A comedy, and a scintillating, uproarious one, filled with fast and light touches of exquisite incongruity in scenes that have the expansiveness of relaxed precision, performed and timed with the spontaneous authority of jazz.

Hail, Caesar! is basically a day in the life of this studio cop, whose job is his religion. And Brolin, in a heart-and-soul performance, takes this crazy quilt of a movie about a man surrounded by nut jobs and plays it for real. He's just tremendous.
The great thing about Hail, Caesar! is that it is fun whether you get all its references or not.
Underneath the laff-riot and the Hollywood satire, Hail, Caesar! is a curiously delicate film built on profound affection for American movies and the illusions they build, and loaded with in-jokes the mainstream audience will grasp incompletely or not at all.
Slick, silly and often extravagantly pretty, it’s a pastiche that threads a tricky needle, conveying the dual nature of cinema as an enchanting art form and a ruthless, rationalized industrial practice.
There are the serious Coen brothers movies, like “No Country for Old Men” and, um, “A Serious Man,” and there are the not-so-serious ones. Hail, Caesar! is the opposite of their serious ones, and it is delightful.
An exhilarating switchup: A comic fable that’s both deftly clever and irrepressibly goofy.
Hail, Caesar! is pure, popcorn fun — a visual treat, a comedic tour de force and a sublime and sly slice of satire.
Just as the brothers themselves love to present dialectics about the duality of triviality and seriousness, so, too, does Hail, Caesar! constantly skate back and forth between feeling slight and monumental.
If the Coen brothers’ dramas are cautionary tales, their comedies are veritable how-to guides for people who can’t help but enjoy a mirthless chuckle at the humility of human existence. Yeah, the joke is on us, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t funny.
以前经常看人评价科恩兄弟的片子拍了跟没拍一样,从来就没同意过,这次却莫名想套用这个评价给这部。看起来比较像一场有格调的春晚,大家都没有也不需要在状态,进入导演给他们营造的时代氛围里面玩耍一下就可以了,这片真是奇怪,半点企图都没有,就科恩兄弟的水平而言,显得很廉价。
逃獄三王的續集。資本主義大勝共產主義。
6/10。科恩兄弟写给好莱坞的和解书,这部饱含信息量作品每个段落都混入了影史秘闻的内行梗,致敬了不可亵渎宗教、片场怀孕、文人灌输共产思想、gay导演潜规则的时代万象,拍成一场无脑喜剧的大马戏,戏剧冲突严重被分散,但刻画角色行为的功力仍然很强,比如扇巴掌令明星学乖和剪辑师领带卡住回放等。 @2016-06-02 00:09:11
对好莱坞黄金时代的戏仿非常到位,细节比较出彩,黑和幽默都在,可惜分量太轻。
又不好好叙事又不好好玩讽刺,最后变成四不像。关键是连喜剧也算不上吧。
属于科恩兄弟偏玩票的作品,有种想出了一些很有趣的点子但写到一半厌了于是很水的弄完了的感觉。不过对于迷影者来说片子里的梗和人物指代都值得好好挖一挖。 7.0分★★★☆
实在不敢相信这是科恩兄弟导演的,这是好莱坞版的建国大业吗
电影遇到电视产生困境,电视遇到电脑产生困境,电脑遇到智能手机产生困境。但它们至今都仍未消亡。
失去了精巧的剧本结构,东拼西凑,为了凑梗而拼剧情,完全多余的斯嘉丽那条线。失去了原本的思想性,横下心全民娱乐及向老时代致敬。整体质量全线下降,但好莱坞黄金时代的余晖即使这样看来依旧充满魅力,剧情意外地流畅,观影体验尚属上乘。不过政治部分的讽刺实在有点过了,不知道老白会不会来玩命。
对资深观众来说,猜谜的乐趣是有的,只是剧作太松弛。
二叔和钱老板这俩配角戏份不多却出奇精彩,Hail Caesar的最后一场戏也莫名洗脑,看似粘性很差的架构执行起来竟无比顺畅,但几乎不见科恩兄弟招牌的深刻气息,归根结底还是部充满玩票性质与对黄金年代一份情怀的娱乐片罢了。
轻松,欢乐,也有一贯的揶揄和黑色。秘密保存到2015,编剧团的共产主义小团体…好黑又好笑。对好莱坞黄金年代的电影的戏仿不只是戏中戏,也运用到了这部电影当中。[B+]
国师有三枪,科恩兄弟有凯撒万岁。躺平任嘲的好莱坞黄金时代,靠明星打酱油、一锅乱炖出奇葩。连科恩兄弟都开始拍春晚了,真叫我伤悲...
你们玩得开心就好。
3.5 群星闪耀的卡司都只是露个脸而已,对好莱坞黄金时代各色人物的致敬模仿,以及所引出美国娱乐产业之外的政治背景,可惜科恩兄弟拿手的剧本结构游戏却没有成功在人性回归上触动到观众。而且剪辑也略尴尬,故事线与场景之间的联系和对应,特别是主线故事与致敬桥段的喜剧效果,都没有剪出来。
科恩兄弟的喜剧玩票大乱炖,讲一个基本不用睡觉的好莱坞制片人。剧情没想到跟预告片不太一样,虽然和巴顿芬克有对照,但本片主要还是搞笑。借本片还可以抒发自己对许多经典好莱坞的喜爱并致敬,也不错。钱老板一展歌喉,舞技没话讲,并且那首歌翻译成中文大概是“没有妞就搅基”吧。。😂
科恩兄弟贺岁大电影,明星多,段子多,好笑就行~
中二。Josh Brolin真是低调的好演员
迷影与信仰
7.3 还是科恩兄弟擅长的黑色喜剧,不过这次有些堆砌元素的倾向,核心是个非常简单的故事,副线叙事元素又多又支离破碎,冲突的解决跟主角没多大关系,不过用到的制片厂体系梗实在太多了,其中黑名单编剧绑架明星一起学习共产主义最后还要对着苏联潜艇致敬也真是黑到不行了。
