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.
优雅一生的的东木献上了一部温柔的童话故事。
影片最后东木关于硬汉的解说也许是对自己的总结吧。
温馨公路片，但有点太平了，老头子这么大年龄了还在骑马（假的）就有点假，后面遇到酒馆老板娘一家人那里很温馨。
沒想像中的差，但總還是希望東木爺繼續拍下去，就算只是這種簡單的小品也行...
这是一个真善美的儿童片吧？片头的pure American country music 倒是不错啊。
我在梦中曾身处一个沙漠酒吧，现在我竟真的在。但没想到的是，这个荒凉的沙漠小镇，让人重回旧时的牛仔时光，驯马，烹饪，帮村民治疗他们的小动物，和可爱的小女孩开心的比划手语，看着拉菲尔情窦初开，和相互喜欢的人共舞一曲。当那首Sabor a Mi想起的时候，我真的和那孩子想的一样，留在这个小镇，永远不要离开。
情感上无比敬佩，理性上百感交集；那个深邃、坚毅、沉稳、笃信的老牛仔，多么不愿意看他老去，无论是精神上还是形体上，但是在这部英雄迟暮的电影里，所有的担心都跃然眼前，竭尽全力难掩衰枯。老爷子的眼神开始空洞无神，行走双膀后甩，心有余而力不足的感觉惹人生怜。其实，我们不能把它看成是一部戏，这是东木叔在告诉我们，一个91岁为电影而生的老人，正在刻不容缓的为自己灵魂的钟爱做着什么……
It is old-fashioned but surprisingly timely, and its clean, spare style feels classical because it’s fluent and clear-minded. Eastwood seems to be one of the few remaining filmmakers committed to conscientious storytelling.
哭泣的男人，东木老爷子宝刀未老，西部，荒野，亲情与爱情，温情脉脉。
人生就像东木和小男孩在墨西哥边境小镇度过的那段美丽时光总是太短暂了。
一直帅，希望这么优秀的电影人能长命百岁，不期而遇的美好！
Chicken is macho(strong)
温情有余，就是没什么劲，毕竟这是个现代片，可能更像他本人的侧写了。结尾还是要来一下，小男孩说他会去，也是考虑到要给老头一个好的归宿。不然的话怎么办？美国的关口肯定是被爸爸堵住的，所以留在墨西哥逃亡吗？这点strong和grit才是男孩应拥有的，所以macho送给了老头，是从前那个男人的纪念。
东木老爷子的这部，节奏和剧情发展上都有些随意有些散，想那拍那。多少有点让我想起他自己早些年那部凯文科斯特纳的《完美的世界》。不过，都这岁数了还能要求他什么呢，开心就好。拍一部少一部了。
且看且珍惜吧，91岁的老人，还在诉说牛仔精神的真髓，就不再挑剔尚能饭否了。看《完美的世界》的时候，我一直在想东木自己出演会是啥样，心满意足了。
67/100。相较于《骡子》《理查德·朱维尔的哀歌》这两部还带有一定指向性的前作来说，克林特·伊斯特伍德在本片中则完全褪掉了对社会现象的自我认知，而转成了一个耄耋之年的老人与生活达成的某种自我和解。很多可能在他年轻时的电影中变得“刺激”“惊险”的桥段被磨平了所有棱角，只剩下一种淡淡的温柔思索，让人窥见了暮年英雄心中最静谧的一面。当然这样的处理方法一方面让人舒心，另一方面还是让全片显得有些不伦不类，让那些矛盾点变得来也匆匆、去也匆匆，只能远观，不能细看。 @2021-10-05 23:43:00
怎么变成糖水片了，故事编得也太敷衍。难道老了之后就会变成这样吗，返璞归真一片祥和，电影内外的情节发展构成互文了。
童话版自传体电影
一些瑕疵在91岁的老爷子面前都不算什么了。
东木大爷的电影得抓紧看，说不定就是遗作，他今年来拍的老人题材也是往这个方向去的，这部也是，但确实有些力不从心了。借着老人和小孩的戏剧冲突，东木也在讲述自己的人生哲学，牛仔，人终于要和自己和解的。
