Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
(Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

看完之后，怀疑三观。。。蜡笔的死忠粉，但是我的眼睛和良心不允许给它高分。。。。。强行凑人物，蜡笔小新的形象被毁的差不多，满满油腻感，编剧到底有没有看过蜡笔小新？？？
从没想过蜡笔小新可以这么燃这么让人飙泪，可以有一部动画鼓励大家自由涂鸦！
再次被一部儿童向动画剧场的深度深深折服。绝对称得上蜡笔小新剧场最佳。看得哭了笑，笑了哭。全片给我的感觉是“真实”而字。由于某些原因，英雄瞬间论为罪人而引发的言论暴力，键盘侠肆意挥霍恶意，围观群众事不关己高高挂起，现实世界中我们见了太多。人物的刻画也没有非黑即白，大反派只不过一心想要救自己的国家和人民，肥嘟嘟也经常由于贪婪而犯错误。影片最后引申出，不论是使用高科技平板，还是半截旧旧的蜡笔，媒介不重要，最重要的是自由自在创作的童心，这才是让人性闪光的特质啊。想说的还有太多太多，用片中小新的一句话结个尾：“真是的，大人啊，都没点大人的样子。”
对于涂鸦的深层意义缺少探讨，所以王国靠涂鸦支撑的设定就比较迷，而且团结众人也只能靠对小新的感谢来发声，并不是唤醒遗失的童趣之类。
好感动，听到“我不想再失去伙伴了”瞬间泪奔。
“那些孩子们是谁？”
总的来说，这次的剧场版非常不错，结尾能够看到所有角色全部登场
我喜欢蜡笔小新，因为那种单纯治愈能让人热泪盈眶的故事情节，只有在蜡笔小新里才会有！小时候看蜡笔小新，就是觉得好笑，可爱，恶趣……长大以后再看，笑着笑着就哭了，每次看蜡笔小新都能让我有一种拥抱生活，拥抱希望的冲动，不管明天怎么样，今天一定要快乐！这一部剧，现在是我心中的天花板！
我还是比较喜欢以前那个以伙伴、勇气、家族为主题的故事
假如像小新大方地撩妹，女友一定一大堆🤪
哈哈哈哈哈哈蜡笔小新还是挺可爱的，这种无脑小撒比的电影真适合几个朋友一起看
100分钟里还有很多旧剧场的感觉，比如大人小孩被分开就很有野生王国的意思，小新千方百计回春日部又有点烤肉之路的意思，最后广播号召大家一起涂鸦又有点大人帝国的感觉。
yyds我的唯一男神 真的每次看到坚强忍泪的下一秒就是向前冲的新酱 就觉得生活真的没那么难
稍逊之前的蜡笔小新 不过还是很好看！漫画一贯的动感
还是熟悉的蜡笔小新那味儿，这次的“新女郎”蛮不错的。不过，感觉这次春日部防卫队的戏份被涂鸦分担了，美伢广志和小葵的镜头也有点少，配角有点多，感情上就有点散了，离别部分感觉力度不是特别够。最后大家从质疑抱怨到同心协力还蛮燃的。涂鸦王国的公主一角感觉有点多余，可以和宫廷画师合并成一个角色。
看完觉得有点悲伤怎么回事。涂鸦四勇士万岁！
能够预知的笑点和泪点，几十部剧场版看下来今年虽然也没跳脱这几年低幼化、情节随意、人物设定平面的桎梏，但是好在也抓着一些珍贵的老传统，玩烂了的友情、亲情在『伪娜娜子』融化时还是能被戳到...（知道再也回不去大人帝国和战国大合战那几年的巅峰，但是这个内核能延续就是从小到大的小新迷的小幸福了☀️
没意思....虽然天马行空，但是少了小新原有的幽默感
终于等到了资源～新酱版的桃太郎～虽然回不到剧场版最精彩的时候，但孤胆英雄与无意识的集体三十年没变过。
