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.
他们家就是我家的装修范本！我永远爱这母女俩！
爸爸的教育方式很好 家长要是能学会“I let you down”就好了
确实有一点点丧失一贯水准，有点像精灵旅社的风格了，和哥特有点差距
就是不愿服老啊，他还知道，就是要做无谓的反抗。
明明该很有趣，但是每个情节的推进都很无聊
说实在的……只把奥斯卡的趴当背景音听的……每个有意思的ip到了你坞第二部就只剩哥斯拉式的大战了，毫不意外
走路都颤颤巍巍，还能征服寡妇驯服野马…在那个警局都没有的墨西哥小镇，老牛仔既能把牛仔精神传承给下一代（下一代是个墨西哥新移民了），又彻底告别打打杀杀，凭治愈动物的一技之长造福乡邻，找到人生归宿，感觉有点「礼失而求诸野」的意思，也是东木君与他的牛仔电影生涯做的平静道别了吧
漸入佳境，大章魚挺好玩的，本週內第二次看到高領毛衣喬-當boss 模板了
第二部的剧情略显随意…以是不是亲人切入，但是小怪物一家就是很与众不同的呀，所以…单纯的去旅游世界加一些奇奇怪怪的故事比较有意思
给画质加一星真滴好牛！但是烂得彻底，看前几分钟就忍不下去了，谁都喜欢不来的，这要是还有第三部真的是不要脸了简直就是灾难
明明该很有趣，但是每个情节的推进都很无聊
《哭泣的男人》隐约有些《廊桥遗梦》+《完美的世界》的味道，但克林特·伊斯特伍德老爷子毕竟已是91岁鲐背之年，片子的整体精细程度已不如已成传奇的两部前作，不过个人风格仍是满满，豪放不羁，欹嵚历落。牛仔迟暮，壮心不已，片中酒馆老板娘的话才是画龙点睛：“我做我想做的事，无须别人来告诉我该怎么做。”主题曲为影片增色不少，值得单曲循环一整天。（《Sabor a Mí》《Find a New Home》）
对于Wednesday来说，一辈子的感情只够抱爸爸一次
但还是不得不佩服他，又一次，本片两个成年女角色都对年迈的他青睐有加，啧啧。
年过九旬的伊斯特伍德宝刀不老，继续延续着他的牛仔传奇，既执导，也亲自出演。此次的战场是在墨西哥，虽然也涉及到犯罪与追击，却是一老一少的温馨故事。影片探讨了男子汉气概这个词，这也是伊氏以前影片的重点，是西部片的主要价值观及最大卖点，在此片中则予以否定。善良、信任与家庭，才是强调的重点。影片中表现最出彩的，就是那只名叫男子汉（马乔）的斗鸡，它每次的突然出场，都成为转折点，并让观众忍俊不禁。片名不知为何如此翻译？
pasaran mas de mil anos, muchos mas, yo no se si tenga amor la eternidad.
合家欢电影，人物刻画更多的吃设定。没看过前作的话不太友好，会一头雾水。不过，作为轻松愉快的电影观看体验还算及格。
91岁！🐮b的冬木老爷子！电影节奏其实有点像老爷子的行进脚步，缓慢且坚定，出其不意的时候可以给人一拳，停下来跳舞的时候充满了对爱与美的留恋。年青人选择踏进美利坚开始新生活，他则留在了如同幻梦一般的桃花源，finding new home是牛仔最好的归宿。曾几何时，我以为这才是真正的美国。
打打嘴炮骑骑马，哄个姑娘飙辆车，毒枭斗不过公鸡，4 real？小朋友的演技有点太用力了，听老头子感慨“macho is overrated”有点辛酸……开头以为是公路片，到中间开始变成老牛仔在墨西哥小镇的温馨退休生活，全片都在担心东木头会骨质酥松摔倒不起，完全不在乎拍了个啥了，不容易
说实话没有第一部好看，但是还是故事说清楚了
