Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
11.29 既是《天国王朝》的老雷，也是《末路狂花》的老雷，雷德利·斯科特这辈子创作母题与人文关怀的（女性、反战）集大成者。三个视角，三种证述，结构上是对《罗生门》叙事的解构与反动，用抽丝剥茧的程序剥开历史迷雾，看似重复，但是每一章节都有笔力千钧的妥协与颠覆，甚至第三章节的演绎方式完全是现代感照进现实力的。这种电影过时吗？我怎么觉得过于先锋了呢
底片是同一张底片，可卡鲁日的显影药水叫“对尊严的虚荣盲信”、勒格里的显影药水叫“欲望自噬的陷阱”、玛格丽特的显影药水叫“女人觉醒的主体性”。
TV动画《鬼灭之刃》的合集：第01~05集→《兄妹的羁绊》、第06~10集→《浅草篇》、第11~14集→《鼓屋敷篇》、第15~21集→《那田蜘蛛山篇》、第22~26集→《柱众会议・蝶屋敷篇》。
只有品味了痛苦，才能珍视以前忽略的快乐；只有领略了平凡，才会收藏当初丢弃的幸福。
我常常想，电影的结尾有没有一种除了大梦一场之外的形式，但好像也很难。除了写个隽永的结尾带点梦幻，和现实连上，就是告诉观众，这里结束了，你该醒了。本片在它自身是很完整的，只是我一直在期待着更多！更多！小丑戏本身就不承担那么多别的东西。所以唯一一点遗憾，可能就是椒麻于内于外都太完整了。
整部影片举重若轻，人如鸿毛在时代的洪流中。从台上到台下，阳间到阴间，历史是一出唱不完的戏，一条渡不完的河。个体身上的灰尘和苦难，抖也抖不尽，说也说不完，但还是要说，不管是用崭新的话语还是古老的曲调也要说，不然时间就是一碗孟婆汤，抹掉了真实的鲜活的记忆，只留下白茫茫的一片废墟。
戏如人生人生如戏。被各种口音的四川话环绕三个小时真的会很想家。人物塑造川味真的很足，墙砌歪了人就跟着歪一下。大环境走向从不由人，但出演好分配给自己的角色已经不是一件容易的事情了。邱福用他的方式接受命运安排的同时，进行诙谐的对抗。这似乎是本片让我觉得比很多演员半熟不生的四川话更有川味的地方。另外一点是连孟婆汤都是有配泡菜的。或许这就是布达佩斯川味大饭店吧。
震惊于这样一部艺术的作品，却毫不枯燥。3个小时把人按在座椅上，看着新又新的剧团几十年流过眼前，微小与宏大呈现出异常的真实。
非常不错的一部电影，看完给人不同的体验，新的感受
多有趣，维伦纽瓦拿着未来拍出历史和过去，雷老爷子拿着过去拍出现在和未来。依然可见，有些事情就算过去了一千年一万年，人类的言行亘古不变。
7.0/10，《鬼灭之刃》第一季，浅草篇，TV版6-10集合集。
叉会儿腰，4星送给我们自己，留一星以后还会更好！！
9.9/10 #Anthology 瑕不掩瑜，固然在调度/节奏上偶有缺失(尤其在中后段略有疲软时)，但这样一出"戏"或"剧"仍然迷人。正如那过浓的妆容，饱和的冷色调，以及扁平且横向的镜头语言，以死亡开篇，邱炯炯用三小时概述了百年来的这出"葬礼"，以"已死"的视角，把"被杀死"的人与事复活，并将其渡往彼岸。某种意义上，主题与艺术形式上是类似于寺山修司的，篇幅与结构又是近于大林宣彦的，但当然都不是，因为这是献给每一个在这个时代依然还在继续"死去"的人，幕布落与不落，"戏"都在被演下去。那些西洋景样的沙盒置景，那些漂浮的过往，许多"事件"本身是隐身的，但又是那样的容易"被看见"，可悲可叹可泣，嬉笑怒骂尽沦落于不言，唯有荒诞以解哀愁。
可以一直看下去，巴适得很，跟着川人苦中作乐
导演的美术出身实在是为电影奠定了强烈的美学风格。表演、服化、布景采用贴近戏班戏台演出，形成了奇妙的戏中戏
《痴》是在讲他人，《椒麻堂会》讲的是自己的祖辈，是在写一种影像家史。是在有限的空间里，无限的想象力，重生到毁灭，两条叙事线的自然切换，人生如戏，舞台依旧。
#FilmfestMünchen2022 感觉内地公映难了⋯ (privileged
在这个时代还能看到这样一部作品是幸运的，近些年华语第一！

将第三章直接打上真相是偷懒讨巧的做法，
