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.
鲜脆的节奏，锋利的剪辑。一套直行带插叙下来，整个片子都利落极了。
过于紧绷，努力地为情绪制造出口，宣讲也可以如此不坦率。缺少合适的指挥家，所谓乐谱不过是一沓又一沓无用的纸张。
姜还是老的辣

（另外这片在豆瓣的排序跟《亲爱的同志》放一起，也不知道是有意无意，哈哈哈哈哈）
应景是一回事，但如果艾伦索金最拿手的台词没有起到作用，那么他就会显得相当平庸，结尾强起的bgm印证了这种无力。除了萨沙的艾比霍夫曼外人物都颇单薄。“把一件事情说明白了”可算不上什么像样的标准。
三体爱好者纷纷打出一星。毕竟他们太有人性，缺乏兽性。
我也不费劲写了，就看这页面还能存在几天吧。
我是无情眼泪喷射机，疫情你还我CFA国内巡演啊😭
台詞密度高不代表就很厲害。庭審戲拍得實在太無聊了！鏡頭無聊、剪輯無聊、連演員的表演都被帶的很無聊⋯⋯一星留給這段發人深省並正在重演的歷史。看完這片也就懂了為什麼囧瑟夫會在臉書發那篇文了。P.S 真不敢相信這是拍出《 The Newsroom》的導演 ( •̅_•̅ )
看到一半没看懂从头一气呵成看完。西方自由主义的精神就在于此吧…
“当手无寸铁的人连抗议都不行的时候…就只有：
电影逗比都地方在于，幸福的控方都是相似的，不幸的辩方各有各的不幸。同时也让你深切的感受到理想主义化的情绪载舟覆舟的力量，他可以把温和的抗议推向流血的冲突，可以把肃穆的法庭变成荒谬的行为艺术，也可以让不同阵容的人们为同一件事起立鼓掌。
索金写本子的时候都没想到这部会有多应景吧。有几段游行者和警察对峙戏的背景音乐热血得像台湾青春电影。以及，雀斑又一次演了街垒旁的schoolboy。
“我们绝不倒下，让刽子手显得高大。”（不太喜欢结局的处理方式，扣一星
看完之后又去回顾了下911事件 窒息和难受
确实太适合后疫情看了，尤其2020年初的时候。然而疫情这场灾难已经转向了无人知晓的地方，以后谁会来写2022这部音乐剧呢
好感人
好喜欢！百老汇实力真牛
