“Sangen Om Den Eldröda Blomman” ( “Song Of The Scarlet Flower” ) was a recent and remarkable silent surprise for this Herr Von; the oeuvre is an excellent Herr Stiller silent film that this German count watched in a newly restored and tinted copy. It combines the well-known aesthetics, technical improvements and artistic merits for which the Nordic director was known and praised since those early silent times till today.
The film tells of the merry and carefree love life of young Olof ( Herr Lars Hanson ) a woodsman who during his search for true love, seduces many frauleins ( just like this German aristocrat… well, not exactly because the purpose of this Herr Von’s seduction of rich fräulein heiresses are their great fortunes… ). He will suffer disappointment and deception, all those problems that turn up in any loving relationship. Finally he will find responsibility and maturity, learning during his particular quest that his actions always have consequences in different degrees to the people around him. This Herr Von can describe “Sangen Om…” as a kind of coming of age film, the special introspective growth toward maturity of a free and easy youngster.
As this German count said before, the film displays Stiller’s characteristic artistic virtues. ; in the first part of the film, we can see elements of comedy, not exactly like the comedy of intrigues in other Stiller films, but humor of a more cheerful sort, highlighting the self-involvement of our hero. Olof ‘s frivolous flirtations with the different girls eventually turn romantic and then turn into drama. There is conflict in the troubled relationship between Olof and his father and later with the father of his beloved. The beautiful and wild natural landscapes of Norrland and northern Sweden lend the tale a certain power and is characteristic of Herr Stiller’s other silents where Nature emerges as an important character in the story. This is strongly reflected throughout the film but especially during the frantic scene wherein Olof descends into the troubled waters of a river, a beautiful metaphor for the hardships that our hero has to endure until he finds himself.
“Sangen Om Den Eldröda Blomman” is an excellent, beautiful film, a solid, technically perfect and intricate production of 1919 that demonstrates once again the importance of Herr Stiller for silent film history.
没看过1947年的老版。这版中的30-40年代的美国，从技术层面上，摄影、美术、服化道都很有年代感且精致。影片演员阵容强大，但是时长着实是一个硬伤，且不说看过老版和了解故事的人，即使第一次看也会觉得节奏过慢，铺垫太长。过长的铺垫和缓慢的节奏一般都是为了给结尾意想不到的惊天反转增加爆发力，可惜影片前期给出了大量的线索，即使stan在经历了一切之后变成了开始自己眼中那个最“可怜”的人，这样的结局并没给观众带来多大的意外，反而觉得是意料之中的事。不过娓娓道来的故事，沉下心来看，后劲会比较大。stan是一个有梦想的“聪明人”，在跨越阶级追逐梦想的路上聪明反被聪明误，被自己的自信和野心所蒙蔽，沦丧了道德，慢慢成为自己最了解也最可怜的人。即使是《马戏之王》巴纳姆，在当时人的眼中也不过是个“戏子”。三星半
好看但好老套，就和这个海报一样老套！这是21世纪的第2个十年了，我不想再看到一个乐色一样的人通过小聪明和野心走向高峰又跌回怪物的故事。
卡司诈骗哈哈哈哈哈！感觉时长减一个小时就差不多了
预算如此如此充足，所有重要配角全是知名的性格演员演的…
老派重温。以导演的视听审美标准，以及剧本的细节之处，足可以在商业视听上冲击感官。与老版对比后更明显。
还是前半部分马戏团的部分比较好看，为啥我有种库珀台词多了，戏反而变拖了的错觉。前半段没啥话的地方味道就很对。
这种电影能拿戈雅奖多个奖项，说明西语电影式微。
真的很像一个mini series的节奏，karma, oh karma.

整部电影的节奏都太慢了，一直在铺垫，铺垫，实在很难坚持看完，要不是陀螺估计直接弃了，当下的世界已经离电影艺术越来越远，在这样的环境下做复古没问题，但是这么陈旧和拖沓，只会离观众更远了
结尾：-你知道什么是怪人吗？-知道。我生来就是干这个的。
寻着liedownplease来看的 我真是看不得电影了
欢迎参观陀螺家后院（不是）。我现在理解很多人不喜欢陀螺，是因为他的电影过于政治正确/解读性低，但陀螺其实是属于类型片导演中作者性比较强的那一类，主要表现在他的观点是市场的/其次的辅料，那种阴暗浓郁的Cult味表达才是正餐，这点类似蒂姆波顿，但识别度没那么强。他的作品逻辑在于从一个小切入点（比如神话、人鱼、机器人或者pickled baby）开始编一个疯狂而浪漫的故事，然后塞很多私货，最后给一个合理且有人情味的结局，就这点来说，倒是觉得Nightmare Alley克制了点。最后，陀螺真的跟白人男性有仇吧hhh
7/5/2022 @ 高先電影院。關關難過關關過，btw女實習生係正既，難怪老闆會潛規則….
黑色电影版《行骗天下》，复古哥特版《美国恐怖故事》（第五季还是第几季来着），一点也不creepy，陀螺终于还是拉了。
现在的电影都变成两个半小时起步了吗。。。前一个多小时的铺垫真的太长了。叙事节奏慢的要不是托罗营造的精致氛围，恐怕很难看下去。大魔王的办公室也太华丽了！原来和小白兔根本没多少交集┓(´∀`)┏
前面讲Carny的部分好喜欢，用三十年代嘉年华做背景真的很棒，全程怀念【Carnivale】，后面么就。。。不过noir当代化反正也一直拍不好，因为本来就没有什么情节，那种特别的氛围感又很难现代化，虽然色彩布景服饰和女主角确实都很好看
卡罗尔后大魔王&鲁尼玛拉终于合作了可惜没有对手戏
“You don't fool people Stan, they fool themselves.”
这一版比起47年原版简直就是金玉其外，哪怕画面再精致。片长这么长配角依然这么单薄，想想原版Zeena和Pete等配角可都是很鲜活。陀螺也不忘自己的恶趣味，同时还老生常谈各种issue,没必要真的没必要。大魔王的角色也是一出场及全程就各种霸气外露，还是喜欢原版的处理。
