Redford has fashioned (from Paul Attanasio's brilliant screenplay) an impeccably nuanced Faustian drama which aspires to capture America's fall from grace: that point at the end of the '50s when the country first lost faith in itself.
他犯了錯、他受了罪、他道了歉，然後獲得的掌聲如雷，絲毫不下他意氣風發作弊的時刻。不知道那個申冤苦主是否在那一刻有意識到，這才是他被這騙子取代的殘酷真相──一個富有魅力的人，做任何事情都能比你更富姿態的美麗，甚至隔了四十年被翻拍成電影，而站穩正義的你則狼狽猶如腳插田泥的村姑，自始至終都被嫌土氣。
A supremely elegant and thoughtful parable.
