　　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)

本部黑白短片讲述一对儿新婚燕尔的小夫妻，在一个星期里搭建他们的“便携式新房”的温馨小故事。九号礼拜一：他们开始按序号搭建这座“便携式新房”，可惜弄错了号码；十号礼拜二：七扭八歪极具后现代主义的新房初具规模；往后的几天里，在搭建屋内的过程中，更是发生了诸多意想不到的小插曲；十三号礼拜五，他们终于如期完成了房子的搭建，大摆筵席，可是突如其来的风波，又将如何上演，最后是否会是happy ending呢？

　　《歌舞昇平》裡有幾個如果是肥皂劇劇情肯定會被安排連成一線的家庭，他們口中的悲慘命運是如此曖昧地有異曲同工之妙，令人在觀看時會想那是誰的誰，那人跟那人又有什麼關係。
　　其實唯一的關聯是五個家庭同樣領取「綜援」，但每個故事卻往不同方向發展。他們貧窮的理由或許不一樣，處境也不一樣，結果，卻都發展成十分相似的生活狀態，殊途同歸的境地，幾乎都是對貧窮的習慣和適應，影片裡穿插著過年的片段，又和典型中國人過年有難以區分的相同與不同。
　　The film explores the hidden face of poverty in one of the world's most affluent and capitalistic cities. Directed by CHEUNG King Wai (KJ: Music and Life), the film follows five Hong Kong families of different backgrounds that receive government subsidies.  How do the poor get by in a glossy city that flaunts conspicuous consumption and hides poverty in cavernous public housing estates? All's Right With The World shares the different stories of these low-income families, their daily living conditions, and their ways of celebrating Chinese New Year.
