这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
What can you do?
之前不知道是音乐剧改编，没有落入纯音乐套路就算挺成功的了。故事层次分明，有几处视角交替设计还挺巧的。Sunday那段找一堆名角大合唱有点太浮夸了
Great boring voices and really shitty music…..一分给声音、一分给真情，音乐是真的难听………
Happy Birthday Jon！（结尾桑德海姆本人声演的电话留言那段，结合前不久他的离世，我哭唧唧，有种时空交织在一起的奇妙感觉
林漫威的自我投射过剩。。唱段拍得挺动听的，但离动人有好远距离，有那么多情绪充沛的时刻却至于看完一遍后没有任何一段留下印象
因为与传奇伟大相去甚远
中规中矩传记片，靠加菲的演技和唱段撑起来，回头把rent找出来看一看
作为一部musical，music不好是原罪
我有很重要的事情没做，有谈话未完成，但我选择先把咖啡端上桌。
音乐满分 半传记形式满分
一部关于天才音乐剧剧作家的传记电影……30岁时也曾有这样的倒计时焦虑，30岁之后就平静了……希望每个人的倒数时刻都是新的开始而不是梦想追逐的结束
非常典型的美国电影，前半部分代入感不强，后半部分渐入佳境。乔恩的努力、挣扎、死亡、成功，都归于一个词，无常。最近读关于阿德勒的心理学，很有感触，你的课题只是把每一天过好，每一天的舞蹈跳好，照佛学讲的“无常”二字，眷恋过去，远眺未来，都是愚蠢。
安德鲁从《主流》片场醒酒后装满所有能量和精神完成了这部好戏及音乐剧。每一位角色都可爱有趣，每一个音符也都好听。遗憾不能在影院享受。
泳池五线谱我也大呼nb
作为音乐剧爱好者 我可太喜欢这部剧了I am allowing myself to be led by love 那种快乐的忧伤的 可以让人飞起来的感觉 享受和沉浸在所有感官里 这就是音乐剧带来的美妙❤️
形式大于内容，表达方式大于故事本身。中规中矩。
将歌舞成功嵌进了情节里，而不仅仅是停留在了简单的插入，人物情绪的展现更是非常丰满，充分把舞台的效果发挥出来，加菲的表演抓住了人物对梦想的坚持和对舞台的奉献，情绪的表达很到位，唱功也真的好。（8/10）
可以把餐厅服务员满腹的烦躁化为直抒胸臆的宣泄，可以创作富有前瞻性的音乐剧讽刺未来人的情感麻木，可以在一地鸡毛的现实里永不言弃地追逐梦想，这就叫大艺术家吧。
比较纯粹的歌舞片。
十足的艺术，已打动不了人心——我们在《库布里克谈库布里克》时就曾指出：二十世纪所有形式的艺术的某种失败就是对完全原创的痴迷。创作上的准确即艺术上的失误——呈现失误，艺术。呈现准确，套路。呈现套路，魔术。照「艺术家」木心的话说，舞蹈、体操、武术，呈显出来的肢体之美是有意的，劳动、工作、休憩中人体构成的美是无心的，特别美，富诗意——显然，音乐剧电影《倒数时刻》试图通过电影媒介呈现「音乐剧创作人」拉森激荡又短促的生命轨迹。事实上，他严重依赖舞台和言语创作的音乐剧是失败的，而最终胜利的是他一遍遍的行动。影片令人感动之处也是艺术家与艺术舞台上的缪斯分手、年轻人与生活里的伙伴告别这些极富诗意的无心、无奈之美，是一个人、一群人「Over and over and over」劳动、工作、休憩中人体构成的美。
