巨大的惊喜

Beautifully woven, complex and subtle, this film captures an essence of NYC after 9/11. A great script, some stunning photography, an excellent score that helps tie it all together, and a great ensemble cast make this small film seem quite large. The emotions that bubble under the surface, only sometimes breaking through, give this film its strength and its power. Different stories of different people all struggling with day to day life sharing the common experience of being New Yorkers post 9/11. The references to what happened are almost all unspoken, evoked through the images displayed or the background sounds, yet there is no doubt that what happened is a force in the lives of all of these people. Intelligent film-making at its best.         影片讲述的五个故事就发生在纽约人日常的生活中。特拉布勒斯是一名心理医生，他的病人桑的在经历911事件后，对四周的人、事感到愤怒和失看。特拉布勒斯运用自己独特的方法重燃桑的对生活的热情。艾米基勒是纽约市糕点主要供给商之一，为了揽到生意不择手段，把他的敌手一家逼上了尽路……911事件后，美国进进了后911时代，所以这是第一部直接反映911事件后，纽约人生活百态的笑剧，以及他们对于那段记忆的态度。留意，它决不是对劫后余生的悲剧反思。影片讲述了各成一体的五个互不相乾的故事，表现了故事中的人物经历了911事件后的心路历程。幽默的手段挥往了这个主题下的阴冷和沉重，体现了编者与众不同的聪明。
