全民进化时代

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.

集合了所有人的力量，佃制作所和帝国重工的无人拖拉机Landcrow终于完成了。然而，上市销售数周后，销售额却迟迟不见上涨。相比之下，Gear Ghost和Daedalus研发的达尔文销量却很好，双方差距因此越拉越大。为扭转局势，帝国重工的下任社长候选人的场想了个办法，那便是助达尔文小组一臂之力，同时给帝国重工的分包公司施压。由此，脱离达尔文小组的企业日渐增多，达尔文的库存也慢慢见了底。竞争对手的势头以这种意想不到的方式得到了制止，但佃制作所的成员们却心情复杂，因为这并非是源自消费者对自己技术水平的正当评价。而进退两难的重田和伊丹也给出了意料之外的反击……

德国导演沃纳•赫尔措格（Werner Herzog）即使不是唯一，但也可以列入世界上最富冒险精神导演行列了。他的影片往往充满了刺激和挑战，或在热带雨林和另一个疯子克劳斯•金斯基打造陆上行舟的奇景，或与各种危险动物近距离接触，为此付出生命也在所不惜。2004年的《白钻石》中，赫尔措格引领观众简要回顾飞机和氢气球的发展史。接着便带出本片另一个主角——研究氢气球的格雷姆•多灵顿博士（Graham Dorrington 饰），一个14岁时被火箭炸掉两根手指、同样富有冒险精神的男人。他们将乘坐多灵顿发明的氢气飞船圭亚那内陆的顶端丛林，以人类的柔弱之躯向自然发出挑战与膜拜……
