Once upon a time
Not so long ago
There was a hedgehog
Whose name, was Brian
Brian lived in a cave deep in the forest
A dark and terrible place called weird wild wood
After dark, the forest would echo with howls and screams
And sometimes it seemed to Brian as if even the moon conspired against him
But the more afraid Brian became, the angrier he got
Until one night, frightened out of his wits
He turned himself into a terrifying monster
He put on weight, painted his face, and started insisted on being addressed as Balthazar the Berserker
But then a strange thing happed
Brian received an unexpected visitor
“Come any closer I’ll scratch your eyes out.” He snarled angrily at the flickering eyes in the trees
“Brian?” Whispered a voice, “Is that really you?”
“Who the fuck are you calling Brian?” Said Brian, as menacingly as he could manage
“Why, Brian, it is you.”
It was Harold, his brother, last seen by the road, walking with mother a long time ago. He said, “I’m so happy I found you, Brian, old chap. I’ve been terribly lonely and fancied a chat.”
But Brian had crossed that road and never looked back.
He’d erased the memory and his soul was now black.
“Harold, mate. I hate to be blunt. But look into the mirror, you prickly idiot. You are a worthless, pathetic, sniveling fool. I’d rather spend time with worms in my stool.”
With that he chased him into the trees and over the dells, screaming, “I’ll eat you for supper or meet you in hell.”
But fate intervened and Brian got lost.
And to make matters worse, there was a treacherous fog.
“Hello.” he cried. “Is anyone there?”
But no one replied, and Brian got scared.
And that’s when he saw he wasn’t alone.
A small, crumpled body was lying in the road.
( A truck suddenly came in the road, Harold jumped out and saved Brian. )
“Why didn’t you leave me?” said Brian. “And just let me die.”
“You are my brother,” said Harold. “How on earth could I?”
And that’s when they heard the pitiful cries, of a very small hedgehog whose mother just died.
And suddenly Brian just started to blub
He picked up the babe and gave it a hug, “This little thing, you know, reminds me of us. Left all alone when Mum caught that bus.”
“The spell has been broken,” said Harold. “It’s time to break free. You are not really a monster. You are a hedgehog, like me.”



It’s symbolic. You see, they discovered their true selves. They started again where they left off before the trauma of losing their mum.
I tell you, that was my life, right there in that cave. I’m not a monster, am I?
No, you just need some help.
You are like me, we are just like the brothers.



So Harold and his long-lost brother Brian, lived happily afterwards in the old hedgerow beside the churchyard.
And remember, no matter how dark and scary those woods may seem, there’s always a way across the road for a hedgehog brave enough to cross it.

Thank you.

前半部就是西蒙飾演的死大叔一直不停地幻想著各種被追殺的橋段，不過實在是沒有太多創(chuàng)意，搞來搞去就是自己被自己整了個不亦樂乎。。

到了后半段他出去找洗衣店后，劇情的發(fā)展才有了真正的看頭，有交代了西蒙會出現(xiàn)這種恐懼幻覺的部分原因。

話說。。。洗衣店里遇到的印度MM。。真的看著還蠻像MJ的，哈哈。。。

本質(zhì)上就是看著好像陰森恐怖驚悚片的小清新片，若是沒事看看打發(fā)時間還是不錯的。

PS，西蒙的出版商大媽看著好有氣勢。。。。

制作精良的英國小品喜劇，小構(gòu)架裝填多樣精彩，完全對口味。本片繼承了該類型一貫的精致制作、幽默諷刺和極客風情，又能獨創(chuàng)性地從成人的角度將兒童文學和精神分析學融合起來，在主題上，立意高出《野獸家園》；在類型上，內(nèi)涵又高出很多同類影片。而且，本片在結(jié)構(gòu)處理上不墨守成規(guī)，有機混搭：獨角、心理、奇幻……類型糅合得心應(yīng)手；漫畫、剪紙、布偶……CULT手法信手拈來，讓人樂在其中。再者，本片最令人印象深刻之處，在其情節(jié)構(gòu)想之完滿又妙點如連珠；過渡接洽之流暢又讓人沉醉其中；高潮笑點之迭起又不失其品味涵養(yǎng)，深得賴特和吉列姆之列之精髓，而且多處鏡頭處理和調(diào)度亮點獨具，讓人過目不忘，可見絕非粗鄙模仿，而是特色鮮明，辨識度甚高，作為處女作，這可謂是旗開得勝、十分成功的。最后要說的是，片尾遇見Harvey Humphries出版商處略微處理不當，同劇情發(fā)展相矛盾，尚可改進，權(quán)當本片一點瑕疵罷。

