Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
Friends最神奇的地方就在于无论你看多少遍 就算你都能对出台词 看的时候还是会笑还是会哭❤️
Joy居然胖了这么多，堪比雷神啊哈哈哈。难道是容貌焦虑吗？我看三个女主的时候都在关注下颌线法令纹。。。
😭🤣🥺温馨❤️Rachel和Monica之外的4个人都很生动，像是Friends戏里戏外都是同一个自己，钱钱菲比罗斯Joey“长大”了也就是现在这个样子。大部分名场面都还记得！真想找个人一起看老友记发展受阻宋飞正传欲望都市HouseBones和好老婆呀😢
这么个访谈的模式其实和我想象中的不太一样。当年给我留下很深印象的一集是，六个人一起围在桌前，回忆自己的30岁生日是怎么过的。面对不可阻挡的自然规律，每个人都有各自的应对方式，共同的感慨是年华易逝。那么多年之后，能就着这个场景续写一段小故事，就真的是太好了。
完全没有neta的欲望。庵野秀明25年前就疯了，现在更是疯到了第九层。
好吧，无趣时代，俺能理解瞎折腾一番，故作深沉地迎来阳痿，也算一种和解……而且，选庵野这种家伙来当人生导师也并不算坏，因为风险低——抹杀差异，再重构一个残暴而隐性的“共同体”，继而用所谓的“温柔”，扼杀掉所有生命力与可能性。
都是演技高超的喜剧演员，起码这次相聚看起来友情还在。
尽管没什么实质性内容但看的就是情怀嘛。
最后13号机和初号机的那场特摄版对打我个人是欣赏不来，在一个2D动画里用那么粗糙的3D委实辣眼睛……特摄党别来打我就行。
反而好庆幸它不是续集或者大电影，得以让最好的样子泡在福尔马林里。爱它的人怎会舍得把罐子打碎？总之今天要喝九杯水。
没能找到当初看真心为你的那种感觉了。庵野秀明努力让真嗣长大，也尝试去拯救所有人，他也许太过真诚了，让所有的角色主动放下心之壁，丢弃了一种力场，为了完成了最后的补完。
一直不太敢看这一集，事实上我从来没看过《老友记》的最后一季。在我们跟着急速展开的生活学习如何做一个“现代人”的青少年时代，这部剧制造了一个巨大的乌托邦。在那里面人们还不用为房租和薪水太发愁，周末总是完整的，在日复一日的命运劳役之外，有一个叫做“生活”的东西需要慢慢建设。有朋友、有爱人、有孩子，付出总有回报，总会过得更好。多少年后，梦早就醒了，可是我们依然对曾经制造出的幻想保有敬意。
观众真好糊弄啊。A simple Zoom call might have sufficed. If the LOTR cast could do it, you could, too. 反正都是华纳。
我还以为再拍一集呢，原来是艺术人生。最大的收获就是知道RR当年真的有点什么。假作真时真亦假，曹公诚不我欺。这部剧中最zqsg的一对是真的。
从逻辑上完全理不通（也不想理），但不妨碍我多次流泪。这就是音画的力量。连真嗣都长大了
完全不知道该说什么好，六个人只要坐在一起哪怕啥也不干都是满满的回忆杀。大结局后第十七年，距我补完这部剧也已经十年了，几位主演都老了。十年前的我无比羡慕这样的友谊，而十年后和诗社的交往让少年时代的憧憬成真（虽然大家并没有住在一起），实在是难得的幸运。当然最令人振奋的消息是，双R居然是真的！
大概人过了三十之后才会发现真希波才是女神吧……
Lisa还是当年的样子，David眼中最美的人。
比起再拍一集剧情，这种回顾方式不会破坏我们对原剧的印象，而且让RR粉多年的念想成真，真是意外之喜。而要在电视上揭露这个埋藏近20年的秘密，难怪当时片酬谈不拢了……
内容啊，都是算计，评分啊，都是情怀。那我来当坏人😂
