The film centers around Sutter, a high-school student and also a playboy. His life is changed when he meets Aimee. Aimee encourages him to find his father, who disappeared when Sutter was 9. Sutter visits his father, Tommy, and finds that Tommy is in love with another woman and that Tommy does not care about him that much. Sutter feels frustrated and begins to suspect that nobody loves him.
This is a pretty innovative coming-of-age film, which avoids the typical genre clichés. The title is "The spectacular now", and in the movie, two people try to live at the present. The first one is Sutter, who do not care about the future at all. In the end he realizes that while living in the now is OK, there's always another now tomorrow and he will make sure his nows add up to something. The second is his father, Tommy, who easily forgets about the past and lives in the moment. And of course, Tommy's life is a total failure.
Besides, Miles Teller gives the finest performance of his career. Brie Larson, who plays a supporting role, also shows the potential of becoming a star.
在陌生而又大名鼎鼎的小镇Providence,从美术馆走出的我忽遇大雨,在一个街头低调的咖啡馆/电影厅小憩,避雨。真的很巧,正好赶上这部戏的开头。里面的人物表演太赞,好真实、生动,一点都不做作。没有Miramax那种青春系的大气和张扬,却可以拍的这么真实、感动。虽然觉得剧情并不是很饱满,男主的心理发展有些跳跃,结局有些仓促——但是整体上依然非常完美。
活在当下,不是因为我们要今朝有酒今朝醉。而是为了明天,我们依然可以活的很精彩,因为有了当下的铺垫。
Describe a challenge, hardship or misfortune you have experiened in your life. What have you learned from this and how has it prepared you for the future?
My name is Sutter Keely, and I'm 18 years old. Compared to other kids I hadn't had that many hardships, not really. (Shits happened.) Stuff has happend sure, but stuff always happens, right? But the real challenge of my life, the real hardship is me, it's always been me. As long as I can remember I've never not been afraid, afraid of failure of letting people down, hurting people, getting hurt. I thought, if I kept my guard up, if I focus on some other things, other people, if I couldn't even feel it, well then no harm would come to me. I screwed up. I don't only shut out the pain, I shut out everything, the good and the bad, until there was nothing. It's fine to just live in the NOW, but the best part about NOW is there is another one tomorrow, and I'm gonna start to make them count.
Sincerely,
Sutter Keely
PS: I don't know if this was due long time ago, probably was, that's fine. Maybe too late for this essay, it's not too late for me.
什么狗屁玩意儿啊。。。长得巨JB丑的一个男的天天把自己当成一男神似的活着,前女友是一个巨JB丑的娘们儿还把她当女神了,都快吐了,导演您能有点审美吗。。。女主也挺丑的,整部片子没一个养眼的还吵吵闹闹的真特么要崩溃了...
题材真的太老套,男女主角虽然不养眼但是挺有气场…… "the best part about "now" is there's another one tomorrow."
这个导演的两部电影都有个酗酒的话题。不过这回是成长。青春的困惑与学会成长,没太多新意
对自我的认知,对未来的不确定,对家人的审视,青春总是那么多心酸,可是这部作品表现得并不好。
很难拍的片子,高中生的青春、恋爱和各自破碎的家庭,他们如何相互激励着对方战胜拯救,活出自我,一不小心就容易拍成俗套,因为这类的青春片已经被拍烂了,除非导演能折腾出点特别的东西,比如说音乐或美学品味。拯救这片子的是迈克斯.泰勒和谢琳.伍德蕾的表演,两人时刻火花四溅!★★★
苍白的剧本,无力没新意
被海报骗了!!ps美国孩子数学能力落后中国晚5年,性生活早5年,有得必有失
活在当下不代表不需要规划未来,现在是重担,是挑战,未来何尝不是?
哎。我年轻的时候咋没这么疯狂过呢。。。。(男女主颜都太差。。。。噗
活在当下!亦要知道明日何方!所以活在当下并不是一味享受当下,而是要抓住当下!好片子,青春成长爱情很好的浓缩在这一个半小时里,本片台词很多,却并不让人觉得烦躁,男女主的表演都很自在真实,特别是女主,这妹子太棒了!简直就是第二个詹妮看好她!都这么一大把年纪了,这片还看得这么来劲,悲哀
到后面还挺不错的,一个自以为人缘很好其实很装又没有爱的男生在遭受打击后懂得了当下要义而蜕变成长的美国青春故事。
两位男女主角选得不错,但结尾二逼青年的幡然悔悟还是太生硬
简简单单活在当下 着眼未来
抓住现在,骚年!
天气不错的美国小镇(Athens, Georgia),平淡无奇又麻烦不断的人生,真实细微的脸部表情,青春期里的人类,学会熟练地摆姿态标榜自我之前,成长断裂的瞬间……都是我永远热爱“观”的点,爆裂鼓手虽然长得残但是双鱼男讨喜有如神助也没办法
纯正的美式清新。剧情波澜不惊,但表演自然妥帖。生活,尤其是年轻的生活,所有细微的波动都可能是大风大浪。年轻而美。同类推荐如《壁花少年》。
谁没年轻过?闹呢这是?
主要想看这个,因为看是同一个导演就把酒醒时分连着一起看了,更喜欢这部。还是有酗酒作乐的元素,但是故事放在了青少年的世界,穿插在两个破碎的家庭,成长之痛等等捆绑在一起看着个人还是比较喜欢。但是亮点不多,也没特别之处。★★★☆
这导演为何能搞来一堆好演员
又是破碎家庭的高中生寻找自我的故事。但本片显然属于“故事不错但没拍好”的典型,看了一大半都觉得导演在顾左右而言他,最后什么都没讲成。唉,Shailene多漂亮,演技又好,片子蛮遗憾的...(DP!男主脸上那么多坑就不要搞那么多特写了好吗!)
