26 岁的杰克·保罗是拳击界的新救世主,还是营销技巧比他的拳头更有冲击力的“妄想症”推广人?这取决于你在《UNTOLD: Jake Paul the Problem Child》中问的是谁。本片大胆地深入探讨了一个来自俄亥俄州的天真孩子如何从网络红人变成体育界最具两极化的人。每有一个高调的批评者(UFC 主席白大拿),就会有另一个支持者(前职业拳击手迈克·泰森)站在他身边。2013 年,杰克和他的哥哥洛根在社交媒体上发布了恶作剧和滑稽动作,先是在 Vine 上发布,然后在 YouTube 上发布,获得了数百万的观看次数。兄弟俩将他们在网络上的成功转化为有利可图的副业,杰克发行了音乐,并在迪士尼频道的节目《音乐玩家》中获得了一个角色。随着他们的名声越来越大,这对曾经亲密无间的兄弟之间的关系也越来越紧张。当杰克在现实生活中的争议几乎毁了他的职业生涯时,他获得了作为拳击手的第二次机会。他击倒了一个又一个对手,震惊了怀疑论者。本片收录了对保罗兄弟以及他们的父母、粉丝、拳击手同伴和持怀疑态度的老守卫的扣人心弦的采访,以一场紧张无比的比赛告终 — 这场比赛将证明杰克是否有能力统治他的新王国。
Foodborne pathogens kill around 3,000 people in the U.S. every year and hospitalize hundreds of thousands more. Romaine lettuce, cantaloupe, sprouts . . . all have been at the center of outbreaks which have become alarmingly frequent in recent years. Their solutions are simple, but protections are scattershot, with little bureaucratic will to enforce them. And yet, our politicians keep saying that “the U.S. food supply is the safest in the world. Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food is a documentary that holds the public and private influences behind these decisions to account, beginning with the Jack In the Box E. Coli outbreak of 1992-1993 and continuing to the present day. Director Stephanie Soechtig provides tips on what to avoid at the supermarket, demystifies the tangle of regulations that govern what we eat, and tells the stories of families who have lost loved ones to foodborne illness. This is a film that will make you think about what’s on your plate and how it got there in eye-opening new ways.
