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.
我们虽然说要有仁义，但是这是儒家文化圈才有的内容，也是东亚区才能理解的内容。在世界大部分地区，拳头才是真理，也没人在意仁义，能打到他，打疼他，他自然听你的。这个世界大部分人和国家，都是吃硬不吃软
（不过他们确实很严谨，知道全程戴口罩🐶）
战争戏牛逼，其他就不做评价了，本身也是看战术武器的。
可能俄语字幕组人太少，用了机翻，有些地方受到影响不知所云。飞行实战部分很精彩。
精苏落泪。
有很多苏联时代的泪点，有很多对我自己的泪点，（对人生对国家对家庭的思考，对战争的认识）在2022寒假回家的火车上看的，真的落泪
只能说精苏落泪，被资本主义侵蚀的老毛子费拉不堪，艺术水平都退化一大截了。
松散的一言难尽，那么就随着牛顿不曾见过的纸飞机此致敬礼吧…
俄罗斯的主旋律电影，情节有点俗套。
没有传说的那么打，特别是和我朝相近的关于家庭叙述的婆婆妈妈，不得不跳着看，Sorry，我距离社会性越来越远。建议从54分钟开始看。
除了战斗场面确实没什么令人耳目一新的。但是美国佬那句“我们没有赢过俄罗斯，只是骗过了俄罗斯”对俄罗斯人来说应该受用吧。
俄罗斯爱国主义宣传电影，前半部分介绍背景铺垫经历部分比较无聊，但俄军特种部队突袭和苏-24被击落之后的营救部分还是很燃的，总体不如T-34好看
3.5吧。
俄罗斯特种部队、海空军、为飞行员报仇进攻bk游击队，战斗场面一边倒，一点还手之力都没有啊！加上美佣兵也不堪一击！俄罗斯主旋律！剧情就真是一言难尽！
老毛子影片都得啰哩巴嗦的。这片子一小时之后开始看都没问题！战争部分可以看一看，其他部分太浪费时间！
俄式主旋律大片，和美式主旋律片子一样。苏-24的几次近距离飞行拍摄很彪悍。如果按美式主旋律片子的模式，还会有一个叙利亚女孩，善良美丽，被极端组织胁迫，最终被英雄救出。前面的文线有些冗长了
毛子版的红海行动，前面剧情有点拖沓，场面差点，但对人情的描述更细致
除了战斗场面确实没什么令人耳目一新的。但是美国佬那句“我们没有赢过俄罗斯，只是骗过了俄罗斯”对俄罗斯人来说应该受用吧。
这逆天设定！好奇下一部再怎么升级，打飞星星？
想不到毛子的特种部队也会这样，外观猛看上去和海豹真没啥区别，大量俄式特种装备大开眼界，就是空地协同也太差了，用苏24这种飞机来做治安战的战场遮断和对地支援。
