Acchan

故事不止于法律探討，看似內(nèi)核涉及大陸法系和英美法系的哲理思辨，實(shí)則仍基于一個(gè)藝術(shù)-電影的史學(xué)分合路線，即好萊塢出自建構(gòu)主義的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作基調(diào)——相信人性和情感的古典原動(dòng)力，情動(dòng)必然大于辯理。 則主角必定掌握著絕對(duì)的道德傾向而決定了他的弧線走向緊緊綁定著通理的價(jià)值判斷，這是好萊塢的基礎(chǔ)，也是所謂保守的來(lái)源。全片的氛圍亦在不斷地強(qiáng)調(diào)著這一心理預(yù)期，并試圖以法官的存在假裝擾亂這一過(guò)程，實(shí)則是進(jìn)一步反襯主角的正當(dāng)性。 而觀眾等同暴動(dòng)的人民，他們樸素著義憤填膺，但永遠(yuǎn)不忘施加暴行，那么電影是誰(shuí)？前半是法官，建立規(guī)則-世界觀，后半是主角，用行動(dòng)造夢(mèng)-生情，兩者握手，撫平暴行，規(guī)則和現(xiàn)實(shí)吻合，觀眾得到安慰，人性的溫良無(wú)條件地位于中心，滿載淳樸的信任，矛盾也只是它的墊腳石。

子夜無(wú)人

★★★☆☆ 沒(méi)關(guān)系，我蘭是花瓶。

像音片碎

沒(méi)記住

漩渦之外

前半段陰差陽(yáng)錯(cuò)的喜劇笑點(diǎn)疊加詼諧風(fēng)趣，眾多人物關(guān)系的“錯(cuò)中錯(cuò)”，安排蠻有匠心，琪恩仍然精準(zhǔn)到位地演繹可愛(ài)正義的喜劇女孩。后面節(jié)奏稍拖，三人感情表達(dá)不夠精練。在結(jié)尾點(diǎn)明了法理與情理的關(guān)系，回到了正軌。

阿斯巴-甜

看完讓人覺(jué)得那個(gè)時(shí)代的好萊塢只剩矯揉造作

一顆大檸檬

［3-］喜劇部分尚可，后面亂糟糟的就沒(méi)意思了，建議是三個(gè)人一起生活沒(méi)必要非得定下來(lái)

在網(wǎng)上搜了下，沒(méi)看到什么劇情描述，把英文的貼過(guò)來(lái)。

The Story

The opening sequence involves a flaming factory, a missing foreman, and an accused worker. Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant), a factory worker and a self-professed radical and political anarchist is falsely accused (framed on trumped-up charges of arson and murder) in a small New England town by the factory owner Andrew Holmes (Charles Dingle), for setting fire to the Holmes Woolen Mill factory and killing its guard/foreman Clyde Bracken (Tom Tyler). After being arrested, tried, and sentenced to hang, Dilg escapes from prison, goes on the run from the police, and hides out in the secluded country home of high-schoolteacher Nora Shelley (Jean Arthur). She is in the midst of preparing the old farmhouse (Sweetbrook cottage) in which she used to live for summer rental, as the fugitive with a badly injured ankle arrives. They had known each other as schoolmates:

Nora: Leopold, as far as I know, you're capable of anything, even burning a factory. You were the wildest kid that ever went to a Locester school. Dilg: You wore pigtails then. I was in love with you.

Amusing circumstances arise as she attempts to keep his presence a secret in the attic from the unsuspecting renter who arrives unexpectedly 24 hours early, due to the fault of his secretary. The tenant is a conservative, strict law-and-order, Dean of Commonwealth Law School and legal scholar, Professor Michael Lightcap (Ronald Colman), who is being considered for a Supreme Court appointment. The erudite professor hears Dilg snoring at night, and thinking it's Nora, remarks: "She must have adenoids." Nora is forced to identify Dilg as "Joseph," the gardener to the professor. In a classic scene, she drops the professor's egg breakfast on the newspaper's front page, where Dilg's picture is portrayed with the headline: "DILG ESCAPES TRAP!"

Dilg and Lightcap become engaged in long arguments about the law. Dilg maintains that the law is "a gun pointed at someone's head" rather than being created with common sense for what people actually do. Although they disagree at first, Dilg is persuasive. The professor learns Dilg's real identity, but must be careful not to hurt his chances for appointment when he defends and reopens Dilg's case.

In the end, Lightcap helps clear Dilg of his crime, defends his rights, and uncovers a frame-up, with a stirring speech in front of the courtroom to an unruly mob:

His (Dilg's) only crime was that he had courage and spoke his mind...This is your law and your finest possession. It makes you free men in a free country. Why have you come here to destroy it? If you know what's good for you, take those weapons home and burn them - and then think. Think of this country and of the law that makes it what it is. Think of a world crying for this very law. Then maybe you'll understand why you ought to guard it, and why the law has got to be the personal concern of every citizen, to uphold it for your neighbor as well as for yourself. Violence against it is one mistake. Another mistake is for any man to look upon the law as just a set of principles. Just so much language printed on fine, heavy paper. Something he recites and then leans back and takes it for granted that justice is automatically being done. Both kinds of men are equally wrong. The law must be engraved in our hearts and practiced every minute, to the letter and spirit. It can't even exist unless we're willing to go down into the dust and blood and fight a battle every day of our lives to preserve it, for our neighbor as well as ourselves.

The studio originally shot two different conclusions to the film -- one where Cary Grant gets the girl, and one where Ronald Colman wins Jean Arthur's affections. The film ends with both Dilg and Nora in Washington, to see Lightcap take his rightful place on the judicial bench. Although Nora winks at the judge, she races after Dilg for a film-ending embrace in the hallway of the US Supreme Court building.
