Summary: Great ensemble piece
I just got back from a holiday in Toronto where I had the pleasure of attending the film festival there. One of the films I ended up seeing was Haven, which I knew very little about beforehand. What an absolute gem of a movie it turned out to be. Similar in structure to Amores Perros, the tale unfolds from different perspectives. All actors played their parts well but there were three who deserve special mention. Victor Razuk as Fritz and Zoe Saldana as Andrea are definite names to watch in future. However, Orlando Bloom was the real genuine surprise here. I don't think I have seen a more heartbreaking performance all year. The disintegration of his character - Shy - provides much of the emotional centre of Frank E. Flowers gripping first feature length movie. He is a director who is going to be talked about a great deal in the years to come. All in all , I would have no hesitation in recommending this powerful, though somewhat dark movie, to any discerning film-goer.
我刚从多伦多电影节回来。在那里看的其中一部电影是Haven，这部电影我在之前几乎没什么了解。这真是一部出色的电影。结构上有些像Amores Perros，从不同的方面解开故事。所有的演员都演的不错，不过有三个人值得特别提出。扮演Fritz的Victor Razuk和半夜Andrea的Zoe Saldana肯定会是未来值得注意的人物。不过Orlando Bloom才是这里真正的惊喜。我认为这一年来都没有看到过如此令人心碎的表演。他的角色Shy的disintegration（不能确定这个词在这里什么意思）是Frank E. Flowers这部引人注目的长片处女作的情感中心。他（指Flowers）将会是日后几年中被频繁提到的导演。总之，我会向任何有品味的电影爱好者推荐这部有力却有些黑暗的影片。

Summary: -- Gratuitous Multilinearity --
A very different movie than any other...the closest thing you can compare it to is Tarentino's "Pulp Fiction" but only because of it's multi-linear story.
The cinematography rocked. The acting was superb. The sound went unnoticed, so good work guys! But...
Usually in a movie like this, the multi-linear loose ends will cleverly tie together in the end showing why these particular characters were being followed. But it never did this. Bill Paxton and Orlando Blooms timelines ran almost totally autonomous from one another; crossing paths but never changing the outcome of the other. It was merely a gimmick. The first rule of film making...everything has to have a GOOD reason.
非常与众不同的一部电影...你能与之比较的最接近的是Tarentino的《低俗小说》，不过这也不过是因为他们都采用了多线结构。
The cinematography rocked.表演极好。配乐不引人注意。很好的作品，不过...
通常在这类作品中，多条故事线会在结尾收束在一起，表明这些角色为什么会在一起。不过这部里没这么做。Bill Paxton 和 Orlando Bloom的时间线几乎完全各自独立。偶有交集但从未改变过对方的结果。这只是一个机关。电影制作中的第一准则是：每样事物都有一个好的原因。

Summary: "Traffic" with a touch of Quentin Tarantino
I saw the second screening of this film, at the Toronto Film Festival. It reminded me a little bit like the film "Traffic" with a hint of Quentin Tarantino. The movie threads together multiple story lines and shifts back and forth through time.
Bill Paxton has a great performance as a shady business man who escapes with this daughter to the Cayman Islands.
Orlando Bloom's character is the most endearing. I found I could relate to his character the most. Shy (Bloom) was the classic boy from the wrong side of the tracks, who is completely in love with the rich girl, Andrea (Zoe Saldana).
Zoe Saldana has a great performance as well. Her character goes from a sweet girl who makes a complete 180 turn to a druggie /(how to put this politically correct) very easy girl.
Overall I really enjoyed the movie. Frank E. Flowers did a really great job with his debut. The story was really intriguing and the setting was beautiful. A really well done film.
我在多伦多电影节上看了这部电影的第二次放映。它的Quentin Tarantino让我有点想起Traffic。这部电影包含了几条故事线，并一直在之间来回切换。
Bill Paxton出色的演出了带着女儿逃到Cayman群岛的阴暗的商人。
Orlando Bloom的角色是最令人钟爱的。我发现我最能体会到他的角色。Shy（Bloom）是那种典型的爱上富家女孩Andrea（Zoe Saldana）的贫民男孩。
Zoe Saldana也有了不起的表演。她的角色从一个甜美的女孩来了个180度的大转变，成为一个放荡的吸毒者。
总之我真的喜欢这部电影。Frank E. Flowers在他的处女作中表现的很棒。故事很迷人，布景也很漂亮。非常出色的电影。

Summary: Flowers' Film Blooms
I also saw the world premiere of Haven on Saturday at the Toronto film fest and all I can say is that I was completely blown away by it. I don't know what I was expecting when I went into the theatre but what I got was something that kept my interest peaked through out the entire two hours and had me filled with questions until the very end.
Every actor involved in Haven was perfectly chosen and held their own with spectacular performances. Personally, I think that Bill Paxton is at the top of his game right now and Orlando Bloom is just to die for as Shy, a young fisherman on the Island. Zoe Saldana had me in tears with her performance and I can't wait to see it again when it finally comes to theaters. I think it's fair to say that Haven will put Frank E. Flowers on the map and he has earned it with this movie. Unbelievable. I loved it.
我也在多伦多电影节上看了Haven的世界首映。我所能说的是我完全被这部电影吸引了。在走进影院之前我并不知道我该期待些什么，但是在影院里的两小时我所得到的使我始终保持着高昂的兴趣，并且直到结尾还充满了疑问。
Haven里的每个演员都选的很完美，他们惊人的表现说明了这一点。个人认为，Bill Paxton是他迄今最好的表现，而扮演Shy，岛上的年轻渔夫的Orlando Bloom可以为之去死。Zoe Saldana的表演让我热泪盈眶。我等不及想在影片上映以后再去看一遍了。我认为很清楚Haven将使Frank E. Flowers成为重要人物，这是他凭这部电影赢得的。不可思议。我喜欢。

Summary: Pulp Fiction goes to the islands
I saw this film at the world premiere last night at the Toronto Film Festival. It was a crime drama told in the non-linear style made famous by Tarantino. What really made this movie stand out from like-themed movies, was it's setting in the Cayman Islands. The culture of the Caymans is evident in every shot, every frame, and it give an entirely fresh perspective on subjects we've visited before.
Frank E. Flowers does a fantastic job of keeping the story coherent as we alternate between two timelines, set four months apart. The acting is strong and the entire film has a distinctive atmosphere.
The crowd seemed to love it, but then again, the entire cast was present and the audience was quite excited (especially by Orlando Bloom). Still, a very good movie. It seemed like it may have been a little long, perhaps ten minutes or so, but that really came from trying to establish the Caymanian culture, so it's understandable.
昨天晚上我在多伦多电影节上看了这部电影的世界首映。这是一部犯罪剧情片，采用了因Tarantino而知名的非线性结构。使这部影片与同类型影片不同的是，它发生在Cayman群岛。Cayman的文化在每个镜头，每一帧中都很明显，这给了我们以前见过的主题以完全新鲜的视角。
在我们在两个相距四个月的时间线之间来回转换的时候，Frank E. Flower非常出色的保证了整个故事的统一。表演很强，整部电影有一种与众不同的气氛。
人们看起来很喜欢它。不过，当演员出场时观众显得很激动（特别是对Orlando Bloom）。仍然是一部很好的电影。看起来稍微有些长，大概长了10分钟左右。不过因为是为了建立Cayman文化的需要，也是可以理解的。
