Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
2个小时的电影，看了5次才看完，看一次睡着一次，就神奇，结尾强行说教也是大可不必，真的，爱的方式千千万万，放过彼此吧
有些人只能看到所谓的亚裔刻板印象，好似已经拍过无数部？并没有呢
后现代量子力学虚无主义Rick & Morty迷影下的华人移民家庭面临的压力和矛盾：夫妻卑微的社会地位和无聊的日常生活；对子女社会成就高期待值和子女能力有限的矛盾。前者通过阅尽世间繁华再回归到日常来消解，后者靠自我如此渺小和期待父母爱与包容来治愈。但这种解决方案无非是万事皆空、接受自己、珍惜当下、平淡是真这种老鸡汤，不具备真正的力量和方向，不如孔子“知其不可而为之”和马丁路德“就算明天世界毁灭今天也要种下一颗苹果树”，华人和西方社会还是应该回归到儒家和基督教的传统价值上来解决自己的精神危机。
我已经很久没有看如此令我难以下咽而倍感头大的电影了，从半小时的时候就开始疯狂看进度条还有多少时间，无数特效和模仿镜头往我脸上砸的感觉像极了我在看电影混剪而他们恰巧用的是同样的几个演员。看似是迷影人玩梗实则是多元宇宙的谎言，到最后无论在哪个宇宙都还是家庭、爱和选择的故事。剧情无功无过，但却仿佛还是在亚裔的stereotype里打转，唯一有趣的代际冲突在那一句“女朋友”“what did he just say”中得到一些拯救。我想到了一个形容此类电影的新词“七巧板电影”，指看似铺的平平整整满满当当，实则每一块都奇形怪状。//我们终究会选择原谅，原谅我们是我们，而爱永存。
说正经的。
去爱，就是去寻觅心伤，既然这样，为何经历如此多的宇宙、遍数每一种近于不可能的可能，在触及到的无穷世界线里，却依然不愿松开紧抓的手？我想，诚如片中所言，正是许多渺小的瞬间，共同拼出了足够定义一个人的幸福；也正因如此，在无处可去的当下，只选择眼见为真的爱，哪怕尽头仍是破碎，也好过见证一切便畏之不前。这确实是种勇敢的观点。
脑洞大开的视觉表达却掩盖不了编剧的小眼眶子。
一场完美的视听盛宴，相似运动和同景别转场让人叹为观止。个人觉得，如果电影停留在末世双石那里刚刚好，让人感慨“白茫茫一片真干净”。一切都是虚无，一切都不重要。母女和解需要一生的时间，怎么可能几句话就能轻易实现呢。电影让我想起了《降临》中母亲的选择—“我遇见了所有悲伤，但我依然愿意前往。”
实在对有恶搞的电影无感，尤其打戏如此陈旧。ps，传引进的看过全片吗？通篇恶趣味，sm，连gangsai都有啊！更不要提女儿妈妈都有同性情节
太飞了。打戏有必要这么多吗。毫无价值的我刚好就是平行宇宙里的人们最需要的我，无限的失败中恰恰孕育着无限的可能性。好存在主义。哭了半小时。
每个角色关于"爱"的点都很感动
多元的形式感碰撞出属于移民一代的文化激荡，中国式的戏曲、功夫以及蹩脚的普通话糅合进现代的欧美风潮，在平行宇宙的设定持续炸裂，即使平行宇宙的设定在如今漫威或DC对大荧幕的巧取豪夺中已屡见不鲜，可观众就是在面对这似蒙太奇一般高速地声光交叠中逐渐在屏幕前疯狂。不得不佩服两位导演，也不得不佩服杨紫琼，屡见不鲜的社会议题讨论在导演惊奇的脑洞下一个个被引爆，杨紫琼完美地完成了文本赋予她的一切任务，同时在导演各种梗玩到飞起的时候她本身又自带黄金年代的港片遗风，所以这是一场为她量身打造的独角大戏，其他人在她的光芒之下皆黯然失色。 By the way,看完之后感觉引入内地的可能性不大，毕竟有的地方太羞耻了～
