回复 :无人不知的美国大亨霍华德·休斯在晚年过起了隐居生活,在人们的心中愈加神秘,然而有关他的任何一点新闻都会牵动美国人的神经。这次引起轰动的是一个小作家艾尔文(理查·基尔),他声称得到授权为休斯写回忆录。新闻每天追踪着关于休斯的各种消息,休斯的传记也如约出版。艾尔文因此一夜致富,闻名全美。就在这一切进行的如火如荼时,艾尔文和他的亲友却感到惴惴不安,因为一切都是假的。他们根本没见过休斯,更没有什么授权,他们只是为了一个谎又扯一个谎,最终织成了弥天大谎。或许更让艾尔文悲哀的是,他已经难分生活的真实与虚假,他编造着别人的生活,也让自己走入了谎言的陷阱。
回复 :Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
