剧情简介
J.T.马林经纪公司的核心办公室被员工们称之为“锅炉房”。可不要小看这个地方——在这里一夜能诞生20个百万富翁！正是在这间“锅炉房”里，斗志激昂的年轻的经纪人们通过电话为深深信赖他们的买主兜售股票，帮他们炒股。而他们所得到的报酬是豪华公寓、法拉利和更多连他们自己都想象不到的奢华礼物。在长岛这片平凡无奇的土地上，在无数经纪公司的“锅炉房”中，X一代正以惊人的速度实现着他们的梦想，只是有的时候他们离法律仅仅一步之遥……。这是一个惊心动魄、扣人心弦、充满艳情的小说家故事。叙述一个十分潦倒，寂寂无名的小说家渣华士在美国洛杉矶所发生而隐藏著的神秘和趣怪事件。在他的写作事业背后，一段与邻居少女燃烧得炽热的爱情事迹，鼓舞著他的写作意念，把一段段充满著恋爱而令人毛骨悚然的往事，活生生的展现出来。可惜，他无法满足爱人的要求，使她的少女情怀变成令他一生不能磨灭的烙印……。Disarmingly realistic in its depiction of the realities of frontier life, Heartland is a strong antidote to the cliches of traditional Westerns. This semi-documentary slice of life is based on the diaries of Elmore Randall Stewart about her days on the Wyoming frontier in the early 20th century. It's a strongly feminist statement about a woman raising her small daughter alone and scrapping for a living by working for a shy Scottish rancher. Director Richard Pearce brings an endearing touch to a film that is helped greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Fred Murphy. Conchata Ferrell and Rip Torn star in this small film that substitutes veracity for a high-powered plot. Pearce worked as a cinematographer on Woodstock and other documentaries before making his directorial debut. Winner of the 1980 Berlin Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival。
