Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war.
Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose.
The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away.
Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.
三颗半星。情节中规中矩，有点太zz正确，虽然看到后面还是有点感动的。
20年后的今日，当别有用心之人还在将彼时的悲剧用作思想灌输的素材和立场观点的划分时，Broadway的一场演出将"We're all islanders"歌颂。
看的过程热泪盈眶，这就是原汁原味的百老汇歌剧的魅力。舞台表演永远最能接近艺术的本真，它的爆发力和感染力可能是电影都不能具备的。之前的《汉密尔顿》和《万尼亚舅舅》都制作了官摄版，如果没有疫情想必《来自远方》也不会诞生这个版本。至于表演，永远可以不用质疑歌剧演员的演技，他们超一流的群戏、走位、变装，这种舞台感已经说明了一切。棒！

好有魅力的鸭鸭
终于等到官摄上线，2020年那张无法成行的巡演，等了好久……
Speak truth to yourself. Address your own needs. And enjoy the pleasure while you always can. 男主这身材真的刀削得一般啊惊叹，音乐和跳舞真的太美好了！
从另一个角度写911事件的加拿大音乐剧，二十几位中老年专业音乐剧演员展现了精彩的技艺，值得观看。有点像我们5、60年代看的法国电影《四海之内皆兄弟》一样，展现了灾难面前人类的团结、奋斗精神。在豆瓣评论中看到一篇讲述911事件全过程的记述，则是我的最大收获。会转到朋友圈和微博，供有兴趣的朋友阅读。
欣赏不来。美帝你丑恶的侵略嘴脸在这伪善个啥？想吐
一个时代创伤被用这么温柔温暖的笔触抚慰 大哭一场的同时也感觉被治愈了
此刻我们说着相同的语言，哇，那一瞬间觉得信仰好伟大。陌生人释放善意而产生的羁绊真美好
作为一个有些抗拒Musical的人难得喜欢上的作品，虽然非常美式正能量，但是群像叙事、舞台演绎和main theme实在加分很多，在这样的日子感动于一些人性的美好也不错
好极了。全程都看到母亲的影子，因为我有时就怀疑自己是她为了按部就班完成任务打勾生的，选择看不见或假装不知道或自己骗自己就以为孩子遵守着她的道德传统。希望她也能为自己活几天，不是作为妻子，不是作为母亲，只是作为女人。
Emma Thompson literally glows in the end.
没想到有一天，我也会对这种配置的影片内心毫无波澜甚至有点乏了。浪漫会在生活中出现吗
O！M！G！太好看了吧！来一群陌生人的善意！太好哭了！还很幽默！又哭又笑我本人了！里面的演员唱功也太好了！特别是女飞行员那里，看哭了！N刷的歌剧！
People want different things. 喜欢这个设定，这个流动的关系，有人认真听你说话，有人欣赏你尊重你。
真的好有感染力。百老汇的舞台，有生之年真想去看一场
这种封闭空间全靠对话推进的少数人的舞台剧型电影，英国人玩的最溜。无论套用什么样的大环境和目的，还是需要靠人物关系推动剧情进展的。两代人观念的碰撞与和解，理解与自省才能达到有效交流。Emma Thompson真的是从年轻美到老，尤其第四段，我爱她布满皱纹的容颜和镜前的全裸
二个人的对白剧，通过“深入”了解的过程打开人与人之间的防范。结合欧美文化是一种对彼此肉与灵接纳的唯美的表达，现实做不到的浪漫越是无比憧憬。
