What happens

《最後的詩句》(英語:The Last Verse)是一部臺灣電視電影,為公視推出的首部「新創電影」,由曾英庭執導、傅孟柏與温貞菱領銜主演。本片於2017年3月4日在光點華山電影館首映,3月17日在LINE TV线上首播,3月18日在公視主頻首播。 本片以灰色寫實的手法呈現「青年貧窮」的主題,描述一對相戀十六年的男女,歷經三次執政更迭,身處充滿艱困與挑戰的社會經濟環境,消磨了他們的青春與美好的愛情,並隨著成長與夢想的幻滅,最終為生命之詩畫下句點的故事。 由於本片劇情緊扣社會,拍攝手法多利用空間、影像與美術等來刻劃小人物,加上傅孟柏與温貞菱詮釋角色到位,因此在播映後獲得好評,最終拿下第52屆金鐘獎4座獎項(8項提名)的肯定,與《告別》並列迷你劇集/電視電影類最多入圍兼得獎者,亦獲釜山國際電影節入選「新浪潮」單元競賽,並受斯德哥爾摩電影節、多倫多亞洲國際電影節與聖地牙哥亞洲電影節等國際影展之邀參展。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
