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.
love is love，这题材能在这国家拍出来，更是能上映，我愿给5🌟好评！
印度电影你是我的神 love is everything 有些部分略微拖沓 但 要赶超了
印度电影总能给人惊喜，拍出令人深思的题材和主题
印度现在就已经能拍出同性领养合法化的片子了，Be you那一段简直泪崩
喜剧成分不少，镜头很美，剧情比真雄起有了些许深度
希望中国大银幕里的他们(我们)，不再是《送你一朵小红花》里那样，只能露个手，出现在发黄的旧照片里。
隔壁阿三都能拍出这种电影 里面的gay主真的刻画得很好 男性的甩锅，不负责，抠门，某些时候的无脑体现得淋漓尽致 相爱的两个人，眼神就能看出来是否相爱，天雷勾地火，一触即燃。 嘤嘤嘤，我一外人都磕到了磕到了😭
哈哈哈哈哈还是挺好笑的。电影的社会意义很赞，印度美人好多，男性角色略油腻，歌舞部分好解压😊
如果这是个欧美片，那我觉得有点落俗套了，这可是印度片诶！印度都与时俱进了，再看看我们！
佩服印度人啊！能够这么恰到好处，没有逃避现实问题，基调也很正！
3.5，真希望里面的世界在我们这也存在，形婚成立意味着传统的婚姻观成功地进化，它终于可以是人生合伙人的关系，而不是反人类的爱情的终极；存在不喜欢小孩的gay和不痴迷于自我基因传递的成年人；小孩不再迷恋追求父母辈的认可，至亲的打击固然大，但人生终究是自己的。看到有些感动的地方是骄傲游行那个标语，legalise child adoption for gay couples。道理就是这样，血缘从来就不是bondage的充要条件。
看完《祝贺》，形婚男女主之间的战友情谊，两人被发现居然是男主妈妈撞到女主和女友在床上……最后双方的出柜获得父母理解，共同领养孩子，和伴侣都参加了孩子的祝福仪式。女主和女友在试衣间的小暧昧、女友带着女主参加同志party的放松、日常生活的照顾，以及两人互动间的默契，真是越看越有感觉。
PS:我特喵心态崩了呀，如果这个电影是日本的，是美国的，哪怕是韩国的，甚至是俄罗斯的，我都能心平气静的接受，这他妈的竟然是印度的……我特喵心态崩了呀……
这可能是2022年上半年最棒的一部电影了。讲的故事还是老生常谈的出柜，虽然最后是个大团圆结局。毕竟能看到印度已经往前迈进了那么多了。整部片子笑中带泪。如果你们觉得她无药可救，那我也无药可救了。
发达的地区 结婚非必需，孩子非必需。 形婚都不需要做了。剧中好多笑点。 “queen-queen no future.”hhh
宝莱坞越来越懂观众要看什么了，2018年印度同性恋才合法，时隔三年，同性主题，形婚背景，公职人员，警察，教师，律师，医生就搬上荧幕，不得不说确实前卫！最后也是两个形婚之人双双出轨皆大欢喜。篇幅有点过长了。#电影 #永结同心
祝贺印度 拍出这样的电影
刚看一半，忍不住了，真的好看。你难以相信这是印度片，也难以相信，没有阿米尔汗，印度也能输出这么好的片子。我们都应该学习，冒险和创新的勇气，这才是艺术的价值
宝莱坞已经偷偷变强惊艳所有人了。只要坚定逆行，可嘲讽对象就只剩……了
