This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
血汗打工人，又是一个“大有可为”的题材
挺好的，2022挺适合看这种打鸡血的片子，但是现实只有笨小孩没有奇迹。
很励志，能克服重重困难，赚钱治好妹妹对一个刚成年的孩子，真的是个奇迹。但每一个奇迹的背后都是无数的拼搏，不放弃，还有一点点运气。
结局的理想化减弱了过程的艰辛，除了结局，整部影片很写实很细节，有点强行煽情（逼我流泪），不知道为什么，看电影时候总有种很刻意的感觉。背景音乐都还挺好听的。
也不知道文牧野导演尝过多少人间疾苦，对小人物的把握还真是很到位，而且和曾国祥一样，把四字用得特别好，比在小红花和湖里都好。反倒结尾给每个虚构人物安排结局太刻意了，哪来这么多成功人士啊🤔
一位靠当蜘蛛人擦玻璃挣钱给员工发工资的厂长的故事。像有些友友们评价的，确实有些段落设计感明显，刻意冲突了，但是我真的从头哭到尾，我只知道我真的感动了，手指骨骨折的画面一度心碎到不敢继续看下去，磨难专挑苦命人。愿好景常在。
都是硬凹情绪但又没感觉煽情过度，只是觉得这男的太惨了，这就很奇妙。而且还感动哭了一次，最后一幕四字弟弟一身西装眼镜造型，身后的女孩们一阵惊呼，哈哈哈。兄妹之间的感情拍的很好，看的时候我在想独生子的话能理解这种责任和爱吗？
从景浩追火车那一刻起，就有了理想主义的色彩
大时代背景，
1.妹妹完美受害者
现实中小人物的艰难困苦远比电影更苦更难，然而这千千万万的蚂蚁中又有几人能得到电影结局般的happy ending呢？生为为人本就不易。。。希望一切终有圆满吧！
千玺似乎每一部电影都蛮惨，淋雨或者被打，或者淋雨被打。
70/100
确实适合年初振作的时候看…四字弟弟越来越好了！
我们都知道，疫情来了；我们也知道，大过年的。但是……
一般吧，感觉就是把主角能有多惨就往多惨里造，然后还可以克服困难，按时交货，合格达标，从此成为成功人士，圆满大结局，这才是让我不满的地方，同样的套路，同样的结局，有些打鸡血的成份，有多少人是埋葬在这个过程中，付出了努力没有回报，从此一蹶不振的，告诉我们相信奇迹，没告诉我们认清现实
从头到尾都充斥着刻意的不现实。从导演到编剧到演员都没有这种小人物的切身经历，都只是在自己的视角里诠释了一个看似充满希望的故事。不过这怪谁呢？易烊千玺这部戏演的太一般了。
喜欢这种套路的感动，今年的四字电影也是哭的稀里哗啦。
虽然知道是个主旋律片，但还是常为主角揪心。而且我们心里都知道，现实中主角如果一直保持这样正直和朴实，几乎不可能有出头之日。
一直在等色情内容的我，最终欣赏了一段坎大师的feminine depiction of obscure sexual desire.
