剧情简介:

　　God of Love is an American live action short film. The film s run time is approximately 18 minutes. It was written and directed by Luke Matheny, and produced by Gigi Dement, Ryan Silbert, and Stefanie Walmsley. The film was shot in black and white on the Red One camera by director of photography Bobby Webster. 　　In the film, a lounge singer and championship dart player named Raymond Goodfellow is desperately in love with a fellow band-mate, but she only has love for his best friend. The crooner prays daily to God for a way for his beloved to fall in love with him. One evening, his prayers are answered when he s given a box of magical darts with Cupid-like powers. Raymond decides to use the darts to make his own love connection. 　　Raymand Goodfellow rides on a country road on his motor scooter. His voice over explains “You can’t control who you fall in love with, or who falls in love with you. Love doesn’t make sense.” 　　The film flashes back to three months earlier to Ray’s time as a confident, self-centered lounge singer/dart thrower. Ray’s band consists of his friends Fozzie (guitar), Frank (Bass) and the “love of his life” Kelly (drums). Before he joins the band onstage, Ray prays to God asking him for assistance in getting Kelly to love him. Despite Ray’s ongoing affection to her, she seems drawn to Fozzie who, being a good friend to Ray, is rejecting Kelly’s advances. 　　After Ray’s crowd pleasing performance, he is informed by the bartender that someone has left a package for him. The package contains “love darts.” The instructions for the darts explain that when someone is poked with love dart they are immediately attracted to the first person they see. This attraction lasts for 6 hours. At the end of the 6 hours if the love is meant to last it will, but if it doesn’t it won’t. 　　Ray tells Fozzie about the darts and they both agree to have a test run. While the band walks home from a gig, Ray throws a love dart catching a prissy Jersey Girl named Angela. The first man she sees is Ray’s quiet, low-key bandmate Frank. Just as the instructions promised, Angela falls in love with Frank immediately. Ray and Fozzie follow the new couple around. After exactly six hours, Angela appears to still be in love with Frank and Ray declares the darts “effective.” 　　Ray enlists Fozzie’s help in creating the “most romantic six hours” ensuring that Kelly will remain in love with Ray after the love dart’s initial power ends. Fozzie is able to offer several tips, knowing a surprising amount about Kelly and the things that are important to her. 　　Ray goes to Kelly’s house and strikes her with a dart. As promised by the dart’s instructions, she immediately falls in love with him. They go on their date which goes perfectly. Towards the end of the six hours they kiss. When the six hours end, Kelly looks uncomfortable, thanks him for the evening, and leaves. It is clear that the love from the dart did not last. 　　Ray consoles himself by poking one woman after another until he has a whole flock of women (and one man) who are completely in love with him for six hours. During this time all he can do is talk about getting Kelly to fall in love with him again. He even contemplates convincing her that she has diabetes so she has to poke herself with the love darts over and over again. 　　The love darts wear off and he is alone again, ready to try to the darts on Kelly one more time. Walking home from another gig with his band Ray prepares to throw a second dart at Kelly. Moments before throwing the dart he realizes that his loyal friend Fozzie is really in love with her and that she is really in love with him. Instead of striking Kelly with the dart, he hits Fozzie right as he looks up at Kelly. The two instantly fall in love with each other. A wiser and less self-centered Ray returns to his apartment. He finds another mysterious box outside his apartment with a note that says “nice work.” He opens the box and finds Cupid’s bow and arrow. 　　The film flashes forward to six months in the future at the point the film began. The band continues but without Ray, Angela is the new singer. Frank and Angela and Fozzie and Kelly are still very much in love. Ray is many miles away driving on his motor scooter on the country road his bow and arrow tied to his back. He repeats “you can’t control who you love, or who loves you.” He ends by saying that love doesn’t make sense. He knows all this because “I am the God of the Love.”

《爱神》看点/点评:

导演倒是很轻松惬意的给出了“爱是成全”这样的答案，但是这整部短片没有那么具有惊喜感。不過満有意思的是，所以爱是命中注定的吗？看来就算使用爱神的箭，如果不是注定，也没有办法达到效果？剧本在逻辑上似乎还有点瑕疵

场景很少，但是光影太讲究了，总感觉这是一部有“色彩”的短片。这个单身狗小哥生动地诠释了Eros和Poseidon的区别

挺有意思的一部短片，各种电影节一般只钟意于揭露社会黑暗面的话题较为沉重的电影，这算是一个很好的调剂。爱从来都没什么道理，它不由神控制而又充满无法预料的神性。

尽管本片的内容给人低幼又无意义的印象，但所表达的东西足够简单有趣，爱神随时都会在身边，而爱就是毫无道理。（顺便一提，本片译名“爱神”重名率太高，比如和王家卫的emos一版译名重名；可惜了今天放映会的emos片源出问题，也许真如武帅导演所说是气场不合）

1、本片是由Luke Matheny自编自导自演，是他在纽约大学艺术硕士就读时的毕业年作品。2、你无法控制你会爱上谁，也无法控制谁会爱上你，但爱神可以。

83.感觉很不错，很流畅并且全程让人一直想看下去。他把飞镖扎向朋友那里很亮点，我觉得这之前在铺垫一层朋友和女孩间的情感会更好。我很傻的没太注意到鼓手对女孩的情感，比如知道她喜欢吃什么，看什么剧。也没注意到把房子布置成了海洋风格的。。这敏锐程度太低了。最后对爱和爱神的定义我不太喜欢。

他收到那个爱之镖是建置；他扎了凯丽但六小时过后凯丽恢复是第一小情节；他为获得开心做的事，与老朋友的电话视频，决心还是永久扎凯丽是发展；看到了凯丽与老朋友的对视，改变主意是第二小情节；最后用爱之镖扎了老朋友是结尾。“我不想独自一人变老。你无法控制你会爱上谁，你无法控制谁会爱上你，你无法控制这一切如何发生，何时发生，为何发生，这些你都无法控制，但是我可以。我只是一个准星比较好的普通人而已，如果你见过我，肯定会把我当作一个白痴。我猜这就是，爱为什么从来都没有道理。因为…我就是爱神。”

你无法控制你会爱上谁，你无法控制谁会爱上你，你无法控制这一切如何发生，何时发生，为何发生，这就是为什么爱从来都没有什么道理。

自导自演还兼任编剧，飞镖带来的爱的功效时间即将过完，他们一起看芭蕾舞剧《天鹅湖》，镜头没有给台上，却用音乐形成了一个互文，舞台上高潮的来临和对方是否爱上自己的揭秘，一波又一波的音乐。

劇情構思挺有趣，在保證了有娛樂性的同時也向觀眾傳遞這樣一個信息，愛這種事沒法控制，不能強求。有升華，有提煉出生活的真相，流暢~

本来是抱着看学生作品的心态看的，觉得10天拍出这个成果真的超级厉害，可能也有一点点校友滤镜。剧本是个传统三段式的故事，黑白画面和爵士乐搭配在一起给了片子复古和寓言式的基调。可能是很简单的故事让有些人觉得没有什么亮点，但其中很多人物的细节设定和对话都很妙!

You can’t control who you love，you can’t control who loves you。You can’t control how it happens，or when it happens，or why it happens。You can’t control any of that stuff。
