Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
它对这件事的表达不伤、不煽，也不那么戏剧，反而是贴近日常生活的平实温和。
看过现场，重看官摄还是很激动。记忆全部都回来了。有几个演员是发福了啊😂
叙事不错 把一个小舞台算用到极致了 几把凳子 一个转盘 完成一切场景。歌不错 是好听的流行歌 mamamia 那种。有意思的地方：同一组演员演两批不同人物 衣服换的超快
音乐剧将可以情绪放大，人性之光在台上变得更加闪耀，于是我就每场都哭🥹
好爱这个世界啊！爱人们的善意，慷慨，微笑，爱小酒馆里手拉手载歌载舞的喧闹，小岛上的温情小调让人对纽芬兰小镇满怀憧憬，灾难面前用光照出一片大美。
舞台剧 适合一口气看完，服化道具细节 情感氛围演绎到位
有生之年一定一定要跟朋友一起去看一场音乐剧！鸡皮疙瘩都起来了！最喜欢女机长和黑人老妇
年度最佳！超五星超五星超五星！！！节奏！调度！百老汇演员的专业素养！！！看到返美那段音乐可太共情了！！！
让灾难从一个抽象的事件变成一个可以触摸容易共情的事件
如果没有疫情 去年的这个时候 我已经坐在文广 在现场成为了一名纽芬兰人
我是无情眼泪喷射机，疫情你还我CFA国内巡演啊😭
19年最爱的一部 第一次看到戏剧可以这么没有边界 可以这么复杂却简单 这次线上看没想到泪点竟从抽离瞬间的dover fault——Nick的独白开始。可能是最近分离太多了。剧里面有一句说美好的事物都不能长久。希望前一半是真的 后一半是假的。
在如今全球lockdown的时期，“No man is an island"的颂歌显得尤为可贵。这也是我看过了布景、角色、场景转换最有创意的一部音乐剧了，虽然一人分饰好几角，但是个个都人设分明，没有一丝混乱。里面的不同种族、宗教信仰、性别和国籍的陌生人的碰撞和交往都是理想社会中才能达到的和谐。看到最后音乐剧中原型的人和演员一一合影的时候，一边哭一边觉得：哇，原来世界可以这么美好啊。
特别适合这两天疫情和空难的背景下观看，感受善意，寻求治愈。"Tonight we honored what we lost, but we also commemorate what found."
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。
看到IMDB的评分挺高，就下载了，原来又是一部和911相关的作品。中文字幕。
It does hit me！！！
其实历史永远不应该只有一面
太暖了。这不就是我们追求的真善美吗？没有国界，不分种族，忘掉仇恨恐惧偏见，互帮互助才是地球公民的美好愿景不是吗？真希望这个世界越来越温柔：无论你来自多么遥远的远方，诚心欢迎
因为疫情产生了文本外的现实主义价值 又由于喜剧结尾在今年回归了浪漫主义 其角色具这两种精神为一身 so beautiful
