Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
整体剧本并不饱满，但是拆解开来一场场戏都是不错的，哪怕你知道它尴尬在哪但想不承认它想憋着不笑都很难，魏翔的表演确实了得，潇洒与悲凉，道出了演员这一行业的光鲜与辛酸。倘若能一直从头笑到尾，不去拔高和煽情，纯粹一些会更好。
我有点想看日本版了。
先看的《魔幻时刻》，再看翻拍的本片，基本全程没笑。并不是因为同一个故事讲两遍就没笑点，比如周星驰的电影就每看必笑，常看常新，而是本片为了搞笑而搞笑，在包袱没抖响的尴尬里，继续吃力抖包袱的拧巴劲儿，丧失了笑果。本片相比原作各个方面都差了一大截。原作里每个人物都有自己的“魔幻时刻”，完成“自我救赎”。本片全部人物都是围绕着魏成功来写，全是工具人。原作里对故事发生的年代，小城和主要场地小酒吧，都有详尽的刻画，大大增加故事的可信度。本片一看就是拙劣的微缩景观+CG，强行设定一个架空的故事，再加上话剧式的灯光和表演，机械的起承转合，看起来哪哪都不缺，又哪哪都不对。说多了就险隘，新导演理应被鼓励。也但愿，所有的新导演都不用再依赖鼓励，画皮画肉也画心。
魏翔终于要演男一号了，喜闻乐见！电影比不上原版，但魏翔表现不错。

一个弄假成真的糊涂龙套翻身故事，也算是个低配版“喜剧之王”吧。米兰的角色其实可以找个更加年轻貌美的出演，选马丽可能是出于角色反差的喜剧效果，或者还有对票房的考虑。黄才伦终于能在一个高票房电影里混个脸熟了。整体而言，故事桥段并不新颖、笑点也谈不上多出色，比较多的还是靠舞台剧的演员功底制造喜剧效果，也有不少很尬的清洁，但也不失为一个能让观众发笑的好氛围的轻松喜剧。
剧情的不合理，与道德的不苛求，是笑点的来源。
即便结尾转成电影拍摄场景也依旧掩盖不了小品式的表演与拍摄风格，但即便如此，在小品日渐拉垮的春节档能带来不尴尬的欢笑已经实属不易了。
流水的男主，铁打的马丽
每年春节带家人去看一部电影，今年选择了这部，图个开心。
真的很久没有看到这样纯粹的喜剧电影了，对我来说真的难得。另，导演对于镜头和灯光把控的很好。真的算是国产电影（尤其在喜剧里）难得值四颗星的作品，太高级了，如果说最大的缺点就是电影名字，其他真的都还可以。
刻意，拖沓，幼稚，俗套，尴尬。
很喜欢“电影拯救世界”这类的主题，如果没有电影，我们的生命那会少了多少乐趣啊~
虽然改编自《魔幻时刻》，但还是非常模式化的开心麻花流水线喜剧，有一些小品的笑点，大部分时间挺粗糙、挺尴尬，架空让整个片子气质变得非常可笑。
该怎么去评价这种电影呢？我觉得每个人的周围都有那些很努力但不是特别有天分的人，不过正是因为他们的努力，他们会比an average person高一点点，会有自己的审美，会有自己的迷影情结，会有自己特别接地气的内容输出，他们作品不是给那些精致的观众看的。挺好的，非常轻松的一部电影，开开心心的两个小时。
同样的主线与内核，跟《新喜剧之王》差的不是一星半点(跟老喜剧之王就别比了）。前半小时无比漫长，但从第一次交易开始是真的好笑！差不多能开心到高潮前(高潮一直靠魏翔玩道具梗撑着，真的有点厌烦）。总体来说还是故事太假，俩脚不沾地，没观众会当真也就没人会代入，包括杀青那段剧组想笑着演让观众哭，但我唯一的感受还是想笑。开心麻花已经第七部作品了，感觉他们并没有特别想进步(或者说吸取观众意见）的意思，你们说我像话剧是吧，那我就越拍越像。
You were given this life because God knows that you are strong enough to live it.
电影舞台剧化后就特别粗糙，一个是感觉特别不真实，另外就是特别劣质，人物服装行为特别架空的感觉，不过好笑还是很好笑的，开心麻花的演员演技都特别在线，过年图个乐
还行吧，本来喜剧就是见仁见智，不过观众还算认可也可以了。完成得一般，有趣的是情境，可惜这个也是买来的。
