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.
除了一帮真球员上场以外，也没啥特别之处，主要我不是篮球粉，可能很多细节看不出来，很多球员也不认识。总归故事中规中矩，跟同类型比较区别不大。PS：因为是桑德勒就是喜剧吗？！6.6
一个平庸的故事如何被拍的这么好看，这剪辑，太好了
体育拯救我的🐶周末！周六上午看NBA总决赛库里，周日上午看UFC张伟丽，周日晚上看NBA球探电影！电影说不上有多好，但是规整的体育题材电影好久不见。Sugar Weekend！
俗不可耐的热血故事，但竞技体育的魅力还是让人血脉贲张；能看到众多的球星名宿确实也值得让篮球迷们心甘情愿地付出这两个钟头；多讲讲球探这种幕后故事挺好的，多少球员在许多年后被网友扒出基本和当年的球探报告一模一样，也算是三岁看老了
你能猜中所有的情节发展，然而还想接着看下去的
还不错啊！爱看nba的会喜欢，每一支球队的幕后工作者，可能都怀着实现梦想的憧憬坚持着这项工作，勤勤恳恳地为之付出。这部电影获得nba联盟及许多球员的支持，也叫真实呈现一个很不同的励志写实故事。
小人物成为大明星的标准剧本，天赋、汗水，以及慧眼识珠不轻易放弃的伯乐。尽管套路，不过我是真的吃这一套。街头篮球的部分非常爽快，通过流量获得选秀的机会也很有趣，训练的部分非常有升级感。只是主角最大的挫折就是受不了垃圾话，感觉挑战性有点不足。
中间过程节奏有问题，太温了，燃不起来。
虽然剧情很老套 但是那么多球星客串 对于喜欢篮球的人已经是加分项了 整个故事完整也比较燃 很不错的休闲作品
Bo最后在左臂上纹了橡树，又选了22号球衣，就很感人
打败自己，超越自己，四点起床去训练，for Kobe
电影里唯二没扮演自己的就是主角和爱德华兹，华子那张脸真挺欠打啊哈哈哈
影片既真實再現了聯盟各種角色與人物的生存現狀，也直觀展示了球員的各種陋習，骯臟的小動作、對新人的霸淩、噴各種垃圾話，當作花絮來看依舊妙趣橫生又無比真實。它用一些小小的切入點，讓我們知道優秀的體育聯盟是如何運作的，有多少人在為之工作，而電影還只能非常簡略地表達，斯坦利是聯盟千千萬萬基層工作人員的縮影。印象最深的就是貫穿全片的那句「you against you」，我們永遠都是在和自己比，比自己更強才是真正的強大。
电影有很多NBA的梗，最明显的76人管理层不就是现实里的湖人管理层嘛
其实是个很平平无奇如《一球成名》般的故事，但是谁曾想我竟然能看得热泪盈眶。love this game，以及Adam的表演真好啊...
its you against you!!!
华子怎么演这么low的角色...拿人家小孩开刀的垃圾话作为故事转折也太离谱了...这种畜牲谁碰到都会情绪激动的好叭，已经超越了喷实力垃圾话的范畴了，nba球衣可是能监听的，这个设计有点蠢了，被辱骂直接告诉大众谁会不支持波？
大博班出来的两场戏我真以为是喜剧...算是篮球大联欢了，不光球星一堆，连教授这种网红也来了，没让他打场对抗真可惜。反正看完之后，胡安是真没演技...总觉着他这个角色是按照东契奇来的吧？
针对nba球迷，中规中矩，最大的乐趣是真实球员、解说、教练出演，描述了下选秀、训练的流程。爱德华兹把反派演得挺好。
《热烈》快上了，挺适合对标这个作品的，都是中年“混子”和天才选手。文本结构扎实，没有真正的高潮，只有永无止境的前行，never back down，新纹身不错。
