Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
怎么就算中规中矩？导演，编剧，表演，哪一项能及格了？
都能预料到，但就是拍得那么完整，该有的都有了

这部好水，另两个戏份好少，港片终章非要有人死的定律不变。。。要拍前传感觉不太靠谱😂
无独有偶，跟《梅艳芳》一样都是流行天后编年体传记片，难以避免的走马灯节奏，但Jennifer Hudson更幸运的地方在于，这个剧本除了展现Aretha Franklin的天赋和才华，还比较巧妙地围绕个人挣扎与救赎的主题，讲述她面对性侵、家暴、酒瘾，以及参与黑人民权运动的历史，所涉议题之尖锐，加上富于感染力的表演，在一定程度上弥补了编年体流水账的缺陷。相较而言，《美国诉比莉哈乐黛》通过截取天后的某一时期某一具体事件进行深入演绎的做法，会更符合当代故事片的审美。然而对于巨星的粉丝，编年体还是喜闻乐见的形式。
挺好看的，因为这一部，我还准备去看前面两部。刀疤死的时候想的是前女友，带着遗憾走的！那滴眼泪真的难过啊！
演员阵容没得说，只是剧情我不想说太多，只能看个热闹
Af奶奶的前半生，也是经历了很多苦难的女人
刀疤死的那段还不错，就是剧情处理还是老套路，每部剧情模式都一样的，居然还能拍三部。。。网大到底多能圈钱？还能拍外传？球球张继聪回去拍剧吧。
伍咏薇显得好老。话说，《逆缘》里看到江欣燕也是老得不行了。美人迟暮，不许人间见白头。
Trying to hard to get everything in (sufferings from patriarchy and toxic masculinity, influences from MLK and the civil right movements, childhood trauma, alcoholism, motherhood, spirituality, and even a little touch of feminism), leading to a very disconnected story.
动作戏可以，剧情一塌糊涂。李美琪身材保持得真棒！
一般般
为啥只有5.6分？我觉得蛮好，适合周末的爆米花电影。
剧本太糟糕了，流水账一样毫无重点，能把af奶奶这么传奇的人生拍得这么难看也是意想不到。
女主唱功slay，但都不如本尊在结尾虽机能已退化，高音难上去的那一首natural woman震撼和感人呀……欧美急需能唱能演的演员，真的能唱，不是休杰克曼基德曼海瑟薇那种的……
虽然逃狱没成功，逃狱的戏份也不多，但明显节奏比前两部更好了，情节上也更合理
“没什么是一杯苹果马提尼和一升AB型血不能解决的，是吧？”
尼基塔既视感，MaggieQ好像就没什么变化
