Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
胶袋不是用来装垃圾而是用来练憋气，奖牌不是用来换钞票而是用来当金器。他怕跑步让母亲太辛苦，母亲因他不跑才辛苦。既然起跑时的人生时已经慢了，更要在后半程发力冲向终点。履带运送了母亲的绝望，跑道证明了儿子的不凡。这条路不是简单的路，他也从来不是普通的人，她却是简单普通却有神力的母亲。
张继聪、梁仲恒、杨伟伦和胡子彤等演员，贡献了真实而又接地气的演技。
看起来很炮灰，实则是下半年院线观影的小惊喜；和Hulu马上季终的《大楼里只有谋杀》形成好玩的比对，也算是另重意外。固定空间的情节展开，几个互相关联的悬念和数个角色围绕着房间的延伸；因为故事体量维持在一个合适的水平，就感觉从开头到结束都有种简洁的合适（而且这里没有让人PTSD的「白纸黑字」，也算ok了）。范伟和张颂文一如既往地稳定，但印象更深刻的是窦骁好像早已失踪、片中却渐渐地在追回的演技。
纯粹的黑色幽默犯罪片，完成度还不错，窦骁是惊喜。
如果配乐没那么满，煽情点少一点，可能会更好。
中规中矩的悬疑片，范伟是被小品埋没多年的影帝级演员。
中间偏后的部分一度很搞笑 其余都是只有黑色没有幽默 拍成短片还行拍个电影让人感觉有些迷惑 有些松散 张颂文这个角色完全没什么发挥啊 全片都一个表情
金牌得主后的朴实生活，不普通的双重定义。每个起点低的人在片中看见自己，找到共鸣感，起点低才是我一直向前冲的动力。望着妈妈，你的缺憾落难，我是你人生舞台的观众。
看到最后发现是真人世纪改编，讲述了残疾运动员的不容易，以及社会对他们的不公，他们一生下来就被关上了正常的大门，还能如此努力，拼搏，不是应该更加得到社会的关心，关爱吗？正能量电影，久违的泪水。
既然所有人都当你不是普通人，那你就当一个不普通的人
整部电影的节奏把控非常好，张弛有度。配乐大部分时间突出对白而留白，在需要的时候音乐响起得恰到好处，瞬间提升紧张程度。慢镜头的运用和类似唐人街探案的爆炸长镜头的运用，也在紧张剧情发展过程中带入一些轻松和喘息。
与《两杆大烟枪》、《疯狂的石头》此类多线并行的作品不同，此片是线索逐个展开。前者会让观众拥有全知视角，后者则是拨粽子，不到最后你不知道里面是什么馅。不过可以看出导演有戏仿宁浩的地方，比如虾毛的造型神似《疯狂的赛车》里的高博，还有最后爆炸的横移镜头。
死者、凶手、外卖员…房主、公司老总+助理打手…
励志 认定自己与别人不同就不同…没什么要过自己那一关
寻常生活中的不寻常，很多故事其实不需要多么华丽，故事本身就值得记录和传播。
超喜欢这种发生在一间屋的悬疑片，加上中式喜剧效果，整场下来观感轻松又烧脑，果然小空间最容易强调角色间的矛盾，关系表面上丝丝分明，实际错综复杂，这种种都是对演员导演编剧的一个挑战。
昨日观影记录
寻常生活中的不寻常，很多故事其实不需要多么华丽，故事本身就值得记录和传播。
临睡前的沙发电影。本来想找一部轻松的喜剧片来看，看了一半的时候突然被问：「这真的是喜剧吗？」我自圆其说地说到：「黑色幽默，也算是幽默吧。」其实还可以，没有6.7分那么差，但是这么好的卡司、不逊色的剧本、以及很棒的剪辑拍摄，却只是拍出了一个低配版的《疯狂的石头》，可惜了。一个入室行窃的小偷、一个离职警官、一个假冒的外卖员、一个风骚小三、一个赚不义之财的小老头、两个不太聪明的人贩子，从一次临时的入室偷窃、到一桩看似情杀的凶案、再到一场阴差阳错的贩卖儿童的交易。段落式的反转剧情、剧情和人物在每一次的倒叙中抽丝剥茧，前半部分的节奏很好，但是后半部分 总有一种为了反转而反转的感觉，突然间让整个故事都没那么灵了。谢幕的时候发现导演居然身兼编剧、摄影和导演三个职位，期待如此有才华的他可以带来更好的电影。
整体情节、节奏、叙事还是挺不错的，比较话剧剧本杀的感觉，个别小细节有点小瑕疵，但反复重述带来新的反转，加重的呼吸节奏增加紧张气氛，整体剧情大于喜剧，部分细节以为自己猜到了，结果和自己想的不一样还蛮加分的。范伟表现顶得起大梁，窦骁比想象中出彩还不错。看的时候莫名想到《局外人》，虽然不一样，但莫名还是感叹普通人荒诞的悲剧。
