It should be called "The Devil and Daniel Webster"

The film begins with a traveler looking through his notebook on the road and finding a name: Jabez Stone, 27, married, no children, no savings. The camera then turns to Jabez Stone's house. He had a bad day. The piglet broke his leg, and he had to use the calf and a bag of seeds to pay off the debt he owed to the usurer Stevens, but his wife Mary fell while catching the cow. Yes, the seeds were also scattered in the mud. Jabez was very annoyed, and shouted: "It makes...

Realist you will hate it, idealist you will love it

In fact, looking at the American worldview from this film is actually very interesting. Jabez was made his slave by the devil. (Because before this, he always suffered bad luck). But as Jabez's wife said, they can live in poverty as long as every family member is happy. This is the most basic American family concept. When Jabez became a rich man, that is, after being bewitched by the devil, he became a miser who liquidated every coin like Mr. Glander, and made his peasant brother into a pauper....

Films that mirror the age of printing in the age of television

When I saw that it was written on the cover, 1941 was a film that shocked the film industry as much as "Citizen Kane". I couldn't stand the temptation, so I bought it and watched it. The glorious dream of the man, and the religious self-denial and forbearance, really have the American flavor of adolescence. The skills are alright, some of the non-point-of-sight shots are rather weird, but people and scenes have a feeling of being watched. At the end, the devil looks directly at the camera and...

I can still give this country back to the Indians, fuck it. . . American lawyers can really tell the dead to live and the devil to run. . This country has been in the hands of the devil since the beginning, don't you think that Uncle Sam's image is exactly the same as this devil? . . The heroine Anne Shirley is so beautiful, I think she is the most full-bodied Hollywood actress I have ever...

It's not so much a religious-related patriotic education film as an old American, but at the end the devil's pose is that classic military recruiting advertisement, isn't it really ironic, dear? Then why are the devils in the films I watched recently so cute, the revenge method of this person who lost the lawsuit was to steal the peach pie that people love to eat...

The name is translated like a film noir, but it turned out to be a religious exhortation drama with a strong didactic meaning, and it also has a burst of American patriotism. It's really not among its target audience. The heroine looks better than Olivia de...
