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.
和老版差不离，连男主选角都一样油腻（颧骨高光）
作为故事铺垫的第一幕马戏团部分有点太长（估计是因为托罗权力过大），大魔王和小白兔都很迷人，可惜角色并没有被剧本深挖，等找原版来对比一下。
我一直坚持觉得作者电影的导演最好看的影片始终都是处女座，因成功获得的资源和声望对创作者也是掣肘。所以在《水形物语》之后这部电影，无疑是一部分人的惊喜和另一部分人的无奈。陀螺他真的玩的很开心哇！
出众的谈判沟通技巧，丰富的同理心，对细节的孜孜以求，果断的危机处理手段和行动力。都是一个好老板的基本素质。这是算低级黑还是高级红？
陀螺怎么能把两个骗子高手过招互相欺诈的故事拍得如此无聊的？又臭又长，毫无悬念，这部电影就像片中的马戏团本身，廉价且过时。
跟影片中的故事一样，影片本身也似乎来自上个世纪，复古的基调，精良的制作，精准的表演，精彩的反转。前半段进展缓慢，需要点耐心仔细留意，男主为自己的未来留下的铺垫，悲剧总是因其不可避免而更让人唏嘘。几位女主和男主都贡献出了一流的演技…
缺的是爱还是恨
陀螺美学集大成，美术设计太强了，故事层面确实可说的不多，中文片名太耽误事儿了，只能说片名也是一种“障眼法”？
这个中译名差点让我以为豆瓣没这个片子。黑暗氛围全程压得不错虽然有些部分过于刻意，但后半截叙事感觉过于着急，开始走下坡路的部分未免也太突兀了

滥用“心理学”？
画面类型片，美是真心美，主黄蓝对撞的光感一绝（办公室和铁囚笼两处尤其明显 / 通过缩小光圈来切镜的复古手法 / 雪夜里冲撞在漫天鹅毛与钢筋骨架之间的逃命小黑车 / 游乐园相关场景的美术设计是极致梦幻的，远景一拉，lights sprinkled in the wild are already telling the story / delicate lonely strikes of piano key / 比起这乏味的故事，本次的观影同伴以及老板针对他的lash out反倒有意思得多得多呢
真的不喜欢Cooper，导致入戏入得很困难。还是觉得气息很陈旧，不知道翻拍的点在于什么，除了纳入陀螺的影像奇观。
对原版结局的改动，虽然更加暗黑，但却丢掉了人物。毫无意义的老片新拍，也就有机会竞争一下装修奖。
第3593-马戏团部分有点长，凯特布兰切出场以后故事才有点意思，男主诠释得不像八面玲珑的骗子，倒确实是个不听人劝的冒险者。
再次验证对陀螺的欣赏无能。只可惜了一票超级大牌。
没看完旧版…太长了吧，转折太慢了吧，装服真的很不错，也有很多伏笔和暗示，演技感觉也没完全发挥…
资本主义旧社会把人变成鬼！很好看呀，画面和音乐都很华丽，是非常抓人的类型片。大魔王气质真的太A了，和男主的对手戏很好看，她的眼神又危险又撩人。库珀在这片奉献了我看过的最好演技，尤其是最后那句“I was born for it.”
华丽的空壳 属于眼睛得到了全方位享受 看完没留下任何余味的那类
这种电影能拿戈雅奖多个奖项，说明西语电影式微。
