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.

反思自己。一无是处，但是努力活着。
当你热爱生活的那一刻，你就找到了自己的火花
觉得跟自己期望值不符。唯一的赞美来自他们真的能把亲子这碗饭吃得那么好。
啊，在这艰难的一年年末有这样一部悄悄戳人泪腺，让人哭完还觉得治愈的片子，多难得啊，即使出了影院世界还是这么糟糕，但就是想把这碗鸡汤一饮而尽。推荐喜欢听爵士乐的观众，你会听到不亚于《爱乐之城》水平的银幕演出；推荐喜欢看特效的观众，有几个场景我想到了《星际穿越》的五维空间(这个可能有点牵强)；至于本来就喜欢《头脑特工队》《寻梦环游记》式设定的皮克斯爱好者，啊快去看呀！
这部电影讲的是一个寻找激情，面对才华的故事，它是一个温柔的青春期的故事：“我擅长它，可我不知道自己喜不喜欢”。但另一个沉重的问题是“我喜欢它，但也早已知道我不擅长”，对于后一个问题，我们必须去别处再寻找答案。
四颗星给技术吧。怎么港，皮克斯其实已经很难打动我了。近十年的12部作品，除了Coco，其他都乏善可陈，好几部还是无聊的狗尾续貂之作，被人捧上天的Inside out在我看来也是gender-roled stereotypical crap. 不过这部至少告诉人们人生的意义是活在当下，就好像被生活压得喘不过气的现代人还有空去思考人生的意义一样，有空纠结这个不如多赚点钱，money is everything. 人生本来也没啥意义，做自己喜欢的事就是意义，就算我知道这件事没意义，但我高兴，这就是意义。我都快不认识意义这两个字了……
我不大行，打动不了我，完了我要拖好友平均分后腿了。
这句话我记挂了很多年，还曾把它小心翼翼贴在本子上。这是当时我认为于我来说最为贴切的评语。那些年，我做什么事总是“只差一点点”，“前方迷雾”的感觉贯穿我的生活。
设定很有趣，沉浸在心流里就会进入另一个zone（甚至忽视生活中其他可贵的东西？），而执念太深就会迷失。生活本生就是生活的意义，重拾对生活的触觉是消解抑郁的方法之一。Been there, done that. 其中Ocean VS Water的说法不是第一次听到，但更有感触了，大概是老了。和昨天看的电影比起来，这才是it’s a wonderful life啊…Jazz加一星！
倒是觉得情节比设定好，设定本身也不算啥特别有新意思，情节细节比较有趣，比如“他天生就是个理发师”“哦其实我想当兽医"那段。
岁月静好里透露着一丝孤独，温情治愈里也透露着一抹孤寂。
我曾经跨过山和大海，也穿过了人山人海，我曾经拥有着的一切，一转眼都飘散如烟，我曾经失落失望失掉了所有的方向，直到我看见了平凡才是唯一的答案
黑男搭配白女的选举年左翼造势意图太过明显，后面的人格互换的核心设定又落于俗套，别说以往单单本年度就有一部杀人狂魔与内向女学生的换身片。但最大问题还是用动画去表现此类题材，那种互换变身后的奇特而尴尬的微妙感觉你无法通过滚圆无褶馄饨一体的动画角色面部微表情去展示。动画的特长是将动物人格化和人物虚夸化（钢琴师的茄子脸）。这一出一入就在客观上大幅降低了人与动物之间的物种差异，所以他们之间性格互换，诸如人行猫事或者猫说人话，并不能产生真人电影中的那种反差奇趣——动画片里的猫狗本来就说人话！……本位特点相互背离的动画形式与性格互换题材属于结构性错搭，加上离魂天堂走一遭的概念也在仿袭英伦经典迈克鲍威尔的《平步青云》。纵然天梯算盘和毕加索抽象天使曾让人眼前一亮，也仅仅是短暂惊艳而已。两星半。
高水平心灵鸡汤，得偿所愿之人顿悟目标、梦想不重要，反对庸俗的成功学、奋斗B滥调有可取之处，但资C阶级编织白日梦、麻痹大众的味儿却又浓了点。对大多数人而言，享受生活云云聊以自慰尚可，底层的苦闷、苦难却依旧是实实在在的，并非电影所能消解。
稍稍超出预期，皮克斯的水平依旧令人放心，这次的国语配音挺棒的（毫无违和感）。享受当下，享受生活！
我单方面宣布Pete Docter是我soul mate，每一部都看得本人哭啊哭啊
Try hard to find your spark/ocean in your life。
看着树叶、看着花瓣、看着棒棒糖也能流下泪来，皮克斯就永远是最爱的皮克斯。
看到很多一语中的的短评，希望妈妈也去到了那么美好的地方。
