Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
还算可以，打石化蜥蜴那里作画有些问题，估计是把经费省到最后的打戏上了，剧情比较中规中矩吧，算是值得一看。
挺同意波米那句话：当电影的剧情远远落后于现实世界且没有更深层次的表达时，那它就不是合格的。导演消费了太多现实基础，诚然细节设计和表演高于其他同题材作品，但也仅此而已
很真实细腻的一部小家庭影片，中途数度想要落泪。芳仪和马的那场戏实在是点睛之笔。留白很多，看完回首又会觉得什么都讲明白了。这就是生动地描绘了一个普通平凡，但每个人都能共情到的小家庭。
抛去永远上不了网的拨号电脑，还有过时的翻盖手机，其他的一切与这两年别无二致。口罩、肺炎、隔离，太多的类似，所谓的美国梦也一直存在着。而孩子所期待的都不是那个叫jess的朋友，只是那匹白色的能够自由奔跑的马。越被叫美国人，越想逃离，然后就越对母亲抱有敌意。母亲是害怕，女儿是怨恨，而爸爸则是从不知所措到渐渐融入这个家。美国女孩，其实也不过只是女孩罢了。
故事秉承了游戏系列的“大家都不是好东西”以及“没有完美的选择”的黑暗风格，但也算是保留了一些光明的线索以及一丝丝对角色命运和观众心灵的仁慈
挺奇观的，猎魔人和女巫之间的恩恩怨怨，魔法和血肉齐飞，很精彩！
2.5；其实想借一场疫情来完成家庭式的“倾城之恋”几乎就是妄想，矛盾和隔阂已然形成，哪会这般轻易消融，没有深挖自身性格/社会环境而只是稍稍点题几个名词概念，仅靠以情动人显然还不够；凭几个触动心灵的感动瞬间，难以抵消日常生活中难耐的繁琐，双方都怀着想当然将对方判入“自私”的境地，那么终究会迎来亲情泯灭的苦果。撇去文化冲突，寻常家庭亦会面临相同境地。
有点报流水账的感觉，打的还可以，有一点血腥
营造了很多戏剧冲突，关于经济环境，关于文化差异，关于生死离别，甚至于那一场SARS，但好像最后又都难能把这些冲突很好的结合，拼凑的痕迹是如此明显，即便最后希望依靠妹妹的病将一家人重新聚拢，但真的很难有说服力，这种家庭的割裂不是靠几声抽泣就可以化解的。比较之下，瀑布的好就体现出来了。
There’ll always be another monster
杰威尔插曲最大赢家，亲子关系上的相爱相杀很写实，一些很温情的时刻就尽在不言中。
你吼我走。我吼我走。代际沟通有多难？一顿饭都无法好好说话。想要表达自己也需要一场天时地利人和的“演讲”。旁人都知道彼此“很爱”，却谁也无法到达正确的彼岸。原生家庭与代际冲突——在平凡生活里也许只是小打小闹。直到一道雷电不偏不倚地劈到脑袋上。
其实挺不错的，七分是有了，不仅粉丝看了味道是对的，对于不了解猎魔人的故事人来说也是部好动画电影。
中后段太跳了 如果时长足够还能多一些内容的…
女主因仇恨而疯狂，老狼被金钱所蒙蔽，最后酿成了一场彻底的悲剧。剧情接上了，但真希望老爷子能阻止这一切。
推广之。“超级英雄”也具有这样的矛盾。一方面，他们的存在是为了铲除奸邪。但他们的力量和特异，使他们具有“非人”的特性从而不被信任。
动画的风格比真人版更容易接受，看到了一个完全不同的维瑟米尔，希望继续出下去。
其实挺不错的，七分是有了，不仅粉丝看了味道是对的，对于不了解猎魔人的故事人来说也是部好动画电影。
2.5 始终停留在吵架-和好的循环结构剧作模式很难触碰到真正的人性痛点，甚至有肥皂剧的嫌疑，文化冲突之类的议题也没有真正展开。以这部电影架设的母题与叙事结构来说，整体的毛病是缺乏一个类似杨德昌式的对台湾社会犀利透彻的剖析视角。
