Page 1 In a fancy restaurant, Steve meets a corporate executive who is impressed with his sales abilities. Steve explains his achievement by the fact that he was grown up in a farming community. He believes that the only way out for these farming people is to sell their land to the nature gas company.
Page 4 Introduce the simple farming life.
Page 7 Steve meets his partner Sue, who chooses a stick car that Steve doesn't know how to drive. They go to a local store to buy outfit so that they can pass as a local. They meet a very smooth shop owner who likes Sue.
Page 10 As they are driving, Steve and Sue are surprised at the mini ponies. Steve and Sue go to different houses with great human skills. They are welcomed by the local people because they want to have life-changing money and best education for their kids. (OPPORTUNITY: THE JOB HAS BEGUN.)
Page 14 Back at the hotel, Steve got the promotion as the VP of the land management and Sue talks to her son online.
Page 16 Steve meets the senior supervisor who threatens to object the plan if he is not paid. But Steve is able to convince him to take very little money to coorperate with him.
Page 20 In the bar, Steve meets a very nice girl Alice, who convinces him to do "absolute madness" . Steve embraces the opportunity to connect with the local people.
Page 24 The next morning, Steve wakes up in Alice's house, hanged over as Sue is on the phone talking to his son again.Then they attend the city hall meeting where the senior supervisor's effort of convincing everyone onboard is resisted by Frank, who tells everybody the limitation of the fracking process. (CHANGE OF PLAN: MEETING RESISTANCE)
Page 29 Steve comes to the podium and tries to convince the teacher that fracking process is an almost perfect process. And he is stunned to see that the teacher proposes to vote and has brought a lot of people to stand up against such a decision. And the leader is very unhappy that Steve has downplayed the potential worth of the place.
Page 34 Sue is very unhappy about Steve’s performance. So is the boss on Skype. He wants to pull them out before Steve promises him that he can change the mind of the whole town.
Page 36 The next day, Steve goes to the local café and the waitress tells him not to worry about the teacher. But he also meets a suspicious environmental presence, who goes to talk to the teacher and provides him with evidence of previous screw-ups.
Page 40 Steve tries to talk to the environmental guy, unsuccessfully. And Sue is being invited by the storeowner to sing in public to win public support.
Page 42 In the bar, Sue’s karaoke is a disaster while Alice gives Steve her phone number. Dustin comes up to the microphone and tells everybody not to say yes to the proposal. He turns out to be a much better salesman than sue because he sings very well even if he pretends that he doesn’t sing.
Page 48 Steve and Sue wait for Dustin outside of his motel. Steve fights with him while Sue hands him a bag of cash, which he accepts. But the next morning, Dustin is still working against Global, which pisses Steve off. Dustin is more confident than Steve. (POINT OF NO RETURN)
Page 54 The next morning, Dustin goes to Alice’s school to teach the kids about the damage that fracking can do to the farm. Meanwhile, Steve is already feeling hesitant about selling the idea to the excited people who think that they are going to get rich. (RISE OF THE ANTAGONIST)
Page 60 The waitress is no longer friendly but Destine is connecting well with the locals. And a local who has lost his brother in Iraq is not happy that Steve is lecturing him on American’s dependency on foreign oil and Global is exploiting the poor.
Page 63 So Steve decides to hold a town fair to connect with the locals. Then Steve goes to Alice’s place and she tells Steve how she inherited the big farm from her family of generations. Steve is even more reluctant to do the sells pitch.
Page 67 When a bunch of angry locals want to pick a fight with Steve in the bar, Steve lectures them on the prospect of having “fuck you” money.
Page 71 As Steve works building the town fair, more people sign contracts. Global also sponsor kids’ baseball. (Slow montage)
Page 76 Steve is destroyed with he sees Alice going with Dustin on a date. He is even more destroyed when he sees a poor people buy a race car because he thought he is going to get rich. The next day, the town fair goes to hell because of the pouring rain. (EVERYTHING IS LOST)
Page 79 The teacher invites Steve and Sue to his house for snacks. During the talks, Steve talks about how his Iowa town was wiped out and the teacher worries the consequence of selling their land even though he needs the money too.
