You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
所以你看，也不能太过指责现在的年轻一代不看电影，而钟情两分钟小视频——连影响了整整一代人的大神斯皮尔伯格都把电影拍成这种样子了，现代电影还谈什么大师魅力与社会影响力？
what the fuck is this
是这个故事的男女主角本身就没魅力可言，还是说演员没选好？两版看下来，都是配角比主角有戏，两主角行尸走肉一样，就这样女主角还拿了金球奖？倒是这一版的美术和摄影颇美，America那一段更是比61版还要燃。
斯皮尔伯格的窘境在于他当年创造的影像风格成了当今好莱坞最常见的风格，即使把这种风格做到极致，我挑不出毛病，却也难以感受到太多惊喜
毫无诚意的翻拍，编舞平庸、对白无趣又冗长，2021版《西区故事》更像是二流戏剧而非电影。
种族，性别，战争……女性角色全部化身情感的使者，告诉我们唯有爱能化解一切。六十年后再次问鼎奥斯卡的硬实力已经具备，但奥斯卡“守旧”的可能性并不大。
【2.0】对没看过旧版电影或是喜欢传统歌舞片的观众来说，这或许还是一部青春洋溢的餐后甜品式电影，然而不巧的是我对旧版和歌舞片都谈不上有多大的热爱，何况本片的演出节奏和调度相较于旧版都显然退步，观影实在很难说是愉快的。
男女主完全没有化学反应导致罗密欧与朱丽叶线整个没有触动到我 不过作为一个十级歌舞片爱好者 不得不说简直是视听盛宴 有生之年能看到这么完美的一个歌舞片真的没理由不给五星 斯皮尔伯格yyds 光影运用和运镜太牛了 p.s. Riff比男主更像男主 Anita比女主更像女主
What are you doing, Spielberg???
在看到没有受伤的玛利亚并一再确认其安危 完全不顾自己是否中了枪的托尼 满眼都是玛利亚 鸡皮疙瘩起一身 这是什么爱情 生死置之度外 帮派民族之战的悲剧 徒留玛利亚和阿妮塔伤心欲绝
虽然是用心在既要致敬老片，也有斯皮尔伯格一些独特的镜头感，但这片子确实非常一般般的东西，看点并不太够
一场关于归属感的战争。电影内的一切都没什么大毛病，只是单纯喜欢不起来。
Spielberg经典重现 “你们不要再打啦”
没有看明白这个故事到底是要制造分裂还是谴责对立
开头伊始就以强运动性的长镜交代环境，构建物理物体的空间隐喻关系，改变原版建筑形态为废墟凸显人群纠纷；歌舞在保留起势壮丽的同时，中段争端舞蹈又以西班牙弗拉明戈舞为底色，大量编排大腿与裙子的群舞，植入波多黎各符号，后端打扫段落，开镜的镜子与灯光排列无疑指向后台歌舞片。技术上最好的还是灯光，在制造戏剧性又不保留舞台感的情况下，四面八方，五彩斑斓自然成了妙法，场景内的窗外阳光拟态也做的贴近影片风格，盐场打斗结束，开门左边大灯光的投射影子，黑色警匪气质独立于电影。剧情最大的变化是给男主加上了道德挣扎心境，可惜无下文，结尾反美式主旋律的女二与无可解的结局无疑对照60年过去依旧存在的种族矛盾困境，废墟上依旧无法重建（想起《为所应为》）。但怎样的优点也抵不过那让人接受不了的情感人物设置。PS：感谢友邻交流。
摄影机也在舞蹈，乐此不疲地翻越场景，和戏剧行为同调的起落和往返，频繁的越轴，一刻都不停留，好像被赋予了一双更自由的眼睛，视点本身就能谱成乐章。这是诠释剧场的另一种方式，无处不在的镜头炫光也是同样的道理：人的眼睛是不会看到这种光的，所以总会心虚地觉得它在不停提醒我周遭的虚幻。械斗段落也许是全年最出色的单场戏之一，阴影照告的危险，风卷残云的不理智，陡峭丛生，坠落发生在瞬间。音乐正正地停留在这之后，这让最后几个最悲伤的时刻，都沉浸在无声里，终结在不说明中，这种力量反而更强大，更让我们清楚地意识到这是无人幸免的悲剧：失去栖身处，失去爱人，失去良知，失去生命，所有的苦难处处相通。
Spielberg and his endless budget only make the film visually appealing, but the old chemistry is missing. One of the drawbacks is the altered storyline does not make sense; the second half entirely lacks focus. Not even mentioning the overloaded autotune. It’s good that they cast real Hispanic actors. Rita Monroe is still killing it!! (She is absolutely terrific, but her role in the remake is a stretch. )
导演水平比前作是突飞猛进。但斯皮包对原作的种族议题理解实在是完全不在乎，以至于买椟还珠地拍成了土味《罗密欧与朱丽叶》
一个本身就很牵强的故事线完全靠演员的表演与气质justify，结果男主全片最拉。四星给其他一切。至少把in the heights吊起来打。
新瓶装旧酒，翻车翻大了。不明白这个陈旧故事怎么会一点改编的痕迹都没有，Tony Kushner你好歹是写出过“天使在美国”的大神啊！另外，阵容gay到我了...
