A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.
What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
电影的调调很喜欢，在传记片基本都在讲辉煌的潮流下，一部讲辉煌前心酸奋进的故事更让我上头。拉森对艺术的执着追求为寻找灵感而痛苦焦虑辗转反侧，像极了每个曾经有梦想的人，但不是所有人都像拉森那样执着，拉森为了艺术背叛了所有真实而具体的人，失去了爱人，和朋友争吵。我不知为何一时觉得我和拉森很像，但我却又不如他那般强大。很喜欢这部电影的调调，尽管林曼曼双线叙事有时挺乱的，但情感是真挚的，我的心也是滚烫的。
《斯通纳》中的melody——爱、认同、怜悯、志业、傲骨、信任与死亡——在剧中流淌。好听好看又好玩😄
后疫情时代宽街的一种新尝试！林巨巨YYDS！加菲意外的惊喜！

年度观影：No 465
音乐剧改成电影，又在电影里演音乐剧，然后穿插着一些生活片段，实在是没什么感觉。
泳池五线谱我也大呼nb
贯穿全片的悬念是片中不断穿插着充斥主角内心独白的演出，究竟是一场未来实际的公演，还是主角临终前的dejavu。倒头来还是不禁回头感慨《爵士春秋》的伟大。另外加菲赶ddl焦头烂额的样子我本人了
一直在等seasons of love, 原来是最难的故事啊。看到桑爷好难过。
30岁时最好也最让人绝望的一句话就是：你很棒，继续加油。加菲的造型太像大山了
No.3 有人活得像夜晚的星，不需要天天为人指路，却能长久安慰失意的路人。
《Come To Your Senses》好聽！
音乐剧改成电影，又在电影里演音乐剧，然后穿插着一些生活片段，实在是没什么感觉。
恰逢故事中的年龄段，社会时钟一直滴答滴，一直在抗争着摆脱焦虑跟着自己的节奏走。电影很工整，音乐很流行，加菲进步了。
好厉害啊，跨界做电影导演也做的这么好，果然优秀的人做什么都很优秀
1、叙事节奏很奇怪，始终不能进入故事氛围，无处不在的割裂感无法聚焦成清晰的主线；2、唯一值得称道的是中间有首抒情的歌蛮好听的，其他都感觉平平。
歌舞片，没什么亮点，创作者就是不停的写写到能被看中为止，然后继续写
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。
乔纳森真是英年早逝，他的困境是时间，他的好朋友都在最好的年华相继去世，谁也不想在30岁还一事无成吧。可惜好歌不多，我最喜欢的一首是和朋友一起清唱的《波西米亚》。
this is the real life太难了，但坚持所爱本身就是意义
