The film was released without much fanfare and publicity and has received little .."〕 The film concerns the small-town life of an artist (Quinlan) and her challenge to become "what she's ''almost'' sure she could be." "Her desperation takes the form of affectations and pretensions that are a little like those of the young Katharine Hepburn in ''Alice Adams'' and the young Margaret Sullavan in ''The Shop Around the Corner'', but the Quinlan character "has the talent driving her on past all that."〔Kael, Pauline. ''State of the Art'', pp.281–282. ISBN 0-7145-2869-2〕 Wiest plays a battered wife. The film was reviewed favorably by the critic Pauline Kael in her collection ''State of the Art'': "Kathleen Quinlan plays the part of the woman artist with a cool, wire-taut intensity, Robert Mandel keeps the whole cast interacting quietly and satisfyingly, Wiest has hold of an original character and plays her to the scary hilt."〔Kael, Pauline. ''State of the Art''〕 ==Plot== In a small Texas town where she works as a waitress in her family's diner, Mary Ann Taylor's true love is photography. She would like to get beyond these limits, but when Jack Parker returns to town, he lets her know that he's been to the big city and happiness there is as elusive as anyplace else. Mary Ann and Jack fall in love. Their bliss is interrupted, however, by the discovery that Jack's meek sister is being physically abused by her husband. Jack tries to intervene, but in the end, Nancy decides she needs to take drastic action herself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Independence Day (1983 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
