Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
配乐做得很有水准，结合画面看起来还是很给人沉浸感
很有想象力很新颖的科幻喜剧片，不错的爆米花电影
事先就知道科幻只是个皮囊，不能对科幻报期望，所以预期是感受前半部分的喜剧部分也挺好，为了更好地感受喜剧氛围，还特地挑了个几乎满座的厅，结果看完大失所望，全程几乎没笑，笑点有些尴尬，科幻部分也不行，所以看的不好笑也不感动，很失望
从科幻来说，特效不比好莱坞，但仍然是国内顶尖，还有追逐太阳、驾驶袋鼠等充满科幻脑洞的浪漫桥段。也正是因为这一层背景，让煽情部分更加让人吃得下，孤身活在月球上的孤寂，遥隔两个星球的爱情，本身就充满情绪张力。
开局节奏真的很出彩，基本上三句一笑点，笑声基本上没停过，并一直延续到了影片中段。
我本来是来看喜剧的，结果哭掉了所有粉底液。东方式的英雄永远是牺牲自我拯救他人的。

全片的笑点主要来自于类似于小品与舞台剧的那种一秒反转的梗，从情节上说几乎并没有起伏，典型的开心麻花风格，从本质上讲和李茶的姑妈还有日不落酒店这些片子没多大区别。但这种一秒反转的梗好笑还是好笑的，只能说之前开心麻花的片子比没啥变化与突破。
比预期要好✔ 继夏洛之后沈马终于又演荧幕CP了不管怎么说我圆满了😭花开并蒂，票房百亿😭😭哥姐给我冲就完事了！！！！！！
正剧的部分意料之外的精彩感人，沈腾是那种他要正经说话你也会被吸引的全能演员
中国人拯救地球的软科幻 为浪漫情节和沈腾马丽的演技加分
夸父逐日没点出来，我以为按编剧整体的倾向会怕观众看不出来插一嘴呢
剧本看出是好好编了，整体节奏，细节把控和情感都到位了。科幻和喜剧的结合蛮好，很多地方脑洞都很大。但是前半段实在是段子的叠堆，称其是电影都有点勉为其难。二幕后和第三幕节奏上来了，最终任务浮出水面，危急时刻到来，整体好了很多。本片的确出现在一个很微妙的时刻，人们既被疫情搞得精疲力竭；电影市场又亟需这样一部娱乐性极强的作品救世。在这样的双重背景下，本片有了超过故事本身的别样意义。又，本片的题材如果拍成一部严肃作品是非常合适的，喜剧来说还是有点浮。但若是严肃作品恐怕又达不到以上的功效了。
可能因为是和妹妹一起看的，笑得很开心。可惜结局没看到刚子找到它的真爱母袋鼠。
4D厅晃死我了 这风给我吹的………神马不错的 黄子韬可真是本色出演啊 致意时候说的都是salute
太喜欢袋鼠拉车那段了，浩瀚星辰的背景太浪漫了！国产电影年度镜头。时隔166天终于有一部电影可以再度走进影院。音乐用的比较满，但还都是不错的很顶，想找原声带，前后笑料和泪点的铺排比重有些两端，含腾量不小也还是看的不够。独孤月就是我的云天明啊【泪目】
最后还是避不可少地走向个人英雄主义，以及为人类未来奉献的政治正确，这点和《流浪地球》吴京的牺牲有异曲同工之妙。
电影本身还是挺具有娱乐性的，挺好看的，令人目不暇接的动画部分很精彩，country road也很好听，但我现在看不了宣扬为了多数人（所谓的“整个社会”）牺牲一个人（少数人）的故事。这种理念被滥用的丑态我们近几年看得还不够多吗？
