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.
▫️虽然剧情简单，但是品的出很有诚意！导演和整个剧组都把自己青春期的真实经历放进去了，永远觉得你不够优秀的父母，觉得流行音乐都是垃圾的父母，让你当众社死的父母，和好朋友们一起脚趾抠地的追星，在作业本上涂涂画画东掖西藏的秘密日记，伤心的时候抱住自己的狗狗玩具缩成一团大哭…这一切都穿梭到我再也不想回去的13岁…那个时候朋友们单纯的友情和鼓励，也让我挨过了漫长的来自于家庭否定的青春。
可能改变世界的最后还是女性吧，可能改变中国的还是女性吧
旧时的祝福却成为现时的诅咒，世界的守护却成为自我的惩罚。在竹林里牵起痛哭女孩的手，告诉她可以不用追求完美，取悦母亲，但她还是选择封印了红熊猫。你的野兽又脏又臭，怪异又与众不同。但它也可以让你飞檐走壁，带给别人快乐。你的自我本是上天的赐福，却被规训被压抑被教化，长成藏起尾巴的大人。
妈妈大闹演唱会时我就想这得赔不少钱吧，窒息的亲子关系和turning red对女性成长的隐喻，讨巧又讨喜。
【超喜欢小熊猫啊！和我一个学生很像。喜欢的看看职场小烈】这个短评是我在20年上映前写的，当时算热评吧。女人的青春期不能说算是很懂，但是作为少年教育材料是非常不错的。
可爱。很多年前，我也曾是红头发眼镜Meimei！
你别说这套还挺受用，算是比较好的传达东方理念。
难过极了！尤其是妈妈变身的哥斯拉版小熊猫出镜时，觉得wow多么熟悉的场面。【弹幕里下头男一直在纠结爸爸一定是入赘的，因为祠堂里拜的是女性，xswl】
《心灵奇旅》的成本是1.5亿，《智能大反攻》成本不到1亿，现在花1.75亿美元就做出个这？
可能改变世界的最后还是女性吧，可能改变中国的还是女性吧
所有家长都应该与平庸的自己和孩子和解，美美的朋友们太好了😭演唱会氛围太棒了，五个爱豆天塌了还能继续唱歌业务能力好强哈哈哈哈
包宝宝的大型升级，主题不新鲜了，故事倒是很可爱，青春期逆反和尊重传统之间的摇摆抓得很准，母亲形象过分夸张了。还cue了02年的病毒
中国式家长，很可怕
非常的浮浅，对人际关系尤其是亲密关系的描述表面而粗糙，脸谱化严重，这种剧本放在上个世纪80年代还有点新鲜，放在此时实在是泛善可陈，我能理解为什么放在网络上播，因为放到大荧幕上绝对票房惨淡。一个女性导演，竟然没有细腻的表达，全都是套路化的镜头与语法，可惜了，看了一半看不下去，有点浪费时间。顺便说一下，豆瓣评分水分越来越大，该处理一下了，就像大众点评的评分一样误导性很强，往往好菜馆要到4分以下去找，还不如凭直觉。
这种从设定、代入、价值观到思想性都如此不适的鬼东西竟然能有8.0，为了tm追星和她妈打成这样？中国母女关系什么时候是这样？和解nmb，什么78鬼东西
ABC自我认同感的阵痛，熟悉又无熟悉，认同又无认同。
PS：红墩墩是真可爱，老鼠家又可以卖一波周边了。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
和《包寶寶》一樣，石之予依舊說了一個兩代隔閡的故事，上一代再一次試圖吞噬下一代，不過這一次又進了一步，還有女性性啟蒙的隱晦表達，用魔法來表現五千年性壓抑是一場如何的災難。Whatever，求求迪士尼讓4★Town正式出道吧，是時候讓90年代流行曲風再次翻紅了
不负期待，满意收获！皮克斯的三维动画技术真是太出色了，毛绒绒的巨型红色小熊猫实在是太可爱了，萌到爆炸！作为有电影院情怀的影迷，从2012年《勇敢传说》至2021年《夏日友晴天》，除了国内没引进的2015年《恐龙当家》外，每部皮克斯动画电影长片都有去影院观影（或初看或重温或多刷），可惜如今又要多一部2022年《青春变形记》了。P.S.：英语原声版观看完毕，准备和小朋友们再看一遍台配国语版。
没想象中的那么好，但也可可爱爱，视听层面不上院线真的很可惜～
