Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
上帝之手会无情得夺取，夺取所有的青春荷尔蒙让故事里的少年一夜长大，全城沸腾的时刻也再也无法将自己和这个世界相联系。上帝之手也会无私得给予，给予所有离开家乡追梦的电影，那不勒斯的一砖一瓦都无比动容，想一头扎进碧蓝的大海里，连同最甜蜜的痛苦回忆纵身一跃。
亲人，朋友，故乡都随风飘散。于是我们成长，我们出发。
“友情是双向的”，从“你要喜欢我”变为“我喜欢你”，从“呆在两米以内”变为“不要离开我”，让他们成为真正的好朋友，也是友谊使它得以觉醒，成为拥有完美代码的自己。好的友谊是互相成就互相治愈
还是很套路的童话动画，全程冷漠看完，可能小朋友“好歹毒的心肠”。
生活中真挚的友谊却在减少。
看上去像是把大数据算出的当今北美儿童特征和喜好（家长允许的）全部塞进一部动画片里，讨低龄小孩的欢心
看吧，好朋友的珍贵不是让你出位，而是为你出头。
意大利好美，我也曾希望家里来一个酷酷的用darthvadar嗓音说话的人，球王的那场比赛是平局0比0，后来那不勒斯赢了联赛冠军，全班男生每人一件地摊上10块钱的蓝白球衣，我想每个人都会用自己擅长的方式来面对自己，无论是用上帝之手来羞辱英帝国主义，还是拍个电影来讲故事，爱和悲伤，最棒的事儿不过如此。

又吵又闹，最后peace & love，一切问题都迎刃而解。还不如The Mitchells vs. The Machines，这种题材真实倦了，Olivia Colman还两部都演了。全世界都是7年级学生吗，最后还不是依然每个人都沉迷在机器里。那个掉钱眼里的老头大概是库克（和其他科技大佬的缝合怪）？
我们手机里的好友列表在增多，
如今发达的网络科技带来的已不仅仅是世界互通的便捷，有时是对流行度的偏执，有时是让寂寞孤独的人更加的寂寞孤独。
工业体系、技术思辨、普世价值与人文关怀的有机统一，不佩服不行。
火车又一次代表了迷茫，至于答案，已经在片尾黑幕中的那不勒斯吹来的海风里飘荡。
讽刺意味和套路都很明显了，今年又是没有被打动的一年。
与此同时，电影中我们一次次回到如同苹果发布会现场的场景，了解到生产机器人的公司内部的分歧。可惜营销总监角色脸谱化严重，蠢到不太可信。最后Ron为了将自己的代码同步给所有机器人而献出自我的桥段也显得过火了点——之前的代码轻松可以复制扩散，怎么现在不可以了？
对不起作为从业者我可能真的无法观看这类影片，设定上不符合常理的地方真的太出戏了。而且明明就是很老套的故事
如果结局停留在Ron的回归的话，这部电影，不考虑那些细思极恐的细节比如智械危机，还算是一部优秀的合家欢喜剧动画，因为在那时，小男孩和他的小机器伙伴都经历了非常棒的成长事件。
哭了哭了 两人一起逃跑进森林 太快乐了 也太悲伤了 用贴纸和输入信息联结成的code 感觉像是alive 当你心情不好的时候 我就会回到六英尺范围之外 来自代码的可爱和悲伤 程序的单纯对位情绪的复杂
朋友是什么？总之不是依靠科技的虚假繁荣以及空虚感。
