这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
奧莉薇婭·科曼和潔希·巴克利就是適合演這種個性卓絕的角色，再加上全身本就帶著怪異特質的梅姬·葛倫霍來導演，如此風格迴異的電影就順勢而生了。
少年的天真无畏、中年的困境危机都表现得淋漓尽致，罗大佑和伍佰的音乐也出现得相当合适，只是拍得比侯孝贤还要沉闷，观看过程也几度睡着，主题曲到是拿出来单曲循环了几次。
年轻的时候总以为自己是世界的主宰。
我们需要更多“女性凝视”下的真实女性角色，那些困境、那些挣扎，不是同为女人都表达不出来的无奈。
全片埋在無法預料的懸疑氣氛中，就連真相披露以後也還是令人不安，不是個愉快的觀影過程。
3.5星。意识流蒙太奇、不可靠的叙事视角、虚实难辩的惊悚悬疑感，都给这部稀松平常的休闲度假类型片增添了剑走偏峰的意味。借助刻画一位不正常的母亲，重新审视并彻底颠覆了现代女性作为母亲时的刻板印象。科尔曼的演技老练精准，不过年轻版的杰西·巴克利的表现丝毫不逊色。
真正的现实主义女性电影，呈现的是复杂的女性形象以及只有女性才能体会的两难困境。
音乐非常非常非常好！其实全片的音乐都听了好多年，现在才看电影。
5/5 @ Golden Village Suntec City
这两个少年，简单纯粹到在伍佰的少年吔安啦的歌词就可以写的明明白白，歌曲和电影是天作之合。
为什么总是要用这样的故事来表现少年的迷茫呢？艺术只能是猛药么？
现在看来有点粗糙了，写实感非常强。贡献了一张太出色的音乐作品辑，以至于我觉得伍佰的歌要好过电影。还有罗大佑和林强的特别出演。
压轴上线，2021最后一部，果然埃琳娜费兰特，妮娜≈莉拉，玛吉吉伦哈尔导演手法可，我真太喜欢杰西巴克利了
[3.5/5.0] 杜篤之，廖慶松，洪興文。
难得找到的画质感人，不过故事还蛮有feel的，高捷首做大哥，少年死于年少，罗大佑和伍佰的歌赞。
3.6分。 看电影之前不知道埃莱娜·费兰特参与了编剧，所以总感觉有种熟悉的故事结构和人物色彩。在知道这是《我的天才女友》的作者写的故事之后，很多不太明白的点基本都能迎刃而解。 片子虽然讲述了一个中年女性的假期旅行，但并不是一个常规的故事，这里面有摸不准的危险和恐惧，也有命运相似的年轻母亲，还有各种或亢奋浪荡，或颓唐温良的男性角色。这些捉摸不定的情绪，在女主角对女儿的思念和愧疚，厌恶和爱恋之间来回荡漾，共同交织一位母亲的复杂面相。
少年吔安啦里，两个有着生活烦恼和解决办法的小镇青年，除了气盛的劲头什么都没有，搭帮来做事，还不自觉地卷入了前后为敌的境地。这种身份的人死了，也就等于古惑仔里在混战中被干掉的阿猫阿狗死了。
费兰特同名小说改编，主题依然是女性困境，悬疑戏份过于抢眼反而影响了主题的传达（很怕女主被那一家人暴揍），总体看下来一般般，应该小说会更细腻和透彻一些，期待看到小说的中文出版。
影片中女儿的哭声听得我心力交瘁，如果离开孩子们两年时间会怎样？48岁的母亲残忍地说出了真相：会特别特别爽。但是爽的背后肯定是无止境的自责与煎熬，并不是每个母亲都可以狠心缺席孩子的哪怕一段时间的成长，而父亲的缺席就很理所当然。费兰特的作品真的很能触及到女性的复杂性及不被看到的另一面。
少年带着无知无畏的勇气闯进了这个混乱的社会，他们自信满满以为能出人头地，最后被干的遍体鳞伤。