       放假以來一直很懈怠，看過的電影和書都沒寫下記錄，再撿起來首先想到的就是這出了。真神奇，并不是什么大片也不是什么非常出名口碑極佳意味深長的東西，只是個超超小成本的笑片。這說明我對這部片印象有多深，想起來我真的很喜歡這部片呢！

    說起來本來是沖著瘦瘦SimonPegg的笑片去看的，看過ShaunTheDeath和HotFuss之后很喜歡他，加上本人生性空虛缺笑片，本來只是想娛樂娛樂唄。。。但是娛樂著娛樂著突然就被下半部治愈了。
    電影就好像英劇的節(jié)奏一樣，前松后緊，前面幾乎在胡攪蠻纏不知所云，突然就出現(xiàn)一個轉(zhuǎn)折點，然后事情突然變得全都堆在一起，把你揪得不知所措。再看到電影的最最后，才發(fā)現(xiàn)，還有些些（大大的？）懸疑，解開緣由的同時，有無端端治愈你一把。
    
    "release your fear"治愈你的東西就是有關(guān)勇氣的東西，所以我感覺應(yīng)該很容易有所共鳴吧。
    常常大聲尖叫的主人公和傻乎乎的綁架犯都被編進bagger兒童故事里，兩個人有不同的痛苦經(jīng)歷，但是卻在同一時間面對了自己的恐懼，這是最治愈我的地方。
    兒童故事什么的真的太美好了！形象可愛，故事到結(jié)尾會讓人有一種"awwww~"的感嘆.....(就是，呀~太美好了)
       說到底我就是容易被溫暖又美好的東西感動而已╮(╯▽╰)╭

       還有其實說前半部分在胡攪蠻纏實際上也不是的，真的娛樂到我了??！雖然說一開始看真的不知道這人在干嘛，怎么會這樣子。但是看Simon整天右手不能離開一把刀，一步跳過走廊從房間去到廁所，或者是洗衣服然后燒掉自己一邊頭發(fā)，最經(jīng)典的哇哇尖叫等等等各種超級囧的狀態(tài)都是很很很好笑超級萌的\(≧▽≦)/

       這是一部很可愛的電影?。?！感嘆為什么唱歌的首導(dǎo)可以做得那么好.....

       另外，看完正片后我才看的預(yù)告片，感覺預(yù)告片真的剪得太太太好了，剪出了搞笑傻逼的幾段，表現(xiàn)瘦瘦那pjama和小內(nèi)內(nèi)，音樂很溫暖，淋漓盡致表現(xiàn)電影的神奇的感覺，如果我先看的預(yù)告片可能會有超過得預(yù)期吧

這是典型噠英倫小眾電影...
神經(jīng)兮兮加上風格多變...
最讓我意外噠是Simon...
經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在喜劇電影噠他這次獨挑大樑。
大量大量噠內(nèi)心獨白都祗能通過表情和眼神來體現(xiàn)。
就沖著一點都有暸給這部電影五顆星噠理由。
故事整體沒甚麼特別。
但這種結(jié)合驚悚搞笑童話布偶為一體噠影片到眞是獨一份兒。
五分兒推薦。

講恐懼的故事，十分之貼合電影題目。
用個很荒誕既喜劇故事來講1個很深刻的東西——榮格和佛洛依德的融合咁上下，恐懼的來源和表現(xiàn)咯。個故事真系超級荒誕，系個種會令人很無語的希臘式喜劇...
一個寫開童話故事既作家轉(zhuǎn)型寫連環(huán)殺人故事，結(jié)果太進入狀態(tài)，比自己創(chuàng)造出來的作品嚇到癲癲地生活不正常，然后穩(wěn)左個很不靠譜既治療師，佢決定面對佢既恐懼就走去洗衣店（呢個洗衣店系佢恐懼既投射物），咁好彩遇到了1個睇佢既小說既忠實變態(tài)fans，呢個fans夢想成為連環(huán)殺手，于是咁橋順手綁架左呢個作家同個路人甲，一輪爭斗或者恐嚇之后，結(jié)果兩個人最后發(fā)現(xiàn)自己都系被拋棄既小孩子（路人甲一直很盡職地扮演路人甲，并且時不時推動劇情發(fā)展）。因為佛洛依德有個理論話孩子的母親等于佢既生命嘛，母親離開了孩子孩子就沒了時間的觀念，所以被拋棄了的孩子往后只能是體驗死亡。所以就恐懼，恐懼然后憤怒， 然后想做殺手咁咯...然后個作家現(xiàn)場作左個童話故事感化左個未遂既殺手放左佢同一個無辜被捉既路人甲。

anyway開頭營造個種英式仲要系舊時既恐怖片既氛圍都幾加分既。把恐懼拍得如此具有喜感...
