Deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation, 20 January 2007 Author: TimothyFarrell from Worcester, MA "Wild in the Streets" comes from the same school of film making that spawned other attempts to connect to the counterculture such as "Skidoo" and "Candy". The difference between this and the aforementioned films is that "Wild in the Streets" is reasonably clever and well-made. It isn't sympathetic to the counterculture and will likely offend those with fond memories of the time. Surprisingly, it was a big hit when released and appealed to the youth whom it ridiculed so much. Unlike "The Trip" and "Psych-Out" (two other AIP films), its not an accurate representation of the movement at all. However it does work as social satire. The direction by Barry Shear is good and makes innovative use of split screen photography. Plus, he keeps everything moving at a quick pace. In its funny moments, the film works well. In its attempts at drama, its helplessly dated and just as funny as the humorous moments. Christopher Jones underplays his role and Shelly Winters overacts. Hal Holbrook offers the best performance and Diane Varsi achieves the right note of "grooviness". The script by Robert Thom has its moments, especially the ending (easily the most ingenious part of the film). "Wild in the Streets" isn't perfect, but deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation. Those into this kind of kitsch will enjoy it the most. I'd rather watch "The Trip" or "Psych-Out" however. (6/10) -from imdb

影片讲述第一次世界大战,托曼尼亚王国独裁者辛格尔(查理·卓别林饰)上台。他的大肆扩张导致战乱不断民不聊生。并且他大搞阴谋政策,煽动民众对犹太人的敌对与仇恨,让犹太人民陷入水深火热的灾难之中。被征入伍的犹太人理发师查理(查理·卓别林饰)更是在这样的高压政策下难逃一劫。当查理逃出边境时,被驻守在这里的军队误认为是独裁者辛格尔,他趁机做了一场“为自由而战斗”的大演说。 该片是查理·卓别林的第一部有声片,摄于希特勒统治最为黑暗的时期,片中对他辛辣讽刺跟丑化比比皆是。本片荣获第13届(1941)奥斯卡最佳电影、最佳男主角、最佳男配角、最佳编剧、最佳音乐5项提名。
