剧情介绍

  Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
  If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
  [Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
  To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
  More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

  In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
  (Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
  I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

    题材很老套,演员还行,制作还算认真,看完还是感觉很憋屈

    前半部爸爸陪着看的,后半部妈妈陪着看的,结尾居然给我看哭了。好喜欢天天带着小萌鸡找回火车站的一段

  • 危景同 1小时前 :

    朴素丹如果走动作戏的路子也是可以的。谁能不喜欢酷酷的开宝马的女孩呢?而且车技还是赛车手级别的。剧情还是比较套路的,小男孩刚出场的时候就知道酷女孩的软肋出现了。虽然知道女主为了救小男孩会付出不小代价,但是没想到代价这么大。第一场小巷追车戏和最后的打斗戏都挺好看,用起子当武器很帅气,只是我看得肉疼。如果小男孩没那么弱就好了,并不是所有主角走入绝路都必须安排一个角色变弱智的,这方面剧情讲究一点就更好看了。

    女主耐看,前有大叔萝莉之鉴,现有正太御姐之范

    现在大概也只有韩影才愿意拍也拍的出这么出彩的大女主戏

  • 文栋 9小时前 :

    女版《大叔》老套动作片,放在前十年倒是还不错。由此片可以看出脱北者在韩国人心里是什么样的,一出现这三个字,不管是一个打十个还是刀枪不入都是合理的。从一开始就觉得配乐有点熟,到结束才想起来,很像是快银的bgm啊

  • 丰银瑶 6小时前 :

    想做成女版《大叔》+《这个杀手不太冷》,甚至反派这哥们连衣服都穿的加里奥德曼那一套,可是能力不行啊,剪辑剪的些什么玩意?该快的时候墨迹,该慢的时候乱,模仿没问题,看困了就说明你差了

  • 慧栀 0小时前 :

    有点像音乐剧,有教育意义,知道外面的世界危险与诱惑并存,善良的人真的很温暖,升华——就算希望像尾巴尖一样小,也绝对不能放弃。

  • 康秀逸 3小时前 :

    也太能打了 男主的吐槽真的搞笑,难怪说是脱北朝的

  • 刘清秋 0小时前 :

    两场车戏的调度真牛逼,中规中矩的韩国商业片,但大陆还是望其项背

  • 少罗绮 6小时前 :

    大部分情节都是可以想见的,但执行的还不错。好几部韩国影视里对曹县逃出来的女孩都有种奇妙的想象,冷、狠、生存能力超强……

  • 山晓灵 8小时前 :

    脱北者就默认身怀绝技嘛,是不是一种刻板印象

  • 卫勇 3小时前 :

    女版的玩命快递,题材不新,但是效果还行,小眼睛女孩子竟然是个利索的脱北者,开车还这么酷,爽就完了。这个背景音乐真带劲啊

  • 勇振 2小时前 :

    故事架空,但飙车还蛮厉害的,估计会有特送宇宙?
