Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
歌好听，故事还行
从另一个角度写911事件的加拿大音乐剧，二十几位中老年专业音乐剧演员展现了精彩的技艺，值得观看。有点像我们5、60年代看的法国电影《四海之内皆兄弟》一样，展现了灾难面前人类的团结、奋斗精神。在豆瓣评论中看到一篇讲述911事件全过程的记述，则是我的最大收获。会转到朋友圈和微博，供有兴趣的朋友阅读。
ohhh my god 我理想中的gentleman
西方敏感题材，个人实在无法一样地共情，只能说确实月圆，或许上海能做的更好，西安肯定不行。
一个历史事件里的边缘小故事，我得说美国在这方面的表达方式更接近我的点大概。音乐非常棒，故事群像也做得清晰明了。一度在过程里哽咽，确实明白发生过什么，也为人性里的柔软的力量感动。
没想到有一天，我也会对这种配置的影片内心毫无波澜甚至有点乏了。浪漫会在生活中出现吗
想去Newfoundland看看
五星。真好，舞台剧的魅力，荧幕电影给不了，荧幕电影的优势，舞台剧也比不上。它们没有优劣之分，当这两种艺术载体从平行线交汇到一起时，就有了《来自远方》，很多没有机会条件看现场舞台剧的观众，可以通过一块相对廉价的屏幕，体验到之前难得的体验。
太好看了吧！每个角色都很有性格有记忆点，台词唱段幽默动人，陌生人之间的善意真美好。
210912 - “Tonight we honor what we lost, but we also commemorate what we found.”说什么好像都嫌多，就期待未来国内能有这样质量的原创剧场吧。我们也有很多闪耀着人性光辉的时刻，它们值得以各种方式被铭记。
四次见面层层深入，讲了情与欲的因果关系。
▫️循规蹈矩，职业普通，生活普通，婚姻普通，不太喜欢自己的孩子，自卑里又带点自负，缺乏冲突感的女主设定确实光滑又无趣。但这样的妇女，不也非常典型比比皆是吗，难道就不值得一说了吗。并不是那些有惊世骇俗故事的人，才可以讨论欲望的啊。
完美剧作！作为中国女性，恐怕直面真实的欲望的那一天，还远远没有到来！所以更显这部电影的可贵！年度十佳！
911的20周年，因疫情擦肩而过的Come from away巡演，在此时完成。我还去查了一下纽芬兰岛的位置。希望能早日回归原版剧场
在这疫情遍布的鬼社会下，麻木不仁才能不怄气，至少少怄气。
上帝为阻止人类团结共筑巴别塔，创造了不同语言，然而却又用共同编码的圣经，打破了自己打造的藩篱。
竟然被治愈了；头两幕感觉差一点就黑镜了，男主过于完美仿生人，没想到第三幕精准打击，牛逼；所有演员都应该看看什么叫演技
哇哦，十分！必须满分！这是女性向的电影，它说出了我说不出的欲望，渴望性爱，多么自然的需求，却被羞于出口。25岁的女孩也羞愧于自己的身体，在床笫之间不敢展露自己，对身材的不自信。天呐，这就是我在挣扎的事情，我想要减少自己的不自信，只是一直做不到。这个电影帮我说出来了。
虽然唱的一般，但这个故事好感人啊，尤其是今天看，感触颇多。
应该看现场，效果会更好，虽然没有那个观看的环境，却能够对其构造的环境感同身受。
