      us, nothing special

      The third SIFF... The real sense of the semi-documentary + science and education film world probably lies in the unreality of most things...

      It's not based on a true story, it is a true story

      The theft in the plan is completely different from the reality. The stupid cry in the second half completely breaks the fantasy of Daniel Wu, Moriarty, and the thief Kidd. The deepest feeling is probably that our education is letting us discover Your own special, you always think that...

      Really American Animals

      Thirty minutes before the end of the movie I just thought it was the worst movie I've ever seen. Four boys who think with their lower bodies at the end of puberty are busy, they are really american animals. Until the end spence said that everyone is ordinary.

      One of the themes is crime and criminals. It is society's unforgiveness of criminals. The three made it clear that they didn't want to hurt the librarian, so they had to warren. Warren used neutralize lamely when planning,...

      It's been a long time since a movie made me laugh silly

      In the United States in 2004, just one week before Christmas, a local university called Transylvania in Lexington, Kentucky, was full of campus police, police officers and plainclothes detectives. On December 17, many rare books were stolen from the university's library collection room. At that time, the value of these books was as high as 450,000 US dollars and as low as more than 10,000 US dollars. Adding up the total value of the stolen books, it was more than $5 million....

      Ordinary youth restlessness

      As a person who has not completely gotten rid of the secondary thinking left over from adolescence, watching this film has a lot of feelings. I don't want to stand on the sidelines and judge how immature or even stupid the robbery planned by these four young people, because their psychology is understandable in my opinion, they are just not comfortable with the arranged life, do not want The bullshit who "can only get what you are busy with, others think you deserve it, and getting it means...

      I wanted to say something to some of the people in the comments

      The film is a good film, the shooting angle is very novel, and it is also very creative in the form of half-live recording.

      However, some netizens commented too negatively. Only a small part of the yearning and motivation for life comes from external forces, and most of them have to be realized by themselves, from the correct way, such as books written by thoughtful writers, and their own step-by-step experiences. Strength, bravery, kindness, integrity... These qualities are not...

      Based on real events, the bizarre experience of college students robbing a collection of books reflects the decadence and confusion of contemporary American young people. The story is a little thin, and the semi-documentary format seems a little contrived but adds a sense of...

      Making the story of an idiot so dramatic haha... It's also a little absurd... So the real Spencer is a softboi listening to new order and wilco?...

      I thought it was a wonderful and efficient big robbery or from what angle the significance was extracted, but the "real" can't hold the stupid thief to make a fool of himself. The film also uses a lot of space to pull out the prototypes who are better-looking than the actors, and it is almost a large-scale public...

    Movie plot

    Childhood playmates Spencer and Warren were not interested in the arts and sports studies of their respective majors. They were confused and full of ideas to make them have a plan to make a fortune. The two discovered that the special collection library of the University of Transylvania contained precious Audubon prints and many valuable original books, and they made plans and sought out their friends. The preliminary preparation...

    Evaluation action

    If you watch the film with the mentality of watching "Eleven Arhats", you will definitely be disappointed. But if you regard it as a youth farce, there will be some empathy. The film does not have too many adult intrigues, nor does it set too many suspense and reversals on the plot. On the whole, it is narrated in the tone of adolescents. Compared with other absurd juvenile stories, the novelty of the film is that director Bart Layton...

    • Warren Lipka Senior: Remember, quitters never win and winners never quit.

    • Warren Lipka: Thing is, I worked to get on that team, since I was about five. And I have absolutely no idea why. To be honest, sir, I think this whole place is a disappointment. I think you're a disappointment. And I think this whole goddamn town, is a disappointment.

    • Warren Lipka: Man, I don't want you waking up, ten years from now wondering what could've happened. And who you could've been.
