Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
天呐Jenn Colella的机长太帅了!
题材本身为音乐剧加成不少,耐听度我觉得一般般
挺感动的。在现有体量和形式下做得够好了…(音乐剧本身就很难把内容做得特别深)这个戏本身也像911事件中的甘德一样提供了近乎乌托邦式的美好、友善、温暖。对于戏剧应该如何改编真实事件,和当下产生互动还蛮有启发的。
不论你信奉的是哪个神,不论你的人种国籍与性向,在这个不锁门的小岛上,我们都脱下外表的装饰,回归为相互照拂的人类,回归成关心其他生物的一个普通物种。
love and patience heal everything
管制中心那段太真实了,航空用语非常标准
表白机长《Me and the Sky 》太好听
这是一部融合太多情感的剧,剧中有911大背景下每个人的焦灼与痛心,更有人与人之间相互依存取暖的温馨与感动。或许人与人之间的相互信任同协互助才是对恐怖主义最好的打击吧。
可惜因为疫情错过了现场观看的机会 这个角度切入这个故事的改编 真的让人无法释怀
三体爱好者纷纷打出一星。毕竟他们太有人性,缺乏兽性。
我见识短,我老土,我第一次看百老汇歌剧,我就是被震撼到了,怎么着。
9·11过去了20年
片长一小时46分钟。视觉+1,剧情没漏洞但不是特别吸引人+0.5,表演真实感+1,听觉+1,创新程度+0.5,给四星。
我们在窗边点亮蜡烛
西安疫情lockdown,楼下大喇叭里“请大家保持距离 防止交叉感染” 萦绕不停。面前荧幕里的人们高歌“I’m an islander. I’m an islander.”眼睛里是不容忽视的、充满生命力的光。会好的,我坚信。
无惨这个角色还是可以好好挖掘的;原来现在节奏已经比当年好多了,还是一次性看爽
表演很热情,很有生命力。
管制中心那段太真实了,航空用语非常标准
回家的火车上看的,继《汉密尔顿》之后的第二部音乐剧。音乐剧这种东西,将音乐和剧情结合在一起,真的很有表现力,入坑了。小镇居民的援助,是人性中最原始的善的表达。
足够美式的审美和价值观,不足之处是有些地方实在煽情过度,但不得不承认起码在当下我很喜欢——今日朝鲜新增1.8万发热病例,特此标记——因为无数次深入绝境,才积蓄了更多的爱意和希望
