Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
sure it’s predictable and cheesy BUT that’s the point! we don’t get wlw romcoms like this often no one dead no horrible trauma not about coming out no homophobic in sight. this story is exactly what i’ve always wanna see growing up. a purely cute and sweet wlw romcoms
各方面都比较优良的青春动画。立意不深，但很合适这种小清新的喜剧动画。JC画妹子真的可以信赖，剧情虽然有点点天马行空，但是很浪漫，使人小感动，推荐
打个4星半问题不大,因为心流非常舒服,所有剧情都在大俗大雅的边缘疯狂摇摆,但毕竟吉浦康裕,每次都在崩坏的边缘给拉回来,个人感觉是近年来少有的想看第二遍的动画,eva终我都只想看半遍,吉普老贼十年磨一剑啊
Stan for sapphic content
Sports and lesbian!!! oh I love my sapphics😭 just when I was saying we need more female version of heartstopper!💜
真的很喜欢这种电影，虽然女二诗音是AI，但是她几乎已经和人一模一样了，有自己的思考，帮助女主获得幸福，包括女主的朋友们.最后的结局也是大团圆，这种成长的催泪剧真的很治愈，差点又像未闻花名一样破防了😭
青春可爱校园姬片乌托邦 看完收获到一个好心情
关于初次的悸动 好可爱好可爱 喜欢自由的环境 principle虽然出场不多但每次都是大爆笑 wish my school had a kingpun!
永远不敢主动搭讪自己的心仪对象。
无聊，但可爱。配乐有girl in red🥰
AJ is way hotter than her sister
5.5。青春懵懂 年少美好 充盈着粉红泡泡的成长故事 多少有点too good to be true.
奇怪 这几天遇到的题材怎么都是同性 这部不难看 会让人禁不住感叹 青春真好 有颜真好 自信飞扬真好 1470
百合电影终于不再是哀苦悲剧迎来甜甜校园爱情了|∀` )
高中生小女孩的故事，老妈就那么另类，小女孩们真是自由啊，而且整个学校的气氛都是那么的自由宽松
几个女性角色身材都好健康好喜欢，没有那种传统青春电影里必有的高颜值角色，女主几个发型真的可爱死了，还有女主妈就是Karen本人吧，故事情节还是蛮无聊的换成异性恋压根不会有人看吧，aj的艺术天赋还有父母的元素没有好好挖掘就结束了。
和《真心半解》之间差了十个《爱意，绽放》吧。
很轻松很有趣。我觉得这片最棒的一点是它没有去写酷儿的社会/家庭困境，也没有写她们有多“不同”，纯粹是以成长和恋爱为主题。这也算是LGBTQ作品里一股清流，适合夏天。
（怎么可能会没有girl in red呢）
看到如今的欧美青春校园片都开始沉溺于LGBT，我整个无语。难道这是怕不沾点儿政治过不了审？（笑
