地下城主

An evil drow-elf is displaced by Hurricane Katrina. A sanitation worker lures friends into a Sphere of Annihilation. A failed supervill ain starts a cable access show involving ninjas, puppets, and a cooking segment. These are the characters, real and imagined, of The Dungeon Masters: Against the backdrop of crumbling middle-class America, two men and one woman devote their lives to Dungeons and Dragons, the storied role-playing game, and its various descendants. As their baroque fantasies clash with mundane real lives, the characters find it increasingly difficult to allay their fear, loneliness, and disappointment with the game's imaginary triumphs. Soon the true heroic act of each character's real life emerges, and the film follows each as he or she summons the courage to face it. Along the way, The Dungeon Masters reimagines the tropes of classic heroic cinema, creating an intimate portrait of minor struggles and triumphs writ large.


　　本片将深入探讨角色扮演游戏﹝RPG﹞的魅力所在。畅销长达30年的《龙与地下城》提供所有玩家一个逃避真实人生的避风港，就是一个绝佳的例子，只要你够有创意和想像力就能成功，真实世界当中的社会地位以及财富在这里失去意义，只要敢作就会赢！

之所以选择这3个DM是因为他们所面对的问题涵盖了事业、爱情和家庭，但有一个严重的问题——缺乏故事。3人中只有scott corum出版小说算是有冲突和悬念的故事。另2人的部分则更像是生活记录，反而影响了本身的叙事。第二个严重的问题是纪录片需要的是进入被摄者的生活，而不是让他对镜头讲述。
