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.
“我今年75岁了，我觉得我这一辈子过得挺不错了。我在到处划皮艇的时候见过很多美好的事物，在爱达荷的河边，我见过一家子的麋鹿，在科罗拉多的湖上，一只大大的白色鹈鹕落在我的皮艇前方，在划过一个弯角后，那里有一块悬崖，我看到上百只燕子停在悬崖上，还有燕子在空中飞舞，而且有了河水的倒映，看起来就像是我也飞起来了，而燕子就在我的四周飞舞，还有雏燕刚刚孵出壳，小小的蛋壳从悬崖落到水面，在水面上漂浮着，那些白白的蛋壳，简直太美妙了。我觉得我经历得够多了，我的人生已经完整了，如果我在那一刻死去的话，对我来说，完全没有问题。我也不知道，也许等我死了之后，我的朋友们会围坐在篝火边，将石块投入火中来纪念我。”
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry. sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why.
#2020金馬影展# 趙婷的作品，我果然還是沒有共鳴啊，尤其後面突然來個老人說教？（說起自己的兒子自殺）不過攝影、法蘭姨、音樂都很好。
对非虚构原作材料的处理，和《乡下人的悲歌》形成鲜明的反差；后者一心求稳，淡化所有全景风貌，只留戏剧矛盾；它却借由Fern之眼，看遍走遍这路，淡述这个国度所拥有的另种面貌。最有玩味的是，角色心境的平和与那种背负着伤痛之间的抉择，并非左右互搏似的僵持，而更像心内心外的循环与对话。Ludovico Einaudi的音乐、脱口而出的诗篇和堪称金句式的台词托陈，赋予了它更厚重的深度和引人着迷的方向。尽管是种得体的点缀，但也会在某些时刻现点突兀。#SendingLovetoDavidStrathairn
和我高中时特别喜欢的那部《荒野生存》就像是A面B面，区别就在于你有没有选择。第一次感觉我的“生活就是一部公路片”这个人生哲理透出无限的苍凉。
像一首隽永悠长而意犹未尽的散文诗，关于旅途、也关于人生。
“See you down the road.”
才知道宋丹丹是赵婷的继母…
身体的箭头虽指向前方，灵魂的箭头却指向过去。被留下来的人如何与自己的余生相处。
一部独具特色的公路电影，因其女性视角和人生哲思而显得平静、深刻、温柔。夜空旷野观看木星、长久略过车窗的景色，都让我想起圣经中摩西的晚年，上帝为他指出应许之地却不令其进入，摩西远眺后便死在山上。生命中的迦南到底在哪里可能并不重要，在路上的过程里才有圆融。
分了三段看的看完的。每段都有哭，最后看那段视频的时候哭到抽泣。
不太喜欢赵婷作品的原因，可能是给我感觉她总试图用西方影像去追求东方意境，台词里讲述的都是琐碎的人生道理，日常感悟。大量的低饱和光线，黯然落寞的镜头色彩，广角下的自然景观，空镜头，无一不是为此而设。但我却总是能感受到矫情、闷气，她越想把作品变成一首诗，我就越清晰地看到诗的死亡。本片对我而言的看点，全部来自于弗兰西斯的表演和形象。
自从看过科恩嫂的《三个广告牌》，其“悍妇”的形象就深入人心。这次也不例外，扮演一个心里向往自由，一路不得停歇的公路“吉普赛”。各种讨生活，各种困难，各种偶遇和分享，各种安居的诱惑，然而她却依然故我地行在路上，享受着自由和风光。无来由地让我觉得她像极了那荆棘鸟，在风中永不落地 | 片中冷色调的风光真是又美丽又让人感到无比凄冷 | 改编自Jessica Bruder所著书籍《Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century》
“那是织女星，不过她离我们有23光年，也就是说，你现在看到的星光来自1987年才到我们这。星体爆炸朝太空放射出等离子体和原子，有些落到地球上，滋养土壤，构成地貌，现在张开右手，望向星星，因为你们手上的一些原子就来自星星，千万年前爆炸中，它们落在地球上，如今到了你们手里。”
荒野与海浪，日出与日落，盘子与戒指，相遇与分离，孤独与自由。
喜欢的不是故事本身，而是细腻无声的情绪。
技艺成熟、情绪冷静自持又暗流涌动，选择的流浪和宿命的选择，人各有命，挺好的。不过令我好奇的是，导演如何能与这样的群体共情，以及十几岁以后的再社会化能够这样彻底地去掉原本的历史文化传统的影响。
我原本以为这个世纪将比科幻小说里先进得多，但二十年过去可预见的只有经济衰退或人口危机。她品尝着产业衰亡的苦果，在亚马逊流水线打包快递，在原始森林触摸古树，她的存在就是在幸福流逝的时空中存在。而我们的存在，正是确认幸福流逝的过程。
当物质匮乏，情感找到归途，精神开始幽微动人。
See you down the road. 很漂亮的電影，也很深刻。想起有些人一輩子不會結婚，總是會有非主流的選擇存在世界，沒有對錯。也想起資本主義使人不快樂。
