A great script, some stunning photography, an excellent score that helps tie it all together, and a great ensemble cast make this small film seem quite large. The emotions that bubble under the surface, only sometimes breaking through, give this film its strength and its power. Different stories of different people all struggling with day to day life sharing the common experience of being New Yorkers post 9/11. The references to what happened are almost all unspoken, evoked through the images displayed or the background sounds, yet there is no doubt that what happened is a force in the lives of all of these people. Intelligent film-making at its best. 影片講述的五個故事就發生在紐約人日常的生活中。特拉布勒斯是一名心理醫生，他的病人桑的在經曆911事件後，對周圍的人、事感到憤怒和失望。特拉布勒斯運用自己獨特的方法重燃桑的對生活的熱情。艾米基勒是紐約市糕點主要供應商之一，為了攬到生意不擇手段，把他的敵手一家逼上了絕路……911事件後，美國進入了後911時代，所以這是第一部直接反映911事件後，紐約人生活百態的喜劇，以及他們對於那段記憶的態度。注意，它決不是對劫後餘生的悲劇反思。影片講述了各成一體的五個互不相乾的故事，表現了故事中的人物經曆了911事件後的心路曆程。幽默的手段揮去了這個主題下的陰冷和沉重，體現了編者不同凡響的智慧。詳情
