这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
高潮那段长镜头绝了，就是结局飞越养老院转折有点生硬。
拿着8.5英镑时薪的护工，干着又脏又累的活，传染病知识匮乏，新冠时期还缺少各种防护用品，也是聚焦社会热点了。看这个电影感觉英国完全没有正确抗疫，口罩戴的不对，2米安全距离更是扯淡。
压抑绝望，聚焦新冠疫情不需要视角广立意高，能让人感同身受的永远是每一个普通人的遭遇和经历。（观影时间：2021年9月26日；自评：7.7；推荐指数：★★★★）
基本是女主独角戏，通过救赎男主获得自我与家人的唯一一次和解。结局过于仓促。由于新冠题材+1星。
一个小人物陷入泥潭时绝望地挣扎，和在极端境遇下闪烁的人性之光，以及对英国防疫对养老院的不重视的控诉
“It's not my department” 每个人都在说这句话。
“从什么时候起，我们的生命不再平等了？”（看完不禁去xx医生改分，差不多题材或者主题有人在讲故事，以小见大，有人渲染过多，野心太大
热泪盈眶，酸楚的眼泪。灾难之下，人道主义被国家机器拆分成冷冰冰的优先级，处在高优先级的人们——我们，在和平时期不费力地怜悯他人，这时候也紧抓着既得资源无暇他顾。when did our lives stop being worth the same？有几人能没有羞愧地正视这句话？
[2.5]朱迪终于本色口音出演了一回。剧本太弱。covid甚至不是背景撑死算个白噪，
Sarah和Tony之间的情感建立通顺，两人的结局也蛮牵动人心。Sarah独自在养老院的一晚可以说是全片的高潮，孤立无援的绝望感表现过关。 //有点希望这部电影被更多国人知道。
一堆Scousers里只有Jodie说话最好听
疫情前后养老院的故事。我都快忘了疫情之前的世界是什么样了，世界变了就是变了，就是再也回不去了。大时代的背景下，个体要比集体更值得关心。
同一时间看了don’t look up和help 一个是暗讽社会n个问题 一个是直接批判社会的一件事情 后者出来的效果更加深刻
以小见大，提到中国捐赠的医疗物品，好评。结尾有点失落。
社会的弊病会在一次不可控的冲击下被迫丑陋地不得体地暴露出来。
疫情侵袭的段落非常有感染力，不管是国内还是国外，一定有人曾面临过这种无助的境遇。但以我国政治宣传片一向伟光正的风格来看，一般会有医生及时赶到救肯尼于弥留之际。外国疫情处置确实不如我们，但电影拍的不知高到哪里去
不用刻意煽情，也不用歌功颂德，把最真实的画面演绎出来，观众自有评判。刚发现有病例的那一段演的极好，几乎沉浸其中。虽然我国防疫政策给大家带来了诸多不便吧，不过这样一比较，群体免疫政策未免太不人道，生命面前真的有所谓的priority吗？作者把目光投向疗养院，投向老年群体，他们最容易被感染却被忽视，我们每个人都有老的一天，我想没有人想被那样对待吧？最后再感叹一下医疗资源真的太少了！
整体感觉还是仓促了一些。无助、焦虑的情绪通过镜头传达到了。
Good movie to bring is truth and reality.
镜头语言很简单朴实，仿佛纪录片，但那种压抑窒息和无力感却贯穿全程，当然也得益于啾迪超棒的演技，向所有无私奉献的护工致敬！
