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.
体验到了歌剧的感染力，有新意，但仍没有跳脱出传统歌舞类型的框架，放在今年来看已经是佼佼者了。首先加菲的的形象从彼得帕克开始就一直非常适合这种埋头苦干的草根设定，确实是这部影片的不二人选，在影片中一展其别开生面的嗓音有如专业选手，LMM将拉森的歌曲几乎一比一地搬上大银幕并赋予其极大的生命力，围绕生前遗憾的展现不会太过挣扎，而是用拼搏奋斗的献身精神去回应外界的感慨，反而凸显其的传奇性 。泳池五线谱化为创作灵感的设计着实是让人眼前一亮了，献给所有对百老汇舞台抱有激情的创作者和观众，对比今年另一部改编之作《健听女孩》也收获了丰厚的口碑，可能在疫情之年西方世界真的很需要这样重拾热情的话题之作吧。

不是我的菜，跟la la land比不是一个量级的。歌很一般，没啥记忆点，调度也没亮点，林的《汉密尔顿》我就不感冒，这部也一样。
导演从一开始就很想呈现一种又燃又爆炸的氛围，但我从头到尾都没燃起来，甚至有点不耐烦。首先29岁的巨婴真的有点讨人嫌，虽然他真的很有才华啦但跟这种人相处一定会非常累；其次全片把当时的政治环境和酷儿群体的遭遇变成模糊的背景板，我觉得很不可，有好几次明明已经可以把叙事切进去了，又突然生生拔出来，回归最传统的励志叙事，我觉得这极大削弱了故事本身的层次。我不是说这部电影不够励志，是最终呈现出来的这份励志非常单薄，是“年度十大励志人物小传”的那种单薄。而且作为一个顺性别白人直男来说，29岁有什么好焦虑的？对成功的执念太深了啦……另外，太浪费Mj Rodriguez了，就不能多加点戏？

用音乐剧讲述音乐剧people创作音乐剧的故事，音乐剧people真是太……算了不说了，多说多错得罪人。
用Jon自己的音乐剧《Tick, Tick...BOOM!》改编成了他自己传记片，形式很妙。电影形式的紧迫感非常明显，LMM本就是把握节奏的一把好手。只不过感觉，好像还是情绪不够。原版《Tick, Tick...BOOM!》音乐剧live单独拎一首歌出来，都比电影里表现的情绪强烈得多。或许是因为电影有一个情绪递进的需要？还是因为加菲在唱歌的表达上不如音乐剧演员？或者是一切的表现都还过于流于形式？||给三星完全是因为在一个好片的要求上看这部有些低于预期了。但是跨到四星去的话，以这部电影的呈现感觉尚不够。
使用音乐剧作为全片载体是对原型的最大尊重，重要的是首首好听。
我不争气地为上层阶级的离别流下了泪水，子孙满堂，其乐融融真的幸福啊。
我真的很喜欢这剧的感觉，富丽堂皇，森严优雅但是又很温馨，大家都有美好未来。
在不断求新求变求刺激的欧美影视圈里拍出一部以保守主义为基调的剧集也的确体现出了英国人(对自己)的历史热情，现代性在并行着英式保守的过渡乐趣中(与有声电影的过渡形成呼应)也使得一种古典的人性以得体和精致而非猎奇和解构的视角呈现出来，这不仅来自英国人对近现代史的一如既往的自信和骄傲，亦是永远绕不过去的对美好光景的憧憬和复古式想象，无论多有戏剧和冲突，游刃有余的贵族式态度才是英伦范儿的人文内核。保守有保守的美好。
哎，太戳了，29岁还在等待机会的剧作家，到底该怎么坚持下去。这里头的歌我都挺喜欢的，日常小灵感捕捉而成的小歌很多，加菲演和唱都相当努力，久违的baby V一开口我就仿佛回到那个夏天。LMM第一次当导演，感觉那种死线逼近的感觉做紧凑一点会更好。

音乐剧电影最关键的是歌要好听，然而这部没有。加菲怎么有一点点像脸叔了!
动画之于电影，电影之于音乐剧——绝对是利大于弊。另外很喜欢他朋友的段落，激发灵感、激发情感、激发问题，而问题恰是死亡无法掩盖之物的答案。不过影片的音乐（尤其前半部分）不是我菜。P.S. 加菲从头含泪至尾，心疼了心疼了。
这一部依然很唐顿，没有太多的波澜起伏但是却很隽永，看到最后老夫人的去世以及人来人往，还是很唏嘘。P.S.唐家屯电影系列就是每一部看完都想把剧挖出来再看一遍。
更勿论90年代独有的那般复杂的社会环境和特殊的政治氛围。
