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.
“你是否藐视我们的政府？”
Aaron Sorkin的剧本一如既往的精彩，看得我热血沸腾，庭审辩论和游行闪回间的转接如行云流水，这剪辑也太强了！结尾有种虽败犹荣的自豪感，看着Tom Hayden念名字的时候，我禁不住落泪。这片子正好在2020年上映，也是独具时代意义的。
“你是否藐视我们的政府？”
杀鸡给猴看应该是任何政府任何时期都很惯用的伎俩了，面对政府和司法的不公的那种窒息感简直表现得淋漓尽致，我也再一次被提醒了一个事实：人类真的是历史的复读机。
随审判来临新闻剪辑的狂欢演变成一场持续150多天的马拉松…为游行权利冲突、陪审团变成空椅子、嘲弄揶揄法官已经证明了这就是一场政治秀， 当下应景的BLM抗议和总统选举的喧闹只是在提醒“不要忘重复的历史”
一连串的辩论看的太过瘾了 言论 结社 游行是国家赋予人民的权利 正义终会胜利
有意思的是这些不成气候的“革命者”一个两个还能上审判席，而马丁路德金和马克西姆这种却连审判席也上不了。说明美国政府更清楚那些是疥癣之痒那些是心腹大患。
建制左和激进左的相爱相杀，是不破不立，有破有立的互补共存，即使在右的冷漠视角看来一概都是破坏社会稳定的危险分子。The left因为多元开放允许争论才被称为the left，但即使被分级，被离间，他们依然站在一起。
幽默又好看。在充满恐惧与愤怒的几周里，很难得的笑了出来。
不苦情、不沉重，大量的美式笑话让人忍俊不禁。但笑着看完，却哭着回忆，百老汇的这波美式正能量，我先干为敬。
海登领导的学院学生“温和派”和“一群磕药的嬉皮士”的“激进派”，再加上几个“热心的中产阶级”就能阻止越南战争？阻止越南战争继续下去的是“胡志明小道”和陈庚为首的顾问团。美国政府发现这是个无底洞，及时止损才撤走的。
3.5/5. 1968年的人在问我们为50年后留下什么样的形象，50年后的今天，68年的情绪似乎又回到了我们的脸上，就像电影本身，用一场泾渭分明的“故地重演”，来发起似乎早该在68年解决的问题。只是，这个时代的创造变得更平庸，保守地激进着，自由地顺从着，或者像在这里，在温水中观火。
the whole world is watching，望尘莫及
七年前写过这片的新闻，索金从08年就开始写这个剧本，最早是准备给斯皮尔伯格拍，连着换了三个大导演都没成，最后索金才决定亲自上阵。一直拖延到今年大选前夕，刚好也有了新的时代意义。影片没太展现异皮士的疯狂行为艺术，几乎把全部篇幅都放在他最擅长的文戏台词上，机关枪般密集扫射。“道不同但方向相同”，"If our blood is gonna flow, let it flow all over the city“，“你是否想和平推翻政府？我们每四年都在这么做”，“比起政府对我的蔑视，我对它的蔑视不值得一提”，"All world is watching!" 结案陈词读4752个名字好燃
或许是因为版本的不同，或许是因为那个特殊时期，那时候的感受更加设身处地一些，看到危机时候的互帮互助，以至于那时哭的很厉害。9.11二十年之际，没有谁会忘记那次悲痛，对于整个人类来说，都是一次巨大的反思。rock小镇是那样的开放，包容，I am islander！！！那些乘客，在危机面前，是那样的从容与乐观。机长姐姐的“me and sky”依然是全场的聚焦点。
剧本水平太赞了，几个小高潮基本全靠台词和剪辑撑起来，这种高强度对白的片子可比一般剧情片适合艾伦索金，之前执导的那种编剧转型不适感也差不多都看不出来了，确实有拿明年剧本奖的可能
好好啊！看完现场再看一遍线上版还是觉得好好啊！！！
我给它打五星，因为它激起了我这个学法律的人心中的种种震荡。我们的梦想，就是努力的排除政治的干涉，我们是不让司法审判成为政治表演的底线，法律永远不能成为政府统治的工具。因此我们必须公正、客观、保持先进，永远秉持着正义，以及拥有最重要的品格：勇气。 当然，这绝不代表着我认可那个年代所有的的抗议者的行为。
Phoenix Theatre, London, 4 Nov 2021. 疫情之后看这个剧还真是很有强心剂作用，大家唱得真好啊！
历史上没有哪一次的所谓正义的群体维权事件不会上升为流血和暴力，只能概括为四个字：乌合之众。
