这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
改编自同名的著名长篇小说，十分值得一看。四星。
最后，好喜欢影片剖析的报纸 广告 政客 读者的一面，原来是有原著的
三星半吧，开头穷小子和贵族妇人的情史仿佛在看伍迪艾伦，就有种“好了好了我们都知道了你可以move on去搞事业吗”的不耐烦，到了巴黎加入报社后群魔乱舞借的众生群像笑得我拍大腿，这不就是今天某乎某博上带V的节奏大师+红包影评人吗，哪怕是涉水而来的耶稣，到了杠精嘴里也是轻飘飘的一句“你看他都不会游泳”，眼看着他高楼起眼看着他楼塌了。对于巴尔扎克浩瀚如海的原著，电影做减法做得太狠，关键部分却只能靠连篇累牍的原文朗读交代信息，仿佛在电影院看有声书，疲惫不堪。有佳句无佳章吧，导演尽力了，下次不要改编名著了。
一个有才华充满理想的青年偶遇现实，名气、性、金钱以及来自乡下人特有的自卑，巴黎敞开着，此在沉沦着，梳起头发，对着镜子整理领口，涂起眼线，流连于谎言与背叛，性与毒品，香槟、沙龙、戏剧，侯爵夫人、烟雾缭绕的巴黎，以及塞纳河底。
哎，虚幻的繁华伸手可得，缺一碰就碎…等到繁华落尽时，那些最虚伪最狡猾的人被留下…
一个创业者的辛酸，以吕西安的为人处世来说，成功是偶尔性的，但灭是必然的，不用感叹那个世界，每个世界的每一个时代都是这样。期待吕西安再次回到巴黎，幻灭2.
拍巴尔扎克的作品真的很少见。里面还有多兰，开始还以为我认错了，不看身高的话颜值很打眼，而且演得挺不错啊。
我想到了所有那些在觉醒之后，必须找到内在力量的人。——幻灭
不知道是演员扮相、行为举止不够古典，还是拍摄手法有问题，总有种现代人在演古装戏的违和感。而且故事拍得不甚有吸引力，影片时长又有两个半小时，让人情不自禁开始走神。
法国喜剧电影好像总是离不开“叽叽喳喳”感，像是置身于一家闹哄哄的酒馆中闲言碎语的中心。片子精致而吵闹，和主人公一起“造了一个黄粱梦”，也给“梦醒时的荒唐”留了体面。巴尔扎克这个文本，批判完了所有七七八八的东西，最终还是保留了对美的爱。想起北野武的《阿基里斯与龟》。两部片子合在一起，真的很容易敲碎玻璃心的文艺青年。不过别担心，也别混淆～艺术仍然是艺术，美仍然是美。所以我忍不住想大声疾呼：艺术值得！！！
对我来说也是法大革命时期的风情片吧，不过不太喜欢临近幻灭时那个超现实的镜头，实在不着调
幻灭了…perla的字幕机太暗了太暗了我要瞎了ಥ_ಥ
敏感自傲的年轻诗人，经历了情爱经历了世俗，靠才气成功又因为阶级失败，幻灭就在短短一瞬。
看吧，有金钱和文字的地方，就有虚荣、谎言、嫉妒、争斗…… 两百年前与两百年后并无差别。 Lucien 身上有巴尔扎克早年巴黎经历的影子，而Nathan则是他幻想中的自己。仔细想想演员选得挺合适的，Benjamin Voisin虽然不是正统帅哥，但脸上有那种天真与狂热交织的感觉。
法国那个年代也是乱糟糟的，新旧制度的交替，年轻人的梦想天堂
一直以为男主会一步步逆袭，结果被大算计了！
看了大多數影評都反省這片抨擊媒體道德和記者良知。其實感覺導演更多是借著「Lucien的故事」警示我們人性中「善與惡」、「慾與妒」。
Very unsurprising movie. It’s grand and intricate, in a neutral way
他是下河洗干净呢，还是投水幻灭？很喜欢巴黎鳞次栉比的小剧场。
“巴黎”不仅仅是巴黎，更是世界上任何一座令人向往的城市。如果你想要长久立足于此，认清自己的位置，远比一切都来得重要。
