A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.
What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
阳光明媚，舒服得一塌糊涂的那种电影，每一个角色都无比可爱，就连他们家住的房子我都很喜欢。
还有，女儿用手语为他们一家翻译歌词的场景…
旦除非你做好本分 否则我什么也做：
聋哑人家庭里唯一的健全孩子真是一个新颖的切入点，亲情羁绊和追求梦想之间的冲突其实是比较俗套了，但原生家庭的巨大困境赋予了这个故事更厚重的情感，无论女主如何选择似乎都可以理解，当然影片最终还是让家庭成员之间达成和解迎来一个皆大欢喜的结局。新颖的角度和演员们出色的演技让这部心灵鸡汤的治愈度很高，但似乎也没有好到拿奥斯卡最佳影片的地步。
女儿问妈妈你是不是希望我生下来就是个聋子，父亲听不到只能看女儿的歌唱最后只能摸着她的脖子听她唱歌。挺好的。我挺喜欢这种慢电影。
剧本完成度确实高但是在改编里干得过《犬之力》《甘草披萨》《驾驶我的车》吗……得益于原文本优秀，考试段落家人的主观听觉设计真的很感人，而且听不到音乐的家人与孩子的关系实际上就是对家人不理解孩子抱负的隐喻，这些都相当精准但非美国版原创。以及，喜欢的男孩突然倒追自己，家人创业突然成功，没怎么练习音乐突然考上伯克利……精妙的点子都被这些偷懒给稀释掉了
鸡汤片真好看，每个人物、节奏都无比精准、催泪
一顿暴哭，无数个戳人心的细节。我们在健全人的世界中直到合唱表演被掐断声音才能瞬间感觉到拥有听说能力的幸运。小镇起早的打渔少女、唱歌的少女、跳水游泳的少女，每个形象都充满健康青春的美。
可视的声音、可触摸的声音，静默在其中远比讲话更有力量，“力透纸背”，势如破竹。同时又是那么温柔、美妙、蓬勃，充分地去相信爱，相信和解。
选歌和表演各占成功的一半，手语版的both sides now恐怕Joni Mitchell也看了泪流吧
最值得表扬的是全片都是用轻松的感觉来表达。果然啊，真诚就是面对万物最好的方式。（但是不知道是我下载资源的质量问题还是影片本身，每次在家庭暖光之下镜头总是过度饱和，有点难受…）
古早美式強行愈療大團圓。被一個寄予愛情想像的新朋友以這種程度出賣，最後還能相愛未免太輕巧了吧。Ruby和家人在傳譯這事上的關係更像是一個相處了比較長時間的手語志願者而不是家人。比如隨口就能說出“你自己去問啊”，還有家人來參加自己的第一次歌唱演出卻對家人聽不到這事完全無感，把手語傳譯歌唱內容這個設計硬生生留到考伯克利才呈現出來。以至於看到母親說出曾希望Ruby也是聽障，這樣一家人都是一樣的，還有哥哥Leo咆哮我們不是弱者的時候，都沒有感受到預期的衝擊(因為之前有在播客裡聽過關於該片的討論)。
紧接着看部渔业阴谋压压惊，结果没压住。。。
最有感觉的是ruby在车背后给老爸唱歌的那段 老爸摸着她震动的喉咙 我眼泪刷就下来了
简简单单的音乐喜剧片，“当梦想和现实碰撞，选择哪一条路走”几乎是全世界有梦青少年都会遇到的艰难抉择，只要被你信赖的人支持走下去，梦不一定成真，但至少能上路。喜欢片中的温情感，家常感，还有很好听的OST。
#94奥提BP男配改编剧本 表演很减分，就没感觉谁演的好，剧本中规中矩，有几场戏很尴尬。刚刚看了看预测，如果这得bp也太尴尬了吧，不过这届奥斯卡能打的真的太少了...
艾米莉亚琼斯也太棒了吧！前途无量啊！一查信息发现她年龄比我还要小！啊这！
每个人都有权利追逐梦想，尤其是在你非常有天赋的时候。即使你需要思考很多可能阻拦你前行道路的问题，但是，如何突破阻拦才是你真正要思考的事，尤其是在有家人支持的时候，什么困难可能都不会是困难。
观影时几度落泪。「你跟我不一样，你勇敢多了。」沉默的争执和和解，用手语唱出对家人的爱。
剧情老套 人物扁平 笑点无聊 摄影和配乐也没有出彩的地方
