Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
老姐姐救人救得心都累了，自己活得都费劲，还要去救别人。不管咋样这辈子来都来了，看看还有什么幺蛾子再说。
为了反转而反转的技巧真的让人恶心，就像看了一部不带剧情的A片一样。不过好在最后的情感的出口还算正常，没有为情节去扭曲闺蜜情。网飞的前身大概就是腾讯的现在，用分母去浪投找分子，祝你成功！
就看到一半才发现是Queen B。剧情蛮简单的，最后坏人的下场让人地铁老人看手机。
feel warm in the darkness
四星全部给queen B ，她是我的白月光估计就是这辈子不会变的事实了，看到她事业发展成这样真的很唏嘘，我总是觉得她值得更好的，又觉得她应该永远停留在我的记忆里，但是就像这样时不时的出现在各种文艺片和惊悚片里也挺好的，现实中她也结婚生了宝宝，真的希望她可以幸福快乐。这部电影我觉得还挺好看的，烂片肯定算不上，看完有种想让人出去旅行的冲动，在房间里睡到傍晚然后出门在一个陌生的地方找东西吃的感觉一定很不错吧。
就很弱，逻辑啊剧情啊气氛啊都很弱。实在是有点勉强啊。
爬过白山 当时做了很多功课就怕早上短袖短裤上山下午暴风雪 对自然的敬畏加个人的救赎让这个故事还算饱满
太过平庸，也可能是因为太过小众，
中规中矩，就是女主一直乳摇几个意思？考验我定力是吧
为什么分这么低，看16分钟剪辑版感觉挺好的啊
无脑的轻松愉快家庭电影，喜剧效果一般，更注重家庭问题。
She was a slut. That's what men call women who won't sleep with them!
就非常一般……狗血……老套……也不怎么意外的剧情……
不依典型設定的奇案故事，原作小說可能有一定的可讀性，尤其是心理描寫，但經N記影像化下變了平台「最典型」的「90分鐘類型片」，實在眼高手低。
一个带着伤痛和遗憾女人，绝境拯救另外一个面临绝望的生命的故事。没有太多的特效镜头，女主基本上是唯一的看头，情节比较简单平淡，把女性的坚强融化在平淡之中，可能也是一种讲述故事的方式。
老爷子为了三个孩子独立长大真的是操劳了一辈子
想要坚持每天一部电影，可以先从法语电影开始了解法国人的笑话
電影是短小緊湊的
这部电影总体来说都还好，就是时间太短了，不太够看。
警察不查监控不查手机就离谱啊，前面的烟雾弹够多，闺蜜 司机 房东 前夫等等 后面节奏开始崩坏 没啥反转的惊喜
