A brilliant and outragously funny satire of society, 7 December 1999
Author: Dave Joerg ([email protected])
"Flodder" is one of the funniest movies ever made and few people realise that it is a Dutch movie made by none other than the Holland version of John Carpenter, the famous Dick Maas, author and director of the thriller "Amsterdamned". The Flodder family is the reincarnation of the term a-social. When the whole family bunch, basically all bastards, criminals and sluts must be relocated from their City slum because of toxic waste under their house, the city council house no choice. The only available space is in the "Zoendal" - the "Sun Valley" the best area in Amsterdam where all doctors, snobs and businessmen can afford to live their lives. And where the central point of interest and politics is the tennis club of the community. The Flodder family brings devastation to the tranquil world that ruled before. They are simply unbelievable. The characterisation is incredibly funny, beginning with Ma Flodder who searches other people's trash cans for food or making illegal liquor in her cellar and ending with the eldest daughter who is the biggest slut on earth. Together they make the most horrible family imaginable, a sort of immoral mirror image to the Brady Bunch or the Waltons. When the City counsel of Amsterdam hoped that the Flodders would show their good will to be more civilised in their new area, it turns out that Holland's most famous family would rather bring out the worst in the rich people of "Sun Valley"-wonderland. The rest is a hilarious, brilliant and well made social satire that can be watched as a provocative movie as well as a straightforward comedy. Dick Maas at his best. I salute him! Flooder was the Dutch smash hit in 1986 and brought two sequels and a tv series. All of the sequels were nice but not as great as the original.
Flodders (1986) is available on DVD in Germany in a dubbed German version in Dolby Digital 5.1. under the name:
"Flodders -Eine Familie zum knutschen"
Why is First Floor Features, the producer of the movie not bringing the Dick Maas blockbusters out on DVD in the Netherlands, I wonder. The are not even available on video there. These movies have so much potential, still to this day and have a huge silent but true following.
叛逆期的孩子，环境改变后无法融入新的地方。与母亲的别扭和冲突只有等着长大才发现自己的任性不懂事。
很棒，真的在某個侷限的地方中完成的很好的作品。每個部門都交出非常漂亮的成績單。觸動少女成長的幾個瞬間固然動人，可是最後卻似是未完成一個結尾，問題可能出在她沒分清楚是講家庭還是講少女成長（當然理解是都想要講，但問題是真正最核心的是哪一個）。by the way 三個主演都極好，但最令我深刻還是林嘉欣，去醫院坐著被護士弄化療那一顆鏡頭，不過分演繹而是給出了真正的靈光，就是影后級別的演出。
天下所有妈妈都值得respect！青春期的小女孩真是妈妈的“扎心”的小棉袄呢。
她的恐惧会成为我的恐惧 她的软弱会使我软弱
跟瀑布一样都聚焦于疫情下的母女关系，演员很细腻真实，整体算是流畅好看，但是结尾有些仓促粗糙，包括铺陈多时的演讲与跨文化议题嘎然而止，情绪得不到像瀑布的蓝色幕布拉掉一样的释放。
从美国到台湾，生活场景发生了变化，作为台湾出生实则已是美国女孩的姐妹俩，自然得有一个相当艰难的适应过程，无论是生活方式还是学校教育方式，以及交流语言，都得有很大的变化。更何况他们的家庭也正处于困难时期，妈妈身患重病，爸爸也是工作辛苦，当时的台湾经济亦不景气，导演更是将故事背景置于非典爆发之时。所有的矛盾交织，夫妻之间恩怨不断，母女之间火星四溅，人人怨气很大，生活一地鸡毛。寻常人的生活，平淡而真实。两个小演员演技很好，表情语气拿捏到位，国语英语转换自如。真是难得。
导演处女作 原来拖堂不只是内地的专属 整体感觉比瀑布精彩 戏剧冲突也更强烈 网吧里的歌是周董的安静
不属于我的共同记忆，细腻还不是刻意。好的地方在于排布戏的节奏比较贴近生活节奏，不过看上去什么都讲了，实际上又什么都没讲。
优点是镜头运用和段落衔接做的很舒服。但林嘉欣的表演没有层次，父亲的角色没有分量，反倒是小女孩儿，有那么点出彩。把故事交给争吵，看起来吵的很热闹，其实冲突感并不深刻，家也像盘散沙，没有太多家人的感觉。
3.5 题材跟《瀑布》完全撞车，但水平算是等量齐观瑕瑜互见，相比起来还是钟孟宏更懂得利用视听构建氛围，阮凤仪主要还是依靠对白和吵架推动，前者有时候确实有点空泛，显得过于简单，后者能体现出它的复杂性，但又真的不太会（用国语）吵架，有时候顶不上去又很尬。既是跨文化之痛，也是新导演之痛吧。

比《瀑布》细腻太多了，娓娓道来，一切都很好
片名“美国女孩”，但其实讲的是两种不同文化相互碰撞的家庭故事。很喜欢影片前半呈现出来的生活质感，偶尔的小温情能让人心里暖暖的。影片后半借用当年SARS来套用当下，想要的东西太多，叙事太赶影响了节奏。最后一场家庭大矛盾就草草和解收场，有一种到点打卡下班的感觉。其实还可以表达更多东西，烂尾可惜了。
结尾处有加分。
平淡真实，内涵丰富，耐人寻味。
跟瀑布有点撞主题，但是更细腻真实，母女表演也很棒，Sars那个时间点现在都成了怀旧。
No.15
家有两女，如有两宝。女主演的真好，依旧喜欢林嘉欣。
小女孩把胸部发育当肿瘤，哈哈。不过这桥段有点刻意了，因为在西方的生理教育不可能那么蔽塞，我记得他们有个动画，很小就普及性知识了。
