Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
太扯了……味太冲了……印度这是被好莱坞+CIA渗透了吧
最近平顶山刘玉琨事件。。。痛心
“尊重一个人的才能取决于他们使用它的目的。”
应该是参考了不少韩国电影,但是这串场的歌曲实在是太烦人了。
印度再任由这些毫无社会责任心爱国主义精神的电影人将印度社会片面的黑暗面放大展露给国际上以图讨好西方社会拿奖,那他们的国际地位、经济发展、GDP是好不了了滑稽。。还有就是感觉印度教是真的牛逼,就这样绝大多数低种姓非人的地狱生活还能忍耐到那个程度。。
好人,坏人和法官都过于符号化,但至少这样的题材人家敢拍
有点太神话男主了 但是基于真实故事还是挺有意义的
种姓制度、低等部落,当一个群体被制度化的排斥于社会之外的时候,没有任何司法能解救。
为弱者求正义加分了,有个迷思?为啥印度、韩国这种社会现实电影拍得很煽情、动容,但事实却进步很慢,相比于中国,是我们更看重实干而忽视了拍电影的叙事技巧吗?
无论什么制度,最终都要靠人的良心和说真话。
又哭了。1.5倍速加快进差不多。一度惨得看不下去。给五星真的不是因为政治正确。
什么时候公正法治不再是需要一个英雄的幸运概率事件
钱德勒律师的行为是高尚的。但是作为一部影片,过于超级英雄的描绘,又回到了印度电影最喜欢也是最擅长的造神模式。不是说这种包装不好,只是深知“本来就没有什么救世主”之后,总感觉略有不妥。外加核心案件中,三坏警的失误过于低级,使得整个抗击过程都仿佛撞了大运一样,很难看到这个烂透的体系。
司法独立,警政腐败,选举政治和种姓制度,将这么多敏感话题融合在一部电影里,又能详略得当的都照顾到,印度电影水平真令人佩服。
没有歌舞也可以做成商业片,配乐太格格不入了
3.5,印度总能拍出这样的电影,真实改编也更具有说服力,想起了我们过往中的一些冤案,不知道能不能拍出来。不过我现在不太吃印度这种类型片的风格~
只说那些配角。这大概是我看过的印度电影里,肤色最黑,样貌最丑,形态最底层的一群演员了,很怀疑他们就是本色演出。许多表情,眼神,肢体形态,职业演员也模仿不出来,猜测是低种姓的群众演员。而印度职业演员有种说不出的拿腔作势,尤其是主角,一看就是高种姓的,骨子里那种无法掩饰的骄傲与“正义感”。
最终小鱼干倒了大鳄。
就一句话!不是拍得有多好,是真的敢拍,真的能拍。题材取胜了,其他不聊了。
一个国家能拍出这种含有深刻自省的电影真的很值得赞赏,每每看到这样的电影就会想到《熔炉》里的那段台词“我们一路奋战,不是为了改变世界,而是为了不让世界改变我们”。
