Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.

I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

这个小白就感觉像是社交交友版的大白。
总之科技狂潮是无法阻挡的，爱怎样怎样吧。
这是保罗·索伦蒂诺的私人追忆，是蓦然回首的乡愁。法比托的成长故事与青春变故，是导演本人借诸光影术的还魂，一次真挚的召唤。
互联网巨头们想尽一切办法致瘾留住你，
「罗马让我很失望」
结尾处，少年戴上耳机，闭上眼睛聆听，车窗外的风景被飞快掠过，阳光散射在座位上，好多年好多事过去，似乎生活又回到这个平淡而美好的下午
每个孩子都有一个小白的时代，社交建立在固有的网络模式之上，非理性跟风显露，号称的坚固友谊死板单一全不可靠，与此相对的，跳脱程序的阿荣在一穷二白的情况下与巴尼真心相处，开发了更适合孩子个性释放的交友准则，怪胎不怪，只是缺少足够的理解。
孤独苦涩的男孩成长史，大家庭环境胡闹扭曲怪异，电影也没有回避最痛苦的部分。

开始很俗气，后面好一点了，谁知道最后又变成编剧赶去老妈葬礼剧本……社恐只能强行治愈，不能独享反社会bugAI，敲里吗，强烈建议超度现充和云现充
对社交网络、大数据算法、隐私泄露的一次嘲讽。国内没引进，不知道是不是几个巨头看了不敢啊。
7.0 一开始的设定和《智能大反攻》太像了，搭配永恒不变的“友情”难免落入俗套，但还是很吃情怀这一套的。
正如我们发明了什么，就再也无法摆脱什么。
类似的题材和表达，更喜欢《当我们仰望天空时看见什么》
很好玩的一点都不低幼的动画片，这个小白不输大白。探讨了人工智能在社交方面的可能性，还是很担心，会因为人工智能变得越来越懒，甚至退化。有时候，离线更好玩。
7分.适合孩子看的动画片，人生总是需要朋友的，特别是年轻的时候。其实这里的机器人不过是功能更加丰富的“手机”。把控着呆萌、人性化和正能量的最好平衡让机器人可爱和打动人心。我们享受着人工智能带来的各种便利，其实也在暴漏着自己的各种隐私。
同类型题材屡见不鲜的情况下创意和剧情都不错，只是节奏有些紊乱，中段明显down了下来，不过整体还算合格的合家欢
不太好 还是那种沉迷于AI技术缺乏人与人之间的交流的戏码 这次却感觉不到对交流缺失的振聋发聩 甚至有点根本没解决好问题的缺憾。本来自己的机器坏掉有自己的思想这种套路可以拍得很有趣啊！但最后他到底和家里人怎么多了沟通 没说，孩子们和Ron代码的机器人怎么算是不孤独的交流 没说。不过让我特感动的也有 是他们跳下悬崖后Barney抱起了Ron说“我捉到你了”，Ron却反过来扶起了Barney说“我才捉到你”，这不就是他们俩的友情的写照吗？最后想说奶奶还有那只山羊好搞笑啊出个番外篇吧！
期待一个机器猫似的不完美机器人遇到不完美小孩的故事，后半段急转直下开始对抗互联网公司的算法，无聊极了。当观众不觉得不完美机器人可爱的时候，整个设定就不成立了。
