A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.
这个时代下，孩子成熟坚强得像个大人，大人们脆弱崩溃得像个孩子，孩子们对未来的世界充满了悲观与不确定，但仿佛已经做好了心理建设，大人们回首过去的种种痛苦，只会哑然一笑，明白这也是孩子们的必经之路。刻意的选择了美国东西南北四座代表性的城市后，最终我们还是一起在大自然中肆意放声呐喊。be funny, comma, when you can, period. （还有，很久不见非常非常赞的黑白摄影。）
一个“假想父亲”带娃的历程，剧情很少，对话很多。如此纯粹，如此温暖，如此赤诚。
No more thoughts tonight, only stars in the sky.
在后期转制黑白，演员选了华金的情况下，却拍出了可能是颁奖季最温柔的一部电影。最大的优点当然是形式上的，纪录片式的采访贯穿始终，主要人物的表达也经常是站在受访者的视角。在主题上则有点保守，还是孩子和中年人互相取暖疗伤那套东西。不过在对原生家庭、亲子关系探讨越发极端的今天，这样菊次郎式的处理反而是一种另类了。
看似平淡但却无比真挚的叔侄感情，黑白色调选的太好了，纪录片导演受到姐姐的委托照顾自己的儿子，叔侄在相处中不断破冰，叔叔告诉了侄子他和孩子姐姐关系看似不好的原因，以及孩子父亲的挣扎，最令人动容的时刻莫过于小孩要被送回家向叔叔道歉，和母亲来接他的不舍。影片还引入了许多问题，而儿童的回答却很有深度，令人深思儿童的视角，太喜欢小男主了。
这么平淡的一部电影，没刻意煽情却给我整落泪了。大人与孩子都在试着教会对方生活，大人不一定时刻聪明，小孩也不一定永远愚笨。
影像很舒服。人物状态很惬意。故事很松散。不是我的菜。所以对不起。
原来也有滋儿哇乱叫的可恨儿童牙刷，有声周记分外美丽
just bc someone isnt like u, doesnt mean that they are wrong.
断断续续看了一天才看完，真是太折磨了。
学会表达、学会理解自己的情绪、学会与所有的不确定和解，应该是人这一生都要为之努力的事吧，不管是孩子还是成年人。电影中穿插了很多儿童访谈，以孩子的视角去理解未来、理解生命、理解生活中遇见的种种艰辛，也是给成年人的一剂治疗。以及，养育小孩很难，但小孩也能带来新的能量。以及在家里的投影上看这部黑白电影，质地真好啊，靠在c先生身边，他身上的味道总能给我安全感，像电影里给到的安全感。
叔侄情，兄妹情，夫妻情，母子情。
摄影和会画面格外舒服，也许不会有太强的故事情节或者戏剧性，但对比一下看看站在城市外来看城市还是蛮有意思
两星半。很温柔的电影，我喜欢里面的摄影空镜构图，很生活化，很活在当下。因为黑白画面又有复古感。我对华金真的没太大感觉，我爱他哥哥。但太文艺了，太啰嗦了，这大段大段的对白又长又多又矫情，每一个字我都懒得看。还有养小孩可真他妈烦人。
以儿童为中心的具体生活，它向我们展开的过程中揭示了属于真实世界的根本命题，死亡、离别、爱。同时夹带着对几个城市的凝视、对人类未来的信仰。非常喜欢。
哎，差点没哭瞎了，赤诚的情感流动，in terms of emotional life we all need to be repartented 也想做一个这样的妈妈
虽然没有旁白，但片中读的那些书、做的那些访谈、录的那些环境音（所谓“使不朽”）、日记性质的自述、平添忧郁的黑白画面，都让人想起泰伦斯·马利克式的（故作）深沉。片中所有受访者都是真实出镜即兴发挥（包括一个后来被枪杀的叫布莱恩特的黑人小男孩），这倒挺适合方法派的华金·菲尼克斯。不知道这种亦幻亦真的骚操作是不是受了去年《无依之地》的启发。
叔侄二人的日常交流和对青少年的采访都是观人观己的过程，成人和孩童其实并没有那么界限分明，这是个蛮有趣的角度。又用到了Éthiopiques 21: Piano Solo里的曲子，上一次好像是《波尔图》，平添一丝温柔趣味。
舒服的基调 简单的剧情 全程观感跟随着穿插其中的德彪西月光平静的流淌 大人也曾经是孩子 喜欢
Jesse说要C'mon C'mon的时候，眼泪哗一下子的就流下来了
