Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
好久没看这么纯粹的歌舞片了。哭了。。加菲太有才华了,LMM也完全不像一个新手电影导演
因为是真实故事加一星,而且我还真的看过吉屋出售的音乐剧。整体是音乐剧形式的演出。
我依然被这部电影打动了
永远向不被生活打败,为了自己的热爱,自己的梦想坚持奋斗的致敬
动画之于电影,电影之于音乐剧——绝对是利大于弊。另外很喜欢他朋友的段落,激发灵感、激发情感、激发问题,而问题恰是死亡无法掩盖之物的答案。不过影片的音乐(尤其前半部分)不是我菜。P.S. 加菲从头含泪至尾,心疼了心疼了。
LMM第一部导演长片成功了!很励志!很感人!加菲真的很强!
好喜欢啊,一开场的30/90就抓住了我的心,因为我也刚好29岁,真的滴答滴答的声音一直在耳边响起,被时间被时间的观念所追着跑的感觉真的好强烈,每一幕都很流畅剧情和歌都配合的很好,对音乐剧多了一份好奇,是本年度最喜欢的电影之一。电影与音乐剧结合真的好好,加菲没想到这么能唱,能看出来为了角色准备了很多,演绎上我觉得是满分的答卷了。
3.5 音乐很行,剧情比较割裂,人很可惜。
前女友拍了爱乐之城,加菲哥是想着不甘人后也来这么一部吗?可惜他音乐感不太好的样子,反倒觉得凡妮莎出彩。
如果和加菲前女友的《爱乐之城》对比,我可能会更喜欢这一部一点点,当然总的是差不多的。
看他的表演录像比看电影更感动。特别纽约。谁不是一边自嘲着一边执着呢,可惜现在聪明人全都去搞金融和写码了。
传记加歌舞电影更是容易产生浓厚的割裂感,大概更适合舞台,适合突破第四面墙来面对面的共鸣
三星半。理想主义拖延症患者是如何逼疯自己在deadline前交作业的,这个我可太知道!天才第九十九次努力。唉,加菲总是只能让人停留在小伙不错的表演,就总差口气~很多歌还挺有意思的,但说不上打动人~
说实话对这类音乐剧电影并不太喜欢。但有一段打动到我 男主回忆自己小时候和朋友在学校里排练唱歌 说 “希望人生每一天都这样度过。”虽然长大后的生活一地鸡毛 但或许会有一件事让你愿意不跟随主流 走入那条看似体面光鲜的上升路径 为主角纯粹而美好的理想主义感动。6.5
至少可以
但事实更多是终其一生努力活成一个普通人。
尽管它依旧是以俗套的叙事方式,但是从快速剪辑、加菲的奇思妙想的表演与这一代人的困惑给这部电影纳入了新的生命。
今年我三十岁了。客观事实不以人的意志为转移…因为自己绝对属于不认真生活的那一挂,所以总是会被认真活着努力追梦的人打动…并且还有那么好听的音乐。
生活和舞台的虚实切换非常棒,浓缩了生活流,也渲染了情绪。而且作为歌舞剧来说,歌是真的都好听。
比《安妮特》还要如坐针毡。之前已经决定如果一部电影没办法在30分钟之内让我看进去,就果断放弃,拒绝再浪费时间看烂片。然而我为这片子坚持了一个小时,忍耐力的进度条还是烧完了。第一,节奏混乱,作为歌舞片歌不好听。第二,加菲表现得太arrogant了,为艺术疯癫不代表要arrogant,他的招人烦导致看不下去。第三,一直打破第四面墙太突兀了,不要一言不合句就直视观众好吧,恰好看完《福尔摩斯小姐》没多久,正处于极度anti打破第四面墙的阶段。【∞】
