爱情啊

视频简介

本剧改编自普利策获奖作家Richard Russo的小说《正统丑角 Straight Man》，是一个发生在雷尔顿学院里的中年危机故事，由William Henry Devereaux Jr.以第一人称讲述。William在宾夕法尼亚州铁锈地带一所资金严重不足的学院里，担任着并非大家想象中那样的英语系主任。 原著中，William Henry Devereaux Jr.是一个对什么都不太情愿的人。他的这种不情愿一部分来源于自己的性格，他生来就是一个无政府主义者，还有一部分源于他所在的系，比巴尔干半岛还要分裂。在一周的时间里，Devereaux将被一个愤怒的同事弄得鼻青脸肿，想象自己的妻子与学院院长有婚外情，怀疑是否有一位曲线优美的兼职老师试图用桃子核引诱他，并威胁要在当地电视台处决一只鹅。这一过程中，Devereaux将与风流的父亲、对自己年轻时承诺...。电影深度聚焦80年代中期孟买罪恶、混乱的C级片(恐怖、色情)产业。达格尔兄弟是低俗性恐怖电影制作人，他们一般把这类违法电影混在普通电影中出售给观众。显然，年轻女孩们的暴露穿着和性爱镜头是源源不断的市场需求。兄弟俩分工明确，哥哥维奇负责拍片，弟弟索努负责转销和后勤。不过两人的关系一直很紧张，既相互依赖，又相互诋毁。 为了筹资，维奇还利用崭露头角的年轻女演员们为融资者、发行商们提供一夜情服务。一天，索努在工作后遇见了极度渴望进入主流电影圈的神秘年轻女子缤姬。索努想法设法接近她，并向她承诺自己将作为浪漫爱情电影的导演把她捧为女主角。他甚至还从维奇的账户上窃取了为自己拍电影的钱。索努与缤姬彼此坠入爱河。但在他开拍电影之前，维奇认出了缤姬。看似冰清玉洁的缤姬实则与维奇是老相识，那时的她叫索妮卡.....。Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately| Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction| but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another. The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average| but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!。
