    影片开头是一个旅客模样的人在路上翻看他的笔记本,找到一个名字:杰贝兹·斯通,27岁,已婚,没有孩子,没有存款。镜头接着转向杰贝兹·斯通家里。他这一天倒霉透了,小猪摔断了腿,为还欠高利货者史蒂文斯的到期债务,他只好用小牛和一袋种子抵数,但在捉牛时妻子玛丽摔伤了,种子也撒在了...

    影片在内容上可以说是一个寓言。故事来源于欧洲自中世纪以来就广泛流传的民间传说:将灵魂出卖给魔鬼以换取荣华富贵。在班尼特之前最著名的当属浮士德的故事,还有巴尔扎克的短篇小说《忏悔的梅莫特》等等。这个故事原型之所以流传广泛,是因为寓意深刻,揭示的是人性中最深刻的矛盾冲突:灵与肉。   从基督教出现以来,灵与肉的冲突就成为西方文学中的永恒题材。福音书里耶稣经受撒旦三大试探,第一项试探就是被带到旷野禁食40天。撒旦说:你若真是上帝的儿子,上帝必不会让你饿死。耶稣说:人活着,不光靠面包。意即人活着还得有信仰,有精神追求,生命的意义不在于物质欲望的满足。   韦伯斯特在“法庭”上为杰贝兹的辩护,阐明灵魂的意义及其与自由的关系,这种说教一般来说是违反文学创作的惯例的,然而在影片里却丝毫不让人觉得枯燥生厌,相反却具有一种强大的震撼力。这是因为他的辩护紧扣剧情,打中了陪审团的要害,合情合理。   的确,正如中国话所说:魔由心生。魔鬼只存在于人的心中。人如果没有灵魂——这里应做广义理解,不是迷信意义上的灵魂,而是人的精神追求——人就如同行尸走肉,人也就失去了存在的自由。   影片对矛盾冲突的处理尤为精彩。杰贝兹把灵魂卖给魔鬼,白纸黑字的契约,铁证如山。观众在观看过程中一直想知道的就是他怎样才能得救?这个扣怎样才能解开?对非西方观众来说,这个谜尤其难解,也许会以为韦伯斯特到哪去学几招魔法,跟魔鬼硬对硬地干。没想到作者巧妙地设想了“法庭审判”的解决方法,既出人意料又合情合理。      对中国人而言,这部影片让我们生动领略了美国的法律文化,你看,连魔鬼做坏事也遵循法律程序,败诉后也乖乖地服从陪审团的裁决。这在我们中国人简直难以理解,魔鬼凭其强大的魔力,把灵魂直接抢走不就得了?还费恁多事!?这就是思维习惯、文化传统的不同。对于美国(及整个西方)文化来说,合法契约高于一切。      影片在形式上是很传统的,即线性叙事结构,没有现代主义和后现代主义各种各样让人眼花缭乱的花招,诸如时空跳跃、意识流,视角变换等等,然而却并不因此而减弱其艺术魅力。这让人不得不再次思考艺术的真正本质是什么!

  • [Webster is examing the contract Mr. Scratch has with Stone] 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • This appears - mind you, I say appears - to be properly drawn. But you shan't have this man. A man isn't a piece of property. Mr. Stone is an American citizen... and an American citizen cannot be forced into the service of a foreign prince. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mr. Scratch: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Foreign? Who calls me a foreigner? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Well, I never heard of the de... I never heard of you claiming American citizenship. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mr. Scratch: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • And who has a better right? When the first wrong was done to the first Indian, I was there. When the first slaver put out for the Congo, I stood on the deck. Am I not still spoken of in every church in New England? It's true the North claims me for a Southerner and the South for a Northerner, but I'm neither. Tell the truth, Mr. Webster - though I don't like to boast of it - my name is older in the country than yours. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Then I stand on the Constitution. I demand a trial for my client. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mr. Scratch: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • You mean a jury trial? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • I do! And if I can't win this case with a jury you'll have me, too. If two New Hampshire men aren't a match for the devil, we better give the country back to the Indians. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • [Ma Stone is reading out loud from the book of Job] 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mary Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Give me the book, Ma. I'm going to read us something cheerful from the book of Ruth. That is, if you don't mind changing the lesson. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Ma Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Land sakes, I don't mind. I never did hold much with Job, even if he is scripture. Took on too much to suit me. Course I don't want to malign the man; but he always sounded to me like he come from Massachusetts. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Money's a funny thing ain't it, Ma? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Ma Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • I figure it depends a mite on how you get it and how you spend it. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • But I don't spend any. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Ma Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • But you should, son. That's all it's good for. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Do you really think that? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Ma Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • That's just common sense. Now a man like Daniel Webster: guess they pay him high for what he does, but he's worth it. And he helps others... makes all the difference. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • I know. But suppose a man got his money in bad ways? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Ma Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Wouldn't profit him none. You see, son: I'm old and I've lived. When a man gets his money in bad way... when he sees the better course and takes the worse... then the devil's in his heart. And that fixes him. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • And yet... a man could change all that couldn't he? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Ma Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • A man can always change things. That's what makes him different from the barnyard critters. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制

  • What do you have on your mind? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • a2 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • You, Jabez Stone. You and a lot of poor farmers hereabouts... all good men of the earth and in trouble because of you. Or am I wrong about those contracts? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • fbe 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Without me and my money they wouldn't have anything. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • They'd have a good neighbor - and that's worth more than anything else... much, much more. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • [Webster and Stone are waiting for Mr. Scratch] 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • How long do we have to wait? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • 'Til midnight. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Oh, that's fine - then we have time to christen a jug. Old Medford rum: aahh, there's nothing like it. You know, somehow or other, waiting becomes wonderfully shorter with a jug. I saw an inchworm once take a drop of this and he stood right up on his hind legs and bit a bee! 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • [chuckles and takes a drink] 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Will you have a nip? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • No, there's no joy in it for me. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Oh, come, come now. Just because you sold your soul to the devil that needn't make you a teetotaler. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • I'd fight ten thousand devils to save a New Hampshire man. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mr. Scratch: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • You'll never be president - I'll see to that! 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Daniel Webster: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • If two New Hampshire men aren't a match for the devil, we'd better give this country back to the Indians. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mr. Scratch: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • [Jabez, after noticing that one of Mr. Scratch's victims is now the size of a fly, asks him how big their souls are] Oh, I see what you mean; why, they vary... Now, in your case, I could probably keep you in my vest pocket. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • [Jabez Stone is examining Mr. Scratch's contract] 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Jabez Stone: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • What does it mean here, about my soul? 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Mr. Scratch: 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
  • Why should that worry you? A soul? A soul is nothing. Can you see it, smell it, touch it? No. This soul, *your* soul, are nothing against seven years of good luck. You'll have money and all that money can buy. 复制 复制成功 复制失败,请手动复制
