You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
一段延续20年的钟情会带给人什么？也许因为不伦的孤独，反而无坚不摧地延续，却僵化到害人害己…因为认为某人某事“最好”而抓住不放，失去了所有“平常”的可能。男孩所谓“报答母亲”也异化到恐怖的地步，而缺乏理由。一切为图解剧情奇观而行动的人物都是可怜的，上帝之手未能使他们成活。
连贯性不是很好，卷福演的挺好，可能从前演过的角色太深入人心了吧，导致感觉上形象太过英伦范儿，看上去今年也是要拿影帝的节奏啊。其实这个男主更适合马修麦康纳来演。
我去，到底卷福是怎么死的。小卷腹炭疽了老卷福
好吧，让我们一起sit tight and assess。
好久没看到人类成功灭亡的电影了，所以要给满分，希望这一天早日到来。
个人感觉有点形式大于内容啊，唯一的亮点就是福尔摩斯露diao，哈哈哈。。。
不算我喜欢的那类电影，但剧本表演摄影剪辑全满分，挑不出毛病。最初看到男主手搓花蕊，我以为是在暗示他后面要和女主啪啪啪，没想到剧情发展成那样。
男权社会杀男人的故事，恐同果然是深柜，为了追求所谓的“男性气质”深深掩藏住孤独和欲望。通篇低沉的音乐特别压抑，有几场特写特别来劲：卷福裸身躺在阳光下，从裆里掏出BH汗巾子细细摩挲，假装皮肤间的触碰；罗斯换到手套后在夕阳下跌跌撞撞欢欣向前；皮特解剖时冷静的侧脸，最后一夜递烟时那种撩人、面对猎物撒网的眼神；第二天英俊的马抖动着皮肤和鬃毛引人遐想。片中也有多处性暗示，揉捏纸花花心、抚摸擦拭马鞍、两人独自外出时立木桩子……卷福表演佳，第一次换上西装时气质陡然一变，成了无助、脆弱、有弱点（有爱）的人。
"Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog."
奥斯卡瞎了只给了最佳导演，还欠最佳改编剧本和最佳男配。（搬钢琴想起《钢琴课》，原来是同位导演）。每日所见的门前巨山，暗藏张口欲吞的黑犬。人性裂缝里的巨大阴郁与暗火幽微，磨爪，绷到最后一环才释放张力，赞最后一夜那幕马棚点烟，又一史册级含蓄拨炭火撩欲不脱衣的名场面。。各怀孤独，各去乖僻，蛇吞大象的果断，野兔也没有逃路。能看的出后面有个优秀文本支撑，已经很想看小说了。因为看到打了同性标签，打算看色情戏的人会失望了。。。可以二刷的片，4＋
看似man得要死的爷们 结果也有弯弯的柔情
一度以为是the ballad of John and Yoko and Paul and Brian，没想到这么颠覆，摄影美得像数字版的天堂之日
看完想了很久为何如此让我反胃，想来无非是用力过度+全员纸板人+亚裔风评被害，导演仿佛拿个清单把元素一个个打勾再把人设推到最相反一面就完事，全然忘却以往自己讽喻作品的成功都立于人设的复杂多面。社交平台哪个不是撑疫苗撑气候变化声浪巨大，科技巨头哪个不是自带社交牛逼症讲台舌灿莲花支持环保转头去建地堡，科学家发的推特串堆起来够发文章然后为头的几个反复横跳，甚至乜都懂总统也可以被按头要人搞疫苗，这些言行不一前后反转才是最屎忽鬼的部分，结果导演说我不要你觉得我要我觉得、言行不一的部分统统反转180度完事，再加上诸如不明说总统是哪党的但是不停cue尼克松画像这种自诩高明实则用烂的狗哨，疑似带资进组除了沟女毫无作用的甜茶线，鸡贼地塞进一个靠关系上位的东亚女一个背刺女友的西亚男，只能说希望不是就此江郎才尽咯
“求你救我的灵魂脱离刀剑，救我的生命脱离犬类。Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dogs.”
克制到极致的压抑情绪缓缓流淌，精雕细琢般的镜头处理，细节略有设计感，但埋的很精美。浓郁粗犷的西部氛围，在弦乐的加持下，神秘且不安。本以为重心在同性题材，却在结束后陡然发现所有的线牵起的终点是如此暗潮汹涌，以至于再回头去细细品味那些细枝末节，都多了一层独特气质，就像凝望一头困兽深邃的眼神。
执念于过去仰慕的对象 在漫长无望的孤独岁月里再次遇到的安慰却是一场纯粹的复仇谋杀 越品越美
连贯性不是很好，卷福演的挺好，可能从前演过的角色太深入人心了吧，导致感觉上形象太过英伦范儿，看上去今年也是要拿影帝的节奏啊。其实这个男主更适合马修麦康纳来演。
但凡这种脑力激荡，狂喷的电影都容易烂尾，麦凯算把电影安全着落在灾难片的心理舒适区。论收尾就是麦凯和库布里克最大的差距。
戏份分配过于不均，导致小男孩在前半部影片基本没有表现空间，只有最后25分钟比较值得玩味。所谓的“克制”，更多表现为半遮半掩，不用对白直接表达是可以的，但是镜头明明应该给到更多信息，比如小男孩当着卷福的面绞死兔子的画面，现在这个半遮半掩的镜头语言既没有冲击力，也没有含蓄的韵味
