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.
the whole world is watching，望尘莫及
近年来左派电影高峰，三观淋漓，结构紧凑，剪辑犀利，信息密度极大。整部电影就如同俯冲轰炸般发人深省，岂止是美国，整个世界都在经历一个新的60年代。

你在脑海里用理智推敲千遍万遍，最后还是屈服于感性，历史就是这样形成的。
电影逗比都地方在于，幸福的控方都是相似的，不幸的辩方各有各的不幸。同时也让你深切的感受到理想主义化的情绪载舟覆舟的力量，他可以把温和的抗议推向流血的冲突，可以把肃穆的法庭变成荒谬的行为艺术，也可以让不同阵容的人们为同一件事起立鼓掌。
他们的平民团结可以带来正义或者改变，不论输赢，起码曾经为之抗争过。
我看着挺费劲的，里面的角色一个都不喜欢，难以通感共情。印象派电影，台词和镜头贼啦密，咣咣一顿剪一通讲，挺好是都挺好的，但转身就忘，努力集中注意力跟住，哎怎么就吵起来了哎怎么就休庭了哎这又干啥呢？还没办法快进和倍速，不然头更晕。观影结束，什么台词啊场景啊人物啊电影都讲了啥啊，只有些许印象，就是看过了，哎好像是讲了个这么个事儿，哎他们都起立鼓掌欢呼敬礼了，那我也鼓个掌吧。
真的好想看一次现场。
很久没看到这么劲的群戏和文本了，以至于现在很想去把艾伦·索金之前录过的编剧小课堂恶补一番。顺便说一句和电影不太搭边的，看雀斑君用美音演戏总是感觉莫名的出戏。
没条件去看现场的穷人表示这部音乐剧光是bootleg就已经超好看了，默默希望百老汇/伦敦西区音乐剧放出官摄变成常态，为了不影响档期卖票完全可以延后几年再放出来，那些超珍贵的OBC摄影只存起来真的是太可惜了~
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。
疫情的时候在b站看过
真好看。Aaron Sorkin写了这么好的剧本，然后找了些英国演员来挑大梁。Mark Rylance，Eddie和Sacha Baron Cohen都太棒了。
四星半，看哭了，想到很多事，说不出话，说不出话。不想去谈论那些关于什么电影技巧，导演技法，文本是否盖过视听，不想谈，因为没有意义。“—你是否蔑视你的政府？”“—相比政府对我的蔑视，我的蔑视不值一提。”起了一身鸡皮疙瘩。
“- 你竟然把选举排在第一位？平等 正义 教育 贫穷 进步这些排在第二位？ - 如果不赢得选举，谁排第二就不重要了。” 这些年的观察是，人类是不会拥有普世价值的，他谈生存你谈自由，他谈发展你谈公平。世界像是一团皱巴巴的纸，所谓的坐标系根本就不曾存在的，唯一能把大家拉平的办法就只有，付之一炬。
4.5 I think the institutions of our democracy are wonderful things
强权用肮脏下作的手段把白涂成黑，把和理非变成暴力鲜血。时间过得好快，那些消失的人的名字，会有一天被念出来吗？你愿意出多少价钱放弃自己的抗争和思想？我的生命。
在诸多不平等、偏见和政治镇压下的审判下，还能得来的倾向正义的结局大快人心。庭审群戏台词有力，标准完美，层层递进，陈词共情。
原本以为很严肃（确实也很严肃）但tsn的味道很浓，两个最不正经、插科打诨并不合作的yippes是本片最严肃也是最理想主义的人。索金仍然擅长于拍摄庭审场面、对话和群戏，开头半小时很难不想到tsn。the power of speech在庭审场面几乎成了一个irony，无论是真实地黑豹党领袖噤声或是通过驳回动议来体现司法权力的滥用和亵渎。把真实的纪录片和电影画面、所有证人的视角和庭审剪切一起，女孩被击倒在星条旗上扯碎衣服时，暴力和非暴力的界限已经不再明确了。
对于这段历史不了解，但整个影片发展到后期令人热血沸腾，是那种压抑后的热泪盈眶~
