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.
开头挺惊艳，到后来却不再细致营造空间恐怖。脱胎怪物口中吐出的“爱”，也不过是虚无的符号。
这就是女人生存的世界，男人编织起让人窒息的网。你以为世界多元他们各自不同，才不是呢。他们是共脑共体的存在。里面的苹果、乌鸦、雌雄同体图腾到男人单体繁殖全都是男人最终的YY以此构建的贬低女人的社会。当女人举起斧头不在恐惧不在内疚，所有这些桎梏不堪一击。
高司令挺适合这种冷面杀光所有挡路的极不正确的非传统英雄，和安娜互相吐槽的部分也不错，但求求好莱坞别再拿无人机拍动作场面了。
不能说百分百看懂，但作为性别女代入感非常强，分叉手和连环生子很有意思，对女性身体、道德、子宫的钳制，不确定女主遇到的男人们代表不同阶段的前夫，还是只是嘲讽男人们都是一个样，最后怀孕的闺蜜现身，将性别和人的矛盾拉至最高
就那样吧，在网飞的天价自制电影目录中，惊天营救>此片>鬼影特攻>红色通缉令。美队离开漫威，几乎丧失了自己的角色属性
谍影重重式的兔死狗烹+飓风营救式的人质解救+死侍式的街头枪战大爆破+第一滴血疾速追杀会计刺客伸冤人小人物式的独行侠复仇大屠杀，整个一大杂烩四不像。不过有一说一，安娜确实美。
creepy版《一个女人的逃离》，很好最后并没有走向性别对立。各种隐喻和诗歌，随处可见的阴道的象征，令人耳目一新的自然以及自然所孕育的一切恐怖与美丽，for beauty hath created been. T' undo, or be undone。最精彩的段落便是无限男性自体生殖循环，没有女人参与的怪物轮回，visually compelling and viscerally haunting and sexually awakening
不值得花时间看。故事老套逻辑莫名其妙，画面没啥美感演员自己可能都觉得无趣。
剧情看不出亮点，动作戏每次都在我马上要激动起来的时候没了，看的一点都不爽
给多一星是因为布拉格那场，实在不错，近年令我眼前一亮的动作场景！按结局来说，应该会有第二部的
在我心里，男主永远是那个操过猪的英国首相。
高司令还是很养眼的，穿衣显瘦，脱衣有肉。
美队怎么扮凶狠他那个样子就是狠不起来，还是算了吧。又是飞遍全球又是炸遍东欧最后搞出了个啥名堂，就为了哈佛校友争权夺位吗？Please！小女孩suppose是所有人软肋但是小姑娘是在有点过了。
不否认有其风格和立意上的独到之处，虽然但是……是有多厌男和恐男才能拍出这么个玩意儿？
这破本子就应该拿给汤姆克鲁斯/马特达蒙/丹尼尔克雷格擦屁股，也只有奈飞拿它当个宝。
前面氛围整得还行，特别是树林游荡、隧道那一段。可惜这种又美又瘆得慌的feel没有坚持多久。后面的展开垮掉了，重复啰嗦。好在结尾有高能。
与加兰的前作手法类似，靠大量镜头运动和紧张的配乐营造惊悚诡异的气氛，《男人》相对弱化了其前作的科幻元素，反倒更突岀心理惊悚，美丽的乡村风景，开阔的空间反倒更放大了这种诡异感，而遇到的千人一面的男性其实是不同层面的恐惧外化，套娃生殖的部分确实是很刷新观感，但是这种设计还是感觉不如他之前作品里面科幻概念铺设的完整，还是更喜欢《湮灭》这种气质的作品。（7.5/10）
虽然作为一部动作类型片，它的故事和角色都不是重点，但本片在这两方面也实在是太过薄弱了，高司令和安娜的角色纯粹就是剧情推动和打架机器，故事写到后面重心甚至都有所偏移，使得观众很难建立起情感链接。动作戏在导演和足够充足的预算的支撑下倒是有所保障，就是不知道为什么这次罗素兄弟很执着于采用特写甚至是POV的形式去拍一些大场面和高速追逐戏，一些转场也过多采用了高速无人机来拍摄，可能在大荧幕上看会更有意思，但在小荧幕上看起来显得很奇怪。
哇哦，罗素兄弟还是回去拍漫威吧，毕竟那边剧情不需要太有脑子
作为feminist horror可以影史留名了