Page 84 Steve receives a package in which contains evidence proving that the environmental guy was a liar. He even goes to Alice showing her the evidence to prove that he is not a bad guy. (FINAL PUSH)
Page 87 WhenSteve confronts the environmental guy, he finds out that he has always been working for Global and making sure that people will go for it.
Page 92 Steve can finally see things clear when he meets a girl selling lemonade, who moves him with her integrity. As he is trying to convince everybody to vote for Global, Steve finally tells everybody the truth. Although Steve is fired, he feels freedom and relieved.

男主角這個(gè)倒戈有點(diǎn)突兀啊。。到底是因?yàn)楸幻米庸匆€是發(fā)現(xiàn)被公司捅了一刀?。。
略顯平淡
編劇不賴(lài),走上商業(yè)路線是陰錯(cuò)陽(yáng)差,馬特·達(dá)蒙本來(lái)就是個(gè)才子
1.賈森·瑞特曼+索德伯格。2.最后的反轉(zhuǎn)不難猜到,全片就是一個(gè)hoax。3.沒(méi)有范·桑特的范兒了,調(diào)子很中庸,能源話題可以看到些許隱喻,結(jié)尾很正義很主流。4.各演員均無(wú)突破,卡拉辛斯基還是一副Jim面孔。
好溫情的電影,當(dāng)經(jīng)濟(jì)利益與環(huán)境產(chǎn)生矛盾,該如何抉擇?馬特達(dá)蒙自編自演,少了年輕時(shí)的鋒芒,多了一些成熟與篤定。
很主旋律的電影,大公司資源開(kāi)發(fā)和原住民環(huán)境破壞之間的沖突,最后的小twist太可以被預(yù)料了,好希望能享受到一個(gè)電影中小小的一個(gè)驚喜啊,可惜了。好喜歡馬特達(dá)蒙。
平淡溫吞得該有的東西都模糊掉,看得很累很無(wú)味
賣(mài)了土地?fù)Q取更好的生活,不好嗎?
雖然編劇和表演上都有不盡人意的地方,但我還是覺(jué)得小馬的作品,比小本拿獎(jiǎng)的那個(gè)好。很舒服的電影。
很遺憾結(jié)局讓整片的主題從“融入”降低到“陰謀”。本身施害方與受害方的主次調(diào)換是很有趣的點(diǎn),卻白白讓刻意為之的反轉(zhuǎn)打破了一切。
在利益面前,人們會(huì)怎么抉擇?要環(huán)境還是要cash? 讓人們各自選吧
若無(wú)隱患,何須陰謀。無(wú)遠(yuǎn)慮者,必有近憂(yōu)。
好一般。
結(jié)尾不難猜,但是現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)很少去猜測(cè)結(jié)尾了,為什么有些人不愿意享受twist出現(xiàn)的那一瞬間時(shí)的心情呢?
結(jié)尾逆轉(zhuǎn)還挺有意思
這個(gè)節(jié)奏,簡(jiǎn)直是Gerry一樣的噩夢(mèng)
不太喜歡結(jié)尾溫情,有點(diǎn)把格調(diào)做小了。這個(gè)故事大部分時(shí)間很曖昧,在態(tài)度上也是模糊不清的,不過(guò)反轉(zhuǎn)很不錯(cuò),更明確了主題。馬特·達(dá)蒙與約翰·卡拉辛斯基都是我很喜歡的演員,總有說(shuō)不出的好感。片中達(dá)蒙和羅斯瑪麗都在這兩年跟艾米莉·布朗特合作過(guò),然后約翰·卡拉辛斯基又是她老公,幕后推手么?三
很好!
兩顆星給風(fēng)光,呵呵。
確實(shí),主流到庸俗。
