虚无飘渺

　　这是一部关于寻找外星人的电影，各位道友智商堪忧……各位想看大脚怪/野人那部的请移步

　　同志Henry接到祖父病重的消息。他决定暂时放下自己在纽约颇成功的事业，回答家乡照料老人，然而，在家乡他又遇见了他，那个让他多年前心碎离开的好友：一个直男，已经离婚，带着两个孩子独自生活。
　　而这位直男慢慢也开始困惑于自己对好友的感情，到底是友情还是爱情。他尝试从爱情上去接纳他，最终还是失败，毕竟他是个直人。
　　男主角一直把心思放在直人身上，却不知镇上杂货店的印第安人老板已悄悄地爱上了自己。老板每天费尽心思地为他病重的爷爷调理饮食，却羞涩木讷地不敢向他表白（这小镇的同志还真多）。在本镇那些友善的居民朋友的撮合下，他和老板终于走倒了一起。
　　故事发生在美丽的蒙大拿山区，风景优美，民风淳朴。

　　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.

　　蒂莉（凯特·温丝莱特 Kate Winslet 饰）回到了阔别已久的家乡，在十岁的时候，她因为被控谋杀了同学斯图尔特（Rory Potter 饰）而遭到了整个小镇的驱逐，就连蒂莉的母亲茉莉（朱迪·戴维斯 Judy Davis 饰）也不相信蒂莉的清白。虽然这么多年过去了，但蒂莉在这里依然是一个不受欢迎的存在，邪恶的一员伊万（沙恩·伯恩 Shane Bourne 饰）依然掌握着小镇居民们生死存亡的命脉，与此同时，他还有着另一个身份——斯图尔特的父亲。
　　蒂莉在小镇上开了一家裁缝铺，随着时间的推移，她所售卖的款式新颖的服装和闪闪发亮的布料为她俘获了一批忠实的顾客。实际上，蒂莉一直没有放弃调查当年事件的真相，她并没有杀人，她坚信当年的那个凶手如今依然生活在这座小镇里。
