THE SURFER ★★
(MA15+) 101 minutes
I imagine tales of Maroubra’s Bra Boys may have helped inspire the tribe of Australian surfers giving Nicolas Cage a hard time in this film by Irish filmmakers Lorcan Finnegan and Thomas Martin, but in this case, fiction is much stranger than truth.
These boys have colonised their beach so completely that Cage’s character can’t get so much as a toe in the water.

He’s a divorced businessman who has been in the US for years, but now he’s back in Australia harbouring an urgent desire to buy a house overlooking the break he surfed as a kid.
He has brought his son with him so they can see the house and have an introductory dip. However, the exaggerated earnestness that makes Cage such an impersonators’ delight has already kicked in, and he’s wallowing so deeply in nostalgia that he hasn’t realised his boy doesn’t share his euphoria. Having spotted the dirty looks locals are casting in their direction, he’d rather be at school.
It came as no surprise to learn that Finnegan and Martin are fans of the Ozploitation films of the 1970s. Those were the days when certain Brits and Americans cherished the myth of Australia as a place where sharks leapt out of the surf at sunbathing tourists and kangaroos hopped along city streets, challenging shoppers to boxing matches. And the human inhabitants were just as savage – hence the success of Canadian director Ted Kotcheff’s adaptation of the Kenneth Cook novel Wake in Fright, the story of a gormless English schoolteacher barely surviving his first weekend in an Outback town.
You know from the start that Cage is going to fare just as badly.他的狗般的神经学保证了这一点。但是自然，他并不是那样。 If he did, he’d go home to reconsider his real estate purchase and there would be no film.
nicolas cage和nicolas cage and Julian McMahon。他在我们的眼前崩溃了，被蛇嘲笑，被当地人虐待。在男孩们开始吐口水之前，他不知所措，但通常留在停车场中。
