Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
Important film at a critical time
因为我来是叫人与父亲生疏，女儿与母亲生疏，媳妇与婆婆生疏。太10：35
在此时这部电影的社会意义大于电影本身。拍的中规中矩，反派塑造的太不立体，尤其是大法官傻的莫名其妙。复杂度密度很高～Abbie和Tom两个不同文化派系的矛盾和融合拍的喜欢。
虽然到最后意识到是强烈的爱国主义片，但是真的感动，以及七君子中很多为何后续都没有善终
女机长饰演者的姬气真的溢出屏幕惹…她说台词有丈夫和孩子的一瞬间让人好出戏lol
The whole world is watching.except us.
通篇就讲了一件事：怎么样叫作“不拿人当人”，以及人之所以成为人，是如何做到的。中国的现代史上也有这么牛逼闪闪的人物，只是他们成不了电影。最后宣读阵亡名单时，小朋友站在法庭椅子上向父辈致敬的一刻，犹如《死亡诗社》一般热血，也是民权的希望之所在，最好的启蒙教育，最好的父子传承，就是这样完成的。
Phoenix Theatre, London, 4 Nov 2021. 疫情之后看这个剧还真是很有强心剂作用，大家唱得真好啊！
多场景人物是个挑战 ，但演员们利用换装、语言、腔调、个人特色和集体行动进行了不错的区分。从因911事件而被困的航班乘客角度来看具体生活，这个根据真实事件改编的故事变得温暖而有力—互帮互助、团结友爱才是人与人间关系的真谛。故事线与音乐台词前后映照、完整叙述，引人深思。Suddenly我喜欢上了机长姐姐的嗓音与气质，并成为了她的小迷妹！& I'm an islander. Welcome to the rock! 2021年版官摄
剪辑营造了叙事氛围，但为此也牺牲了流畅性，整体是种凌乱的观感。故事本身很值得记录，电影拍的精彩但套路，很"聚焦"，是冲着奥斯卡去的了。
Debate大于Art的实证。所有的审判都是反道德的，其反面即所有雄辩都是反理性的。抛弃现实的多异性和复杂性，是一种手段，也是目的。
喬說那時他在芝加哥公車上遇見過William Kunstler，向他表達了敬意，就在七人案審判期間。比照如今…一言難盡。
几位主演的表现都可圈可点，开场几分钟就构建好了被主审的五位的人物弧度。最令人印象深刻的是里朗斯扮演的辩护律师，预定奥斯卡最佳男配角提名。
虽说是美国之耻，却仍是对美国制度的一次反向肯定：在如此恶劣的处境之下，你仍有借助程序绝地反击的机会。
B.不能乱啊
或许是我笑点低，一直哈哈哈地笑。确实很有趣
终于有人接住了示威者扔来的鸡蛋，替我圆梦了！
叙述方法比较朴实，如树桩生火慢燃，前期烟很浓，等到多线叙事之后，明火熊起，屡屡有爆响，但又一直沉稳不漾。这个剧本经纬密集，看的就是其繁复不乱有风的微观细节，真是以秒来计，操劳两小时的活计。
牛逼的剧本，索金宝刀未老，插叙的剪辑看的太爽。配以当今2020的各种时食格局，实在是沉浸代入体验感1w倍
全世界都在看！好一个“误打误撞”的借古讽今？！枪林弹雨般的密集台词与行云流水的叙事节奏相得益彰，很显然，这是编剧的胜利，以及好剧本的魔力！
