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.
每年一部的小新剧本比柯南剧本扎实多了。青春是什么。
最主要的是青春这一主题，青春是什么？
小新这种屎尿屁题材，最适合的还是小的动画剧集，各种日常叙事的调味品。拍成大电影就有点过于重口了。这就好比郭德纲还是适合说相声，你要是让他连着说4个小时于老爷子的事儿，也受不了。
不知道为什么散发着古早味，以及已经过了看蜡笔小新的年纪。PS：万万没想到摘下面具是个いけめん啊
看完只想说一句小新牛掰，新风万岁！反乌托邦式的场景设定，天才还是庸才的对峙背后是对教育制度的反思，推理追凶的类型模式也带来了新的观影趣味，但核心仍是一贯疯癫热血的喜剧基调，对友情的守护是戏剧推动力，也是让人泪目的情感内核，能把一个剧场版的动画拍到笑中带泪，几十年保持整体的高质量，冲这一点也要向新酱鼓掌。PS:希望隔壁的柯南剧场版可以向小新取取经。
“青春是自卑感，遗憾，狂欢，闪闪发光……”成长的道路渐行渐远，但是还谢谢大家的陪伴。 这个剧场版真不错。
《大人帝国》站在新世纪之初表现了怀旧与前进的交锋；这部在2020s之初，面对科技、教育的发展，讨论了更为深广的社会问题。前半部分，直接抛出：教育与社会阶级、教育内部的阶级、电子产品与图书馆、AI与教师等一系列问题，然后用“吸屁屁怪”象征“分数执念对人的异化”，进而把讨论对象集中到个体间的关系上。从一部写实剧逐渐向推理剧过渡。推理部分很有趣，能够推着观众一起进行思考，不乏对《柯南》和《哆啦a梦》的致敬（那个“33”笑死我了）。最后从推理返回到写实剧，用一场马拉松讨论青春与成长的本质，讨论梦想与友谊之间的矛盾，最终回归到传统的母题：直面生活，享受生活，追寻快乐。贯穿始终的，还有美牙广志二人的暗线，进一步表现父母在孩子成长中所扮演的角色。2022年开年最佳，《蜡笔小新》系列最佳，哭得稀里哗啦。
前面真的是尬到我了，说是本格推理用的全是变格手法，而且是真的过于乏味冗长了，直到赛跑环节的出现..何谓“青春”我想春探部成员们的行动以及台词已经诠释得很到位无需我再赘述了，我只想说这是我看过最燃的一段奔跑，没有之一。小新一直走这个方向的话就太正确了，远比他的搞怪和恶趣味来得深入人心。可以给四星，毕竟在现在这个年岁还能有心思来看长不大的小新已经实属不易。
我不喜欢人类，但是，我喜欢你。～～～～～年度最甜表白～
青春就是，你想去做什么的时候就去做什么！形形色色的人，形状各异的青春！
精英什么的去死吧，虽然途中迷之走向变成推理剧了……但这不比柯南的年货剧场版好多了，就这么点票房真是匪夷所思
青春 FIRE!
嗯，我们00后也长大了，观影过程会感概良多~

但是谁都知道以后的事变数太多，所以小新才要大声骂回去：要活在当下啊。
老大真帅…
反精英教育和反智能化的青春片。好温暖。阿呆居然恋爱了呜呜怎么会！
完蛋了，小新和风间的cp锁死了。青春真是个谜团啊哈哈哈。
还好，春日部防卫队永远五岁。其实不会真正去面对分离的，我的新风。
马拉松把我燃哭了 新酱一家真是太好了 帮忙了的米娜也很好 鬼义理阿正太戳笑点了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！！！！！！！！！其实整个校园背景细想一下很真实甚至恐怖 我永远不要当精英
