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.
电影剧情就是套路励志片嘛，歌曲一般吧，算不上多好听。
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。
8.8/10真是近期最爱了，难得看到一部这样的电影，很喜欢影片的节奏和剪辑。 把一个歌舞传记类的电影拍成这样实属不错了，一点都不沉闷，而且穿插剪辑很有趣，节奏把握的很好，情绪推进很厉害，到一个高潮点，回落之后再给你一个小高潮，情绪一直在里边，所以不需要刻意去感动，你也会被里边的情感所感染到。 加菲真是太厉害了，又会唱又会跳又会演，冲个奖项吧。
《吉屋出租》对生活的热爱就像烟花一样绚烂，而乔纳森·拉森就是那个滴答滴答的引信。可惜引信燃尽了自己，却欣赏不到烟火璀璨了。Tick, Tick…，翻译成中文就是“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜”，但与其站在水边伤怀，不如尽情的去绽放一次。9
塑造了纽约氛围下的艺术殉道者，让底层的人们感同身受。一份食物，10块钱，一个订单，就能让他们开心很久。音乐与生活同样丰富，五味杂陈的感觉。
不是我的菜，跟la la land比不是一个量级的。歌很一般，没啥记忆点，调度也没亮点，林的《汉密尔顿》我就不感冒，这部也一样。
LMM给音乐剧的情书。他真的很爱选择“时不我待型”天才啊，乔纳森和汉密尔顿某种意义上是同一类人物，在有限的时间里无休无止地奔跑，仿佛要在死神扣下发令枪前灼烧生命力。前半段是拖延症患者的ddl前倒数记录，影片充斥着焦虑、饥渴、躁动，看得我这个拖延症晚期患者快要跟着屏幕里一起焦虑爆炸了😂 最好的朋友告诉他“我也得了艾滋病，时间不等人的感受我最清楚”，那一刻真是浓烈情感炸弹，tick tick直到这时才“boom！！”加菲我总是串戏天使在美国😂看过rent来看发现了很多创作灵感，停电、蜡烛、合租屋、LGBTQ、艾滋病……遗憾片子没拍到写rent时。看预演会我都跟着兴奋起来，音乐剧就是最伟大的！电影唯一的问题是分不清哪些歌是出自乔纳森原作，哪些是LMM之手，还是希望他老玩票回来后继续写音乐剧啊！
44/365 “希望人生的每一天都这样度过”
银幕和舞台的玩法很难兼容，还是放回舞台上吧……
粉丝向作品，表演刻意，音乐随意，缺乏亮点，强行催泪。
剧情主线单薄，剧中剧的表现形式有帮助避短但效果有限；加菲很努力但这片像音乐剧的感觉还是大大重于像电影，他也像在演剧而不是电影。
其中辛酸，也许身为创作者更感同身受吧，想起自己三十岁前焦虑到离职去写自己的作品，以及现在，废了三年心血的作品还在漫漫无期的打磨中，早已明白了要不停地写下去写下去，已经开始了下一部和再下一部的构思，但意识到自己不能再像曾经一样孤注一掷，必须向现实妥协养活自己。tick tick boom，就是创作者的那份对流逝时间的恐惧和燃尽自身追求一刻灿烂的创作热情吧。
影片高开低走旋律亦然，故事处理着实乏味。
就还好吧，大部分歌都有点平，故事也不够出彩，现在的传记片都不知道拍谁能拍出新意了。。（有点觉得加菲演不了30岁的人了😭
本片是林-曼努尔·米兰达的导演处女作，可以看做是不那么浪漫的《爱乐之城》。
喜欢迈克那条线
用音乐剧讲述音乐剧people创作音乐剧的故事，音乐剧people真是太……算了不说了，多说多错得罪人。
滴答，滴答……嘣！
半自传式呈现音乐剧作家的艺术人生。故事和音乐都不太出色。
给LMM跪了，歌写得好，拍电影居然也这么棒，完美的电影化，超过In the Heights一个La La Land吧
