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.

说俗也俗，说燃也燃，作为一个非吃鸡玩家被触到蛮厉害的，大概也只有吃鸡能低成本拍出来吧。
这部电影最大的价值，是彰显这么一个道理：资本可以把控一群人，但无法精准控制到具体个体的思想行为，没错我说的就是最后那位“光头强”，以及现实网络中出现许许多多个体对抗资本的例子。他们确实没法撬动资本的基石，但能够让它偏离一丁点原定方向，就已经是凡人之躯的巨大成就。
女主太好看了加一星，最后这个拂袖而去看得我心塞
作为网大确实很意外了，文戏万年套路，最喜欢仿游戏的枪战片段。
如果不是吃鸡玩家的话看这部电影会少很多乐趣，这部电影最大的亮点或许便是，对于游戏极高还原度所带来的那种沉浸感吧。
哈哈，虽然不玩吃鸡，看这片子还是感觉挺欢乐的。最后那个平底锅装逼到位了，还起了点鸡皮疙瘩，想起十多年前那些天天在网吧吃泡面打dota的苦逼职业选手了，这种屌丝宅男一朝夺冠逆袭封神的梦想，游戏迷都懂啊~
在被网大伤了无数次后，已断然绝了再看网大的心思。不过奔着吃鸡题材看的《硬汉枪神》，却是意外的佳片。整部电影除了剧本过多拼接痕迹，无其他明显问题，尤其是还原游戏场景的特效部分，几无挑剔之处。网大若都能达到这个水平左右，倒真能成为影视圈里的一股洪流。
特喵的某些电竞剧不来学习学习人家是怎么拍的么？
电影很完整，所有的要素齐备，但其实没有一个很闪光的点，如同快餐，吃饱即可。本片好在整体合格了，这一点已经胜出于很多国内电影作品，最好看的地方在于影片的真人和游戏结合部分，无论是否合理，对于玩过游戏的观众，都会有一种莫名其妙的吸引力。。。片尾有彩蛋。。。
真正的硬汉要有原则，要有担当
去掉中间的谈恋爱，这电影年度冠军稳稳的了！不去应该也不差！！
非常惊喜的国产片，虽然剧情老套但中间的比赛看的挺过瘾，结尾决赛大家用起了平底锅也是挺有仪式感的，好秀。特效做的很棒，把游戏质感和真人实景拍摄融合的非常好，仿佛又回到了几年前盛行吃鸡的年代，每天中午和同事朋友组队跳伞跑毒狙人的日子。
作为网大真的是拉高了同类型作品不知多少层次 如果院线上映我会考虑买票的
除了后期颜色调的有点复古以外，这真的是一部极好的作品。又燃又泪。可以这么说，自从我国有了网大以来，这个是最棒的一部。女主角真的好美，谭晓凡，以后肯定片约不断，一定红。

剧情略有俗套，但我没办法不给满分，因为真的严重超出了期待，看名字以为就是个流水线烂片，打开之后惊喜满满，制作是下了决心的，细节让人无法挑剔，完成度也非常高，还能要求什么。
真人吃鸡也可以拍的这么热血这么燃，良心制作的网络大电影啊。
最牛网大没问题！昆汀被称为“影迷型导演”，那么本片的创作者就是“玩家型导演”，否则拍不出味道这么正的开拓之作。不同于《头号玩家》融合了一大批流行文化，本片切入点很小，针对性更强。电竞的历史很短，以PUBG为代表的大逃杀游戏从兴起到现在更是不过四五年。从RTS、FPS，到三条路、卡牌，大逃杀的确是最适合影视化的电竞项目。本片基本补足了《幽灵邀请赛》的种种短板，完成度直逼顶点。最有趣的一点，游戏本身就是对现实的加工，游戏除了现实逻辑外还有一套程序逻辑，而本片又要将这种程序逻辑视觉化，属于二次加工。所以枪战是去血腥化的，所以会出现反复上下车这样前所未见的巧思镜头。诸如此类的点子非常多，希望诸君自己去看。
看了个秦（昊张）震和假王珞丹一起吃鸡的感觉。
