Both original and incredibly romantic, Redwoods tells the story of an already-partnered man whose love is tested when a mysterious drifter passes through his small Northern California town.
Everett (Brendan Bradley) and Miles (Tad Coughenour) are in a comfortably platonic relationship, which is held together by raising their son. While his family travels out of town, introverted Everett finally has time to himself—that is until Chase (Matthew Montgomery), a strikingly handsome writer, pulls up in front of his house.
Shot amidst ancient redwoods, David Lewis’ (Rock Haven) film is a stunning ode to the power of love.
片子的效果很好,清晰度很好。整部片子也挺优美的。我其实最喜欢一些“小动作”。例如,一个人打电话的时候触摸一个人的肩膀。另外ML的场景也很好的。虽然主演未必比每个BELAMI的明星帅,但是由于表现出了人物的感情也让人很向往的。
从情节设计而言,有点像廊桥遗梦的结构。这种故事都面临一个两难:私奔之后激情散去或许留下的只是负罪和新的厌倦;留在旧的生活当中总是期盼着别的生活是怎样的。总体而言我觉得是不错是片子。如果要说缺点的话,我觉得节奏慢了一点。例如我看过的这个chase这个人拍摄的另一部大概是发生在加拿大的gone but not forgotten在节奏、情节上都要比这一部片子高出很多。另外,我猜测这部片子的制作成本不是很高。背景音乐的设置显得比较简陋了一点。尤其是那位母亲主动跑去找chase的时候。
为什么非得悲剧结尾呢?
