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.
音乐好听，主演的代入感不够，始终没有全景。最后的感动还是很让我泪目了。
一開始是吸引人的，即便是屢見不鮮的追夢故事，和對歌舞片形式的大膽創新，和《安妮特》走了一條不一樣的創新路線，再加上一首首好歌、一把把好嗓子，感覺是花了心思、誠意十足的。然而，越往下看，越讓人覺得形式大於內容，時不時跑偏一下，時不時又跑偏一下，就像是直白地告訴我，精力就沒花在重要的地方，所以，無論是追夢之路、情感關係、社會話題，都膚淺地撩一下就跑，充滿了急躁、匆忙的觀感。
可能是因为拍的是音乐剧编剧的传记，能看得出来在刻意保留音乐剧的舞台，限制在了狭窄的空间当中，并且其中一直穿插着演讲式的叙事，也可以体会到创作团队对音乐剧的忠诚。故事其实不太到位，但是频繁出现的音乐又非常出色地弥补了这个缺陷。三十岁一过，代表着人生又进入到下一个阶段，年轻的梦想与追求，要不会顺利地风平浪静或天花乱坠，要不会被现实碾得稀碎。为了自己的事业，我们投入了太多的时间，与朋友和恋人之间的距离逐渐增大，前进的路也在不知不觉中偏离了方向。但给予希望的往往不是自我消化，而是来源于身边所爱之人。时间不够又如何，死于三十五岁又如何，至少没有因为现实而变得媚俗。在离去的那一刻，人生停滞了，但留下的作品，正在这个世界不停地绽放。
本来不太喜欢的。后来还是看哭了。八岁认识的小伙伴才会在大吵一架之后第二天还会出现。我怎么会不在你最重要的场合。所以打动程度远远超过那段游泳池里写出的歌曲。看得懂重要性但情绪铺垫还是俗套且单薄了。关于不停的写下一部。也还好他有才华有运气。但是总觉得也有英年早逝的成分。有时候真觉得冥冥之中自有天意。顺便提一句，好久不见把加菲拍的太奇怪了吧。
艺术是昂贵的，梦想更是，功能名就之前，需要付出的不仅仅是金钱，还有大量的时间和精力，甚至牺牲与身边人正常相处的模式。也正因为这样，梦想实现的时候，才显得那么美妙。可惜这个世界大多数时候都是庸俗的，你的作品很好，但太过文艺，无法变现，你唯一的办法就是继续下去，不断地写新作品，直到等来被大众接受的那天。Jon是个英年早逝的天才，是悲剧也是幸运，还有多少为艺术付出一生的人在被生活逼到最终绝境的那一刻，依旧在角落里默默无闻，唉。
故事，歌曲，表演都不錯，但舞台音樂劇與電影的那種違和感從頭持續到尾
听完《Come to Your Senses》才更新了一首许久无新的电影歌单，够好听但诚不是首惊艳作品，只是看到创作者Jonathan Larson这行便足以回想起这部电影，这本就是我这歌单的初衷嘛。作品本身有个好故事引起了我们的情感共鸣，但可惜没是够棒的好电影呐。

在看游郭篇之前回顾了一下第一季的内容！炭治郎性格真的太爱了 永远积极向上 还特会逗妹妹开心 说话总是满腔真诚 好爱他呜呜
不错的音乐剧，虽然不如《爱乐》，惊讶于加菲的表演，竟然唱得这么好~
一直都只听说过Rent，但没什么了解，原来背后是这样的一段创作经历
同意热评说的，作为音乐电影没有出彩的音乐真的是很致命的问题/
30岁时最好也最让人绝望的一句话就是：你很棒，继续加油。加菲的造型太像大山了
永远可以相信加菲的选片 至今的作品得分就已经足够惊艳了
主角们成长的过程，夸张又卖萌的轻松剧情，无限列车前篇。
百老汇圈为了纪念Jonanthan Larsen的诚意献礼。诚意满满但是LMM做导演不太行…七零八碎地往gig里面塞剧情结果两头都别扭。加菲还是一贯的用力型。Vanessa H 不配。龙套卡司显然是LMM在以导演的借口追星。虽说舞台版的三人表演的灵气是难以复制，电影处理也太僵硬了。
没有大战。但搞笑的桥段基本都集中在这一部。
林聚聚讲故事的方法还是比较简单，冲突的呈现与化解都是很cliche的好莱坞式手法。追逐梦想的故事不胜其数，而Jonathan收获了赞誉却无人为之买单，这令人惊讶的部分似乎平静、习以为常的态度进行了处理，甚至将其余后五年的不如意直接以字幕形式放出。是否拍摄第一部音乐剧的写作会是某种程度的偏题呢？
好像都完成了，但不好看。开头像歌舞片的大通货，中后段的故事又极为省略。倒数计时声串联起的多个时刻间的互文很流畅，加菲的几个唱段唱的不差。但加菲戏路还是太窄了，脆弱焦急都是可信的，但是舞蹈和音乐都不够潇洒，歌舞题材里加菲真的没有优势，太软糯了，演得好，可是不发光。主题和历史深度是高于【马戏之王】，但是从歌舞题材的歌舞表现，特别是男主表演精彩度、歌曲质量都远远弱于【马戏之王】。
很工整的一部电影，加菲及各演员的表现都很棒，音乐也还行。节奏来说稍微有点紧，叙事很复杂的情况下加入了歌舞，总觉得很赶。那段爱情真的很可惜。
