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.
天呐Jenn Colella的机长太帅了！
终于看到官摄
如果你渴求一个港湾
因为疫情，取消、退票，太过遗憾，还好有官摄，看得又哭又笑的。原来20年了，还没有来得及去纽约看过纪念馆，那一天在班级里看着电视，直到长大后才真的明白那是怎样可怕的灾难。感谢陌生人的善意。
终于看完了这版。几度流泪。我将永远相信残酷现世中存在的人性文明之光。
真的好爱音乐剧....看到以前的同学把她简介改成artist/playwright真的emo了 羡慕可以追梦的人
下回去纽约 晚上啥也不干 把各种正在上演的百老汇全部撸一遍
形式惊人，转场等各种充满想象力。分扣在歌曲并没有特别抓耳。
主题、演员、音乐、灯光、色调，全部完美，角色转换更是牛得没话说。这么短的时间凝聚了这么多种感情，同时没有违和感和生硬感，太强了。
在现在这个时刻，太需要这部音乐剧了。小镇人民敞开大门接纳受911事件影响的一架架飞机，女性男性同性恋、少数族裔、不同信仰的乘客一齐来到了小镇上，这一刻不再有性别与人种之分，面对突如其来的恐怖袭击，他们一同祈祷默哀，人们守望相助和惺惺相惜的状态太治愈人心了。现在世界正在发生剧变，宅生存成了普遍状态，可如果连人心都被锁进了幽闭空间，就挺绝望的。一人分饰多角的表演形式完美契合全剧的主题表达，而其中的个体故事也很有代表性，女机长唱的Me and the sky让人感动。小细节：演员在扮演汽车上的乘客时，身体会保持小幅度的晃动，非常贴近真实，好棒。不过一份分饰多角也会带来一个问题就是人物往往需要用念白的方式来解释自己的身份，剧中也有一段是人物发生争吵，但就匆匆带过了，没有正面解决，有点在意。
看完直想拍手叫好，几近完美，很可能是我今年看过最好的电影/舞台剧/音乐剧了，百老汇果然名不虚传！
离别是：今日舟与车，并力生离愁。明知须臾景，不许稍绸缪。
干了这杯枫叶国鸡汤，看得人老感动了QAQ 几年前在多伦多的Princes of Wales剧院看过这部音乐剧，卡司是哪个版本早不记得了，但音乐挺好听的令人印象深刻，是个蛮令人动容的故事而且它竟然真实发生过。计划去纽芬兰玩玩在b站重看了一遍，笑出猪叫，太有梗了，而且不知道为啥感染力十足，不管是冰球场当冰箱，村里人手一件的黑红格子衬衫，Shoppers DM和Timmy’s，还有酒吧里的Molson霓虹灯。最喜欢女机长独白的那一段，太飒了。最近在看纽芬兰旅游局的一个节目，俩大妈在岛上各处收集民间故事，在甘德就见到了照顾飞机上动物的两位镇民，剧里来自德克萨斯的女士和英国绅士的互诉衷肠的Dover Fault 瞭望塔也成为了当地津津乐道的定情之处，可太有意思啦哈哈哈哈
一开始是很感动，现在这个时候再看“世界人民大团结”的电影，难免鼻子发酸，希望地球村依然是可以想象的。再后来是难过，时代的沙砾掉在个人头上可能就是毁天灭地的陨石。最后是沮丧，看他们纪念10周年，在想我们有没有机会这样纪念什么社会事件？
在恐怖主义袭击全球的环境中，来自一个陌生小镇的温情和善良简直让人倍感温馨动容，人性多么糟糕，人性又是多么美好。20年后，在全球矛盾越发冲突的当下，仍在疫情中挣扎的我们同样渴望着这样一抹来自远方的温暖，来自每个人的友好与关怀，尽力给别人带去力量吧。
精彩，演员表现力简直炸了。摄像巨清晰，就像身临其境一样
舞台利用最大化，每一位演员都身兼多名角色，性格反差明显，特别优秀。
We honor what we lost,we also commemorate what we found.
终于看完了这版。几度流泪。我将永远相信残酷现世中存在的人性文明之光。
