亚历克斯．考克斯执导的本片在美国曾产生过一定的影响力。主要讲述在十九世纪中叶，春暖理想主义者威廉华克应美国资本家科尼利厄斯范德比尔之邀，春暖率领一群亡命之徒侵入中美洲国家尼加拉瓜，不但占领了国土，还宣称自己是该国总统，因为他相信“美国人有义务保护他们的邻居不受压迫”。故事根据历史事件改编，对美国人的侵犯行为作出了大胆而深入的探讨。全片气派雄伟，场面壮观。曾主演《心深处》的性格小生埃德．哈里斯在本片中扮演烽火怪杰威廉华克，表现相当突出，有震憾人心的演出。

回复 :"The Witch Burnt Alive"After a very long, but visually arresting animated opening credits sequence, Luchino Visconti (Death in Venice) directs the first story, which is the longest of the five, taking approximately a third of the film's running length. Mangano plays a superstar actress and model who travels to a mountain resort, only to find the well-to-do inhabitants have prejudices and preconceived notions about her based on her public persona. The women are all jealous and the men all want to sleep with her, but all Mangano wants is to be left alone. It's a mostly somber satirical piece, but story-wise, it languishes in its modest idea a bit long, becoming inconsequential to all but those fascinated by the realities of being famous."Community Spirit"Bolognini's piece isn't really a story. It's more of a visual gag, in a short segment that features Mangano offering to take an injured man to a hospital, driving him at breakneck speed throughout the city, but not stopping at locations where he might find aid. I won't give away the punchline here, but it succeeds in being amusing, even if it's the kind of thing that only is interesting the first time through."The Earth Seen from the Moon"The esteemed writer/director, Pier Paolo Pasolini (Salo), crafts the middle segment, which is the most artistic and memorable of the five. Reminiscent in style to "Don Quixote", a recently widowed father and his son travel around the country in search of a new wife and mother, and after a long period, they discover the literally speechless Mangano. She brings joy into their lives, but they are poor, and in order to find a better life for themselves, they concoct a scheme to try to make some quick cash. The story is contrived, and not completely interesting, but the outlandish performances, artwork, and costumes does evoke great charm and likeability. Although mute, it's probably the most appealing of Mangano's five performances, and Toto is terrific."The Sicilian"Franco Rossi directs the fourth an shortest piece, a straight-forward revenge story that comes and goes before it ever has a chance of becoming interesting. It's violent, but easily the least satisfying of the five stories."A Night Like Any Other"Eastwood's appearance is clearly the biggest attraction here, which was filmed in between the Sergio Leone "Dollars" trilogy. It's an enjoyable departure from his normal roles, playing a comedic romantic lead, and he is affably fun to watch. Famed Italian director, Vittorio de Sica (The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D.) does a masterful job with the story, which perfectly blends the mundane and the fantasy in a visually satisfying way. The story is about a bored housewife (Mangano, of course), who tries in vain to get her husband to realize that he is not as romantic as he used to be. The scene is interspersed with comedic romance sequences revolving around the couple's past romantic interludes, and dreams of how their lives should be.

回复 :捷克斯洛伐克1972年影像大师杜桑·哈那克执导的一部黑白纪录片，是其电影生涯中最重要、最有影响力的一部作品，也是捷克电影史最重要的作品之一。拍摄完成后，因其主题过于灰暗，关注乡村中命运悲惨、失去劳动力的老人，无法通过捷克电影局的审查。捷克文化部长、诗人Miroslav Valek出面挽救了该片，将其更名为《旧世界群像》而转移了审查的压力。这部纪录片的灵感来自马汀马伦克拍摄的老年人物肖像摄影。看似奇特的人物常隐藏着悲剧性的命运，他们因为贫穷、自私、疾病或老迈而频频挣扎，却又同时对抗着这世界。
