新半斤八两国语

The first movie of the "Berliner Schule" ("La Nouvelle Vague Allemande" Cahiers Du Cinema) that gained international recognition with it being screened in the "Un certain regard"-section of Cannes Film Festival 2004. There certainly are elements in this film that could have been left out, and the film would have been better off for it; why the cheap monster/demon makeup?(The increasing blisters are great though..) Why having that obnoxious fatso-brother appear in the film at all? And let's face it, the special effects in places were not exactly state of the art either, neither were the editing. So why give it an 8 then? Well my rating couldn't have been any lower, and this is based solely on the fact that the film positively reeks of unique and creepy atmosphere, atmosphere so dark that I put it up there with the Kane-scenes in "Poltergeist 2", and the atmosphere in "Exorcist 3". There truly are some psychotic and memorable scenes. Two that stands out are when the mother of the family tries to " connect the dots" on Cyrus's back, the other is when she sits quietly in the living-room sowing, and then starts to jam the needle and thread into her hands! Excellent! Not to mention the infested fruit and vegetables! All in all,there is in this film a disturbed and unsettling tension that you seldom get to witness in other horror flicks of the same decade, and certainly not in contemporary and crappy Hollywood blockbusters, that's for sure. If you are just curious, rent! If you are a true horror-fan, buy! 落魄的(de )中年韩国男人跟着向(🌗)(xiàng )导游(🔣)走(zǒu )于尼泊(bó )尔的雪域(yù )高(🎐)原，严重(🦊)(chóng )的高原(yuá(🥀)n )反应让他昏迷过(🦍)去，醒来(👫)后(hòu )他(📞)发现(♉)(xiàn )自己已经(jīng )被(🕧)送到目(🌓)的(de )地。男(👣)(nán )人叫崔（崔岷植 饰(➕)），目的(🎾)(de )地这家(🐋)(jiā )人在等待(dài )一(🤒)个叫(🗯)道基(jī(🛍) )的男人(🌀)(rén )，道基(jī )是这家(🚸)的男主人，去(🥑)(qù )韩国(🥤)了(le )打工。崔不忍心(🦕)告诉(sù )他们(🗜)道(dào )基(🖱)意外(wài )身亡的消(xiāo )息，只是交(🏡)(jiāo )给他(💒)们(men )一些钱，谎称是道基(jī )送来(🚜)，而且告(👵)(gào )诉他们说(💠)(shuō )道基很好，自己(🆖)只(zhī )是(😅)假期来(🦃)旅行(🚐)。在这里崔听(tīng )说(🍯)风会(huì(😿) )把人此(🕜)生(shēng )的因果报应(yīng )带(📂)走，之后(📯)人们便(🖊)会邂逅自己的魂(🙀)(hún )灵(🍯)。道(dào )基(⭐)已经身(😷)(shēn )亡的事情最(zuì(🚨) )终还是(shì )被(👶)这家(jiā(⛔) )人发现，他们在风(📯)中(zhōng )把道基(🎞)(jī )的骨(➰)灰撒向大地。崔(cuī(👼) )带着对(duì )着(❕)远在(zà(📵)i )美国妻女(nǚ )的牵挂，离(lí )开那(📦)个(gè )一(🥥)如既往的空(Ⓜ)灵与静(jìng )谧村落(🕡)(luò )，向着(⚾)(zhe )更高处(🎓)走(zǒ(📜)u )去。 张家出(chū )与李(✍)凤(fèng )择(👍)日成亲(🔻)之事，为经济问题(tí )伤(🐅)透脑(nǎ(🐼)o )筋。初时(🎿)(shí )，家出姑姑(gū )之(🦓)妙计(❌)(jì )－－(♐)让他们(🚹)假私奔真结婚，却(💎)不料(liào )假戏(📨)真做，亲(🎆)家变冤(yuān )家。双(shuā(👜)ng )方父亲(qīn )刊(🍸)登寻人(🕣)启事，但双(shuāng )方母(🍚)亲(qīn )仍是敌(🐘)对。最后(🔓)，姑(gū )姑再施(shī )妙计，演出一出(🔗)(chū )戏外(😅)戏，在(zài )囍字中(zhōng )终结。 Country boy arrives in Rio de Janeiro, looking for a better life, but he finds it extremely difficult to get a job, and even has to work as a pimp in order to survive. A woman has a brief affair with the contractor who is renovating her apartment and he refuses to accept the end of the relationship. Delicate and surreal. "A hora mágica" is a mix between a noir movie and a fantastic, surreal movie, dealing with the contrasts between reality as it is and reality as we want it to be. Life imitates art, but what life? What art? Is any of it worth it? The acting, the scenario, the timing, all promote an air of falsehood, and for a good reason: this is the land of fantasy, of desire, a place to try (and fail) to escape the roughness of real life and join the paradisiac land of the movies (or, as it is, of radio soap-operas). And this is why it also explicitly resembles a noir movie, the kind of movie that epitomizes the glamour of Hollywood. This game between reality and fantasy is paralleled to the shock originated with the arrival of TV in Brazil, rivaling radio, as TV virtually destroyed the radio soap-operas (the main character is a radio soap-opera actor). All in all, a delicate film, beautiful to the eyes and the soul, well-done technically, and with a good soundtrack. In particular, the final sequence is simply perfect, maybe among the most beautiful in the history of cinema; that sequence alone justifies recommending this film. 故事(🐼)开始在(🕴)(zài )一个突(tū(🗂) )降大雪(xuě )的夜晚(🏺)，十月怀(🦅)胎的(de )Nora（(🔏)格瑞(ruì )辰·摩尔 Gretchen Mol 饰）(💌)肚子作(🌜)动，身(shē(🏁)n )为医生(shēng )的丈夫David（德(🎽)蒙特·(🦁)莫(mò )罗(🈳)尼 Dermot Mulroney 饰(shì )）决定送(🖐)她去自己的(🖱)诊所，同(👆)时打(dǎ )电话给护(😄)士Gil（艾米丽(📋)(lì )·沃(🎿)森(sēn ) Emily Watson 饰）让(ràng )他(🥏)赶紧去(qù )诊(🌃)所准备(🥩)。
