每一个充满勇气的梦。
居然Henry全片都没有出现… 唐顿最喜欢的三个女性就是老夫人 mary她妈 mary
hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows
一流作家的二流作品，可以想象当年David Auburn重写本剧时调整故事线的难度，三个主角的视角切换里若隐若现的Sondheim才是整个故事的芯，这个剧是属于Larson的Sunday in the Park with George！一定好好赚钱，然后去finance我表达欲爆炸的朋友们！
今年最喜欢了。我也要三十了，觉得非常relate，好几首歌唱得泪流满面，也觉得好像tick tick时间不够了，但好像生活里的各方面都还没进入正轨，可不可以让一切停下，可不可以在不失去的情况下就能得到。本来看音乐剧不多，也不知道Larson的故事，听完他的人生觉得命运过于唏嘘了。电影真的很完好地把他和每个人的遗憾梦想坚持展现出来，不上院线有点可惜。ps：why does it take a disaster for things to change? 再ps：奶一口加菲冲奥要成功鸭
太美了太精彩了，所有细节都特别走心，英国贵族的魅力真是难以抵挡，结局差点就要飙泪了，亲情的温暖真是瞬间让人融化。很开心能在电影院里看到。也想起19年12月在电影院里看唐顿庄园第一部，那时还不用戴口罩～
用灵动轻盈的方式拍了一个动人的悲剧故事，一个梵高式怀才不遇的天才如何在困苦中继续奋斗，像所有天才一样被误解被放弃，在最终迎来成功时却又永远离开我们的故事。更悲剧的是这样精彩的本应属于大银幕的音乐剧最后只能在网飞看，这依然是一个快消费才华的时代。
