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.
熬过前三分之一突然好看，尤其第三章不仅是玛格丽特夫人视角，也把镜头聚焦到前两章背景中的每个女人。请永远相信受害者。结尾字幕想起Anne of Cleves了有爽到
感觉一般，并没有高分给人感觉的那么好，不要因为是雷老爷子的片就给高分好吧？拍出来的质感当然是好的，特别是战争戏、强暴戏和决斗戏，最后的决斗戏真是非常的精彩，干净利落，血腥刺激，让人看着紧张得血脉喷张。但是，同样是一个故事分不同的视角去讲，重复的情节那么多，虽有罗生门之感，怎么去年的《金刚川》被骂的那么惨，这部咋就没人骂了？还给那么高分？仅仅因为导演是雷德利.斯科特？也太双标了吧。。。另外，中世纪的欧洲人真是野蛮肮脏又愚昧，竟然用决斗结果来断定上帝的旨意，真是服了。。那么多人围观决斗，距离国王和大臣们那么近，也不怕有刺客吗？王权的威严何在？决斗场地像牛圈那么小，哈哈哈。。
三大主演演技太牛了，真正的大制作，场景服装及其还原历史，看的很爽。
亚当司机的帅就是那种，帅的程度感觉刚刚落在渣男或者海王那一档之下一点点，trick你他仿佛是好人里最帅的那一档，但转身就看到他一脸无辜的在用力草一匹母马….
似乎“不接种就不给绿码”的玄疑故事，此片以“尊严-名誉-虚荣”交织“knife-wife-life”，女的要“爱拼才会赢”，男的是“爱赢才会拼”，男的决斗赢了，最后只有往耶路撒冷拼去了……如此看来，还是《道士下山》里暗含的“接种”比较委曲（不是“委屈”）。
三大主演演技太牛了，真正的大制作，场景服装及其还原历史，看的很爽。
#siff#第十三场
复调拍法，对中世纪女性性侵案件的三个视角的呈现，分别是绿帽、施暴者、当事人。和罗生门一样每个人都只能陈述对自己有利的部分忽略掉缺点，而恰恰应该最被重视的女性当事人的证词是最不重要的，女性只是男性的财产而已，千百年来都没变过。
手松下给个四星，出场碰见了来中国工作特地赶来影院的日本武指。追忆篇的真人化有两个难点，一是雪代巴的真人化，二是怎么平衡动作戏和感情戏。村花很给力，但将雪代巴从co-lead改成大女配直接导致了第二点的失败。最终剑心斩杀雪代巴的情感张力因此弱掉了不少，而将情绪的爆发押在剑心视角的“重新认识巴”和闪回9年前首作的首尾闭环，不得不说这部电影最服务的还是系列电影的粉丝和佐藤健的粉丝，而非路人或原作的粉丝。
主角三人还不错，但大本实在是个大败笔，还戴金毛令人出戏，尤其跟马达的对手戏像在拍脱口秀。整个故事差了口气，雷导的宏大叙事没有宏大起来的感觉，为了真女权+1星
蒙昧、宗教、令人厌烦的性、男人、血与禁锢；一个吃绝户的大老粗，一个风流成性的马屁精(四个不同的场景说他帅真的笑死我了）最恶心的还是司机的角色，幻想着她生活得水深火热，以爱之名行强迫之实傲慢又恶心，到死都不认为自己做错了，向上帝祷告也只是告解“通奸”，customary protest my ass，强迫一幕还和之前与大本两个炮友一起嫖的场面完全一致，no means fucking no！; the book of love是《爱经》么？餐桌一幕谈到女人和男人会爱两个时候的静默和大笑也很有意味
那些贵妇是怎样觉得男二是帅哥的？搞笑。据说这叫丑帅。好吧，英文应该没这个词。
今年7月的观影以《浴火鸟》为开始，以南非纪录片《浪客剑心 最终章 追忆篇》做结束。——《追忆篇》给我的观感果不其然胜过《人诛篇》，不过个人还是更喜欢动画版《浪客剑心：追忆篇》。
罗生门叙事好评，结局大好评，人生不过三大喜，升官发财死老公。女性视觉尤其嗲，那赢了也不过是一句叹息，赢了依旧是一个展示的物件，却因为最后文字的结局让人觉得真是一个完美结局。雷导NB！！
却只是奉献了一场生死决斗的戏给围观群众
虚伪邪恶，上帝圣母，宗教科学……
对女权和MeToo的映射简直呼之欲出，除了有点过于工整以外别的都挺好。此外服化道及美术都是老雷一贯的高水平。
看他笑得那么开心就知道，种萝卜肯定比杀人难多了。
前阵子我还在说《罗生门》很适合拿出来翻拍，很符合现在的女权话题趋势，大概就是两个没用的男人和一个可怜的女人，这边就拍了英法百年战争版。不过问题在于不同视角的素材，只是同一段剪辑在不同点，几乎没拍更主观的镜头。有几个设计很喜欢，比如女主审问时被问做爱的感受，很好地融合了愚昧和歧视感；一直让人觉得讨厌的婆婆说自己曾被强奸；还有最后的决斗戏以及后面的游街。
三星半。罗生门式的故事。所谓为女性尊严而战，不过是为了男性尊严而战。
