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.

    攻击手段稍微有点恶心,其他的话我都很喜欢,在蜡笔小新的世界里遭殃的永远是大人哈哈哈,在蜡笔小新的世界里配角总是出彩的,是立体的,所以结局的时候我还小小难过了一下

    蜡笔小新的剧场版始终在告诉我们如何释放,主题永远都是快乐自由,暂时告别现实的桎梏。虽然这一集有点遗憾春日护卫队戏份吃瘪,但想想这就是剧场版的意义吧,和新人物相识再告别,没有人会是自己世界中永恒的主角,那些相伴过的深刻,都是独立过的存在。而且还能感受到这几年小新其实也一直在努力充盈自己的教化意义,这一部其实很好地教会了孩子如何面临逝去,那就是记住他们然后活在当下。永远期待新酱!(涂鸦版娜娜子赛高!!!

    啊 小新真的是一个暖男呢 和妈妈 和朋友之间的感情令人动容 涂鸦王国的 啧 想象力丰富 穿过两天的小内裤真是能量满满 佐卫门关键时刻还是没有掉链子 真好 这一部里表现了成年人的丑恶的一面 或许也是人性里丑恶的一面 值得深思

  • 岳平文 4小时前 :

    热评说可以和大人帝国媲美有点言过了,不过确实是近几年比较好的一部了,最后这段不比博人传燃?

  • 揭璎玑 4小时前 :

    剧情方面,是一如既往的拯救世界的题材,这次的冒险既不是和伙伴也不是家人,是「大约四个勇者」。可惜在于,这个精神内核,友情与纯真,作为子供向有点难以理解,作为成人向也太过初级,或许制作组对于自己的定位其实也很迷茫吧。

    作为搞笑电影,不搞笑就太搞笑了。虽然有笑点,温情,故事ok,但就是不好看,老观众回忆一下,新观众可能很难代入。可能蜡笔小新已经被限制在儿童故事了吧。。。。
