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. He has also become a character who has been scolded by many people. This is the American outlook on life (religion), as written in the Bible: "It is as difficult for a rich man to enter heaven as it is to put a cow through the eye of a needle." (Although the United States is actually a capitalist's paradise. .)
Let's look at the court scene at the end of the movie. In fact, if the court scene is removed, this movie can only be regarded as a dull movie. This is mainly due to the inappropriate use of film performance techniques by the director before this. (Or rather immature), which makes the director's interpretation of the large sections of the film in the front of the movie pedagogical and superficial, and even somewhat comical.
Americans are indeed very happy and good at shooting court scenes, and there are many classic court scenes in American movies. (Too many, I don't even want to give an example). But I believe that many audiences do not like this wonderful courtroom drama. I think this is mainly due to the Chinese people's incomprehension of Westerners' attitude towards the spirit of law (or more specifically, the spirit of contract). In the eyes of us Orientals, the mighty devil does not bother to talk about the law with us ordinary human beings. He crushes us like an ant, but in the eyes of the Americans, a powerful devil should also obey the spirit of the law. (Spirit of Contract). Let me give an example. Satan Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate" helped his son Keanu Reeves to be a successful lawyer. That is to say, if the devil wants to compete with God for domination of the world, he must also use the weapon of law.
Part of the splendid courtroom drama stems from the fact that the protagonists who are always used very successfully in American courtroom dramas start to be made by the other side, but in the end they can always turn things around.
Of course the better part comes from Daniel Webster's defenses, those about America, about freedom, about the human soul. But the contradiction has come again. In China, where the realists are the majority, we will feel that these lines are very contrived. Finally, let me give an example. In the latest season of "Hero", the fat Japanese man who always puts the burden of saving the world on himself. In order to save the life of his little lover, he went back to the past and stole a piece of clothing, which happened to be covered by the clothes. The master's son was caught, and the fat man explained, "This is for love." The child said, "You lied, there is no such thing as love in the world." Look, this is the difference between an idealist and a realist .
So whether you like this movie or not is a matter of what the benevolent sees, and the wise sees wisdom
