高中輟學生瑪利亞告訴家人自己懷孕后,父親倒斃地上,母親把她踢出家門,男朋友棄她而去。于是她孤零零一個人無家可歸。此時她遇上馬修。他是個修理電子器械很有天分的高中畢業(yè)生,但他有個原則:質(zhì)量至上,這使得他每份工作都做不長久。當瑪利亞接受了馬修的幫助,他們便展開一段令彼此發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變的關(guān)系……
When high school dropout Maria Coughlin announces her pregnancy to her parents, her father drops dead on the floor. Her mother kicks her out of the house and her boyfriend dumps her, so Maria is left alone and homeless. This is when she meets Matthew Slaughter. Matthew is an educated high school graduate with a great talent for fixing electronic devices, but he can't hang on to a job because of his principled attitude towards quality. When Maria accepts Matthew's offer to help her, they begin to form a relationship with each other in which both of them begin to change.
- “Do you miss your kids?”
- “Yes”
- “Do you hate your ex-husband?”
- “Sure”
- “Do you want to get married again?”
- “Of course”.
A cavalier convo between a high-school drop-out Maria (Shelly) and her divorced elder sister Peg (Falco) in TRUST, US indie hyphenate Hal Hartley’s second feature, gives the gist of the vicious circle that a woman often gets entangled with, and in Hartley’s quirky but roundly unconventional girl-meet-boy yarn, he will ensure that the same fate will not befall upon his protagonist Maria.
Starting from its opening’s drop-dead gambit, TRUST sets its deadpan timbre squarely in the center. Maria naively takes her jock boyfriend’s throwaway promise of marriage for granted and gets pregnant, and obliquely is answer for her father’s sudden shuffling off this mortal coil (she never knows he has a bad heart!), consequentially is frozen out by everyone else, barely getting out of harm’s way from a sex pervert in a liqueur store, she falls in with Matthew (Donovan), a retiring loner but a consummate electronic repairman who has a retrograde affinity of analog over digital and prefers repairing radios over televisions (the latter causes cancer to boot), they hits it off fine, nothing remotely earth-shattering or libido-driven, by choice, Hartley brilliantly teases out the encroaching tenderness which they will grow for each other, a healthier, more humanistic and salutary type of connection between two strangers, which prods both to make some vital decisions: an abortion or keeping the baby, securing a 9 to 5 dead-end job or sticking to one’s ground, getting married or stay as friends on the common ground of their mutual affection and trust.
There is some bad parenting in the mix too, Matthew is in the receiving end of an abusive father (MacKay), that kind would gut-punch his own son without blinking an eye, who still rankles that Matthew’s mother died of giving birth to him (called it narrow-minded or inward-looking is a criminal overstate), from where one can see where Matthew’s inchoate violent proclivity comes. More enigmatically misandrist is Maria’s mother Jean (played by an unknown Nelson with Janus-faced finesse between astuteness and sangfroid), whose confiding moment of the aftermath of her recent bereavement tellingly vouchsafes the heartening fact: Mr. Hartley is devoid of the usual unsavory male-chauvinism in his chromosomes.
The two leads are both excellent, Adrienne Shelly has a cool girl’s composure seeping through her trademark elfin air, totally sympathetic as a hapless misfit whereas a subplot entailing a snaffled infant baby singles out Maria’s learning curve of motherhood and in those moments, she is unassumingly observant and grown-up. On the other hand, Martin Donovan makes great play of a vastly conflicted persona shrouded by antisocial angst but finds fondness with an unlike match, flagged up by the grenade he carries, Matthew’s self-destructive predisposition has only one antidote, a sincere, real human connection based on mutual trust, isn’t that what everyone wants?
Shot in a shoestring budget within a meagre 11-day span, imbued with an antiseptic, blueish hue and blessed with Hartley’s expressive compositions and other winning trimmings, TRUST is whimsical but not cutesy, rapier-like but never doctrinaire, earnest yet at times you can catch its knowing wink: kookiness is the new sexy, and don’t forget, Harley juvenilia is made in 1990.

良心
重看,其實哪有必要如此吶,都是導演的浪漫主義情結(jié)(以及迷戀戈大爺)在作祟!Andrew Sarris “結(jié)尾60秒突然拯救了整部電影!”,配著Hal獨一份的悠揚配樂,小小郊區(qū)里的小小故事變得像宇宙一樣大~~ Matthew大談臭氧層想起Martin Donovan本人推特上一天八百條反政府言論,這不是本色出演誰還是本色出演,俺的理想型,一輩子的可愛angry young man
手榴彈狂暴理工男和任性弒父高中懷孕少女的共同成長。危害人類靈魂的邪惡電視,至少能麻木不斷妥協(xié)的個人原則;殘破的家庭關(guān)系就像老舊留聲機上的老舊黑膠唱片,不斷卡碟,但腦海會自然補完每一首歌。浪漫詩意動人的Hal Hartley童話
Hal Hartley 片里的死或沒死成都特別富有戲劇性。以為死了通常都沒死,以為不會死的都死了。
失足少女路遇乖戾青年,共同撐起信任的一片天
9.4/10 !驚喜!光對話就值得看兩遍(目前網(wǎng)上的字幕基本驢頭不對馬嘴,建議有能力的直接聽英文對話),從極端的內(nèi)部同性別凝視的對立(女主角家里三位女性,父親開場暴斃,男主角家中兩位男性,母親無蹤影),到一種重復(fù)雙性家庭的妥協(xié)(荒謬的婚姻),再通過一種對于育兒的麥克芬或偷孩的復(fù)演(孕檢和打胎,拯救被偷走的孩子),重新構(gòu)成一種危機之下的對話?!靶湃巍边@個標題不僅是高度的反諷(本該相信的人從不可信:家人,媒介亦是:電視慘遭痛批),更是一種處在邊緣時刻被恢復(fù)的黏性。諸多現(xiàn)代主義的構(gòu)圖復(fù)演著杜尚的Ready-Made和波普重申的日用品,唯有哲學和物理書籍去平衡這種荒誕。
很喜歡
欣賞尊重和信任真的比愛重要。
很仙氣的一部,屬于創(chuàng)作者只在青年時期才能完成的作品??吹贸龈甏鬆攲λ挠绊?/p>
即使趣味上對諷刺喜劇式類型人物處理非常不喜,也不得不承認臺詞和劇本寫得真的蠻厲害。
寫實的電影語言,非寫實的人物寫作,具有太出挑的自反視角,生命的智慧“從天而降”,本該是情境的則退化為背景的,人物離開了現(xiàn)實的土壤。
Hal Hartley這部的確較好看,掙扎墮與不墮的怒女、糾結(jié)入世與否的憤青、武裝心房的深閨母和威權(quán)父、彷彿留下光明的結(jié)尾---感覺像極簡冷調(diào)的廚房水槽電影。(也許就是沒那麼叛逆吧!)
貌似老美在90年代初拍了很多類似親子和人生觀的勵志片,小成本,所以性價比很高喲。
「信任與崇拜,比愛情更重要」順便也應(yīng)證了《我的解放日記》裡美貞的愛情觀。

這部戲的~~夾心又軟又甜~~~
每一幀構(gòu)圖都致力于拗姿勢的電影我通常是支持的哪怕它劇力不太足。馬丁唐文雖說挺高臉好像也算俊的但總有股子歪七歪八的感覺,我覺著他異??蓯?。
前半個小時是我喜歡的基調(diào),接下來走上歧途
我依稀覺得男主像臉龐微發(fā)福版的小喬
嗲和后搖(居然1990年)......每一秒都感同身受......我跳下來,你會不會接住我......
