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!
上一秒在教堂门口接了对象回家，下一秒独自一人在家看u盘接到对象电话，再下一秒就是冲进去看见对象被按在地上挨打，然后自己就交出u盘再被注射新型毒品，然后再和电影开头和后面故事串联上，怎么就感觉这个剧情这么突兀呢？设定也是够突兀的，总感觉都是为了体现最后女主嘴里说出来的台词罢了。
变装历史的回顾和现代“艺术课”两段还蛮惊艳的，从舞美设计角度比《毕业舞会》强了不少，但是emmmm……好听的歌还是没有，蛮可惜。家庭和社区氛围对LGBT社群的友好程度影响真的很重要，没有这些支撑而走出来的“变装皇后”真得很厉害，不辱片中她们的“战士”之名。有机会想看下160分钟高达9.1分的舞台剧，看看完整的《人人都在讨论杰米》的真正模样。
前面极其精彩，最后反派突然降智，有枪不用，以至于十几个人被一人团灭。
网络不好，没有看完。前半段其实还好。中间的时候就觉得很操蛋。关键的信息总是被模糊掉。
【补标】去年初在加州试映的时候看的，当时片名保密，片方说试映一场major studio的musical，以为自己可以提前看到In The Heights，结果看的是这部。题材不是自己感兴趣的，编舞、场调和音乐也都没有太多惊喜。
挺好看的。题材设定有些意思。虽说看起来豆瓣评分并不高，我觉得已经很满意了，觉得遗憾的可能就是看剧情总归有些不尽如人意的地方: 男主身手还可以，但是不晓得为何在开始被害的第一时间里面仿佛有些弱，那时候真身的时候反而没有弄死几个。总之，有科幻元素，有对爱人的感情表达，觉得可以了。
脑洞大，从头到尾都是紧张节奏。反正一直到结束神经都是紧绷着的。
Well, I'm not a girl. Nobody's perfect.
整体节奏相当不错，一顿换脸，最后大爆发，顶级杀手的近距离狙杀
整体剧情很老套，灵魂脱离也很有新意。但是大部分剧情都用在追来逐去，再加上动作戏真的有点减分，剧情上有些敷衍的感觉。
男主长得像年轻的格林德沃，盘靓条顺花枝招展的，现在很少看到这么古早感的娇俏小gay了，但音乐电影最致命的问题就是，歌不好听👎
【2021-13】Amazon上看了一下，感觉真的是个变装皇后的童话故事了，包容一切无比爱孩子的妈妈，鼓励Jamie做自己的朋友，变装店上的mentor，还有最后被大家接纳的舞会。Jamie是极其幸运且被热烈爱着的啊。每次都说这种已经算LGBT的剧情已经算是常规路径了，还是被里面的温暖击溃了。后面准备去西区搞一下剧场版。
12小时一次的魂穿设定不错，这拍法也解决脸盲的障碍，一开始悬疑感蛮好的，动作戏飙车去啥的还行，但是那么快就和女主表明这操作也是绝，中间部分就乏了，bug太多了，乞丐大叔倒是蛮出彩的。其实故事就是黑帮的故事
附身刘代理单挑白上士那段比较精彩 结尾大战有些仓促敷衍 勉强三星

Surprisingly, it’s better than the staged version. It linked to the old days and made some sense out of his relationship with his father. So, well done.
灵魂换体的桥段类似一部老港片.除了片尾俱乐部枪战场面设计有点意思
歌舞版的《Freak Show》，非常精彩。有这样的母亲杰米连做梦都会笑醒吧。（为什么几乎所有同志电影里面的gay都有一个自私，冷漠，骄傲，自负，大男子主义的父亲？《CRAJY》如是，《Freak Show》如是，《被抹去的男孩》如是，《Jamie》亦如是。这种人所谓面子比儿子还要重要？这千篇一律的父亲是普遍行为还是导演设定？）
与众不同不意味着可以极端自私，杰米这种自我中心的个性不知道和母亲的保护有多少关系，但就算在这个年代，也不意味着别人会无条件的接受你。主配角都很工具人，哪个角色都很平面，以至于越看越无趣。
