This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
三星半，算是很工整的歌舞片吧，但是裡面的歌舞編排只能説普通，各位演技都還算在線，只是故事本身過於波瀾不驚，沒有什麽記憶點，感覺過幾天就忘光了……
本来开始对这种励志歌舞片不感兴趣，看的时候发现这时音乐剧《吉屋出租》的编剧乔纳森·拉森。片子以30岁生日的节点引发人生焦虑，但乔纳森35岁就因为主动脉瘤猝然离世了，知道这个设定也就时片名《倒数时刻》的意思，看似是喜剧歌舞，讲的是人生的困惑，而且实在生命最后的时刻。同时电影的剧本也出自乔纳森之手，记录了他创作、与恋人因人生规划不同而分手、好朋友感染艾滋病等等故事，处于对创作的追求和对生活的热爱，乔纳森后来把身边同性恋朋友、艾滋病话题写入了《吉屋出租》。片子的主题、表演都没问题，因为是展现个人创作历程，穿插了太多励志和困惑交替的表达，中段时有点看的泄气了，故事表现性没那么强，最终没能完全打动我，和《爱乐之城》比可看性还是差了些。
以为是新的，其实是抓去见九柱的合集，动画21-26
到了一定年龄，你就不再是端着餐盘的作家，而是一个有写作爱好的服务员。Tick，Tick...BOOM！个人觉得不及《爱乐之城》，情感的撕扯和卖惨的剧情，实在比不过人生真实的无奈。
其实中后段有点撑不起来，最终要将的不是很清晰，你到底要讲的是个人还是时代，没有掰扯好来，一直摇摆不定，最后的收尾，也比较一般，好就好在形式上让人眼前一亮，加菲这次也撑得起来。
art can be anywhere, anytime, anyone's life
我不理解为什么rating 如此高 也许是我的问题 我觉得太吵了 音乐和剧情的衔接有一丝丝刻意
作为一部musical，music不好是原罪
叙事是片段式的，对于不了解传记片主人公的观众会觉得混乱。用音乐串起情绪效果很好。加菲的表演其实不够深入，演唱部分倒是卖力。
基本上所有值得称赞的都是原型本尊，最后的友情的珍贵胜过一切
虽然是传记片但也把焦距Jonathan个人的视角扩大到所有的创作者的痛苦。swing and a miss, swing and a miss, till you hit.
大批才华横溢之人都英年早逝，但他们的遗产却已成为世界文化符号，一代代传递下去，他们的精神也会通过这些作品散发到每个角落。
电影里呈现出的Jonathan Larson，其实和他的那部最著名的作品一样，充斥着某种程度的自私、自以为是、自我中心……但是，我无法讨厌这一切，因为我无法拒绝其中蕴含的真挚和才华。看了不少关于Rent的各种缺点的小论文，很多我也无意反驳，但它始终打动我心，Jonathan Larson也始终让我无比难过——如果他能够继续下去，他一定会创造出不留任何遗憾的作品。
爱情，友情，穷困潦倒，三十岁还在追梦，经久不衰的故事，其他尔尔。
文艺青年的艺术梦是最新的美国梦，一段接一段毫无休止的尬唱，歌词本身也实在不敢恭维，为什么我们这个年代的传记片总是喜欢把这些平庸之辈捧上神坛？
刷到片源重刷了一遍，鬼灭真的是一部作画非常优秀的动画啊，大火也是没办法的事
主角们成长的过程，夸张又卖萌的轻松剧情，无限列车前篇。
重新剪辑版吗，炎柱是不是日之呼的伏笔啊，想看无限列车
无限列车前奏，也就是TV合集，没有新的东西，早知如此就不去看了。三颗星给最后团灭的下弦，这剧最好的就是视效上的空间大挪移了。
每个写不出文章的夜晚，也会像拉森一样，听着脑海中的Tick, Tick…然后焦虑于30岁之前自己是否会取得成功。拉森的天才和早逝，为整个故事蒙上一层悲剧的色彩，但是他对艺术纯真而热烈的追求，和朋友们对他真挚的爱意，又让人觉得，life is still beautiful.
