简介:
影片根据真实故事改编。杰克·阿布拉莫夫是所谓的“政治机器”,尽管他自己并不是政治家,但却对政治了如指掌。从大学时代开始,杰克就是一个政治的狂热爱好者,他雄心勃勃地支持里根竞选总统。数十年之后,杰克·阿布拉莫夫又开始了自己投机倒把的“说客”生涯,并且利用自己和政府高官的关系开办了许多赌场。围绕着自己的“生意”,杰克·阿布拉莫夫的身边有着各种各样的人。其中,迈克尔·斯甘仑是他最喜欢的生意伙伴。在贪婪心理和金钱的驱动下,杰克开始利用自己的关系网操控赌场、侵占印第安人的土地,并且渐渐地把自己的触角伸向了更为敏感的领域:俄罗斯间谍、使第三世界国家逐渐成为发达国家“代工厂”和“垃圾场”……甚至还有一些有预谋的谋杀案。不过,杰克的政客生涯并没有维持多久,很快他的臭名昭著的劣迹便被揭发。这个揭发本身来得非常讽刺——一份来自共和党内部的指控列举了杰克的种种罪行。而他本人也锒铛入狱,成为了阶下囚。当然,和他一起落马的还有他的一些生意伙伴以及白宫的高官。

简介:

  Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
  If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
  [Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
  To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
  More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

  In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
  (Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
  I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.
