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.
影片在俄乌开战后看，似乎更应景了点，没人喜欢战争，人人喜欢家园，试问要不是连命都保不住了，谁会离开亲爱的故乡的呢？影片在片尾闪过唯一的全彩色画幅是呈现了当代的贝尔法斯特，而整个电影几乎都是六十年代黑白的过去，但更有质感也更加有趣。你可以把他看作爱尔兰的阿莫多瓦和贾樟柯，他们都在电影里为自己的故乡正名。惊讶的是本片居然没有入围最佳摄影和最佳配乐，离谱！
1.黑白电影
Jamie演技肉眼可见的增长，提名男配值得的~
有人提到，这部电影就是布拉纳的『罗马』，的确，不管是题材还是黑白影像的运用，本片似乎与阿方索·卡隆的『罗马』有着异曲同工之妙，但看完全片你就会发现，这是一部精致工整但缺乏感染力的作品，电影对影像和配乐的运用确实特别考究，黑白影像增加了历史质感，拍摄的角度和构图也堪称教科书级，但在故事和情感表达上，却存在很大缺陷，很多私人情感与时代背景割裂，让人很难找到连接，不可否认会有小感动，但难有大共鸣。与『罗马』给我带来的触动相比，这样的落差也许不仅是因为地域、文化、信仰的差异。当然，导演也不只是夹带自我情感的私货，也借着片中父亲对男孩的教导，道明了自己对这段动荡时期的反思：不管是信仰什么，只要他是个正直善良的人，都可以成为朋友。总的来说，比『罗马』差了不止一个档次，庆幸时长适中，不至于冗长乏味。三星
这小男孩怎么这么油腻
三分之一后每出现一首歌和影视剧名称我就翻一次白眼。肯导演的这部电影和《哈利波特》里水货教授的花衣裳如出一辙。这部电影居然被奥提了，滑稽。
肯尼思·布拉纳的童年，对故乡贝尔法斯特的乡愁。复杂的民族宗教暴力冲突下，其实是放之四海而皆准的对和平的渴望。背井离乡应该都是哀愁的吧，除非你不爱自己生长的地方。真是不理解一些人移民到国外就欢天喜地，好像摆脱了黑暗地狱一样。
几首歌真是好听，几处黑白彩色转换也很有意思，也喜欢结尾的Go. Go now. Don't look back。故事虽然跨越很多年，但对当年宗教冲突失业暴乱并没有描述清楚，既缺乏《美国往事》的宏大史诗感和时间沧桑感，也缺乏从男主孩童视角窥视历史事件的亲身经历深入感。
这是怎么回事？拍出来的童年往事这么枯燥无味。金球奖编剧的提名哪个不比它强，结果它拿奖了。奥斯卡最佳影片提名的有它，却没有《最后的决斗》，最佳导演提名有它却没有维伦纽瓦，最佳男配提名有它，却没有《倒数时刻》里那个G，最佳女配有它，却没有《红色火箭》里的女孩或妻子。同是英国片肯定是你挤走了埃德加赖特！
A bottom-up approach to paint the conflict. In broad strokes, the story shows the things that matter to people: their relationship with neighbors, moral integrity, the class/financial struggle, romance untainted by arbitrary divisions. Peeling away structural intellectualizations, we're left with tender feelings for those who made difficult choices.
说教和福音味儿让人腻烦。
调度很差，一到群戏就晃个不停 拿六十年代的乡恋做幌子 实际年代感与布景一点都没做好 特别出戏 居然还得了奥斯卡最佳原创剧本 台词也很装逼
For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost. 确实看出很多《一一》的味道，动荡的年月里更加感慨。
Someone stayed, someone left, someone were lost…
呃真的是毫无惊喜的命题作文式电影……2.5
3星半，叙事结构有模仿《罗马》的痕迹，都是导演对故土情怀的私人记忆，也讨巧的加了BGM来营造氛围，只是政治背景的设立显得有些刻意，小男孩很有灵气，两位老戏骨演技很稳。
镜头感超级好的一部黑白片，关于北爱尔兰的近代故事。
爵爷卸甲归田拍了这部半自传，有些地方拍的还是蛮魔幻，北爱冲突也没描写的太惨烈，目的就是为了给故乡的情书保持温暖的基调吧。小时候我对宗教能引发冲突也会觉得不可思议，现在老了逐步能体会到复杂性。
我知道那段历史不太平 但作为电影表现得太平了 最后高潮部分也是一笔带过 但Judi Dench演得太动人了
致那些留下的故人，致那些离开的游子，以及所有那些迷失的人。
