Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
笑点挺密集，后半部分有些拖沓。看完好想参加Pride游行，有生之年可能吗（苦笑）？以后就别嘲笑印度了...ps好像就没看过没有歌舞的印度电影。。。
被分数忽悠了。内核很“陈旧”，情节也很套路，音乐铺得太满，女主一亮相，我以为是田某珺，差点直接退出... ... 想不通为何会有7.5分，可能能满足很多观众听潮汕话的需求？可这跟电影质量没什么关系。
相当接地气的电影，是无数泽凯和静姗的故事。对汕头人情民俗的展现比较有趣，看到不少中国乡土的缩影。虽然结局还是有点理想化。不过潮汕话怎么这么难懂，感觉跟在听印度话似的，哈哈哈哈。
就连印度都有pride parade…反观…蒽蒽
剧情还挺幽默，从一个故事展现了现在同性恋所遇到的社会认同问题，电影中每一对恋人彼此一见钟情的画面太幸福了，最后大圆满结局
男主打电话告诉女主他对家人讲出来了的那块，实在太好哭了呜呜呜
就。。还蛮喜剧的，我想说你们真的已经到了可以在这个领域里写命题作文的地步了吗。。形式理论基础抓的真牢，难怪PPT都做不过你们。
这个结局就真棒
认真写影评：

第一次作为投资人参与的电影~主创都是平时一起喝酒吹水的好基友，敢想敢做，坚定靠谱，第二部电影作品完成度如此之高远超预期。调色时有幸一睹真心立马决定用养老金入股，非常有信心！
印度都能拍了zg还不行，相较同类型的喜宴更写实吧，瞒得过一时瞒不过一世，形婚不是出路，坦诚对待自己才是，最后配乐舞蹈真的很棒啊！
但是最終我們一定會走向這樣的結局
还可以，剧情推进比较平淡，比较理想，但印度都能拍这种题材了
单说电影叙事的话会觉得还行，但是能这样拍且上映，真的太棒了吧，最后游行那一段很感人！
lgbt如果要和现有社会相对和谐共处的话，内部解决？
之前对潮汕的印象只有潮汕牛肉丸/奶奶好好玩儿/真的是纯方言，普通话对白都没有二十句，完全听不懂，全靠看字幕
影片整体非常亲切接地气，能感受到主创团队的良心，希望本作能大火~
男主、女主都有情绪爆发的表演高光，但最感动的情节反而来自临近结尾的一个【欺骗性】黑屏，相信没快进的观众会被那情节所触动。
印度都有关于同性电影，希望我们国家也越来越包容。虽然我不支持同性婚姻，但不妨碍我希望他们🈶️更多生活空间。最后被女主父亲的爱感动，父母是我们大树也是软肋
