Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.

I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

证人出场的部分真是看得牙痒痒，被告一方的辩护人、证人一直声称他从未有过暴力倾向，可证人中也不乏经历过与案件情节一样的遭遇，唯一的不同是当事人没有提出控告。Viol案件真的可以说是最难胜诉的案件了吧，从报案到最后庭审，受害人要一遍一遍回忆并且讲述被侵害的全过程，包括实质性的侵犯，也包括每一句言语羞辱。这些在案发当场就会给受害者留下心理创伤的细节要一遍一遍地告诉每一个认识和不认识的人，还要因为自己生平的每一丝丝言行举止做出合理完美的解释，否则就会得到被告律师不怀好意的一笑。全程受害人精神崩溃，以泪洗面。而那个真正被审判的人却可以保持傲慢，坚持声称被害人是自愿并且享受的。真的是太无力了！
太长了，支线情节太多了，看完之后竟然有点站男主，是先入为主的原因么🤔🤔🤔
不能说一无是处，但也差不多了……不仅没有救回糟糕的tv，还毁了泽塔本来完美的结局，唯一喜欢的也就邪特的皮套了，对今年的德凯表示担忧……
最让我惊喜的是徐峥使用的韦斯安德森的手法。我们从影视剧中接触到的上个世纪七八十年代几乎都是写实画风，粗糙的布料加上老气的配色，总给人一种灰扑扑的尘土气息。我并不认为不该这样，只是觉得应该用更多元的方式去重现历史。毕竟一切历史都是当代史，对过去的再现往往会融入当下美学理论，如今的欧美剧已经有了成熟的手法使得在拍摄任何时代时都能展现时代的美，像《权力的游戏》中粗粝的中世纪风格、《血战钢锯岭》、《1917》中油画般的二战年代。美是一种重要的东西，在潜移默化中改变人们的认知。当展现历史的技术更加成熟，人们可能会更加乐于接受历史
这也许也是2202年的真实人世间，女性在这个男权社会里从来都是弱势的，她们的发声值得被所有人听到，而不是一味的被各种强权主义忽视。人性从来都是复杂的，我们每个人都很难了解完全一个人的所有侧面，但人的内心始终该有一把道德标尺，去衡量自己的所有行为，使之符合社会的标准。我们都应该严于律己，宽以待人，对任何人多一分同理心和包容心，才能尽可能避免这样的悲剧。
的确比TV版强一些，早能料到剑悟醒来第一句会说斯麦路斯麦路
律师有句话太戳我了，“我唯一的目标，是让你们相信他在法律面前是无辜的，不是道德”。
影片拍得不错，虽然节奏偏慢，但是循序渐进，稳扎稳走，剧情和情感处理的都很细腻，细节方面也处理得不错，剧情也越来越吸引我，我是完全看进去了，越往后对影片的感觉越好，有点喜欢这片子了。单就亚历山大和米拉发生关系之前的剧情片段来说，我无法明确的判断出谁是坏人，有点灰色地带的感觉，双方都有责任，主要是因为亚历和米拉根本就不是一类人，亚历是社交+生活方式多样复杂的人，而米拉属于有点单纯+社交生活少的人，俩人的生活方式和想法差距大，所以那晚俩人因为一次爱爱产生了巨大的认知差距。在我看来亚历责任更大占60--70%；米拉责任小一点，占30--40%，她最大的问题是没有大声说出“不”！如果以法律条文和证据来说，我觉得亚历山大无罪！如果以最后亚历走出房间那部分剧情来说，亚历有罪！我给4星7.8分！
就像是三好学生交出的一篇命题作文，规规矩矩，该煽情的地方煽情，该搞笑的地方搞笑，仿佛套格式写作文一样。最喜欢的是王菲的如愿，我觉得这部电影配这首歌还差了一点。四个故事里面最出彩和惊喜的是徐峥那一part，其他就平平无奇
差评很多，没想到观感还可以，几个故事都还行，鸭先知拍得最完整，开心麻花几次在拼盘里表现都挺优秀。很强行煽情，每一部都有升华想哭的点，但就是强行设置的感觉。但话说回来，这种硬凑在毫无关联的投机取巧式拼盘真的别在拍了，单拿出来也不完整，放在一起又有点不伦不类。

抗日以骑兵团还算有代表性，上阵父子兵，吴京很适合这类型，建设者以火箭燃料从无到有披荆斩棘确实有很多无名英雄，第一支广告徐峥是驾轻就熟完成度最高，沈腾的少年行很沈腾，但不能代表未来。
徐峥和沈腾的都是喜剧篇章，徐峥拍的节奏好一些但是剧本一般，而且两个单元的任务感都太重了。徐峥的聪明之处就是他把任务压缩在最后10%，沈腾50%都有明显的任务痕迹。两个观感都不太好。
可以理解青春期的不羁和豪放，但不能原谅冲动魔鬼导致的身心伤害和违背道德。就好比说是“天堂超市酒吧”的一夜放纵，带来的却是社会公众的再次沦陷。
2022年6月18日观看。这个社会问题看来不光是中国有，而是全球性的。该去斗争的对象不是男权而是皇权。是阶级斗争而不该是性别对立。
而沈腾对“父辈”的诠释属于剑走偏锋，却独具匠心。
沈腾的那一节，水平明显和上面的三节不在一个档次上，我还以为看的是少儿节目，制作落后而且粗糙
永远怀疑。
男主潜意识里的认知 一切只是在阶层挑战里的游戏
一个事实两种感知，没有真相，或有机会主义强奸，只有红色警戒，么有灰色地带，no means no…silence does not means yes…沉默并非同意，拒绝就是拒绝；ask for yes before you going on….. one night stands or one night rape ? what if your daughter told you she was raped, what will you do? Kill him.
