　　該取材于武穴市4000多名黨員下社區、進小區，通過黨建引領老舊小區改造的故事：建于上世紀七、八十年代的老油廠小區，有9棟樓160多戶居民，是一個典型的無物管、無主管部門、無人防物防的“三無”小區。這里許多居民亂搭亂建雜物間、小車棚，下水道破損無人維修，生活污水橫流，居住環境十分惡劣。有條件的住戶外出購房搬離后，又將這里的房子出租出去，導致這兒的居住環境更加復雜。龍潭社區主任張昊陽借老舊小區改造之際，做活黨建+的文章，派出社區片警樊玉鋒任第一支部書記，引導居民開展“法治、德治、自治”。在社區工作者和小區黨支部+業主委員會的共同努力下，解決了一批居民急難愁盼的事，終于讓居住在這里的近千名群眾生活出現了新業態。

　　1982年，英國傳奇重金屬樂隊Spinal Tap搖滾樂團紅極一時。電影導演馬蒂（羅伯·萊納 Rob Reiner 飾）是Spinal Tap樂團的一位忠實粉絲。Spinal Tap樂團要來美國舉行一次復出巡演，馬蒂則為Spinal Tap樂團拍攝隨行紀錄片。本部仿紀錄片刻意杜撰出一個英國搖滾樂團Spinal Tap，活靈活現的刻畫出了搖滾樂團臺上臺下表里不一的嘴臉，對當代搖滾樂做出了尖銳的諷刺和嘲諷。　　本片由羅伯·萊納自編自導自演之作。影片中的電影音樂均由演員們親自演奏創作而成。

　　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.
