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.
3.5，面前旷荡广袤的，不是无依之地，而就是人生啊。核心提取出来也蛮鸡汤的，刚开始还以为是比较严肃的社会议题，后半段一路滑到了“和爱的人总会遇见”这个调性，重回工厂也变成了抒情段落，就还挺奇怪的。可能会朝迈克·李的方向发展？
不懂好在哪里…可能是思想的不一致，没有受过这种文化的熏陶，所以无法感知故事的震撼和感动…一个为爱不顾一切的女人，因为爱守护着丈夫的一切直到无法守候，一路寻找自己生命的意义，尿尿拉屎的镜头意义存在是为了呈现真实感吗？不懂…她是个试图冲破一切常规思维的女人，但是最终还是在常规中迷失……被吹捧的20分神作，被配乐拉到及格线，整部影片亮点只有配乐！
女主角的困境很像当下的普通美国人，抗风险的能力太弱了，一场变故下来，到最后只能是一无所有。爱人去世了，房子没有了，退休金也不够用，又不想寄人篱下，只能靠四处打短工来保证生存，所以她除了在路上漂泊，还能又什么选择呢
There is no final goodbye. I will see you down the road.
和昨天的《送你一朵小红花》在主题之上有着非常惊人的重合。
“献给那些不得不上路的人” ps.这部电影是学习广角摄影很好的素材
莫名还挺适合新年看的。还是没让人失望。科恩嫂仿佛成了观众的眼，带着我们走进了这些Nomads的生活。自始至终都是一种寂寥之感，还挺让人感慨的，有时觉得他们很勇敢，有时也不明白活着到底为什么。配乐煽情有点儿过，但还是挺让人有代入感的。

荒野与海浪，日出与日落，盘子与戒指，相遇与分离，孤独与自由。
就是这个片儿把《审判芝加哥七君子》比下去的啊？
人不必相同地活着，也不必活当下。人可以只活在对过去的追思中与对未来重逢的期盼里，活在不得不将自己流放的路上。这种流动感，是他们灌注生命的方式，是他们得以喘息的通道。

孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见長江天际流……以前不大明白這两句，昨下午看了這片（赶热闹）算明了一點……人生長恨路長在……
非常喜欢，色调和镜头都太美了。有一种深沉的悲伤。
说底层讲底层，底层人民谁看你破风光啊，拍得这么碎片化，讲点肯洛奇一样的挺有故事性的电影不好吗？
车厢里，荒野上，工厂车间，温馨家庭，每个空间的感觉和作用都拍得好清晰。选择“石头”来代表这些houseless的人也很贴切玩味。
两个人撑起来的电影，赵婷作为导演编剧剪辑，将极具个人特质的气息带入，使电影整体保持一种淡然的简洁，有点与自然融为一体的感觉，从摄影、谈话、画面等；麦克多蒙德则用自己的演技完美诠释了这样一位孤独流浪的主角。电影气质有点天人合一的味道，很喜欢最后一幕，即使身处泥泞，历经坎坷，依然选择放下，保持向前。真的很佩服赵婷。
希望所有我爱的人都不必有这样的游荡和浪漫。
看到最后才理解这部电影为何能得奖，因为电影院会有更强的体验感，和女主角一起体验游民式的生活，摄影和配乐完美。但由于非影院的观感，没有那么强的沉浸感，反而为了强化体验而弱化的背后的社会问题，成了更主要的关注点
美国精神的平淡体现，很美，很平静，让谁看了也会对这个“游牧民”群体感兴趣。你需要完全融入主角的心理才能理解到那种意境，天人合一。
