The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
假小说变成真故事，日本的刺杀小说家？开头还有点意思，后面有点不在状态，瞎了好创意。
沃茨是制片人之一。小成本。暴雪景色很美。剧本要是好好打磨，会很不错。剪辑不太好。片子里那个男的有病。
男主你这不是写小说了 是纪实文学了…… 绿帽癖丈夫……
最后的片尾曲让我加上了情怀的一颗星。
主要讲了Tony上一代的家族史，如果没有看过原剧肯定是不到两星。
所以永远不要嘲笑一个跌倒的人，他有可能摔碎了蛋蛋。。。用这黑色幽默来结束故事实在有点荒谬
没看过原剧，但就这部电影来说，我觉得还是不错啊。把当时当地的黑帮说得不错
都2022年了还“当然是选择原谅她”，这是碳基生物能写出来的剧本吗？难看到让人发笑。不得不说舔狗是真的牛批。
分数：60
本片是《黑道家族》的前传电影，讲的是剧集男主角东尼索普拉诺在童年和少年时遇到的人和事，那些经历深深地刻在记忆里，影响了他成年后的生活。
从既有的事实展开合理的联想，如此思考下去，自然而然就能看到被隐藏的事实。不得不说，小日本挺会讲故事……
3.5星，无尽的风暴，无尽的孤独，无尽的悔恨与追怀，以及面对死亡时的颓然放弃或落荒而逃间那无止尽的挣扎与搏斗。结尾部分的主题表达有些过分直露，不如面对记者时的回答。
舉重若輕的一天。能原諒自己的人早就原諒了所有人，沒有忘記愛人的人也只需要一個藉口。
意大利黑手党，就是狗屎！
看之前也没抱什么期待，看完后果然也就那样。
其中有黑手党同黑人帮派的火拼，黑手党内部的内讧，对待情人的方式好像私有品，还有种族歧视，其成员的残暴，自私和杀人不眨眼令人寒心，表面上很和睦，但说翻脸就翻脸，看上去有人情味，但其实个个都很无情。
3. 5星，宛如剧本杀，前期铺垫一圈碎片线索，最后终于串起来了，小说和现实穿插的节奏很好，整体故事很完整。
我还是很喜欢结局的，在我心里算是一种全员HE？
“如果你们愿意相信我，就请你们鼓掌吧！你没有这种经历吗？虽然已经束手无策，但还是希望有奇迹发生。如果只要鼓掌精灵就可以不用死去，那我也会感到一些安慰。下次要是到了束手无策的时候，我会试着鼓掌的。”
5.5分都高了！
