　　自從因為太胖抓不到搶匪而登上頭條，“阿康”和他三個朋友就成了泰國警界的恥辱。這四個胖警察必須在三個月內甩掉肥肉，否則就會被懲處！當美麗的尊巴舞教練“小敏”加入之后，訓練變得令人興奮。然而，搶案持續發生，一臺銀行運鈔車被搶后損失慘重，歹徒卻沒有留下任何線索。四位警探必須在塑身的同時偵查犯罪，減肥期限將近，但犯案之謎卻仍未解開。這幾個超大條的家伙，要如何保住他們的飯碗呢？

 改編自賽珍珠的普立茲獎小說，是好萊塢在三十年代開始注意東方題材的代表性作品。影片雖是描寫中國農村夫婦的悲劇故事，但主角均由美國人扮演，導演悉尼．弗蘭克林也采取西方古典電影的風格來處理，在制作上相當嚴謹認真。劇情描寫保羅．茂尼與路易絲．萊娜本來是貧困的農民，面對饑荒的威脅甚至以烤土充饑。后來茂尼得到了一筆財富，竟整天花天酒地迷戀情婦，萊娜只有發揮賢妻的耐性期待丈夫浪子回頭。今天看來類似故事已顯得老套，但本片的拍攝與特技表現杰出，路易絲．萊娜亦獲得奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
