Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
节奏慢的令人发指，虽然说有不少童话色彩在内，也有一些特效，可拖沓的故事，空洞的主题，很小的格局，都是让人很难坚持，就算看完，也没有恢弘的场面，更没有惊心动魄的战斗，于是男主个人的成长真心还是蛮无趣的。
当我们发现它可望不可及时 我们把它砍掉 把它消灭 躺在它之上 把它置于我们腹中 但它总是很快就回来
很难得看到加拿大区的片子冲出来 为拍摄动物的难度加一星
年度望子成龙鸡娃大片【。画面精致，诡谲壮丽，可惜故事差点意思
不过景色确实美的很弘大，如果有耐心的话还是可以欣赏一下的。
开头与结局之间的一些场景更有魅力，譬如这那一丛透明的巨人行，有点儿突然又不谬然且不是破谜底式的硬性设定

不过以chapter的形式来叙事感觉有点偷懒，削弱了旅程和故事的连贯性，导致有几段游戏感很强烈，可能也是骑士故事中难以忽略掉巫术这个要素，会有点出戏。
三星半，动物们可太美了，自由的他们才是快乐的他们。
玩完漂流的少年派变成了小王子和狐狸先生来了一场探索大自然的森林之旅，久经考验后，他用头换来了骑士精神…
3.5星！从享乐，从纵容，从骑士之反面，从渴望被绿色腰带之守护到独自承担生命之醒悟。影片与原作有了一定改动，其并非是对高文爵士的那一高尚的骑士精神的诠释，相反则是通过描述其欲望与死亡恐惧等，进而呈现其在成为骑士之路途中的试炼以及自身之成长的故事。
配乐和取景都不错，缺点在于这里面出彩的都是非人的事物。
如果作为寓言来讲的确冗长，拍摄的风格可以，有那种旧式格林童话调调，没有也不需要缜密的逻辑，您也别问，问您就low了。。。
保护动物公益影片，不知道是不是根据真实故事改编的，很奇怪如今这个年代还有马戏团的生存空间。
看着新奇，对游侠故事的新奇，非要说看出什么主题，就是男人的成长吧。
太晦涩，十字军又是我因为不喜欢而造成的知识盲区，所以看不懂，欣赏不了
少年的成长童话，剧情量不大但美术风格实在是太突出了，很喜欢。
不过景色确实美的很弘大，如果有耐心的话还是可以欣赏一下的。
绿色是这片大地的颜色 是生物与生命的颜色
真的太晦涩难懂，诡异却又迷人，看了解读才恍然大悟，终于理解了这部叫好不叫座的原因，虽然导演处心积虑，但这门槛好高
