剧情介绍

  Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
  If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
  [Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
  To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
  More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

  In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
  (Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
  I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

  • 家娇洁 3小时前 :

    第一季最高潮的地方,这也为后来埋下了很多伏笔,弥豆子可以用血鬼术了,在这篇是最好的体现,火之神神乐那点真酷。

    为了风间是吗?

  • 战兴业 5小时前 :

    又是总集编。这一段是TV的精华了,战斗扣人心弦,反派的强大和偏执令人印象深刻。对BOSS战艰难程度的刻划,其实隐藏着之后将面对的十二鬼月战力的预估——一个下弦五对主角而言就强成这样——因此令人更加期待后续剧情。

    毕竟过了看这类影片的最佳观影年龄,始终有种跳戏脱戏的感觉,哈哈

  • 南门曼雁 9小时前 :

    相比绿皮书和无依之地我更喜欢它。如果每碗鸡汤都能这么鲜美这么回味无穷的话我可以天天喝。后半段属实哭的有点惨。毕业晚会上带入家人的无声片段,爸爸在晚上抚着女儿唱歌的喉咙欣赏根本听不到的音乐,哥哥内疚于一切都要靠妹妹,老师的无私帮助。即使生活不易,也要拼尽全力。我说了,每碗鸡汤如果能都这么好喝,我可以天天喝。(感觉翻拍得奖的多少也要给原版一些荣誉吧?)

    😭看着看着就会看哭,也不知道在感动什么~我觉得蜡笔小新的剧场版比《博人传》都燃哈哈。每一年的剧场版几乎都会让我流眼泪,20多年了,这是群什么样的人们在做的动漫呐…明明很幼稚,可是小新这个形象就是能给人鼓励和治愈。向前奔跑吧!

  • 年沛槐 7小时前 :

    三星半。情节紧凑,能塞的都塞了。幸好最后干掉反派的不是男主,不然就落入主角光环加无敌小强的俗套了。男主最后对斩杀鬼的言论也很合情合理,悲天悯人又不圣父。反派也塑造得有血有肉。赞!

  • 仙静柏 3小时前 :

    反精英,反内卷,让孩子自由而健康的成长,这次活泼可爱而又略带咸湿的小新又做到了。第一次带妹妹看小新,她笑得好开心,因为小新会跳屁屁舞啊[呲牙]

    “青春 到底是什么?青春是铁面具,青春是恋爱,青春是闪闪发光,青春是自卑感,青春是后悔,青春是人情世故,青春是孤独,青春是好耶好耶,青春是曾经拥有,青春是此时此刻,青春是,青春是FIRE!青春是谜团重重——”

    应该是在正剧里看过了呀,善逸空中背景是月亮那里有印象的。7/10

  • 戈孟君 5小时前 :

    8分,青春的主题下有着对阶级的思考,而且作为一部子供向动画,却没什么说教感。

  • 振锋 7小时前 :

    又是合集...不过这个篇章的质量确实高的过分

  • 令狐代芹 0小时前 :

  • 丛鹏云 8小时前 :

    第一季合集(15-21) 有最燃的19话-火神

  • 化清婉 5小时前 :

    从剧情到人物,都非常卡通,感觉做一下动捕建模,直接就是一部皮克斯动画。后面三场唱歌戏处理得当,非常加分。整体还是过于流媒体审美,事到如今,学院大佬们也不讲门第了,吃饭要紧。还可以想象一下,这个动机要交给达内或肯洛奇拍,会是怎样的走向。

  • 丙欣畅 3小时前 :

    3.富冈义勇杀十二鬼月犹如砍瓜切菜!

  • 敖乐安 7小时前 :

    挺带感的,全篇都是在有月光的晚上。三个小伙进入那田山,与里面的鬼蜘蛛决定。还是挺热血的。
