A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.
What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
挺振奋人心的，民权🙂虽然朋友看到一半无聊的开始玩手机，但是我好喜欢这类电影啊！
灯塔宣传片，压根就是个广播剧，明显不过的意识形态输出
艾伦索金的台词像子弹，字字句句冲击到脑门。政局的荒唐、司法的不公正、流血冲突到底为了什么……一遍遍质问。当最终海登念出4572个牺牲在越战泥坑的士兵名字时，答案揭晓：就是为了最初的正义，反对战争，一切政治手段不该到良心面前扯浑水。
影片根据真实历史事件改编，马丁路德金被刺杀，越南战争，尼克松上台激发的一系列国家内部政治、民族、反战冲突，一股脑的在本片里层次分明的一浪浪席卷过顶，让人窒息不已。
“Do you have contempt for your government? ” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.”
从主角到配角演技都在线，对白又相当精彩，故事也棒，五星！
1.小兰回复了新一在伦敦的告白，两人正式开始交往。
很有张力的法庭群戏，台词和冲突设置满分。看过的片子里，cultural revolution真是影响了全世界，从北爱尔兰（以父之名）到巴黎（戏梦巴黎），再到芝加哥的Abbie Hoffman。
牛逼闪闪，热血沸腾，对白宛如加特林机关枪。
够左，对立冲突制造到位，虽然结尾挺煽情，但看得荡气回肠，喜欢剪辑和节奏，何况还都是钟意的演员

可能大概的确挺好的吧，但我完全看不下去，整个背景太遥远生疏了
这是一个历史的书笺，插在60年代的「The whole world is watching」，又体认美国当前的政治局势进行表达。虽然长达两个小时但富于技巧性的拍摄手法和节奏感甚佳的剧本却不会让人疲倦，注意力始终能集中在这个很密的法廷故事之中，而演员各自精彩的表演将电影焊接得更有凝聚感。索金是想把抗议与审判，以及每个人的背景都挤进去，所以有时会让人觉得很仓促。
不顶不是美国人！THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!
影片的意义很大，一场民运，一场庭审，进步的一个节点，全世界都在看。也从另一个角度表达了美国国内对越战的态度。关于“七君子”的背景故事不想花时间了解太多，单从影片的叙事，不能说寡淡无味，但也没什么太大的情绪波动，也就是看看“别人”而已。从影片上线到观影这段时间，国内正在疯狂的通过影视庆祝伟大的抗美援朝胜利，美国还是酒吧里的50S的样子。因为思想被审判，还有什么比这个更悲哀的事……三星半
拍得挺生动的，特别是人物做得很有趣。但同样是处理素材繁杂的历史事件，《芝加哥7君子》只是热热闹闹得讲完了一个事儿，并没有拎出一个有力的主题和人物关系，相比之下美剧《切尔诺贝利》还真是技高一筹。
用了大量的蒙太奇使叙事有节奏和趣味性，每个人物的性格都很张扬，演员演得很好。政治意义大于故事本身吧。
怪不得节奏这么《社交网络》，原来是索金。学生要么无勇，要么莽勇，有文化的嬉皮士是最佳被告。人物设置有《洛城机密》的味道，代表公正的最偏见，代表无纪律的最人文，代表高知的最冲动，坚持非暴力的给法庭来一拳。最讽刺的是，你像电影中酒吧里的人一样以为活在和平年代。
历史是任人打扮的小姑娘，电影中的历史是，电影本身也是，时过境迁，蒙娜丽莎都有千万种神态。
作为庭审片，主要矛盾冲突不是来自检方和辩方，而且法官和辩方自身内部的冲突。开篇用了简练的手法，快速过镜每个人都是和平手段而去，以及闪过的新闻，都在表明导演给出的答案，而黑人的用处，无非是表现法官的歧视与不公，除了一次探监外，几乎没人任何法院以外的镜头。即使给出了是以政治目的审判，但并没有表现出检方任何压迫和针锋相对，而是法官的不公，一个不公正的判决，无异于污染了水源，大概导演想表达的，也就是法官是当下的美国。但是相反的，对辩方的反应以及两次闪回的镜头，却让我并没有感觉出他们没有一点的无罪。七君子，不过是两三个人的戏。
