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?
开篇很棒。作为传记电影，材料编织甚至做到了让观众能理解“生平+编剧叙事”双结构的程度，这一点相当不错。
这种形式的musical还挺想看现场的呢 加菲唱功一般般容易出戏 音乐剧改编电影总归有点尴尬 老实说感觉音乐也一般 只是因为是和本人经历有联系所以觉得歌的内容不错
喜欢轻盈交错的剪辑，和加菲真诚得看起来不太聪明的笑容，喜欢夜晚在大广场上弹琴回忆小时候那段，但这些都被广场那迎合庸俗煽情的细雨浇灭了一部分。看完想去看看《Rent》
当然，关于这种有所执着，有所梦想的坚持，如若能代入于观众的语境，那必然是很好的，只可惜主角身边一群艾滋患者，也让我试图代入主角时心有戚戚。
人物故事层次相对简单 音乐还好 视听比较商业类型
林-曼努尔·米兰达确实是有才，这个电影我感触太多了，Jonathan Larson，Respect.
拔萃的歌舞片，即使毫无前置信息，也能在第一曲渐入佳境，直奔简洁鲜明的主题。电影抓住了而立之年梦想如何从清晰到成为破片的过程与精髓。不仅如此，音乐在传递年轻的视点和无处安放的情感之上，在结尾升华为燃烧生命唤醒年轻一代的艺术本质，放在现在依然具有极强的激励和反思价值。
好想看音乐剧Superbia了。我还挺喜欢此片的音乐的，知道朋友得绝症时那段很动人。
林聚聚与乔纳森·拉森，两个音乐剧天才的跨时空灵魂对话。电影没有聚焦在拉森最负盛名的《吉屋出租》上，而是融入他成名前的创作经历，代入创作者的迷茫与困惑。疯狂的剪辑从明亮的幻想世界与单调生活来回切换，形成“戏中戏”的结构，音乐元素构成电影“好听”的基底，好看与好听的同时加菲的演技同样让人信服，唯一的缺点也许是打磨的太过光滑，导致与原本肮脏世界有所出入，更多苦难被埋藏在华丽下。好在电影并不是一味传达天才陨落的悲凉，反而带着的是创作者对创作本身的狂喜，就像时针倒数着，迎来的却是tick，tick，boom！华美的绽放！
电影叙事几乎流水账，几处本可以爆发的点欠力度。AG还是更擅长内敛细腻情绪的把控，遇到外向型角色不够自然，我猜他研习过无数遍Larson的录像，模仿之力溢出屏幕。不过外形气质更贴的演员我也想不出来 叹气
没有必须坚持的梦想或信仰
4.5 Sunday里的致敬太让人激动了…一本充满了强烈情感色彩的传记。
虽然加菲的哭戏演得很好很好，但是从头哭到尾真的让人不适，其他都挺好
像是和哎嘛石头的某种隔空共舞，奈何歌曲实在是不怎么抓我。
游泳都可以在水下看到音符谱曲，这想象力真绝了。
3.5。後半段真正意義上擺脫了音樂劇形式的束縛，開始了真正的影視化改編。但此處的「真正」也僅指分鏡層面，畢竟對彼時政治氛圍和社會環境的描摹極為不足，導致本就不多的現實感「折上加折」。雖然以創作者個體視角切入本身並無問題，只是在現在這個年代用小切口談《吉屋出租》，多少有些浪費題材了。
诙谐向歌舞片，故事拍的一般，吹的人醉翁之意不在酒
音乐剧这拨人艺术感觉太好了。生命短暂，你留下传奇
歌舞片，没什么亮点，创作者就是不停的写写到能被看中为止，然后继续写
初心已死，热血难赴，仅此而已。
