被舍弃的人们

Ayşe, Ali, Mehmet and Zeynep are middle-class millennials struggling to make ends meet in Istanbul. Either still living with their parents or hardly getting by without help from their families, they are all beset by similar woes: money crunch, joblessness, social isolation. In view of the world’s horrors that Zeynep enumerates in her diary entries, these are minor problems, ‘slight disasters’, but they are all-consuming, at least to the extent of making them cry in the still of the night. 　　However, Umut Subasi’s first feature, Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster, is not a melodrama. With an appealingly light touch, it diagnoses the malaise of a generation that has run up against a dead end, one whose future prospects are indistinguishable from a game of chance. This is a world where astrology, the lottery and online personality tests compete with visa and job applications as life-shaping elements. 　　Fittingly, the film is structured around chance and coincidence, with its handful of characters encountering each other in every permutation, as though there were no world outside this small social bubble. With self-aware, frontal framing that pins characters to their surroundings and a counterintuitive musical score that turns pathos into humour, Subasi offers a social-media movie without social media, one whose characters are united in their double lives and frustrated desires. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/almost-entirely-a-slight-disaster

　　50年代，美国拍了《原子怪兽》，日本拍了《哥斯拉》，50年代末期英国又趁热打铁拍了《海底巨兽》。1961年又和米高梅合拍了《巨兽格果》。　　《巨兽格果》不像其他怪兽电影那样，怪兽开头都是神龙见首不见尾，最后城市大战时露个全身。本片中怪兽破坏的镜头完完全全的展现在观众面前，拆了伦敦塔桥，还推到了大本钟。最后全凭两双大脚一路踩爆房屋，砖瓦四溅，相当过瘾。本片讲述了人类抓到了一只可爱的小怪兽——格果，然后把它关进马戏团里，哪知道后来把怪兽老娘惹来了…
