保罗·托马斯·安德森这部宏大的杰作颇具感染力，其根本是哀伤的，它探讨的是，人到底是不是动物。饱受磨难的酒鬼弗莱迪·奎尔从二次大战退伍回家后，无法适应战后美国社会的变化。

Eventually he finds some sort of deliverance in the company and teachings of the leader of an urban cult, Lancaster Dodd. Much has been made of the analogies between Scientology and Dodd's cause, but the real point of the film is an exploration of thought and consciousness, and whether submission to belief systems can genuinely tame atavism.

在宗教狂热分子兰卡斯特·多德的陪伴和教导下，他找到了某种解脱。很多人拿多德的宗教跟科学神教作类比，但本片真正的目的在于，探索思想和意识，以及信奉某种信仰体系能否真正克服返祖现象。

记忆碎片

Memento

导演：克里斯托弗·诺兰(Christopher Nolan)

Christopher Nolan's Memento, an airtight puzzle of a movie about a man who can't form new memories searching for his wife's killer, set a standard for narrative sophistication that few mainstream films have tried to duplicate. The film forces us to consider the unreliability of human memory and our tendency toward self-deception, even as it thrills us with a captivating crime-noir story. An existential tragedy masquerading as a twisty bit of pulp fiction? Unforgettable.
