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.
女主过于漂亮，印度种姓是刻在脸上的，女主和她母亲过大的视觉差算是选角不当。整部电影节奏、镜头反胃，BGM巨吵，由于庭审效果，两次反转没能带来任何惊喜，这部电影最成功之处是——它是印度电影。
叙事技法挺拙劣的，宝莱坞式的形式感犹存，并不对胃口。但即便如此，这道直面社会议题的大杂烩已经足以震荡观众的味蕾。其原因，才是当下观众或不是观众的人们，所面临的困境与无力——揭露出这些，是本片对国内观影环境的最大价值。
“这就是政治。为了赢，我会玩任何肮脏的游戏，政治家最大的武器知道是什么吗？情感!公众的情感!是疯狂，他们的思想，智慧还有决策都会被这种疯狂推翻。当他们因为这种情绪而忘记一切的时候，我们就能实现统治!”
对于糟糕的技术，我觉得7.5分是上线，最反感拖沓冗长，自说自话。
反转还是可以的，就是慢镜头和配乐太抒情了，导致后面的反转风格不搭。
依法治国
但至少 是个开始吧
很明显，印度上层在积极推动社会革新，最近揭露社会弊端呼吁改变的电影密集上映，又新选出了一位底层女性总统，一切都在加速变化。本片片名敢用印度国歌的名字，可见一斑。
一边跪，一边哭。
优点说完了，作为电影，拍得真的不怎么滴。印度似乎很喜欢这种无数反转的剧本，就像之前的调音师，这种戏码用到点子上画龙点睛，但用烂了，除了不可避免的数不清的bug以外，我说好听了就是工匠感，说难听了就是消费智商来了，这故事拍得就是流水账，只需要刻意隐藏信息然后一个一个抖包袱反转就行了，当然也许为了迎合市场和口味而为之，那恰恰就拉低了电影的水准。
创作者的技法显然都撑不起表达欲，
这段台词太燃了
里面那个警官演的太好了吧…影片最后那几分钟有点多余…
看到最后，才明白谁和谁是宿敌。印度真的很敢拍啊，这个题材，政党操控舆论，扭曲真实，你所相信的都是被加工的真相，所谓的坚守正义可能只是坚守着速食咖啡一样的即时正义......蛮牛的，国内绝无可能的题材。就是叙事稍有些乱，能理解是为了不断反转的爽感而刻意为之，姑且当作一种风格吧。推荐
而它的主题公正和法治，我觉得法治已经深入我国民众心底了。
一般，比较超现实，可能是翻译问题，我还是搞不懂副局长最后为啥要自爆，自爆了也没有把幕后操纵者揪出来啊？里面人物的行为缺乏充足的动机，很情绪化。配乐和台词不错，煽动性很强，印象最深的是“让提问题的人沉默，给讨论的人戴上手铐”
学会做减法是印度电影百尺竿头更进一步的最大难关。
印度的电影逐渐走出了自己的风格，虽然并不是当今盛行的实验性电影风格，但是却把自己民族和国家的问题表达到了极致，《宿敌》不仅是父权社会与女权及人权的对抗，正是法律自身与自身的对抗，还是民主与政治的对抗，更是种姓制度与新时代人性的对抗。这些对抗加上层层的悬疑，让一个片子既有了阶层点燃大家的内心，又给予了片子本身强悬疑快反转的底色，虽然会有一定的bug，但是却给了电影更大的空间。这便是印度电影的进步，我们的亚太区电影真的各有各的特色，啥时候能咸鱼翻个身啊！
内容有惊喜。开始以为是简单的除暴安良、争取女权，后来又开始宣传司法程序的正义，接着又说政客和愚民、舆论操控，最后又来以暴制暴、我要复仇。内容比较多，值得一看。缺点是故事主角不断切换，不怎么连贯。
反转再反转的电影，人性真是个猜不透的东西
