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.
1）中规中矩的合家欢电影；2）适合小朋友，挺有教育意义～

如果只是美好的童话该有多好，那样便只会记得「Stars don't shine they burn.」「You're more than what you're gifted.」「The miracle is you.」
苏莫对《魔法满屋》的观感并不差，简单易懂的主线故事、合家欢的题材，以及林聚聚创作的原声音乐，都是观影的乐趣所在。
本以为魔法屋和外婆背后隐藏着什么黑暗的秘密，然而修复魔法屋的方法竟然是米拉贝去拥抱伊莎贝拉，这剧情是迪士尼动画写出来的？
就老生常谈，但这动效是越做越好了。

设定这么接地气的拉美一家子，干嘛有着魔法还隐居？吃过苦的人开了挂，早琢磨着如何走向人生巅峰了……唱歌段落完全是没有推进的音乐剧场面设计，两句话撑出5分钟，就一首歌像样子。
本片唱的歌也是数不胜数，许多矛盾通过一首歌就解决了，略显生硬。
都什么年代了，迪士尼还以为这种廉价的爱和包容就能打动人心?
在成长这个主题上，迪士尼的坚持始终如一。女主角仿佛就是每个人都觉得不够满意，但终究需要接纳的自我。每个人都需要和家族创伤和解，撕下浮华的假面。架构是有了，可那些过耳即忘的音乐，脸谱化的情感，让魔法也都褪了色。但不得不承认，就像这个摇摇欲坠的古老魔法屋，依然是小镇的灵魂，迪士尼仍然是不可或缺的。
Let It Go，Just Follow Your Heart.
在我看来，这部电影魔法是有的，欢乐是有的，一贯的载歌载舞也是有的，可以说什么都有，就是没有惊喜。虽然它也没有那么糟，但对于精品频出的迪斯尼来说，中规中矩就等于平庸，就等于倒退。
但凡教育意义明显，就算画面太好看，也没用。这是悲哀还是本性呢？讨厌说教是人类本能。
希望迪士尼永远当一个造梦工厂，告诉小朋友一些简单的东西，在这些电影里别再过度解读，别再多想，如果只从纯粹的角度去看，它告诉我们，每个人都可以有不完美，都可以在面对家人时，放下防备。奇迹从来不是我们的能力，而是我们每个人存在的本身。
迪士尼对拉美裔文化的演绎，画面很美（尤其大力士那首歌的表达和场景切换），故事很套路，原本应该是很深刻很黑暗，为了适应儿童市场强行降智、美化和简化。主角的几首歌反而很一般，是怎么回事，水平不行但是斗争厉害的创作者拿到话语权了么。
i cried. it was good.
女性权力结构中心制的一次欢快臆想，有先进的表达，但人物关系的勾连和转折，人物矛盾的消解、和解，显得有些牵强，和摸不着头脑了。故事最核心的主题表达，大概是家庭的圆满和团结，孤立、排解，令全家的魔法逐渐消失，当掌权的女性，开始为了家族利益，而选择区别对待，也意味着土崩瓦解的开始。最终，拯救家族故事的，是一个不会魔法的“麻瓜”、一位女性，当然她也是家族中的异类，被孤立，被冷落，但最终，完成了一场家族的复兴运动。全片充满的性别表达，是美式主流文化和价值观的一次“特意”安排和推广。当然，当政治正确开始凌驾于故事之上，就多少令人物的发展和人物关系的推进，显得有些匪夷所思了。PS：近年，迪士尼动画，转向关注异族群体，其他国家与民族，俨然，已超越肤色人种范畴，推广更多元包容的价值观和宣导美式主流价值形态。
麻瓜拯救霍格沃茨？这是一个对抗内卷的故事，平凡并不是什么错，但也不需要靠拉踩优秀者来证明。迪士尼把同样的内核反复用不同的民族和文化来打包，可真流水线。5
Today's rate is 6.5, and it will be getting higher and higher from today on— when it got Oscar, just three hours ago.
