这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
我们东亚的亲密关系似乎永远也跳脱不出以爱为名的责任、伤害与磨砺。
与其看这些新片不如再重头看一遍杨德昌。
文化冲突、世代冲突都显得很浮于表面 上一个疫情时代刚好呼应了当下的氛围 算是唯一的亮点 一切都好平淡好平淡 这么来看瀑布真的好优秀 还的是钟孟宏
“我不会有一个小孩。”可事实是我已经是两个人的小孩、在没有找到另一条可走的路之前、我接受这个事实。
有些像是日系韩系的亲情剧。家庭内亲情和矛盾，都表现得还不错。 4星推荐
20220315le。看着挺舒服，但实际没有小伟拍得好。谁的家庭不是一地鸡毛。3.5
父母真的不好当啊 片子中女孩的个性也太强了
这个家庭的四个成员每个人都哭过。其实两个孩子的哭只是人生的小插曲，而两个大人的哭才是人生的主题歌。
这一家子的情绪都好不稳定，整个叙事匠气又不高级。全靠同行衬托，难怪《瀑布》都能拿大奖。
而不是感受认同对方的情绪。我知道你很想回美国，在这里很不适应。用叛逆表达自己的痛苦。
非常动人，几位小演员的表演非常好，作为导演第一部长片来说有很多值得学习的地方，尤其是那种人物虚焦的状态，反而突出了生活本身。但很遗憾的是导演想要的有些多，包括两种意识形态的冲突、宗教体系的差异，家庭中个人的故事展开，都没有能够交代，但瑕不掩瑜，很好
影片呈现的家庭关系与情感与本人的现实生活有好些相似性 与瀑布相比似乎更加现实更能击中人心
她把女儿带到了美国，却要责怪她拥有了美国人的思维，真是可笑
有一些压抑和不认同 仿佛是人为的 好在演员可爱啊
4.5吧。我还是想看演讲报告如果有的话。这么处理也不错。 眼浅。
我看之前，电影群的人说，太好哭了，有人说从十几分钟就开始哭，我想我眼窝子这么浅，特意找了独自在家的时候看，打算痛哭一场，没想到，这片共情真是有门槛，相比让我哭的稀里哗啦的狗十三，我看这片全程，无法被打动，无论这母亲还是孩子，是家庭还是学校，都让我觉得烦躁，压抑，厌恶，导演短片Jiejie可以看成是前半部，去的时候难以融入，回来又是如此，换环境对孩子来讲确实伤害很大，不过这里面，妈妈当初到底为什么去美国，去治病？去生孩子？我一直在等一个答案，却一直模糊处理，内容文本上更像是自己人生某一段过往的事件的拼接，像那辆自行车一样，出现之后从没被骑过，造作，
SARS背景下的一个家庭故事…比较细腻的日常，虽然平淡但也有动人的点。
7.5，果然女性导演才能洞察到这种母女之间的情感。最有感触的，是女儿对母亲的“恨及抱怨”，这种情感就像老师说的那样，爱和恨有时候是一体两面。
6/10 台湾爸爸这么亲陆，台湾同学这么反美的吗。结尾被打了一顿后突然生性了，是被马说服的吗？
人是慢慢学着长大的。
