這是一套很不錯的小品，完全體現在一套好電影可以只需要一個好劇本。（另，當然，一套好電影是必須起碼有一個好劇本）。 整個電影只有幾個塲景－主角們的家，小小黃巴士，午餐廳，便利店，酒店，停屍間，選美會塲。一條公路。101分鐘，靠什麼沒有悶塲和令人反思？是人物。 因為人物，所以對白（或沒有對白的對白）；因為對白，所以決定；因為決定，所以情節；因為情節，所以故事；整塲戲才有推進。有推進才有觸動人的情緒，才有戲味。 情節是因為那人的性格而自然發生，不是硬生推砌，或用一個又一個的巧合來＂做＂出來。 不論人物是好是壞，你喜歡或不喜歡，只要他是活生生的，戲就好看。 為了這個看後感耽誤了好一陣，因為太難寫，或者要重看幾遍才寫得出來。現在也因為這電影名字跟一個人的名字很類似而生厭，所以，對不起，要放棄了。 我唯有只quote每個人物的一段對白我喜歡的對白來作結： Dwayne: You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... Fuck that. And fuck the Air Force Academy. If I want to fly, I'll find a way to fly. You do what you love, and fuck the restGrandpa: Losers are people who are so afraid of not winning, they don't even tryRichard: Everybody just pretend to be normal. Olive: Do you eat ice-cream?Sheryl: She is 7 years old and finally she will get itFrank: Yeah. French writer (Marcel Proust). Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that 這是那年的奧斯卡最佳原創電影劇本。
