Alex de Renzy (FEMMES DE SADE, PRETTY PEACHES) was one of the greatest directors of adult films ever, his career starting in the late 60's and preceeding well into the 90's. So saying that BABY FACE, stands as his crowning achievement is no small praise. This ranks as one skinflick that truly has it all, a complete storyline, fine production, and a couple of decent acting performances and some of the hottest sex scenes ever assembled in a single movie.
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn Cuddles Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After a near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.
This fancy cathouse provides the perfect backdrop for the movie's myriad sexual situations, nearly all of them handled with great style and enthusiasm by cast and filmmaker alike, shot through with a wickedly subversive humor. Standout scenes include gentle giant Roberts tender initiation of the eager Malone, their contrast in size providing an instant thrill all by itself, and the late great Kristine Heller taking on pretty much all the guys present in what has to stand as the single greatest gang bang sequence ever committed to film or video.
音乐浇灌梦想，梦想照亮生活。一段音乐剧式的传记人生，是穿透绝望黑暗的炙热色彩。慌乱失措的悲凉现实，乐此不疲的痴迷不悟，八年追梦仍旧没有回响，一片狼藉却也未寻得慰藉。在失去的颠簸中流浪，在爱意的拥抱里哭泣，我握着手中的信念，我插着梦想的羽翼，逐渐窒息的压迫迸发出最坚毅的弧光，所有的苦涩却泛起轻盈的浪花。遗憾妆点希望，失败注解过去，一切的绚烂都簇拥于胸，却停驻不了倒数的时刻，不胜唏嘘的鲜花与掌声也无法见证成功，悲剧却生出了最坚不可摧的记忆……
乔纳森也是幸运的，有流星划过夜空的绚烂。
排练和声段落，每个白人中间都夹着一名少数族裔，格外整齐。太服气了，有劲儿吗？真的开始觉得美国片不如法国片好看了。
滴答滴答倒数，拉森的三十岁来得太早，而他的三十六岁永远没有到来，林聚聚在音乐剧方面的才华让另一位天才的坎坷之路串接着倒数时刻的演出美妙地呈现出来，当然要算上加菲无可挑剔的表演，八年熬出的傲慢进不了百老汇，那就潜心创作下一部剧。
你看看 其实大家都有年龄焦虑 但是最后我们发现 光焦虑没有用 还是踏踏实实积累输出 最后我们可能赶不上烟花绽放 但也算是蜡炬成灰了
我看到评论里都在爆哭。所以我知道了，我是铁石心肠。
这才是能淋漓呈现当下流媒优势的音像制品，尽管电影语法/结构性较弱，LMM还是为其注入了难得轻逸的律动感。两种艺术体裁的融合不止体现于即兴唱段，还有情绪和画面的巧妙对接（泳道幻化成的五线谱，经典的天台抒情段落，偌大体育场内孤独的钢琴）。喜欢用脱口秀做scene-switching point的创意，观众直到结尾才露面，是对叙事上自传式口吻的印证。很多细节固然还可以深挖，但维持在目前的水平业已令人动容。生命倒计时前的任性执着，恰到好处的鸡血和感伤。
在三十岁之前几个月看这部电影不知道是好事还是坏事

个人评分7.3/10【B】
四星有两星都是感情分。前一个小时那叫一个剪得乱和着急，但是让人又哭又笑也是少有的本事。I hope you will be as happy as our cruel world allows. 👏🏼
未必是最好的影片，却是当下最难得，最契合个人情绪状态的电影。同片中的主人公一样，在某项事业上投入了数年的时间精力，却没有得到任何回报，而身边所有美好的一切也一点点从自己生命中逝去。到底是再投入数年时间，还是退出这个行业另谋出路呢？我的人生又还有几个年头允许自己这么去挥霍消磨呢？
偏向话剧，对白N多的家庭伦理电影，象征时代更迭，家族传承！
加菲有追求，有前途～ 虽然现在看着还有点像表演工作室的学生…故事好美，每一个Jon人生中的时刻都牵动人心，但LMM这种快剪真的是看着好难受…可能老了受不了这么多又晃又快切的镜头。这是theatre没法剪辑后遗症么，能拍电影了就疯狂切镜头？
For the love of NYC，Musical and greatest artists!热血沸腾，眼眶含泪，恨不得起立鼓掌（只恨不是在剧院里），Bradley Whitford的桑爷造型乱真100个赞，好莱坞请给加菲小金人。
其实他自己选择的答案，已经显露在头一句歌词里了。“牢笼还是翅膀，你喜欢哪个？去问飞鸟吧。”
20220517点映，重庆江北百丽宫
我觉得加菲是我今年看过的所有歌舞片里最好的非音乐剧出身的演员了，不过他和希普的声音还是跟哈金斯没法比。
