Volker Schlöndorff transposes Bertolt Brecht’s late-expressionist work to latter-day 1969. Poet and anarchist Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal roams through forests and along motorways, greedy for schnapps, cigarettes, women and men: ‘You have to let out the beast, let him out into the sunlight.’ After impregnating a young actress he soon comes to regard her as a millstone round his neck. He stabs a friend to death and dies alone. ‘You are useless, mangy and wild, you beast, you crawl through the lowest boughs of the tree.’
The film takes youthful impetuousness and hatred of oppression as its subject and also ponders the cult of genius and sexual morals. Rainer Werner Fassbinder simultaneously plays both Baal and himself and is surrounded by many actors who were later to perform in his own films. After the film was broadcast on West German television, Brecht’s widow Helene Weigel prohibited any further screenings, arguing that the social circumstances engendering Baal’s rebelliousness had not been adequately explained.
自由的代价是什么？一切！
超棒！觉得有启发我很多点，让我思考新的东西，以及“复杂”才是现实，不要逃避，不要伤害，不要简单化。
如鲠在喉
αⅡ！
“自由的代价是什么”，对不起，我笑了，这句台词是突然从哪条缝里面蹦出来的，尴不尴尬啊，明明从头到尾拍的是黑人反白人的殖民统治和种族压迫，怎么一下子就变成为“自由”而战了？这片不会是给“颜色革命”拍的吧？反压迫反歧视怎么就和“自由”挂上钩了，这么莫名其妙的逻辑居然还有不少人附和。很多人给高分可能是因为讲的是“种族歧视”，但该片片尾把“种族歧视”问题转变成了为“自由”为战，变味了好吗。
只要我们有一个人被拷着，就没人拥有自由。
其实改编的不错，虽然三个人人物设计有所重合，但是整体上各个人以及各个人的角色产生了一定的平衡，只有平衡才能让事件情节完整地推进下去并使得屏幕里的这场劫持让人相信。
爱情没有ファンタジー～喜欢不是一件简单的事啊！
片尾令人潸然泪下的歌曲是Asimbonanga，由祖鲁语演唱的合唱和用英语演唱的诗句组成，在反对种族隔离运动中广受欢迎。（理想主义者永远一腔热忱）
有些自由不是born to have的 看完有点sad…
追求自由的故事总是让人向往、感动。Captain, what's the price of freedom? I don't know. Everything.
结尾的红光有点血色浪漫啊 for freedom
生拉硬拽扯到了纳尔逊曼德拉头上，整个抓捕过程警察也太水了些。
这片子评分有点低啊，个人赶脚挺不错的，黑与白，自由，人类，演员演技也不错
今年看过最提气的片子了，看得好气，好燃。motherfucker politicians
这是我见过最温和的抢银行，这是我见过最。不害怕的人质。30年前的80年代的南非，到底是黑人说了算还是白人说了算？麦格拉在民众中的心目中的地位是如此之高。
发生在青春期的纠结与撕扯。
在“白人至上主义盛行”的国度，黑人肯定是最低贱的，可就算你是身居高位的白人，如果出言不逊，想做埋汰主义的事，那也得死。
自由是什么？是一切，自由价更高，若为自由故，一切皆可抛。
释放曼德拉是男主灵机一动，绝境之中的提议，彰显了历史的随机偶然性。
