The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
太浪漫了！
剧本合格，演技略尬。风格很有欧美的味道。给我个人的震撼远不如《恐怖游轮》，但和《彗星来的那一夜》可以一比。森林之外的母子情算增添了点意思。看了影评才知道一些有趣的细节。总体还行吧。
现在看东出昌大的电影会觉得有点奇怪，虽然这部他演得还不错。逃离主流社会的男主，虽然有可爱的妻子和孕育中的孩子，抑郁症还是无法好转，只有在不停的奔跑中谋求平和。被孤立的转校生，虽然有姐弟俩愿意和他一起玩，愿意教他游泳，但他心中一直无法平静。自杀未遂的男主虽然最后失去了妻儿，但他还能感受脚踩草地放肆狂奔的快乐。跳下岩石的转校生悄无声息地失去了生命，内心从此不再受到困扰。无论是哪种选择，都可以理解。只不过，留下希望的那种，就留下了快乐的可能。
这种感觉，这种镜头，这种叙事真的很好莱坞的感觉，我一开始总有种违和感，怎么是中国人在演，这到底是哪国？林场，美式别墅，还有枪…
虽然借鉴痕迹很重，但故事完成度还是比较高的，可惜男主表演不太到位，整部戏都木口木面在念台词，氛围也没有慧星来的那一夜好。
（题外话：奈绪真美）
很喜欢最后跑步的结尾。其他部分可能是函馆都市景观欣赏。
我承认是个不知所云的烂片，可有些桥段难免让我共鸣。毕业、人生失去目标、对一个人的执着迷恋和依赖……默默等待这些消失在人生大背景里
感觉就是各种电影大乱炖，恐怖游轮+彗星来的那一夜。作为网络电影，剧情设计上，虽然细究起来还是有bug，但总体来说还不错，演员演技和台词设计上还是有很大的进步空间。3.5星，好评鼓励一下。
什么可以成就一个出色的耶鲁学生和作家？
东出昌大人很烂，但演技是真的闪光（但是他人很烂
看的自己都要变精神分裂症了，要不是冲着雷神我才不会看
伯德小姐，JR先生。复古老爷车，旧式保龄球。平淡而又感人的人生日志。（其实uncle的形象有点过于完美了）
和《双鱼陨石》同一天看的，看之前觉得都是国产网大的水准，都是一眼就能看出来借鉴了哪些作品的，不抱期望，没想到两部片子都给了我惊喜。值得鼓励的。
唉。人生呐。病了要治，活着好难。少年呀，人生没意义，在角落也要好好照顾自己呀。
典型美式成长电影；大本一瘦回去就显得年轻多了。
我这个可以看慢片闷片的人都看不下去了。实在太流水账了，没有能和人物建立情感链接的纽带。导演George Clooney对于“为什么我要关心这个人物”一点都不在乎，一个劲的直线输出，完全不在意观众有没有反馈。说实话他导演一直就这个毛病。早期还好点，confession of a dangerous mind和good night and good luck有演员人物加持。这部就完全撑不起来了。
被影评吸引过来的，可惜整个彗星+恐怖邮轮，留的几个悬念并没有很好的撑起剧情，国产片还是缺乏创新
就想杀人有时也没有理由一样
通过毁坏自己(与自己的生活), 东出昌大蜕变成了很不坏的演员
