A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.
单就电影而言，我只喜欢它的荒诞不经和中世纪欧洲的布景
摩根勒菲与亚瑟王的角力 见证骑士的成长归根到底还是考验诚信和勇气
一个无名小卒的骑士养成之旅，电影节奏属实太慢，看的中途我睡着好几次，如果不是看到了最后，我还真以为他只是一个玩不起游戏的胆小鬼，当上国王后抛弃自己的女人的败类，没想到结尾却来了一个大反转，直接颠覆了我对他的看法，他是一个从幼稚不断走向成熟的士兵，他配得上“骑士”的称号。
作家的骨灰用写满文字的报纸包裹，小男孩提起小狗的后肢玩耍。
越来越故弄玄虚，越来越不会说人话。恐怖和寓言都只停留在了华丽阴鸷的皮囊。

当理解了生的意义之后，也就接受了死亡。这部电影除了探讨骑士精神、何为重要之外，感觉还有存在主义/虚无主义的意味。
仿佛同人改编 在宏大的传说框架下讲述（也不是很小的）小人物成长故事 视听感受好但总觉得不够劲
看来古典爱好者和冒险爱好者的目标群体重叠不多，分这么低。
最后一秒幡然醒悟的怂逼蜕变记。大卫·洛维虽然炫技过头，但影像仍值得反复揣摩回味。

其实观众对亚瑟王和他继承者的故事没关系，没看过他们的民间诗歌也没关系。有隐喻也不是问题，但通篇密不透风都是隐喻，半点出气口都不留就是个问题。其实...通篇都是隐喻也能拍得很好，这就要看导演的功力了，动如《黑客帝国》静如《少年派的奇幻漂流》都是通篇隐喻，就撑得起来。总而言之，没金刚钻别揽瓷器活。
有些东西就不应该真人化。真人电影后，整部电影使人不得不对于这只狗进行一些更现实的思考，比如：如何铲屎
彩色部分将散落的美国符号自成文本(诺贝尔奖、香烟、美国往事)，离乡者在不可归去的欧洲幻景(母亲画像)中寄于女童身体的自我毁灭守候与重生。
悲欣交集（撒骨灰这么俗 也能流下两滴猫眼泪
不应该在David Lowery的电影里过度强求叙事性，但这样的一个故事，如果没有它该有的叙事性和逻辑性，那么带给观众的只会是各种“一厢情愿”的解读，可能到最后，对当时历史风貌的感受要比所谓的骑士精神更加深刻，人物也确实拧巴了点，看得不算轻松。
西方寓言的小格局，讲的大道理蛮深刻又冷静。原作诗歌文本，真的是被换化成充满诗意的电影构图和镜头运动，属于少数人才拥有的才华横溢。最厉害的是，一个人要成为理想主义追求的英雄(骑士精神)，不仅要验证是自己的不自量力，而且最终会发现终成英雄后，背面是多少利益编织的成就感。这片子应该给年轻鲜肉们看，可是太"艺术"，最后变成更年期人群的售后福音。喜欢被捆绑森林时的360长镜画圆闭环，多数人都是这么克服心理困境的。人最怕被抛弃的。

被砍头时的几次躲闪显得真实可爱。
