Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
政治意味太过浓重,反而冲淡了恐怖片的味道。
看完后谁还敢歧视黑人啊。👊🏿👴🏿👨🏿🦲🧑🏿🦲👊🏿
整部电影，黑人杀的都是白人，我抗议这种对白人的种族歧视。
我最喜欢糖果人故事的一点就在于它根植于社区的群体意识，新作“beehive”的阐发让这个民俗传说更上一层楼。我觉得大家在评价这种触及“先进”议题的作品时，太过关心它阐述的社会问题是否理智，但其实抛开所有都不看，这也是一部非常优秀的虐杀/精神崩溃电影。
悬念/惊悚/关爱的打造堪称失败...睡得很香
都是讲述有关种族的事，得对黑人的历史有一定了解才能看得懂。
又在玩霓虹光影那一套，把讲故事做成一种自我的凝思，突然像一盆水一样端到我面前，我觉得咦好浑浊。基本上只是借了原版的概念过来做新的故事了，尤其是讲故事的方法，背离了传统叙述，不知道乔丹皮尔对于剧本的权力是多大，我看的时候偶尔怀疑他给的是一个半成品的东西，导演试图用精致但空洞的视听去呈现这个浑浊的故事。我觉得故事的内核会匹配多种形式去做，这个形式包括故事的结构和视听的艺术风格，然后这个部分又会再返回来迈向主题内核，这种双向的统一的和谐，是非常有必要的，但这部电影是四分五裂的。
Anthony 小小的身影在高楼大厦和贫民窟间穿梭的画面给我留下了深刻印象，而故事最后往宿命论上靠则削弱了”一个人背后站着一个群体“的历史感，反而像阴魂不散的幽灵寻找替身的寻常路数。最后的皮影戏升华全片，倒是不小的惊喜。以及，看到豆瓣职员表才意识到，原来电影不是乔丹·皮尔导演的。（囧）
Overrated. Nice cinematography tho.
我觉得我可能就是特别吃peele的风格，他真的拍啥我都觉得好看。。。就缺点也挺明显，有些隐喻本来挺清爽硬是拐了两三拐就直接玩儿掉了，剧情里面不合理的地方有不少，但对我来讲都不是事儿。我就喜欢看他的愤怒，和那种不太正经但还是有点吓人的恐怖片呈现方式。另外男主太帅了👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Who can take the sunrise,Sprinkle it with dew?
5:有密集恐惧症的人建议谨慎观看这个电影
细看画面，数次察觉镜头向面孔推近或打特写，又看见镜头拉远框柱社区——这是图像深植文本的痕迹：它呈现那些发出诉求的人，还描绘带着社会遗症的环境。影像处理像文本一样呼唤，故事中这片区域供给叙事力量，而先后出现的面孔就是苦痛的直接参照，当然不必躲藏，因为不光残杀是血淋淋的，受过苦痛的男主和糖果人本人也是血淋淋的。
是种族问题 但看了电影还是不知道你在讲什么
糖果人2021重启版，剧情和老版的第一部有一点点关联。有涉及种族歧视的内容，但总体上比较无聊。全片最精彩的地方大概就是最后几秒，老版的糖果人回归。男主变身糖果人的部分有些重口，手臂逐渐腐烂，最后变成蜂窝，密恐都犯了
08.27.21 The camera language is amazing! Some really talent perspectives shooting from the city and buildings. 'Get-out' style build-up and slow burn. What an awesome thriller work.
在恐怖片和政治诉求两方面的努力都做得很失败，做不到逃出绝命镇那种剧本高度强行融入种族议题的电影多半会向本片那样扑街，同时对种族问题的观察也太片面太远了，祖师爷斯派克李还会拍吃喝嫖赌坑蒙拐骗的黑人底层劣根人物来体现这个群体的复杂性，到现在年轻导演镜头下就唯恐出现负面人物，白人女都对黑人饥渴难耐倒贴，一个gay哥哥的角色更是毫无作用纯粹作为政治正确锦上添花，这就是粉比黑更招黑的理由，结尾煽动对警察的仇恨更是low，从没有任何问题是靠偏见和仇恨能解决的，有这力气不如多拍拍整个制度系统性制造黑人贫民和犯罪者的过程，信不信所有倪哥都有班上被社会接纳，整个黑人群体立马变成社会一等良民？揭露点制度真相不比这装神弄鬼煽动仇恨强？
起码的故事逻辑都没理清楚，就一门心思光顾着卖弄社会隐喻，我觉得这是无能的表现。
但本片不仅毫不恐怖，调度不错但只服务于画面美感，连jump scare都算不上，政治表达更如此浅白，我都不好说这是让位之后的结果。
一部包裹着黑人平权意识形态的惊悚片，讲述方式还很直白。
