剧情介绍

  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.
  (Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
  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.

  • 亓官邵美 9小时前 :

    片名感觉很生猛的一部电影。几个想去大城市赚大钱的年轻人误入黑心工厂,打工不仅没有收入,反而一开始就欠了老板钱,需要还债,还被囚禁。很熟悉的剧情啊。本来大家一条心要逃跑,可是老板分化了他们,让其中一个小伙成为了狗腿子。少年尚未屠龙,便成为了恶龙。虽然他一直在挣扎,但终究还是与老板同流合污。曾经一起的小伙伴与他渐渐势不两立,别人的前途始终没有自己的人生重要。不过观众也没办法憎恨这个小伙,因为如果是自己恐怕也会这么选择。

    6分。太一般了,数学问题表现得很浅薄,人物关系处理得不太自然,但老崔的演技真不是盖的。总体还算不错吧。

    P.S. π弹出来的钢琴曲真好听

    画面很舒适,奇怪的有故事的数学家也很吸引人看下去,总被要求转学的男孩也很有共鸣,最后很感动!

    巴西警察好爱塑料袋子啊😂电影好残酷啊,马图斯头尾两次坐在车里审视圣保罗,从一开始的开阔大楼到后期高耸的电线,这大牢笼是体制性的腐化,一己之力确实不够

    啥呀这是 还等着看 完美出逃呢 咋挣扎半天还沦陷了呢 别那么现实好吗 !

  • 宿念波 2小时前 :

    整部影片就像数学公式一样,情节展开及求证过程,结果都很一目了然其实电影立足于热血、励志、坚韧奋斗的核心就好,「身份差异」这种老一套的「精神输出」建议韩影就别再搞了,不咋高级,更不咋高尚。

    金字塔最底层,有选择的话只能救自己,顾不了那么多,少谈点情怀,从粪坑好不容易爬出来只要是机会都应该抓住。

  • 庆宜欣 2小时前 :

    7分,贩卖劳工版斯德哥尔摩综合症的写实呈现。导演挺善于反套路,每当观众按惯性需求渴望产生戏剧冲突的点,往往戛然而止,却以构建细节来刻画心理变迁的历程。从觉醒、愤怒、谋划、失败,到求和、寻机、入套、妥协乃至同化,把棍棒+蜜糖的常见洗脑套路编排的游刃有余,顺其自然一步步走向黑化。

  • 敏尔柳 5小时前 :

    《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫:集异璧之大成》尤其巴赫的音乐出来的时候

  • 嘉恒 4小时前 :

    脱北数学家的政治正确,高校后进生的正义凛然。借用数学的外壳上演民族的争斗、教育的腐败和人世的温情,韩国人永远不会放弃三八线两端的题材,也永远不会停止针砭时弊,当然他们更擅长于无声处听惊雷,就这样一部中规中矩、一板一眼的电影,没人会觉得它乏味反而余韵悠长。

  • 弦柏 0小时前 :

    前半段虽然cliche但我还是热泪盈眶,但是后半段cliche到我真的会栓q,图穷匕首见,目的性太强破坏了那么点仅剩的美感。电影唯一新鲜的设定竟然是猜想证明了黎曼猜想|-|害

  • 华远 4小时前 :

    6.5/10 将依靠一部短篇电视剧才能叙述的内容, 压缩融进两个小时之中而导致成片失败的事例早已数不胜数, 可惜仍有作品继续进行这成功几率近乎为零的试图。 更为遗憾, 本作正是此类。 友情, 亲情, 乃至对数学的热忱, 对国家的见解... 本作大胆的为角色染上一抹特色, 为故事定制别样背景, 然而重心缺失的故事, 个性不存在的角色, 动机欠缺的行动, 环环相扣让整部作品如同脱轨的火车。 最终除了一众演员的演技以外, 可取之处仅剩部分留存新意的设定而已。

    是我看的翻译有问题吗?后半段这啥啊?怎么就老师被学生牺牲自己感动了,他不是被威胁了么?怎么数学老师突然就不打自招了?那个女学生不敢站出来说话安顿别人申冤?怎么的你家势力这么大有正义感不敢执行?逃到了国外成果就能不被泄露出去吗?要讲师生情就好好讲,强行圆场不伦不类的。崔大叔咱要不还是砍人或者干老虎吧,搞笑片也行啊,别接这文艺兮兮本子了,演的好也太出戏了
