Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
黑白影像在搭景式的街道里被伪装成历史，混乱碎片化的童年记忆在一首又一首过度密集的歌曲里被随意展现在银幕之上，无法感受真实的历史痕迹和拼贴在一起的家庭生活气息，唯独共情的只有死去的那些人们。只有电影是可爱的，又想看一遍《双虎屠龙》了……
幸也不幸世界是不会如数学题一样只有一个标准答案的
Someone stayed, someone left, someone were lost…
童年的故乡，离开的人总有一天会回想起，那是最深层的记忆，早已融入自己的潜意识，成为自我的一部分。我唯一接受不了的是葬礼之后的歌舞，沉浸痛苦也不能太久，但是失去至亲之后紧接着表现欢乐就太过薄情了，痛苦更能让人成长。
这片子真的是在过度戏剧性和闪亮的电影感之间来回摇摆，节奏乱的很。有的地方很有特色，有的地方让我看的很迷茫。
我相信肯尼斯布拉纳说的，他确实没看过《罗马》，不然也不至于把这个片子拍成个爱尔兰版的《岁月神偷》。但他的摄影肯定看过《罗马》，不止一遍。
4星
Go! Go now. Don't look back! 结尾朱迪丹奇喃喃自语目送一家人离去，电影酝酿已久的乡愁也到了高潮。但也许是那段北爱宗教暴乱的历史过去沉重，削弱了主题，特别是从孩子的视角看许多桥段设计过于刻意，太像舞台剧不够自然，感染力欠缺。不过，诗意的摄影加超赞的配乐，以及演员整体在线的演技，还是值得推荐。最后，豆瓣评分这么低，难道观众口味都喜欢国内院线电影了🤮？
虽然想展示的是动荡年代的故事，但是影片的气质太干净了。尤其是男女主角，找的太漂亮了，共舞那段，也不仅仅是那段，影片的调性没有完全统一。当然，许多细节前后呼应还是蛮钟意的，加酶的洗衣粉广告、父亲高超的投掷能力……总比《斯宾塞》那种直接塞给你的细节展示要好得多。
同样作为乡愁电影，和《罗马》相比，《罗马》的艺术性可是《贝尔法斯特》比不上的。作为儿童第一视角叙述往事，带有更多幽默诙谐的口角，每个导演都有自己独特的乡土故事，比起《罗马》显得更平民了一点。
（《罗马》+《乔乔兔》）/ 3 = 《贝尔法斯特》
其实这部电影拍的不够好 但是近期男童arthur虐杀案让我看到6岁左右的英国男孩都会有一阵难过？
①估计大多数国人看这部电影，是因为包括奥斯卡在内的一堆电影节提名荣誉在身，没错我也在此列，但半个多世纪前北爱尔兰一条街道上某家庭的经历和少年成长故事，似乎与中国观众距离远了一些，无论是地理距离文化距离，还是情感共鸣方面的心理距离，加之全片的故事性并不强，所以前后24小时我才磨磨唧唧断断续续看完；②我对黑白片向来不太感冒，总觉得导演无非是想增加年代感（包括前阵子看的《兹山鱼谱》），但代价是失去了很多可以倚赖颜色传递的信息和意象，且平添了一份矫情和人为的匠气。电影毕竟不是平面摄影，一张黑白照片的所有信息可以在一瞬间通过注视抵达观者内心，电影表现手段是极为复杂和丰富的，放弃色彩，相当于放弃了无数种可能性。
第一场拍街头的戏份就败好感，滥用镜头和剪辑的结果就是乱战只剩下「乱」。从中看不到任何作为导演存在的有效调度，走位混乱到捕捉不到任何镜头语言的美感。所以选择制成黑白电影同样也是这类问题。意义何在？纯粹为了所谓的追忆而凹出故作高级的质感？还有，请放过《罗马》。
肯尼思·布拉纳的童年，对故乡贝尔法斯特的乡愁。复杂的民族宗教暴力冲突下，其实是放之四海而皆准的对和平的渴望。背井离乡应该都是哀愁的吧，除非你不爱自己生长的地方。真是不理解一些人移民到国外就欢天喜地，好像摆脱了黑暗地狱一样。
Kenneth Branagh‘s most personal masterpiece, shooting in gentle black-and-white, with sporadic bursts of glorious color. 音乐好棒。想起一位在Belfast长大的朋友，自带爱尔兰的酒精灵魂与地域自豪。语言塑造氛围，上一次听科林摩根的爱尔兰口音还是在《MERLín》的专访。No one has captured the conflicts in Ireland more eternally than WB Yeats: "All is changed, changed utterly;A terrible beauty is born".
主要打动我的是背井离乡前的哀愁和不舍，我也经历过离开从小熟悉的街区来到一个陌生的地方生活，担心从小一起长大的好友不再联系，担心自己会被这个新地方排斥，担心远离自己家中和蔼可亲的长辈，结果一一应验了，尤其是和长辈一起的点点滴滴实在是让人动容，我相信很多人和我一样都有和爷爷奶奶外公外婆一起度过日常的温馨时光，在父母的疾言厉色下，他们才是幼小的我心中真正的避风港
肯尼斯拿出了他的《阿玛柯德》 北爱尔兰问题 一场同一种族下不同信仰带来的问题 虽然现实却是那样残酷 但从一个小孩儿的视角拍摄出来 显得非常童趣与乐观 开场直接从现在的彩色转到了69年黑白的贝尔法斯特 （中途插入的彩色电影及戏剧效果拔群 分割开两个世界）当被爷爷问是否愿意离开时 他的回答充满着漫浪以及对贝尔法斯特未来的憧憬 电视上放着《双虎屠龙》贝尔法斯特则上演着手足相残 信仰问题贯穿电影 老中幼三代人对于信仰的看法也是大不相同 朱迪丹奇饰演的奶奶常常把上帝挂在嘴边 父亲则站在漩涡之中 小孩则被则开着天主教与新教的玩笑 配乐也是一大亮点 大量充满阳光且积极的配乐 代表小孩子的视角下 残酷现实离他们的距离还是很远的 缺点还是内核太散了 高潮的点推的实在太低了【VUE】
年度观影 No.507
像是《罗马》但又不一样 相同的可能都只是导演对童年的怀念 一开始的空镜我好喜欢 虽然故事不太吸引我可是画面很喜欢
