Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
看着看着觉得在看《训龙高手》第一部，结尾有所不同，但大致上差不多就那样。奈飞的电影越来越觉得一般了，太工业化太商业化了。
四颗星给小红，女孩，小蓝（开窗那段萌到了），女大副。只有女孩关心小红身上被刺伤留下的武器，为它去除。TA们在海中穿过水母群的那段。撒谎和挑起战争的皇室，虚假的历史，残忍杀害地球上其他生物和猎巫的人类，这不是很真实吗。这种童话至少比长发公主等和野男人私奔的童话好很多
虽然最后的主题很圣母。。但是还是有它的意义。。尤其是假历史那一段。。希望有一天人类也能清醒的认识已写的历史。。而不是不过脑的认为历史就是历史。。正是那一段段被歪曲的历史影响了我们现在的决断和行动
《驯龙高手》姐妹篇《驯鲸高手》╮(╯▽╰)╭
宫泽贤治的银河，《重庆森林》里的加州，有些理想和目的地似乎从未出发。
好感动，很难解释“大人”是什么，要抛弃一些时间一些人一些事情，要把这些全都抛在身后才能更向前一步，可是有些东西不能抛弃，有些东西不想抛弃，现在的我只能活在过去特定的时刻里，是曾经的时刻给予我养分，现在不过是过去的回响和观照，这样的我无法成为大人。就算看似正常地随着时间体面地前进，依然会在午夜的出租车上闪回过去的种种片段，据说临死之前人的回忆会像走马灯一样重现，是否活着的每一个时刻都基于前一个时刻的小小死亡？BGM就是我的青春，直接戳中我的心
好可爱啊啊啊啊海洋版驯龙高手，呜呜呜大怪物太乖了！！
我第一觉得白左这么恶心，希望哪天编剧和导演的马被狮子吃了，你俩还能加入狮子自然保护区当志愿者
全片看的中配，比预期的要好啊～ 大人和孩子在其中都能找到快乐的一部电影。我比较喜欢小蓝～ 对统治阶级的讽刺注定会让一些人不顺眼，但是这更是加分项～ 小女孩黑皮也没什么不好，反正我是看怪兽的。来豆瓣看演职员表，居然发现有oi侠。。。
我第一觉得白左这么恶心，希望哪天编剧和导演的马被狮子吃了，你俩还能加入狮子自然保护区当志愿者
1、剧本摆脱不了《驯龙高手》的影子，不过给家里小伙子看，足矣；2、竟然有《基地》里的Hari Seldon；3、蓝色小怪太萌了。
除了画风还可以 故事情节以及想象力最多给两分 政治正确和影射美国的太明显了,看得犯困
小红和小蓝过于可爱哈哈哈。
一个老套的故事，甚至怪物形象都很老套，但还是能看的。看了下演员表有点小震惊，雅各布居然是屠夫，哈哈哈，总要猎一点猛的
低配版how to train your dragon
俗套了点，但是关于爱与和解的题材总是能打动大多数人
又环保又平权还很正确外加有萌宠，但就是有种无聊。在电影院看或许会加视效分。
类似驯龙高手，但不及驯龙高手。Butcher的声音辨识度很高啊！
小女孩能和焰魔交流也是有点莫名其妙，最重要的是忠心耿耿的副船长也相信小女孩说的话。
技术上制作水准相当的高，材质光影很写实，包括运镜都是按照真人电影的做法，想知道具体出自是哪家动画团队。政治正确人种兼顾。缺点是小女孩设定太过现代感，部分情节越看越扯，让整体少了些许风味。可惜了，如果没有上述硬伤，开启三部曲也不坏。★★★/6.9
