大寒1983

An entertaining look at the 80s embourgeoisement of 60s student activists steers skillfully between social satire and sentiment.

有时候怀念一群老友，更多是在怀念那段时间里的自己吧。年轻时可以嬉皮式竭力“垮掉的一代”，年长了资本不足以被持续挥霍，总是要接受新社群中的权利等级制度，找到容身之地。喜欢这种镜头语言的简洁高效，不用过多明晃的对白，也能让人立刻意会到这群人之间的情感往来。那时候年代间的文化差距还是很重的，现在这种差距已经越来越淡化，十年前和十年后有什么差别呢。

The Big Chill is a splendid technical exercise. It has all the right moves. It knows all the right words. Its characters have all the right clothes, expressions, fears, lusts and ambitions. But there's no payoff and it doesn't lead anywhere. I thought at first that was a weakness of the movie. There also is the possibility that it's the movie's message.
