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.
几何带来视觉上的分割感和冲突矛盾感，在动车上看的，即使噪音很大，前半段麦克白与夫人的联手行刺还是把我看得心惊肉跳，偏向于动作呈现，后半段相较就少了推动力，之前犯下的罪恶使得后面的悲剧发生水到渠成。惯性与命运。怕啥来啥。
再次叹服他们每一版麦克白都好绝活！
从两部黑白4:3看到两部彩色2.35:1，又回到黑白4:3，给人一种时光倒流的感觉。可能是因为库泽尔那版已经把现代感做到极致了，科恩要是再拍肯定躲不出波兰斯基跟库泽尔的影子，只好另辟蹊径，复古。很长一段我是对着剧本看的，果然跟我的直观感受是一致的，这一部在台词上与原著契合度惊人的高，原著台词保有量在五版中排到第一位。但即使如此，改编还是不少，例如麦克德夫是剖腹而生竟然索性直接不说了，还有洛斯怎么存在感这么高。科恩版跟最早的奥胖版是最有共同之处的，他们俩在写导演阐述的时候，总体处理原则肯定都是“表现”，尤其表现在布景上。不过当然，科恩版的现代建筑比奥胖版的原始山洞看起来要舒服太多了。这版我觉得最大的问题就是不温不火，你一眼就能看出从各个方面来说这必然是一部精致的作品，但就是让人兴奋不起来。
卡司没有惊喜，出彩的是舞台化的场景和光影配合
O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife. Thou knowest that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives. And in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared. 'Tis much he dares. And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, he hath the wisdom to guide his valor to act in safety. There's none but he whose being I do fear.
麦克白和其夫人看起来极其mentally healthy，半点鬼胎也不怀，整部电影看完怕是能得出黑人因为种族歧视才当不上国王的结论
全程出戏，实在不知这样一出“舞台剧电影”从何欣赏，镜头切得像电视剧，麦克白的演技撑不起角色，伪安藤忠雄式的建筑光影处理完全脱离电影本身独立存在。肉眼可见片子砸了很多钱，但成片确实不敢恭维，如同橱窗里摆着的一个穿着精致的假人模特。看NT LIVE和BBC迷你剧不好吗，人家玩儿莎士比亚可比这个超前和靠谱太多了。
影像风格拉满，舞台感极强，棚摄感很强，建筑颇有表现主义和极简风的糅合。可以看出很努力想打造一个全新的视觉效果来当新酒瓶，来装这个故事。但故事性确实很弱，麦克白的改变不流畅，有一种被导演控制的感觉，但依旧因为摄影想打高分。
很多独白的台词能接受的话便会发现如诗一般美
麦克白其实就是一则寓言故事 跟我们解释了什么是self fulfilling prophecy 算是忠实原著了
1:1，纯黑白，影帝影后，莎士比亚…比起电影更像是一场两小时的舞台剧，只不过呈现方式是大导演的视角…
好无趣呀科恩为什么要拍麦克白？在剧情无创造的情况下，比角色更出戏的真的是口音。布景、运镜和表演都在全力为舞台剧感让位，电影感极弱。对麦克白夫人的塑造非常失望，居然全靠发型衬托心境。
黑白有质感是谁说的，完全没有一点儿依据。如果真的黑白有质感，为何屏幕厂商不真的把屏幕调成黑白的，反而越来越追求色彩还原？在当今能拍出令人惊艳彩色 效果反而执着于使用黑白电影是一种浪费和倒退。剧情很狗血，像看魔幻剧
剧作非常舞台化，影像风格突出，演技都在线。给一星完全是因为一千年前的苏格兰国王不可能是黑人。
文学的电影或是电影的文学跟“莎士比亚”一搭边，很难回避阐释的文学面向，比如最后麦克白跟麦克达夫终极之战，“I have no words, my voice is in my sword”，所有角色从来不会正面回复，大家不会直言“弑君、篡位、复仇或者一场血腥的围攻”，而是先打个比方将暴虐的行动修饰一番，再将动机或形势的预判都藏在女巫的预言中，总之，作为作者的莎士比亚很机智地摆脱了文学可能会给自己带来的意识形态麻烦。得到王位或者失去王位都是“君权神授”，Birnam山的移动暗指麦克白王权最后的倾圮，而女巫是预言家并促成了预言的兑现，显得“神的有意安排不可违抗”，而臣民不得不听从天命，最终，女巫这一角色成为服务于王权的道具，有必要时会成为政治斗争的替罪羊。文学可以转译一个时代不便于言说的部分。
B/74｜刺杀国王、献祭预言、皇后发疯几场戏惊艳绝伦，音效和视觉效果结合相宜，强对比的打光和几何简约式的布景仿佛上世纪初德国表现主义的复兴。各位戏骨贡献了完美的表演，除了“达力”实在让我有点出戏。但是有一说一，这种布景带来的劣势和优势同样明显，空间受限带来的是画幅景别的重复使用，视觉造就的力量在半个小时后之后就消失殆尽，最想看的类似《蜘蛛巢城》里的移动森林则直接用纷飞的落叶一笔带过。A24尽整这些花活儿，多了也就不新鲜了。#LondonCurzonSoho#

除了布景，该版本麦克白在女巫的两个“文字游戏”被揭开之后并未呈现出丝毫动摇，而是一条道走到黑似的面对任何结局。这已经是不小的改动了。
对于the original text和plot的绝对熟悉是本片最基础的观影门槛了, 而Macbeth作为（可能是）我最喜欢的Shakespeare作品，看到Denzel Washington和Fran McDormand飙戏就忍不住要打四星以上。选择黑白的影像呈现，Joel Coen这次在mise-en-scene上下足了功夫，无论是建筑环境还是光影变化，都透露出一种冷峻却疯狂的气质。除了很喜欢影片对于the witches的处理外，McDormand对于Lady Macbeth的处理确实让人有耳目一新的感觉，野心并不是那么的外放，狠辣却不减分毫，最后的sleep walking scene更是一种后窗式的解构，让人对她的表演欲罢不能。
3.5/5，极简的摄影和场景设计，感觉整体更适合舞台表达，个人不是很喜欢此类风格。
