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.
我们那些冤假错案被关十几二十年的案件 有没有一个人负过责？这是一部辱华电影
好人，坏人和法官都过于符号化，但至少这样的题材人家敢拍
“尊重一个人的才能取决于他们使用它的目的”
“魔鬼并不存在，而是人创造出来的，那肯定是人按照自己的模样创造的”。
这部电影有十分明显的缺陷,但现实意义也值得打五星。暴力场面令人发指。
speechless... but there is hope and justice. ironically though, in blackwater, it takes years in a modern western world. and then there is also
有点太神话男主了 但是基于真实故事还是挺有意义的
所谓公义基于法律和良心。即使展示悲剧，也避免了发生更多的悲剧。何用避而不谈，粉饰太平。不存在绝对的黑，也永远有追求公义之人。敬佩那些推动社会进步的人。
这世上没有什么天理昭昭，只有邪恶互斗。在各个邪恶集团互斗的缝隙中，普通小民才有了喘息的空间。近几年的电影，不论是《杰伊·比姆》，《成瘾剂量》，《正义的慈悲》，都号称是根据真实案件改变，都喜欢塑造一个圣人，完人。
大部分人就是滥用自己那点微不足道的权力罢了，出了事还得别人给他擦屁股………很多故事就是这么来的
“我们被打只是疼痛一时，认罪却要成为一辈子的小偷。”歧视深藏在每个人心中，当这些人有了权力，暴力只是如期而至。
很可悲的一件事是，当不公正发生时，低种姓并不能通过任何方式讨回公道，最终还是要依靠高种姓的良心。
这是一部有勇气、有力量的电影，揭露民族过往的伤疤，警醒曾经发生甚至仍在进行的不公与罪恶，因为知道了真相，才有改进的可能。我也坚信，只有敢于展示自身的丑陋，敢于坦诚犯下的错误，才是真正的自信；只有敢于指向问题的核心，敢于修正根本的弊病，才是真正的担当。
印度电影单拿出来都属于事倍功半的那种笨电影，时不时让人觉得伪善，但是你不得不佩服有一说一的那股子追求公理正义的愣劲。印度电影的犯罪题材不像好莱坞，抢银行飞车炸街枪战一百年未必有两回，也不像韩国拍那种疑案悬案惨案十几二十年的歇斯底里。印度人拍犯罪片老老实实拍最常见的恶，欺负穷人，祸害妇女，警察打人，官员庇护，种族阶级信仰的歧视。对日常恶的揭露是更有价值的，电影家需要去揭露这种丑陋，而非让观众浸溺于奇观之中。三星电影，因为题材多给一星。
個人觀影史第1624部。在韓國已經把直面直白地揭露制度黑暗的題材拍得家常便飯的時候，印度這邊不但沒讓人覺得這類作品爛大街，還添加了一絲性感（當然也離不開男主角律師本身就長得性感帥氣這一事實）。其實我在想的是，維護公道的過程中，聰明和正直缺一不可——不正直沒那個願心維護公道，不聰明沒那個能力維護公道。行善和公益一樣，看似門檻低，實則門檻極高。
少数族群底层人民的苦，官僚群体相互串通的恶，正义人士无偿助力的善，让一个你看着毫无希望的印度有了某种星星之火可以燎原的可能。就电影本身技术角度而言并不算优秀但这个题材和胆量是我们不会有的。天下乌鸦一般黑，只是有的叫了，有的沉默了，有的是哑巴。
真惨。不太想看下去。都知道是怎么回事了。整个村庄就好像原始人一样。
电影题材选的很好，全景以及一些镜头画面语言也都表现得不错，但歌声与人物的哭嚎总给我一种分裂感，无法深入其中。
真实事件改编的电影总是能引人深思 男主总让我想起杀死一只知更鸟的阿迪克斯。
印度版《辩护人》，真的羡慕印度能拍这样的电影
