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.
认定了李小姐之后，就坚定的为对方付出，承包了接送孩子、辅导功课的任务，甚至提供住处，面对风情万种的野猫和有过感情基础的前妻，也没有改变自己的选择。
这部动画哪里辱华了，这就是大部分普通传统中国父母缩影，盲目、专制、控制欲，这个世界上本就没有完美的父母，但他们也永远在付出、陪伴和爱。但凡说点国人的缺点就看作是辱华，是民族的不自信。
骨子里是大型的情景喜剧，妙在剧本、 对白、演员的拿捏。剧中的语音很罕见的是生活的语言。但这剧的成功和矛盾都在与此。因为完完全全是虚构的人物和场景。没有一个年届50的中年艺术男会住在这样的弄堂里（我的家人依然还有住在那样地方的），更别说展开浪漫了。一方面人为的感觉很强烈，另一方面又带来了久违的喜剧张力。导演似乎很乐意把自己定位在这里（而不是任何艺术高度，影片里有好几处这样的机会）。公允地说，我觉得片子很成功，让我放声大笑。最后，配乐太糟糕了。
「和索菲亚罗兰的故事，感人吧？我编的。」一开始觉得文艺报菜名有点硬，到最后渐入佳境，沪味正浓。剧情离散，爱却真实。
把最佳男配角奖发给周野芒！一个老白，一个老乌代表了两种上海老男人，前者是小资闷骚，后者是爱兜牛逼装金刚钻的明骚，“上海这个地方现在我算外人了我蹲不下去了”一句玩笑话居然让我最能relate。全程沪语的生活流现在轻松惬意，值得把玩的小细节也不少。两个妈妈演员的数落孩子戏份真的和我妈也差不多。但是说带头，人到中老年能出去耍朋友，是不是还是因为侬有几套老房子？
我觉得不像是一部电影倒像是小品集，谈不上艺术性顶多就是一种挺特别的拿捏，是写给上海这个城市的一封并不想正经交往的情书，玩一玩乐一乐就够了。前半部分还算吸引人但因为没有内核的东西看到后面就觉得像吃多了的奶油开始起腻了。像修鞋匠还自磨咖啡的这种表达，我觉得属于艺术源自生活但着实高过生活就显得刻意和造作了。作为一个沪漂六七年的导演处女秀，远没有挖掘出上海人骨子里的那种劲儿，三个女人演到最后成了一个劲儿，这劲儿就有点不对了。
喜欢的原因在于：它对上海近乎吐槽式的刻画，跟我想吐槽上海的东西，一模一样。它太上海了（鞋匠就可以代表全体上海人），可以作为城市情景剧看，所以很开心，不用想其他。
羡慕！优秀！游刃有余！能把自己想要的拍出来，真的不容易，各种不容易！未来可期！
感觉这剧本是坂元裕二写出来的，当然还有这北电戏文专业练就的会写段子的伶牙俐齿。最后的镜头挺好，最让人感动的老乌的故事感觉像是“青年破处”版广岛之恋。
全片沪语，老弄堂，小资情调，海派风情，金句频出。或许有些标签化，有些片面，可两个小时的电影，展现一面已经足够。
能够見出許多方面的電影/文學傳統，例如法國香頌般的都市小品、伍迪·艾倫的片子、“愛在”三部曲，還有上海的通俗文藝傳統。能把這三個女人的一臺戲拍得俗而不“油”，原因在於影片從不試圖展現絕對的人設和極端的感情，同時在把這整件事拍出來之外，並不刻意誘導觀眾勒索更豐沛的意義。儘管主人公的生活狀態又讓我想到王朔筆下的某些北京人，但該片仍可說是只在上海並只以吳語進行方可成立的文本；它提供的是一套非生產性、同時高度去道德化的消費社會的感情圖景，而且特重女性切身的生活體驗：前現代的浪漫主義文化中的“癡情”/“愛情至上”，被指認為現代城市生活中的一種“神話”，它照亮了都市的夜空，卻也讓人們不以為意。另尤其體現劇作能力的一點是鞋匠的設置，這一掃地僧角色起到了故事旁觀者和“評點”者的作用。2021年12月24日於金逸達鏢。

四星半：爱情神话封存着坍塌的罗马，路边旅馆私藏着余生的珍宝。鞋匠和大师之间只差一条格言，鸡毛与艺术之间只隔一杯咖啡。中年人的爱情没有那么多朱砂和白月光，围着饭桌的都是饭粒和豆腐渣，把一万块的鞋履谎称两百是为善良，将两万五的赎金挥霍一空也是深情，夜晚的啤酒能够制造浪漫也能造福生活，白日的咖啡可以是愉悦的点缀也是忧愁的必备。生活中多的是英国人难以通过的英文测试、意大利人衣锦难还的义乌故乡，有人填满了后缀仍觉得一场空虚，有人唯有爱情为座右铭却不枉此生，什么是徒劳，什么是成功，什么是爱情，都是刻在光影之中的神话。
到外滩十八号剧场聊天那段像是抽离出来的一段议论；结尾电影里的人看着电影院的我们，我们看着电影里的人
挺喜欢的，值回票价（比平常高1/3）。因为以前做过城市摄影所以会比较在意都市的呈现方式，这部给人的感觉耳目一新。电影从第一个镜头的（话剧）[幕后]走到（电影）[台前]，本身是有一个空间维度的转变的，这里要用到一个建筑学的术语，叫facade立面，每个人物都试图维持自身的精致立面（一如上海遗留的老建筑），但只有白老师是在试图展示和衔接侧面（多面，最终在餐桌上相遇）。每当立面崩塌，就会出现不同的空间调度，一如寻找展厅时强调的空间错位，这些差错深深浅浅，偶有触碰到中年人的脆弱时刻，但却并没有一刻失去气力。从幕后到台前，爱情的神话是渗透立面的努力，排队没有领到糖，好歹有共享抗糖化妆品嘛～
最后小型追悼会上大家看《爱情神话》这段很妙，太写实了哈哈哈哈！
最后大家围坐看费里尼的场景确实让人感动，说着电影好无聊的大家，客厅墙上却挂着安妮塔的海报！！！哈哈哈哈太有意思了。
2.神预言：吐槽翻拍电影是财富密码（内涵误杀2？）不要乳化（雄狮少年中枪），还出现了hi stranger（王力宏调情）
最后小型追悼会上大家看《爱情神话》这段很妙，太写实了哈哈哈哈！
红熊猫真可爱，毛茸茸的我也想要抱，牵起少女时的妈妈那段看得我流眼泪，说这部里的华人家庭是刻板印象之类的影评，只能说都是幸运的人
