A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.
东木老爷的电影还是要看的，看一部少一部，且看且珍惜吧。
这一路看老爷子下来见证了他老去的过程——一点点和自己和解，和世界和解，和人生和解，锐气终化为了柔和。他说「我不知道怎么治愈老」，尚存的一丝哀叹也只有童话得以抚慰了。
为什么那么多老少配的电影 还都那么难看啊？
风味是有些，尤其是墨西哥娘们儿，内容就呵呵了。
老头没了年轻的锐气，好在脾气仍在。macho表演满分。
一个饱经风霜，被生活洗尽铅华，早已参透“硬汉”不过虚名，外表弱不禁风，内心坚如磐石；一个渴望温情，却过早熟悉冷漠，妄图伪装“硬汉”对抗世界，看似叛逆独立，实则脆弱无助。这样两个“表里不一”的家伙，被一只名副其实的“硬汉”牵线搭桥，并目（依）睹（靠）其在危机中力挽狂澜，如此设定无奈中透着几分戏谑与豁达。当二人一鸡的旅途行至终点，孤老寻得归宿，顽童走向成熟，观众也被传递了一波生活的真谛。剧本结构简单得就像一则小品，叙事上却依然有着老派的沉稳大气，节奏娓娓道来，丝毫不觉乏味。年迈的他在表达上愈发温和，也正呼应了片中的角色，对人生的回顾和总结与《骡子》异曲同工，难怪又要亲自出演。虽有力不从心，亦是甘之如饴。无论如何，能在银幕上看到老爷子的身影就是一种奢侈。牛仔离不开马背，东木永远属于片场。
90岁的主演，伊斯特伍德破纪录了吗？虽然电影拖沓，银发驯马师、押镖客算是开拓老年生活新方式。
东木好像在说自己骑了好多的马开过好久的车，如今男子气概早就不重要了，真想找个地方好好的安静的生活啊。
沒想像中的差，但總還是希望東木爺繼續拍下去，就算只是這種簡單的小品也行...
这是一部“停留”片，不是延展。多一星当然是给伊斯特伍德。
电影很工整，美墨边境完全成了老爷子大片的背景板，特别是有些部分是直接能拿去当广告的程度，在这方面东木还是游刃有余，故事上就偏平淡了，每次危机来临就瞬间结束，加上年事已高，驯马镜头也用了替身，不过老爷子的状态是真的好啊！
老爷子的内心很柔软，所以一切的呈现都是偏温柔的童话的美好的，视觉上倒让那只活力的公鸡抢足了戏。
重复，老套，无聊，中庸，煽情。好莱坞典型代表！似乎男艺术家人均恋父，女艺术家人均恋母！
电影本身很淡很简单。能够看到老爷子还在拍电影就好温暖，
老爷子九十多岁了依然还拍着，依然是那么细腻的情感。
需要矛盾与冲突的地方都可以猜出来，每一个铺陈之后都没什么意外。不过，还是佩服东木大爷。
这么大岁数了真不容易！还得演副线的感情戏。哈哈哈。老当益壮。
战战兢兢瞅着东木的一举一动，生怕他闪着腰。能导能演还能说什么？挥了一次拳，骑了马，在公鸡帮助下抢了一次枪。
东木暮年，让人唏嘘。希望老爷子能好好享受生活。
画内:Miko无法治愈老。
