Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
不知道为什么这部评价这么高……而我小时候竟然没看过……不过总的来说还是挺有乐趣的，尤其是后半部分哈~
虽然最后风间拿到了炒面面包，但精华的炒面夹心还是被小新吃掉了。啊这个隐喻绝了。不要追求成为精英，人生无意义的那部分或许才最重要。
在小新和风间跑步的过程中哭成傻逼了哈哈哈哈，这就是学生想要按照期待成为精英和做自己好好生活之间的冲突吧！戳中了体制教育、阶级制度的痛处，“无用论”大胜利！脑洞+反叛+推理，小新大电影的无厘头，是我们不敢尝试的跳跃。
不重复别人，不重复自己。多高多多朴实的追求。音乐和造型很赞～
从美术、分镜到故事立意本身对于国产动画都有着举足轻重的影响，除了全片故事的衔接给我感觉稍微差了点，不过依然能真切地感受到那一代中国动画人的艺术造诣与蓬勃的创造力。此外，无论是看守天书的“袁公”、一腔热血的“蛋生”还是“狐狸精”反派们，都被刻画得栩栩如生；虽是动画角色，却不难让观众产生共鸣。这次4K纪念版片尾附加的10余分钟纪录短片(主要是导演钱运达老先生的采访以及对当年创作的回顾)更是让人对当年上美影厂的老师们的敬佩又多了几分，同时，又倍感遗憾，只因现在这种极具中国本土特色风格的动画长片已近乎绝迹...不知何时才能再有机会在大荧幕看到新的此类风格的国产动画。
荒诞戏谑滑稽可爱，想象力爆炸，笔墨画面流畅，东方韵味十足，细想还挺有深意，不错不错
肯德基好识货啊！手办到这一款~~好惊喜！！我爱吃鸡！
袁公的良苦用心被狐狸们偷袭，变成人形下山骗人。天赋异禀的蛋生得到袁公的青睐，精心培育，用心传授。108个法式是超越孙悟空72变的存在，造福人类，引导人性却是不变的责任。蛋生大战妖精的时候，老百姓是收益的；各级老爷们想得却是聚宝盆和美女，与民不聊生形成鲜明的对比。蛋生的存在是打破僵局，开创新的生机和局面；但不得不被天庭惩罚的袁公，在天之灵也一定痛心疾首。看似很简单的剧情，包罗万象，深邃客观，深表赞同，强烈推荐。
蛋生的师傅是个具有革命性的英雄，他无视天国的规矩，将幸福之火播撒到了人间，他忍辱负重，为了人类的幸福牺牲了自己，师傅，你太伟大了。
刚看的。天书中性论，既能用作好事也能用作坏事，袁公秉承现代普罗米修斯观，认为还是要传给人类，但这也可能是玛丽·雪莱的弗兰肯斯坦式结局，蛋生过于天真的禀赋使他无法独自克服三位狐狸精的诡计和暴力，而袁公在被抓上天庭后，将不再存在机械降神，也就是说，蛋生将面临存在主义之后的荒诞处境，等待戈多不再归来，而他心头词典里的天书将如何传给后人却不遭恶用，这将是永远无法解决的难题。当然，如果我小时候看的话就不会说这堆东西了~
师父宁犯天规也要培养一个天书传人，呃.....
当年邻居家拿电影画报糊墙，靠近房顶的地方就是《天书奇谭》的剧照，本人觊觎已久，某天趁邻居不注意搬桌子上椅子把画报给撕下来带走了。后来在央视六套看完全片，悲剧动画，泪流满面，当时认为这片是葫芦娃的续集来着。

我们还能有这样吸引下一代的前瞻性的好作品吗
六星
哇，小时候就是这个风格的动画伴我很久~fancy那时候的动画和电视剧~现在的小孩太可怜太可怜……
啥时演，啥时必看的动画片，咱们啥时还有如此经典的国产动画片可以无限回味~~~
不抛弃不放弃的友情推理社 禁止打分定义人生 捣蛋成长快乐最大 屁屁内容较多有够羞耻 配音版不会让人失望
当年看的时候一直有心理阴影，感觉婆婆好可怕。。。
《天书奇谭》作为动画电影的绘画功底即便在今日看来依旧充满着中国特有的美学魅力，独具匠心的画风呼之欲出的是那中国文化深厚的底蕴，而于此中那天马星空的奇想，行云流水般简单却有赋有深厚寓意的神话架构，使电影由内而外皆堪为完美。
