''Tully'' is a 2000 American drama film written and directed by Hilary Birmingham. The film was screened at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival on April 14, 2000 and received a limited release in the United States on November 1, 2002. It is based on an O. Henry Award-winning short story by author Tom McNeal. Originally titled ''The Truth About Tully'', the film changed its name to avoid confusion with Jonathan Demme's ''The Truth About Charlie''. ==Plot== The story centers around the Coates brothers, Tully and Earl, who live on their father's ranch in rural Nebraska. Their mother abandoned the family at a young age. Tully is very outgoing and has relationships with many women, including a stripper named April. Earl is more of an introvert. Ella, a childhood friend comes back to town to start a veterinarian practice. She is friends with both of the Coates brothers. Initially, it appears that Ella has more in common with Earl, as she is reserved and not the typical woman that Tully dates. However, they start a relationship. The elder Coates clearly misses his wife, and as the film develops, his financial problems worsen. It is eventually shown that his financial problems are due to his wife's medical bills (he never got a divorce). Tully Sr. commits suicide. The film's climax is how the brothers and Ella react to this tragic event. 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「Tully (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
