这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。
An absurdist classic
This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth?, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example: "And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge?' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' ". Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to "keep moving!". Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
传主乔纳森在他那部传世之作《吉屋出租》首演前日去世，他的良师、一代音乐剧巨擘桑德海姆近日也与世长辞，由此本片算是双重祭奠。我以为我会哭，但是我没有。作为一个Rent粉+LMM粉，得到的却是双重失望。虽然电影有个不错的结构，将《倒数时刻》的表演现场与乔纳森的现实生活交织穿插，宛如他本人以上帝视角审视自己的创作心路、注解自己短暂的一生，但段落融合性不强，跳进跳出反而出戏，高潮缺席又令累积的小情绪溃散一地。
影片选择结束于主角30岁生日晚会上蛋糕蜡烛前的一个笑脸，而随后的五年至逝于成名作登台前夕的信息留给了旁白。而这五年，必有他心路的转变、心理的冲突，这些恰恰才是我最想看的啊。无奈影片为了塞进更多的歌舞堆料，将看似充满巧思的叙事主线敲得稀碎，而最终未能讲好一个完整的故事。
hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows
年度惊喜，加菲表演太精彩了，剧情流畅，感情细腻，配乐更是美妙。主角团队演唱的每一首歌都超级好听，故事中透露着力量。导演用的叙事手段很高明和传记本尊故事一样激动人心，紧扣人心。一场无与伦比的视听盛宴。
银幕和舞台的玩法很难兼容，还是放回舞台上吧……
完全没有认出来venessa,想想歌舞青春都是高中时候看的了。非常纽约的musical电影，故事比较平淡但是感觉演员唱跳都很好，就是歌曲都没那么好听
作为传记片来说，形体和表达方式其实非常一般，加菲尽最大的能力在复刻和诠释乔纳森·拉森的半生。胜在情感真挚和每一首音乐都很好听。从默默无名再到生活撂倒，见证一个一个朋友的离去，巨大的声音摧毁了他。加菲的表演很好，好几场戏有闪光。更多的情况我会觉得乔纳森的一生就像胡波，他们都是被锯断腿的大象，一个是无奈而死，后则是无奈而生。音乐电影的魅力就是享受当下，活在当下，足矣。/记忆衰退，毫无感觉。
周日在咖啡馆喝咖啡的SB懒癌，忽悠卖货的无良广告商，前女友哄一哄就好，房租水电别断我马上续费，好基友的逝世，以及要连续不断的创作才能期待卖出作品。这就是剧作家对过往创作史的狠狠吐槽。30了又如何？功成名就的前夜，只是35就挂了，人生真是充满遗憾。7.7
林聚聚还是专心写歌吧……演员和音乐情绪都很到位，但感觉更像是一部舞台剧而不是电影。为了加菲再多给一星。
20220517点映，重庆江北百丽宫
去吧，去过一个被爱被梦想去驱动的人生吧，这很老掉牙，但总比躺平棒！听到了吗，人生的倒计时一刻不停……
不会有人在意才华窒息与梦想坠地的声音，
生活和舞台的虚实切换非常棒，浓缩了生活流，也渲染了情绪。而且作为歌舞剧来说，歌是真的都好听。
炎夏酷暑吹空调看唐顿，没有比这再清凉的事了
十年前，2012年，我仍然记得那晚，妈妈在厨房做凉皮给我吃，我打开了唐顿。
最大问题是没有拍出这个人物的特殊性和独特魅力，反而拍的更像一个纯虚构的励志故事，这是最大的遗憾。
用灵动轻盈的方式拍了一个动人的悲剧故事，一个梵高式怀才不遇的天才如何在困苦中继续奋斗，像所有天才一样被误解被放弃，在最终迎来成功时却又永远离开我们的故事。更悲剧的是这样精彩的本应属于大银幕的音乐剧最后只能在网飞看，这依然是一个快消费才华的时代。
天才、纽约、梦想、年龄、资金、爱情、（同性、艾滋……是些看起来都老套得不行的关键词。可当电影用音乐剧的形式去讲述一个音乐剧作家时，这一切都变得好看起来。音乐真好！（加菲好帅哦～
每一个演员都唱功了得。独白部分都很赞。最喜欢的三首歌是Boho、Sunday和come to your senses。估计没人能对它们说不吧。
富贵大宅子，各有烦心事，一团乐呵呵，送别老贵婆。
