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.

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.

第一次快进看DW 这个特辑算是我心中第二差了 两个最差都是13姨的 所以CC你想想/////// 新年特辑 欢乐气氛挺够的 Dan的笑话和Sarah的语气都挺好玩 4分的剧情加两分 首先【时间循环】这个剧情在皮卡叔时期已经有了 并且很能打 这点魔法特做的很好 但是CC这儿 总是聊天聊天聊天 让人看的想睡觉 虽然有倒计时但是一点紧迫感也没有 还有把Daleks当成傻子一样玩 多少看着很无语 最最最最需要说的就是Yaz 这个角色可有可无啊 没有她反而更好 你能回想起她在这个特辑里都干吗了吗？只有面部特写 聊天 笑一笑 一点儿用都没有 不知道CC你是不是有什么db……//最为新年全家一起笑开怀的特辑很好看 但是作为DW 它不合格
不是CC你是不是觉得你很幽默“观众看了三集都没有看出来13和Yaz的感情戏是因为Yaz暗恋博士！怎么样我把暗恋拍的多好！没有一个观众看得出来！”你以为你很幽默吗？？？我去三季了整整三季了！！就tm烟花那里让我觉得她们是双向的，甚至Yaz和Ryan的互动都比跟13暧昧，我甚至都默认这对cp了结果Ryan突然走了？？？然后Yaz突然告诉Dan她已经暗恋13很久了？？？这是在干什么！！！搞咩啊！！！打咩！！！我不接受好吗！我不接受！！
两星半，也就比去年特辑好了一点点，起码t娘活下来了¯\_(ツ)_/¯。拥有所有dw元素但是看起来一点也不dw，设定没啥新意拍的节奏还离谱。强行搞cp结果真的一点不香，13还剩两个特辑了你加个感情线，就是为了到时候学rtd捅刀是吧……
删除养老院和霸王龙小分队的故事线，完全就是三集动画剧情搬到到大荧幕上，虽说是子供向作品，但是制作组真是有够会偷懒的！小美和刷子的配音也换了，失去了我童年的味道
看得出想主打爱情牌（毕竟新年前夜还在看剧的大概率是单身狗？），但是毫无火花和cp感的路人男女都能在time loop里终成眷属，Yaz和博士从S13E00开始的七集化学反应外加本集Dan的助攻，竟等不来《土拨鼠之日》的结局，编剧你最好后续有个合理交代。这次还得骂导演：弱爆了且土爆了，拍不出紧张感不说，360度回旋怼脸就为轮流一句“agree”还是个潦草失败的计划我真是谢谢你啊。
片尾的动画片歌曲大集合每首都能跟着唱，我也并不怀念那个时代了。
孩子是多变的，今天热心肠图新鲜感，明日新潮流便又从众，大人也不好苛责，伤心的只是看到过希望的老人。大人不从儿童手中接过接力棒，晚年只剩追忆的就是自己。
要内容没有内容，审美还很差，不是陪小朋友真看不下去
对比面目全非的大头儿子和舒克贝塔，图图还是好可爱哦
doctor和yaz CP感还是太弱了，需要更多铺垫才好
虽然有些不足，还是很喜欢郑爷爷的童话，让我们回到童年。希望多些教育工作者能看看
全中国最喜欢图图的人来报道，还是老剧情延伸，小时候最爱图图讲道理，童真又很有哲理，感觉很适合情怀人去看看，但是真的没什么特别吸引人的。
前半段回忆 后半段尴尬升华 …看看《国王排名》，看看图图，我真的爱图图，也真的有些失望哎…
牛爷爷手工大师啊做那个院子模型太牛了
电影立意很好，天马行空的幻想，但整体质量十分平庸。心疼电影票钱。
主题明确富有教育意义，前部分有用早期TV版初识牛爷爷做开头，但还是很感人，结局吴爷爷的演唱很精彩，开心^_^，我们都是正义的霸王龙小分队。嗷嗷🦖🦖
国庆给我姐和家里的三个娃买票他们去看了，中间据说有一个什么怪兽出来了，礼拜一哇地一声就哭了，说怕怕，不要看了。我姐就抱着他出来了，我姐说图图那个大脑袋刚出来的时候礼拜一就已经害怕了。剩下俩最后看完出来，说很好看（我一点都不信）。我问都讲啥了，他们说要关爱老人。说明看懂了？
又杂又老的梗杂糅在一起，和近几年春晚上的小品不分上下。整一个不伦不类。
为什么每次新年都要打打雷 放过打雷吧OTZ 观感比之前的2个新年特别篇好 但这loop模仿得过于刻意而且没有理由 突然循环突然打雷入侵突然团灭突然告白 基本都没有解释比较唐突 新人物观感还行但介绍篇幅过长 解决办法也只是一炸了之非常粗暴 13的表现也不是很突出感觉起到的作用不是太大 其他还有13装傻和官宣Yaz喜欢13 Dan真是超勇的 总之虽然比之前的特别篇强但也不算很精彩吧
这都不算是消费情怀了吧，直接消灭情怀。
