或許很多觀眾朋友,包括喜歡骨感妹妹如筆者,曾被 Vera Farmiga 在神鬼無間的過瘦臉蛋嚇到,驚呼 馬丁 打哪找來的三比八?但自非法入侵展現 獨特魅力 後,Vera Farmiga 正式以本片奠定截圖永遠截不完的崇高地位,一顰一笑美不勝收,請聽我說:「Vera Farmiga 等於蘇菲瑪索裝在珍妮佛蘿海威骨架。」再加上男主角乃曾被筆者譽為痞子版艾德華諾頓的 Sam Rockwell,天魔約書亞理所當然地從架上被租回家。
事情是這樣的,如果家裡老二長這副操老樣,長大極可能變成戀童癖,吃飯時又愛哭爸家裡有死人,彈一閃一閃小星星故意來首陰森小變奏,你還會想做個公正無私絕無偏頗的父母嗎?
原本期待天魔現代版,然而本片主題更貼近 寂靜殺機:一個孤獨的人如何排解孤獨。三十七歲導演 George Ratliff 驚人劇情長片處女作,節奏掌握不溫不火,就像約書亞悄悄瓦解美滿家庭。魔鬼約書亞,絕對不只帥哥正昧死小孩電影,筆者給予四顆星評價。當代佳作。
In Egypt when they embalmed people like Pharaohs, they broke the nose and removed the brain through the opening. They drained the body of all its fluid on a special stone slab. This quarantees him a glorious afterlife.
對了!約書亞還有個習慣,就是拿昂貴熊貓玩偶當法老王製作木乃伊。
You know... siblings are very important in strange times... speaking from experience.
Like you and mom?
Yeah.
Ned? I'm glad you're here. I mean... you, me... this feels right, doesn't it? The way it always should have been. We should compose something together.
有人說 Ned 是同性戀或亂倫老爸,個人不傾向揣測,約書亞只是單純覺得這個叔叔比較有聊。
