回复 :主人公是个贫困青年，一天，侵吞机关公款的官吏来访，决定在服刑之前把自己私吞的公款存放青年那里。因为这个官吏亲眼目睹了青年杀人的现场，所以青年不敢把这笔公款报告警察。然而，这个青年因为失恋，失去了生活的目标，于是想把公款挥霍一空，然后自杀。他开始过上了从前梦想的用钱征服女人的生活，他象对待奴隶一样对待每个女人。但这种喜悦是徒劳的。影片拍摄的时代，是日本经济正处于高峰时期的“黄金时代”。人们被经济的发达、生活的富裕搞得不知所措。昨天还是失败者和穷人，今天就变成梦想中的富人，生活的急速转变把人们从正常的心理轨道上大力抛出，人们莫名其妙地发现了自己的喜悦。大岛渚正是看到了这一现实，并敏锐地发觉其中蕴藏的绝望和无助，于是拍摄了这部讽刺和警告的影片。这部让很多影评人失望的影片最大的遗憾是过于程式化和概念化，以及大岛渚对《青春残酷物语》等前作的的关联和模仿。不过，影片在上映前遭到警视厅的严格审查和删减，完整性已经受到很大的破坏，恐怕也是影片并不成功的原因之一。
回复 :A musical retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about an old bitter miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.In 1860, cranky old miser Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas; loathes people and defends the decrease of the surplus of poor population; runs his bank exploiting his employee Bob Cratchit and clients, giving a bitter treatment to his own nephew and acquaintances. However, on Christmas Eve, he is visited by the doomed ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley that tells him that three spirits would visit him that night. The first one, the spirit of Christmas Past, recalls his miserable youth when he lost his only love due to his greed; the spirit of Christmas Present shows him the poor situation of Bob's family and how joyful life may be; and the spirit of Christmas Future shows his fate. Scrooge finds that life is good and time is too short and suddenly you are not there anymore, changing his behavior toward Christmas, Bob, his nephew and people in general.
回复 :又一部东欧魔幻现实主义佳作,别被片名给骗了,故事远不是像片名那么浪漫...Decadence, homosexuality, excess wealth, infidelity, alcoholism and drugs all played a major role in the decline of aristocracy.