好久没这么全神贯注，细节意料之外的电影了！惊喜至极！用天马行空的视觉来表达抽象的情感与关系，核心依旧是爱与和解，那些流经存在的细节不正是支撑我们活下去的动力吗？凡事都是一个圆，乐观与悲观只需要换一个角度去看，圆内核心尽是爱，就算人生不如意甚至全宇宙崩塌，千万别忘了这个内核，不是爱能拯救一切，而是爱定义了我们的存在。看了杨紫琼的采访谈到这个剧本时动情哭了，说这辈子等到属于自己的剧本了，真的值得！眼花缭乱的视听语言非常纯熟精致，两个导演太令人欣喜了。
本来是个喜剧片却哭得稀里哗啦。我们总是后悔如果当初……但当下的选择也许并不是最坏的选择，过好我们的自己的每一天，爱我们该爱的人……
又一部头重脚轻的讲述美国亚裔亲缘创伤的影片。《瞬息全宇宙》也没有背离商业电影对人类渴求解决方案与确凿答案的心理惯性的无限宠溺，给出了意料之中皆大欢喜的结局。令我不满的不是“和解在家庭关系商议里必然存在”的事实，而是将它设置为故事的终点，仿佛“善与爱”是过来人的智慧与成熟，让愤怒成为少时不懂事的意气用事，可东亚小孩最是知道家庭是多么血腥残暴的战场，也是细密的压迫与残害最为常见之处。我不接受的不是对虚无主义的讽刺，而是对被压迫者的虚无主义的讽刺。此外，那些永不原谅、永不和解、支离破碎、天涯各异的结局，几乎是不会出现在能够被公开放映的影像记录中与主流媒体平台上的。无论是影像本身还是电影行业，都是高度选择性与高度特权化的。
脑洞实在是开得太大了！但是内核跟《青春环游记》是一样的，只是比那个闹得还大。那个砸了体育场，这个闹了全宇宙！她老公也太像成龙了！
是电影是戏剧是卧虎藏龙是菊花超市是space odyssey是无厘头是拉丝冯提尔是rick n morty是沙丘是everything。Bagel是大雄试卷上的零是receipt上的重点是瞳孔是不满足的食欲是妈妈对女儿人生的insecurity。变成石头，变成圆形的石头，去接近填满bagel。
Just so so……完全没有戳中我。形式天马行空，内核却没有那么天马行空，I really don‘t like typical 东亚母女关系。当一颗石头选择离开时，另一颗石头静静地在山上做自己好吗，你不必困在纠缠的关系之中，你有你自己的多重宇宙，be cool.
太恐怖了，太完美了，集智慧、荒诞、深情于一身，精美绝伦与精打细算并举，整个观影过程既有表现主义让人耳目一新的惊喜，又有对人物命运动彻心魄的窥探，仍能做到哀而不伤，触底反弹，真正无与伦比的电影叙事，今年最值得珍视的作品，丹·关和丹尼尔·施纳特的组合简直谜一样的宝藏
哎。想法是好的，但确实不好看，甚至可以说一些部分有些不适，这个不适都不到想法和概念传递上，就纯粹是表达方式大可不必的那种不适；这两年对于大热电影的失望（主要是欧美圈），我自己其实也反思，我不懂，时至今日是因为什么，可能是我也是年纪大了，纯粹是跟不上一些现在的审美（无论是外在还是内在），快感和深层情感上都很难戳中我喜爱的点，觉得作品里无论是视觉上的表现还是感情的传递都既单薄又无趣，但这可能也是新的一种审美阶段，只是我还无法理解接受？总之，我和目前的欧美影视圈，有一方没见过世面。（这么对比不合适，比如说石头那段很好笑也有趣，但会想起说这不是银河系漫游指南里变沙发嘛，不是哪个更好，只是说，见过，所以失去了这种被震撼住的快乐。）
