You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
2022年1月9日看过，极好的黑色暗喻。借着一颗毁灭地球的陨石，暗喻着整个政商媒体权力体系。其实陨石可以看作是气候变暖。电影里的总统既有克林顿女士的身影，又有佩林的影子，而科技大佬既有乔布斯又有马斯克还有贝索斯的影子。最令人唏嘘的几点：1.讲出一个明确的事实，竟然先需要咨询法务，还需要媒体培训，而这竟然是一个纽时编辑劝告两位科学家的；2.所有人都已经适应了将严肃报道轻松化的氛围之后，已经没有了严肃新闻得到严肃关注的氛围，所有上节目的人都是为了抖机灵，获得更多的关注度，因为所有人需要的都是FUN，而不是事实了；3.NASA局长竟然是总统的大额捐助者和麻醉师出身，太嘲讽当代美国政治了；4.总统在科技大佬面前的唯唯诺诺；5.看似稳重可靠的三星将军，用白宫免费的零食骗了科学家20美元，毫无羞愧感。存于硬盘8/美国电影/2022
前期不知道要干嘛，好难专心，复盘才发现不动声色的铺线太戳中我，很想在院线看了
SH封控timing看它，绝了，你搞不清你在戏里，还是你在看戏。
一个彻头彻尾的悲剧。在以“坚硬无情”为猎标的男性气质完全笼罩的荒凉土地上，一切浪漫、美好和柔弱的事物都会走向死亡。人们在这样的荒凉中逐渐畸变。两个男性不管是以粗砺还是以柔弱示人，内在贯彻的都是“以牙还牙以血还血”的残酷法则。
好惨一Phil，勤劳苦干被人设套毒害。
太隐秘太克制了
不得不承认最后一段拍得太牛逼了，马厩内抽烟的手指上全是戏，单说人与人之间情感的微妙含蓄高级感，这一段真是教科书中的教科书。
看到最后才明白，虽然菲力身上有缺点，却是这堆人里最单纯而正常的人。他的死更让人看见深藏在他性格里的可爱和真诚。而另外三个人，都是戴着好人面具的可怜人：一个是油滑的趋炎附势，一个是懦弱的一蹶不振，而儿子，从骨子里散发着令人窒息的阴毒和变态，这种性格养成源于他病态的母亲，而菲力竟然一眼就看穿并抛出橄榄枝。虽然他的外在形象和表达方式放现在来看不太政治正确，但这些也只是他迫于当时社会环境的伪装而已。除了他自己，没有人看到过他的内心。
故事沉闷无趣，摄影僵硬无生机，当然也可能是人家的特点，起初看的不知所云，耳朵里又都是父母的喋喋不休，废话连篇，心烦意乱，看到后面才好像明白了是什么故事，更是困意难耐。
爱可以救人，也可以摧残一个人，既如刀剑般锋利，也如阳光般温煦。
我们拍《流浪地球》。美帝拍《不要抬头》。认清楚吧，电影的本质就是自娱自乐，谁都叫不醒谁，开心就好。
张力十足的作品，舒缓的音乐与画面下暗潮汹涌的爱恨。
本来要煽牛，但是三分之二时间都在磨刀，最后把牛杀了
波米说这部电影建构了“新集权”框架——第四权力下放，大数据、流量经济、官能刺激绑架议程设置→后真相时代，信息战与认知战、转移焦点、“等反转” ——也是搭建在对人类这一认知之上的必然，所以彗星最终也必然落下。
（圣经《诗篇》22:20）
多疼痛啊 不希望所有人做哑巴 但我自己永远不勇敢
#美少年为助母摆脱困境，色诱巧殺深情深柜叔叔？
好吧，让我们一起sit tight and assess。
看了感觉还行 结局很喜欢 但是5星太多 4.5最多
中年大叔：这种不再是单身的感觉，实在太美妙了。
