这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
从他喝下酒的那一刹那，失败就从此开始了。我猜的是最后他回到原来的马戏团当了怪人，结果原来的马戏团倒闭了。可是他还是成了别人的geek。
完全搞不明白它是怎么打败《倒数时刻》的。陀螺舍弃了故事将重心放在了艺术上，两个半小时废话太多，又是铺垫又是悬念的，挖了一个又一个坑然后告诉你这是个反诈宣传片。看不懂，也不震撼。
过于拖沓了
尴尬 就我觉得时长刚刚好吗 男主要是不是bc可能会更好 bc太正派了 感觉不是那种会没工作沦落到马戏团的life gambler toro的审美还是一如既往恶心又高级 judge和大魔王的打光都特别棒
这是践行三天工作制前的西班牙？为啥能为了评选，还几乎996了呢？主配角从形象到个性都非常鲜明，可人物关系及伴随的冲突又过于简单粗暴。
好在一切在如言灵般的媒介属性极强的台词中获得了结束，从而串联起了这个心理现实。
复古精致，视觉的饕餮盛宴！骗中骗、蛇蝎美人、西装革履的斯文败类、一场阴谋以及一段危险关系，能看出陀螺对好莱坞黄金时代的缅怀与执念。也许是“不合时宜”的电影，但也是如今这个充斥着快餐文化的时代所需要的电影。带着五味杂陈的心情写下这段感受，但也许再过几分钟我就只在乎《奇异博士2》《蜘蛛侠》们到底能不能上？！
中规中矩，整体上就是讲述了命运的循环（geak出现的第一眼，我就猜到这是未来的男主），剧作没什么太大新意，更像是一则有点过时的社会寓言——咱们做人还是得诚实，别搞偷摸抢骗，妹有好果汁吃。

老套的故事，唯一让我感到特别的是心理医生怎么就控制了男主，原来答案还是催眠，但电影里并没有交代。其实这部还是在探讨人性。
个人是挺喜欢托罗的美学的，但实在没什么化学反应噻……属于托罗的那part都有故弄玄虚之嫌。
整部电影的节奏都太慢了，一直在铺垫，铺垫，实在很难坚持看完，要不是陀螺估计直接弃了，当下的世界已经离电影艺术越来越远，在这样的环境下做复古没问题，但是这么陈旧和拖沓，只会离观众更远了
You don't fool people. They fool themselves.
大魔王演精明女就像汤姆汉克斯一样已经没有波澜了……
第一段如果不是小白兔我会以为自己下错了资源，后面就很有趣了，一直在猜片名说的是谁，不过最后我不是很理解就是了，直接去死不是更舒服些吗。
7/10。前半段的马戏团与后半段的通灵术单看其实挺精彩，怪奇物具与幽暗人心都是陀螺的拿手好戏，可合到一起就偏偏变成了四平八稳的警世恒言，差强人意。
收尾相当棒，陀螺拍这种暗黑风格真的拿捏超好。
教科书级的节奏感十足的狗血小品。处理得自在轻盈。丝毫不削弱现实主义意义，得亏用这种表达方式。巴登表演无懈可击。
美术服装很出彩，每个演员都在飙演技。故事情节很简单，没有什么特别的高潮，但并不影响陀螺讲故事的能力。
结尾收的不错，别的感觉除了演员演技，没什么看点。整体叙事节奏拖沓，人物也没立起来，逻辑上不太能自洽，也是有些遗憾。魔鬼也好人也罢，生活嘛总是人与人之间的互相愚弄，得失如何只有自己清楚了。重要的还是保持初心吧，不然下场也不应该好的。
