For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
形而上的说法：如何成为大写的人；通俗点的说法：妈宝成长记。视听语言美丽，巨人部分略感动。
2.5 画面很美，光影诡谲，色调很美，音乐迷人，充满诗意。但，我是在看电影，而不是只在念诗，或者是唱咏叹。
如果作为寓言来讲的确冗长，拍摄的风格可以，有那种旧式格林童话调调，没有也不需要缜密的逻辑，您也别问，问您就low了。。。
基督最后的诱惑+道连格雷的画像+小王子。David Lowery就像我们写高考作文一样，总是亲切和蔼地给一段点题的长独白。情感上我还是更喜欢A Ghost Story，但是这部也可圈可点。
猫科和犬科真是人类纯真友谊的终极梦想，狮子和狼都不放过。大猫大狗依然可爱温情。然鹅直线剧情比较缺乏铺垫过分牵强，女主演技也莫名其妙似笑非笑。结局更是离谱做作。不过我也反对马戏团动物表演的行为，为了娱乐大众对动物太残忍。
129分钟45秒 23.976fps 流媒体WEB 电影比较晦涩难懂，看到最后才会明白，高文爵士赴约的经历其实就是骑士精神塑造的历程。
这女孩真好 她会比较轻易地原谅 这和家里的教育是分不开的
同样的戏份 人类就那么蠢 动物就很智慧 特意突出谁 还是……？
美术很赞，别出心裁的打光、巧妙的构图，舒适的色彩，这是一部为电影院而生的电影。艺术感浓烈，风格诡谲，是A24的味。可惜剧情实在是欣赏不来，更谈不上史诗。舒缓的节奏加上阴郁的情绪很催眠，一不小心就睡了…
很有在看 上古神话的感觉，就是那种莫名其妙的感觉 的故事，加一星给巨人 和一些反类型的段落，
尸骨旋转镜头—大卫洛维标签 这次我更喜欢母体巨人
既成的文本已然是禁锢，而打破现有认识的结构亦是自我重复的，于是足够繁多的符号却纷纷掉落了下来，观看趣味变为了对符号拾捡的趣味，我们对大卫·洛维的期待真的只是如此吗，或者他这次终被自己反噬，从这个意义上讲，电影可以看作人类永远无法走出的困局，亦是创作难以跨越的瓶颈。
美术风格、画面镜头、服化道这些都极尽完美之能事，故事剧情就算了吧，原本就是个没啥看头的传说故事，看之前可以先去读一下那个故事。
影像太强大，从一段幻梦坠入另一段幻梦，可一切并没有组成一个整体而显得乏味 3.5
一个插曲
灯光和BGM营造了一个很棒的世界观。故事中的水有点多，中间就好像是在故意吓唬人。总之真正的骑士是可以直面恐惧
才不是为了巴里看的这部电影，不过出场总共就那么一小会儿。
这是前不久看了《白狮奇缘》之后又看的一部分法国动物题材电影。
David Lowery这导演可以直接cancel了，我看还有一部《老人与枪》，也就算了吧
Was David Lowery always this pretentious or he just hid so well I never noticed?装神弄鬼，毫无意义
