You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
当人类失去痛觉会怎么样？想起小时候撞破头打了麻药缝针，冰凉的金属在皮肤和组织间穿梭的感觉，new sex也就不难理解了。现阶段人类是无法完全掌控身体的，我们只能控制食物 睡眠 运动，然后期许身体的反馈。或许未来能操控器官，改造身体，anyway自然和人造都有其美妙之处。ps. 蕾老师美哭了
ps：对于我这种拿哲学一点办法没有的人来说，这片子真的是“精神恐怖片”了……
为蕾老师的牺牲演出加一星，其他太难懂了，看得云里雾里
气氛和情绪以及神秘感倒是撑住了，故事框架相当有趣，但中间太枯燥，配合解剖身体的画面，没有血腥中的美感，也没有超越疼痛的深刻，最主要还是缺少美术风格上的大胆尝试和创新（太保守了）。对比去年的《钛》，本片上限更高，如果是《钛》那种美术风格，剧本再多加点脑洞，会好很多。
"Surgery is the new sex." 概念不错，但是执行潦草。
实有无限的可能性。
不懂！
但痛苦是有意义的，死亡同样是有意义的，未来也许灰暗，但同样有意义。
如果人真的进化到用病态的器官改造作为艺术，那么离灭亡也就不远了。
概念和内涵过于分离，而有些情节又挺俗套的；道具真的满分了
没劲。调成 3 倍速、黑白色，当做低成本 cult 片还行。
走向未来？想多了，脑壳给你开两个洞
基本上是柯南伯格作为艺术家的自画像，理清了他的创世架构，也就大概能理解导演想说什么，最后一滴泪是艺术家的受难也是救赎
在一个柯南伯格式的世界中，完美地呈现了艺术、性、政治、技术、后人类等主题的互文性与多义性。没有痛觉、没有感染，与巨虫般的床、椅连接，消化塑料的工业废品；人和物的界限不再清晰，肉欲和恋物融为一体，sex is surgery；充满性意味的切割衍生出新的美学，矫正与异化的张力造就了宗教式的狂热；当naturally unnatural出现，统治力量仍试图像割除肿瘤一样抹去异质性的存在；然而，身体虚弱、进食困难的症状已经昭示了人类如倾覆巨轮一般的命运，雅典的平静海岸、梦中的真切疼痛则是对普罗米修斯后裔的最后挽歌。较前作更为丰满，比《钛》那种概念组合好太多（怀疑那个耳朵人跳舞就是在阴阳）；如果简化为新奇性体验当然看不出哪好。
混乱的三角视角
比钛好懂，比欲望号快车类型元素少，但是也没看特别懂
2. 电影结尾，柯南伯格反其道而行之去宣扬“body is reality”，否认了未来世界中精神的主体性和存在的意义，反倒去强调肉体本身的价值，这是一个很新颖的观点，但个人其实不太接受这样的诠释（就这样选择去接受并宣扬现代科技下人类的异化吗？）。
【A】Beautiful，和预期完全是两部作品。最好的柯南伯格之一。
So the future belongs to heavy-breathing, lip-licking orgasm fakers who cut flesh only to feel nothing, duh
咋说呢……就是看友邻影评人们说得头头是道，但是实际观感多处老人皱眉+弹幕式神游+男性配角脸盲。因为小k五官抽搐和卡痰说词的演技（美版刘浩存），和蕾老师额头月相的造型（法版包拯），难以沉浸于故事和氛围。
