This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
最后，与其拿本片反思遥远美国的当下，不妨反思邻近香港的当下。
音乐剧差不多是世界上最治愈最鼓舞人心的创作了。
“你是否藐视我们的政府？”
其实片中很多处借着精妙的台词和剪辑都具备了极强的感染力，听了你仿佛都会觉得自己就是美国人。但最后一幕念名字看似来势汹汹，实则煽情失败，所有人如站在美国国旗下庄严致敬一般，却也让人清醒过来意识到：哦这终究还是美国呢
情绪饱满的最后宣判一幕与《辩护人》遥相呼应，我深呼吸好几口气才把眼泪压下去。并不巧合的是，两片讲的都是政府蓄意给普通公民思想定罪的故事。
既工整纯熟，又曲折激情。Sorkin 就适合制作这类历史性或纪实性强的片子，节奏感好的一批。4.5星。
Life goes on. 有的时候就想逃避一切什么都不管了，孤独也是真的
Aaron Sorkin的剧本一如既往的精彩，看得我热血沸腾，庭审辩论和游行闪回间的转接如行云流水，这剪辑也太强了！结尾有种虽败犹荣的自豪感，看着Tom Hayden念名字的时候，我禁不住落泪。这片子正好在2020年上映，也是独具时代意义的。
想到一句不太相关的话“无尽的远方，无数的人，都与我有关”。
朋友，给我一点时间吧，这是我的思想，第一次接受审判。
哎呀艾伦索金是不是完美诠释电影和电视剧本质区别的最好案例，放电视剧里这台词这标准答案一样的叙事节奏简直是神，但自己当电影导演吧就，中规中矩及格表现毫无新意（不能说不好不标准但看电影不是为了看好和标准
艾伦索金深谙如何把精彩事件拍无聊之道 以及这一旦陷入昏睡停滞之际 就大放BGM搞煽动煽情手法是跟我国导演习得的吗 我国有被顾里附身的郭采洁 英国有演了霍金就回不去的小雀斑 他们都是真正在用生命和灵魂在演戏啊
People used to believe in this.
“你是否藐视我们的政府？”
Love can make us alive
整体很精彩，是一部带有索金鲜明个人风格的电影。稍显不足的是有点过度娱乐化了，以及控辩双方并没有形成真正意义上的对决，完全是一边倒的表演。
The whole world is watching.except us.
D.以上皆可”
Very well orchestrated, 但是太 煽 了。这样的剧本，如果对它有满分的信念，又为什么要剪辑和音乐助力呢。
哈！是這屆Oscar best pics裡的私人最喜歡！真實的歷史背景直接給足了力量，喜歡一開場就展現的超緊節奏感，全片傳遞的嬉皮士文化和ZZ學運潮是讓人最喜歡的地方～還有黑人民權運動、搖滾文化以及對越戰的反戰主題在裡面，對美國政府公權力的徹底質疑與改革也在裡面，趕腳門檻真真真不低，看前看後都要補充一下閱讀量😂彷彿那幾十年的新思想都被濃縮炮製到這129分鐘裡，嗝！好飽啊（BTW還會想起HK近些年的學運，似乎歷史的車輪在哪都能重蹈覆徹...害閉麥）此外，用交叉平行剪輯的手法串接法庭與暴動兩條敘事線，讓整體故事張力更厲害了，一口氣看完，無法喘息，直到靜止在越戰犧牲士兵的名單上，就像交響樂一樣的宏大收尾。powerful。
