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.
姜还是老的辣
看到一半没看懂从头一气呵成看完。西方自由主义的精神就在于此吧…
开头与结尾的BGM就昭示着这是部庭审爽片XD结尾被感动到了，大概是“自己没有的权利只能通过围观来过瘾”心理吧（“我从未想过我会因自己的思想获罪”，感觉此类题材的庭审佳作都以此做母题（所以我们拍不出来，嗯……））
索金的剧本确实很好，电影三段式地一点一点铺垫奠基，配乐搭配得很好，情绪氛围慢慢达到高涨，戛然而止。
我以为节奏感处理得恰到好处，尤其相比索金导演的前作成熟了很多。剧本苛责的话缺少一个让我惊喜的rosebud，希望芬奇能在《曼克》里做到。
用一场60年代的庭审戏借古讽今，各种因素仿佛一种昨日重现般一一对应。工整、扎实的剧本+精巧的剪辑，将庭审内外与每次开庭的前情提要巧妙穿插。
一看就是花时间打磨的剧本，反观国内导演将中国近现代史最重要的战争花三个月拍出来，实在是个笑话。60年代counterculture一直是我认为美国现代史最有趣最重要最多元的一块，其中各种形式的公众演讲是这个年代表达意识形态最重要的形式，索金walk and talk的编剧习惯的确适合这个题材。
导演/编剧在开拍/开写之前就已经给开庭之前就想给主角团们定罪的大法官定了罪。
B.不能乱啊
不知道法学生看了是会反省还是会迷恋这份优越感。
导演（也是编剧）再一次展示了深厚的台词功底
1969年美国历史上臭名昭著的一场审判，这帮新左派狠人掀起一场社会革命，影响之深远以至于很多画面都成为了流行符号。艾伦索金是处理这类复杂政治历史事件当之无愧的大神，在庞杂的线索中开辟出一条道路，SDS、异皮士、黑豹党、保守派法官，不同人物不同立场的结构叙事，镜像对白的相互呼应。“与政府对我的蔑视相比，我的蔑视不值一提”
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
全世界都在看！好一个“误打误撞”的借古讽今？！枪林弹雨般的密集台词与行云流水的叙事节奏相得益彰，很显然，这是编剧的胜利，以及好剧本的魔力！
雀斑已经演了十几年男学生了！这样言之有物的台词轰炸可以多一点，没有伍迪艾伦式掉书袋引起的那种反感。听聪明人说话，起而为正义抗争，真的燃！
姜还是老的辣
1、作品完成度非常好，尤其是两场警民对峙冲突戏，调度好配乐赞；法庭上没有慷慨激昂的辩论，也没有感人肺腑的陈词，经过多次憋屈和宣泄的交替，黑暗渐渐被展示，沉闷气氛最终被倾泄。当歧视、政治和阴谋被摆上代表正义公平的法庭时，我与被告方和辩护律师一同感到无奈和气愤。2、原来在真正民主的国家自由呐喊也要付出代价，民主和法制赋予了你们发声的自由权利，也消弥了声音所蕴含的能量。可我还是羡慕那份自由。3、如果历史是任人打扮的小姑娘，那么电影就是用来装扮的衣裳，姑娘不会变，衣裳却有千千万。
截止到今天的年度最佳。“酒吧外是20世纪60年代，酒吧内是20世纪50年代”，“是不是只有七个人带着十万卧底cop在抗议？”，还有被枪杀的黑豹党成员都太印象深刻
真实事件？
编与导上的掌控力把很琐碎繁杂的长达百天的审判拍得通俗易懂，既不枯燥也不刻意煽情，更难得是从被审判者到审判者，每个人物都在有限的时间内被刻画得淋漓尽致。“Do you have contempt for your government? ” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.”所以，是「在“自由”地与强权对抗后仍旧感到巨大的无力」绝望，还是「连“自由”地对抗都不曾拥有」更绝望？
