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.
慢，且藏著掖著在一個很故意克制低調的氛圍下加上不太合理的配樂非常干擾。施拉德對手的理解跟布列松對手的理解也區別太大了!!施拉德是好編劇，但導演能力真太讓人捏把汗了，音品也一言難盡⋯留下印象的是夢境魚眼的奇觀運動和伊薩克抽抽臉
可是个人感觉好像也没有那么欢乐。
很简单老套的情节 很遗憾拍不出新意
看的版本翻译比较差 但是还是很好的 现实的生活 需要一些比较齁的故事让自己开心一下
前作虽然脱离类型框架，但仍在通过形式、内容的同步强化不断凝聚。这一次则在去类型化的道路上继续深入，坚决地反戏剧高潮，提炼空洞的人物形象，电影的质地也变得相对松散，有些像是《老无所惧》的某个局部。
五十度灰的清新版？色调舒服，剧情流畅，有时像在看Emily in Paris。
亲的时候没啥感情，还是吵架的时候有感情哈哈哈
《算牌人》完全可以看作是施拉德对《第一归正会》的重复，当然他们也都源自于《出租汽车司机》，施拉德将赌博与虐囚这两个完全不同的主题结合，但他们似乎又最能代表美国精神，曾经痛苦的记忆困扰着一等兵，施拉德也提醒着观众不要忘记关塔那摩的历史，它并没有从我们的生命中消失，而泰尔的《悲惨世界》般的自我救赎也如施拉德的其他电影一样充满了宿命与牺牲的悲剧意味，在《第一归正会》中牧师面对的是环境破坏的生态危机与内心信仰的危机，而泰尔是关于国家责任与道德感的冲突，不管是何种的天人之战，主人公最后的抗争都暗指着一个所谓的理性统治的国度如何被那绝望的疯狂击溃的，其中的诸多细节，如住在波特兰的母亲、权力无序下的暴力都有对现实本身的影射，施拉德留给算牌人最后的温情是对还在与这个世界抗争的人们的安慰与鼓励吧
无功无过爱情片，彼此顶嘴的话术还是可以学一学的。
还不错，男主太性感了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，结局有点硬凹…剧中有一些地方忍不住姨母笑哈哈哈哈哈哈
8.0 这部片子比《第一归正会》平易近人多了。放到今年倒是能挤进十佳了。那年第一归正会没这运气。
本来想打三星或者是三星半，但实在是太假了，或是太做作了。欧~
什么鬼东西，给我整蒙了。最后对指尖是什么尬穿地心的玩意儿，这电影跟算牌真的有一毛钱关系吗？？？
看的把我气得对空气乱打拳，跟算牌有什么关系？！欺骗我感情！！！《基赌山伯爵》罢了！ 真无语，但凡对德扑有点了解都不会这么装b吧……男主造型还是复制《东方的承诺》，看起来就是在牌桌上活不长的样子。朋友评价男主说得真好：isfj随便出门都能捡到个娃。 感情那么多，是没办法好好读人的。结尾扔下牌局跑去和长官互相折磨，对应了他无法参加WSOP的FT—heads up battle，winner takes all。讲个题外话，2021WSOP FT—HU阶段，美国业余选手乔治赢牌时，亲友团就大喊USA，对手那边亲友智囊团穿着黑Ｔ恤衫一群nerd样，结果最终bluff还是被德国职业选手阿德米尔抓诈了。 施拉德能不能做下海导演啊，这方面我是真的很认可。
主题应该就是关塔那摩心理创伤后遗症发作，和赌桌上的算计好像没什么关系。
ps全程看英语字母 会切出去查单词 观感-1 呵呵
想要放空的时候看这种爱情喜剧真的很不错 飞机上看看 感觉行程都轻松愉悦了不少 男女主都好看 很有性张力 谈恋爱就要亲亲抱抱啊！
你成了出版社新的执行官
仿佛是只能在牌桌上流转的扑克，肉身始终被关在那虐囚的监狱。赌局的筹码是道德的刑具，宾馆的白布是灵魂的洗礼，递来电话的男孩本是心中自我的重生，爱与救赎却隔着探监室的玻璃触手难及。当谷歌可以探寻地球任意街景，却没有软件可以抵达内心。当算法可以预测比赛成败输赢，却没法教人如何救赎此生。
网瘾老年这辈子还真就是写了一个人物然后反复拍。饶是如此，好片不是严格按照理论就能拍出来的
