蔓延2009

或许很多人不喜欢这部影片，觉得剧情平淡，或沉闷。又或是被Ashton在剧中塑造的男主角的外表性感内心肤浅的形象，蒙蔽了深切的思考，认为这是一部无脑片。我却认为Ashton果然不负盛名，一半天才，一般傻瓜。以他的表演才华塑造了这个悲情角色。
尽管王尔德认为，艺术并非生活之反映，而是生活在模仿艺术。不可否认的是，电影作为某种艺术形式，在特定的情况下可以成为反例。不必一定是纪录片，像这样一部虚构的简单的故事片（又或者确有其事而不为我所知吧）也有可能反映了一个存在于地球另一半的某个角落的、离影片观众生活极其遥远的某个小人物的生活。
影片的精彩，是主人公paradoxical的生活与个性。只身来到LA，追寻着一个lifestyle in dream for every heart-breaker，从一个ML machine、whore到一个背负着深沉的感情男人，这深沉可以让他放弃浮华，打破幻想，丢掉一切。却不足以给一个美好的结局。
豆瓣评分6.3，不高。或许是因为，只有作为一个双鱼，才能够深刻感受到幻想破灭的痛，能够随着男主角一起沉浸在廉价的心痛中。

有钱的女人因为有钱，能留住火辣的帅哥
年轻的帅哥因为需要火辣的身体，所以被她深深吸引
她因为拥有火辣的身体，所以能嫁给有钱人

最直接的需要，最火辣的身体。
别骗自己了，谁都需要一个火辣的身体。

  这部电影的片尾现在是我的手机铃声，并且已经有一年多了。如果你没看过这部电影，至少可以去搜一首名叫《Ode To LA》的歌曲，我相信不会让你失望的。
  这部电影是印象中是去年4月份看的，因为喜欢Kutcher，或者说非常喜欢。我是个不懂任何电影理论电影术语的数学系学生，没在豆瓣上写过影评，因为觉得自己道行太浅，但是我看了看大家的评价，貌似不喜欢的居多，可能是我比较俗吧，我就很喜欢这部电影，那会从学校ftp下的，后来删了，前段时间又下了一遍。用我自己的语言，这是一部很“酷”的电影，我觉得像我这种不以写影评为生完全以看电影为消遣时光的人来说，这是部值得看得电影。
  很多人在看电影的时候都抱着某种心理预期，希望它如何如何，期望高了，失望自然高。前段时间《挪威的森林》上映，同志们都觉得失望，我是老《挪威》迷了，书前前后后看过七八遍都不止，大部分台词绝对能精确复述，但是无论导演如何忠实原著，这电影我还是不满意，从两个女主角的选择上我就不满意，这种不满意是因为直子和绿子在我心目中已经有根深蒂固的映像，所以这两个女演员的选择就是失败的，更别提演技了。
  不好意思，跑偏了，这电影是部帅哥美女云集的片子，这种片子用来打发时光是很合适的，Kutcher的新片《Killers》评价也不高，可是我还是喜欢的不行不行的，随便大家评几分，我还是觉得好看，我想表达其实是观影感受这种东西很个人，就像我玩音乐器材，一样的耳塞有的人说低频太多，有的人又会说低频太少，反正因为而异，最好的观影思路就是
1.不报期望
2.不受先如为主的印象所困
这样才能以一个比较尊敬的态度看电影。
当然如果你花了钱去电影院却发现这片子很倒胃口，比如当年的《无极》，去年的《东风雨》，再怎么骂也不过分

It is a story about love game. How to catch a woman, get her laid, and pay for your bill. How to catch a rich guy, get him commit and marry you.

I love Nicky. Love his 6 or 7 inches face, his body, and his careless attitude towards everything. If I was a rich middle age lawyer, I don't think I could make another decision but keeping him.

I love this movie's first half part, when Nicky still lives in Amanda’s gorgeous mansion up the hill. He is a born heart broker. He is cute, but he is not interesting. He knows nothing but pleasing women and wasting his day in the pool and making pointless phone calls.

It is so real. When Amanda found out Nicky was staying in her place, drinking her beer, watching her tv, and getting a blow job from a naked woman, they got into an argument but ended up in fucking. From that moment on, they know exactly what each other’s role is. But Nicky is naughty. He still wants to fuck around; he doesn't care Amanda’s effort to keep him. Amanda’s surgery is for no one but him. But he doesn't care. Why should he care? Anything you earn without hard effort is not exciting at all. He needs challenge. He needs someone to be his counterpart.

He enjoys the lifestyle a rich woman can provide to him, but he doesn’t like the fact how he got it. . He is a womanizer. All the women in his life are just tools. He knows how to use them so well, that he always gets what he wants.

I like the scene when Amanda waited for him for a whole night; he got pissed off and packed up. How she threw his clothes at him, how she slapped his face, how she cooled down, and offered to cook for him, just wanted to change her mind again and hope he wouldn’t leave. The details are so real. How a woman got mad, got desperate, got cooling down, changed mind, scared of losing some lovely toy……

I don’t like the following part, for I think even if Nicky is a frog, he is a great looking one. He struggled for his fate, he tried to love for love, but he got betrayed. Kind of sad. I don’t like to watch a cute and hot guy got into that kind of ending.

In this city, everyone think they are noble, there is no chance for frogs. (You gonna to kiss many frogs before you kiss a real prince. )

Every month, 30,000 people come to LA to live their dream life.
Every month, 30,000 people leave LA with a broken heart.
I never understand why LA airport’s departure and arrival are on different levels.
Now I know so they won’t meet each other.
