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.
非常喜欢这个“30岁生日”的故事，而自己也即将到达这个关卡。而立之年，一地碎渣，甚至看不清未来，这样的人生还有多少意义？

有落俗套之处但也有感同身受之处，加菲自我突破歌舞片蛮成功，全片热血也悲伤，歌曲确实很普通，但导演通过一部电影纪念乔纳森已值得敬佩，致敬梦想致敬追梦者。
音符此起彼伏还有快速变更的画面非常流畅，三层结构的创作形式不停地输出一首又一首歌曲反而让剧作失去了节奏，真的真的会让人感到审美疲劳，尽管加菲的表演真诚热烈，但这个故事并不打动人心，即使叙事的材料有九十年代初的伤痛——酷儿苦难和艾滋病，有天才艺术家亘古不变的贫穷与现实辩题，有普通人和天才的选择分歧，最终导演给观众提炼出来的122min还是一个俗套的作品，感觉热情似火却毫无余温。
太远了也太近了，不知道怎么打分。可能一年前看会觉得很cliche，但现在我是一个有遗憾的妥协了的前从业人员。
Happy Birthday Jon！（结尾桑德海姆本人声演的电话留言那段，结合前不久他的离世，我哭唧唧，有种时空交织在一起的奇妙感觉

7/10。直接用传主本人的作品为题材拍摄传记片，情怀和致敬的成分点满。原声音乐不搭景和抓耳对于音乐片而言是很大的问题，但Jonathan Larson的故事以及加菲锦上添花的表演依然足够打动人心。（P.S.演示会上的reserved seat一段太容易跳戏到La La Land，原来过期糖还是挺好嗑）
其实整部电影都在讲，为什么是他，也只能是他写出Rent。
這部戲激不起我内心絲毫漣漪。。。可能是題材hit不到我吧。

一開始是吸引人的，即便是屢見不鮮的追夢故事，和對歌舞片形式的大膽創新，和《安妮特》走了一條不一樣的創新路線，再加上一首首好歌、一把把好嗓子，感覺是花了心思、誠意十足的。然而，越往下看，越讓人覺得形式大於內容，時不時跑偏一下，時不時又跑偏一下，就像是直白地告訴我，精力就沒花在重要的地方，所以，無論是追夢之路、情感關係、社會話題，都膚淺地撩一下就跑，充滿了急躁、匆忙的觀感。
每日记录/第一季还有不少岁月静好的段落，往后就是柱灭的开始了…
九柱第一次集合。
百老汇音乐剧这玩意应该是西方戏剧文化的衍变产物，看不懂，不过豆瓣分数一直都超高，大概有一些流行的附魅因素。
重新再出发！！！问火之呼吸为日后的日之呼吸做伏笔，太抓了哇！
致敬。
听完《Come to Your Senses》才更新了一首许久无新的电影歌单，够好听但诚不是首惊艳作品，只是看到创作者Jonathan Larson这行便足以回想起这部电影，这本就是我这歌单的初衷嘛。作品本身有个好故事引起了我们的情感共鸣，但可惜没是够棒的好电影呐。
