Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels.
The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated.
If you miss it you will have to repent!
美国梦主旋律电影。以歌舞类型来呈现，叙事支零破碎，大幅消解了主人公原型本身浓厚的悲剧色彩。加菲与原型相比只有形似，表演出了年轻人的激情，却没什么艺术家气质。但此类悲剧艺术家的传记片，总是会博得颁奖季的青睐，啧啧啧。
天才拍天才了救命
轻易就能妥协
昨天喝醉了，迷蒙中我写下了这么一句话——“我还能有艺术的感知力吗？我不想丢失，我想痛哭，我想为它而死去”，看完这部电影之后我想我大概不会丢失。艺术是黯淡的星光，艺术是爆裂的花火，艺术也许是唯一的一条捷径，让你离真实的自己越来越近。
故事，歌曲，表演都不錯，但舞台音樂劇與電影的那種違和感從頭持續到尾
原剧完成度算不上高，所以之前觉得电影改编的唯一出路是传记化，果然如此，但这就成了一个套娃：在剧里写Superbia，在电影里写/演TTB，LMM把后面两层拍扁了些但是又必须留着，甚至还借用了最早的独幕剧模式，不知道普通观众观感如何，也许依然会觉得乱？但这片子太深情了，一直哭一直哭，没法用普通观众视角对待。桑爷-Larson-LMM的传承，浸满对剧场的爱。改编是同人写法，尽力把观众想要的东西都找地方安放。非常喜欢LMM把Larson删掉的Boho days拿回来，一秒还魂Rent，绿绿裙的处理也非常合理，最后片尾还贴心地还回来。Sunday生怕普通观众看不明白给了一段前序交待，把Susan和Dot写成了对照的情感线，BP女神出现的时候真是哇哇哭。桑爷亲自的录音也感人非凡。lots of lov
安德鲁从《主流》片场醒酒后装满所有能量和精神完成了这部好戏及音乐剧。每一位角色都可爱有趣，每一个音符也都好听。遗憾不能在影院享受。
当你拥有一切时，一切都会主动来找你；当你一无所有时，整个世界都在阻拦你~
才华的绽放在死亡之时最渺小，却在之后盛开。
终于看到一部94届奥斯卡不垮的了。凡妮莎·哈金斯唱的一首歌还是不错的。
Unpacking a box inside a box of another box
给纽约theatre and theatre junkies的一封情书。central park delacorte theatre, ny theatre workshop，playwrights horizons...全都是戏剧生活里忘不掉的回忆。正值Sondheim老爷子忌日，theatre legends们出来唱Sunday一段，看得直掉眼泪-对我来说，全剧唯一精华。之前workshop出现的作曲家和作家，也都是真实的theatre创作者们。对Jon本人的剧没什么感觉（音乐实在不感冒），这一部TTB也稍显幼稚粗浅。可是贵在真情。Andrew演的Angels in America可作为90年代AIDS事件的补充拓展，那剧是真有深度和灵魂。。
蛮有意思，用了音乐剧，电影，MV穿插形式，让我觉得很有新意。那个sunday的片段很有意思，“一群傻子应该在周日上午在家里，非要在这个铝合金材质的餐厅里花钱喝冷的合成果汁和微波炉贝果”，笑4
不跟《爱乐之城》比较就还可，一旦比较就立刻千疮百孔。音乐、调度、编舞（如果有）和剧作人物一样既没有整体感也没有层次感，文本本没有足够丰富的情绪，却要塞入大量的唱段和内心戏，只会显得絮烦甚至有点傻。唯一真正让我喜欢的点是刻画创作焦虑的感觉是对的，但作为内卷时代的“后浪”看他们的焦虑真的难以抑制的有种嫌弃感。大概这位新导演以为引入同性、有色裔再来谈梦想就是跟上了时代，呵呵这不叫创作，这叫他妈的投机取巧！Shame on you！！！
作为歌舞片，本片是绝对“好听”的，好听到爆的那种！
歌舞片段的出现都极为自然，但感觉还是差一两首波西米亚生活那样的爆炸单曲。Sunday虽好，但无论离City of Star还是La Vie Boheme都有挺大一段距离。
What can you do?
歌舞片不会死。
本片的片名来自他的另一部同名音乐剧，虽然我不太爱看音乐舞蹈片，但这部电影里的表演和歌曲还是挺有感染力的，因为他的歌曲内容大部分来自他自己的生活，所以他的成功因此而改变了音乐剧的定义。
俗人果然还是不适合看歌舞片 倒是希望二代小蜘蛛能拿个奖什么的
