结尾十分牛逼，深得我心。这部跟《舞会契约》做到了将“人的异化和救赎“的双重主题深刻展现出来，所代表导演对世界和社会的认知十分清晰。技术上，剪辑和摄影，还有构思都很强，圄于极低预算，很多段落其实可以做得更好，因此声音作用无形中放大。电影说的是斯里兰卡意识形态和民族问题造成的冲突困扰了整整两代人，毛主义游击队和泰米尔猛虎组织跟政府军的对峙，如今还加上伊斯兰极端主义的恐袭，只能说平民太苦，导演用两个对峙的村庄做为寓意基础，类比《舞会契约》也用过的手法——诅咒降临在大地，再也没有后代诞生，来说明冲突是如何将所有人的希望和生活打碎的，同时，寄望对峙的势力和解，才能诞生下一代，但结尾又杀了个回马枪，新一代又被军阀收纳到军队里，《舞会契约》继续横行，无边无际的内战黑暗继续笼罩在斯里兰卡头上，论调非常悲观。勉强及格。最要命的全片调色都过亮，看的伤眼，当然，这片子像《舞会契约》一样把演员置入历史胶片，所以这种浓调色可能是为了遮掩技术的不足，又或者是70多岁的考夫曼视力不好了。再者欧文的表演很成问题，海明威不该是这样了，欧文身上的莽夫味太浓了，你没法信这个人会全神贯注疯狂写作。海明威和第三任战地记者老婆的结合基本围绕着战争，从马德里到二战，这也结构了本片的内容，并赋予它冒险片的气质，海明威两口子和伊文思在马德里的街头拍纪录片并遭苏联的内容管控（还和苏联军官轮盘赌）、他老婆又独访了苏芬战争，二人又来中国面见蒋介石和陈冲出演的宋美龄与神秘又现代的周恩来，而两位主角的爱情戏就逊色很多了，关系的崩裂并无充分理由，可能相较前面两小时的戏份，这个环节的时间不敷安排了只好赶戏。另全片露点不少，基德曼又裸，大腚很翘Prom Pact is set at the height of prom season. High school senior Mandy Coleman and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top '80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out her acceptance has been deferred, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself off the waitlist, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors - popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham's tutor, she begins to realize there's more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
