You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!

英雄们还在，正如构建正义联盟背后的正义，他可能会迟到，但是永远不会缺席，我想我们也一样。
总结：中评
早上起来用个黄金上午把这片看完也是对得起我对这个导演剪辑版期待的时光。但看完也不忍心给差评，所以给出总结

也许是预期过高，看完略有落空…. 似乎好与坏都是一体两面，一方面感到对于这样的题材，在有限预算下，创作者很天才地找到了最适合的形式，蛮喜欢年幼的邱福酒后飞天，扇子遮镜两段；但另一面似乎形式的外力过强，遮蔽了真正的情感入口，后半段信息给的平铺直叙，有种只是在陈述一段过往的隔绝感。此外一切新鲜的设计果然都会在三小时时长里泄力与疲乏起来…….
画面，音乐，氛围，真的都挺不错的。但超人线感觉就是胡搅蛮缠，一来他的光环太大，死了很久救了半天，活过来先捣乱，文戏拖沓，只要一出现就各种打乱节奏，最后武功又太好导致反派忽然弱鸡，倒是闪电侠和半机器人（叫啥？）都蛮动人的。
好家伙给我看困了，噱头比真实意义大，为什么四个小时因为有两个小时是慢镜头拉长的
平心而论，个人觉得影片整体的质量和扎导的《守望者》相比还是稍逊一筹的，目前的9分偏高了。但……老子就是看得贼TM爽，老子就是要打五星，管他呢！:-D
比当年版本多一星。《手表群侠》的历史地位无法超越。
这美术功底、布景和创意制作，真的是一绝！真是好看啊！还是第一次看着英文字幕，听的却是地道的四川话看一部戏剧式的电影。只叹戏如人世，人世所发生的都在台上了。洪流般时代下的个体，为了忘记，得喝着孟婆汤上路，为了喂襁褓孩子奶，去偷粪找蛆磨成粉.......一切皆为过往，希望却如同坟墓。（好喜欢那个店小二和那只鹅。
不能说超越，只能说吊打
从视听的角度除了拍手叫好没法评论。最吸引我的是第一次看到一部中国近代史的电影并不聚焦于创伤，也不把对创伤的弥补最为叙事的核心，而是用幽默的语言和视觉符号来讲述。和陈凯歌的《霸王别姬》不同，《椒》对历史事件和个人经历的情感表述有意地避免了抒情，避免了把简单直白的情感给无限放大的这种手法。从这个角度来说这部电影创造出了另一种语言，给予了我们对同样历史完全不一样的体验。
这部的观感真是不错！之前那版我已经不太记得了，就是记得故事很莫名其妙。扎导剪辑的感觉很清楚啊。整体很OK。人物动机也让人可以理解，风格也是统一的。
如果当年上的是这个版本，是不是没复联什么事了？
中国特色超现实主义 历史的大幕落下 一个个人生 一个个政党 一个个时代 循环往复 周而复始（今天Anthology空调坏了 所有人都拿着宣传册扇着风看 颇有回到小时候看露天剧院的感觉 很奇妙）
@Anthology Film Archives 一代人有一代人的伤痕，the play goes on
蒙尘的都市竖立着牺牲的丰碑，蛮荒的原野回荡着泣血的悲歌，升格的画面挥洒着惊骇的酒神力量，求索的日神信仰被揉进油画的玄黄。破冰的行者击不碎心头的魔障，离群的战士寄不回哀思的长箭，孤独的凡人分不清天谴与神迹，流落的王子寻不到加冕的意义。一介凡人，为父便担起赋予生命与救赎灵魂的重量。救世新神，重生即再踏漫长孤独的苦旅。驰电而行，在过去与未来的撞击中迎来自己的璀璨；直面梦魇，在疼痛和悔恨之间重塑无尽的光荣。
无论谁的一生拉长看都是悲剧，在这片土地上就更显荒诞了。文本上没太多意外的地方，倒是形式与风格令人惊喜，依赖视觉美学、剧场感和人物表演形成的间离体系。
