替天行道2001

  这片子看到上半部觉得四星有余了，下半部跟这剧情一样，四星呼转急下到一星！我也替天行道一次，综合起来周末双星（薪）吧！
  电影开始的节奏我很喜欢，感觉是父亲做了一个荒唐的梦，然后疯了的节奏！顺便说一句特别喜欢那演哥哥芬顿的那男孩，觉得他很有辨识能力，性格我喜欢，表现不错！照这个剧情写下去，该是一个疯了的父亲进行一场场的杀戮，最终肯定死于一场失手或者意外！大儿子变成了警察（或者正义的人物），小儿子延续了父亲的疯癫变成了一个杀人狂！最后兄弟反目成仇，互相决斗的故事！
    好吧，可惜我看到了这前头，仍然猜错了这结尾！
    到了后半段，剧情忽转急下，来个大反转，扑朔迷离，第二次猜测还算比较准确的，这男主果然就是弟弟Adam本人！这次反转也就算了，但是最后的反转真是无法忍受，是真拙计！原来弟弟Adam通过父亲的触摸受害人看到了身上的之前做过的坏事，真的看到了恶魔,他成了他父亲的继承人，也可以通过触摸对方的感知对方的罪恶！而且附加了一段各个受害人的罪恶片段！此时我想说句，Oh, my god!!!导演忘记吃药了吧！？此片一下从一个佳片沦为一个脑残片了！拙计点有以下几点：1.先说说忽转急下的那段，能感知对方的罪恶，突然有超能力了？让我想起了凯奇的恶灵骑士，那部片子里至少有个传递人吧。你这特异功能哪里来的？2.正义和邪恶傻傻分不清楚，到底哥哥呢还是弟弟，我想哥哥肯定不是邪恶的！可是弟弟呢，为了配合反转剧情的持续，弟弟果断干掉哥哥，以示观众，This is what the damn justice!3.那警长我也是笑了，为了配合剧情，说了句，你怎么知道的？（此处指杀他母亲）突然手脚无力，被扔到坑中，说我可是FBI，他们会来找你的。喝的水差点喷出来，FBI原来这么搓比，拿个手枪被一个靠着手铐的人制服了！天呐，此处导演用的是反讽手法吗？4.为了突出反转剧情之后的正义，Adam摸了下年轻警员的手说：you are a good man, sheriff! 为了给主角光环还给主角赔了个漂亮的而且还怀孕的老婆,正义的延续吗？此时，我长跪不起！
     最后想说，演员是好演员，导演我看了下也是个了不起的导演，我想那肯定是编剧脑子里有屎了！要不然就是半夜做了个噩梦，敲了导演的门，Bill, I dreamed of a fucking dream for the fucking ending of the movie.it is like this ...导演翻了个身，没睁开睡眼，回了句：OK, you continue to shoot the film tomorrow.Good night !
     

从片中的动画片看出导演倡导Free Will的意思，结局却说小儿子的确有看到恶魔，容易让人感觉是传教片，整个片子就是藏头诗

好像没有流芳百世的藏头诗吧

The subtext of free will is very consciously handled in this film; in one scene, Fenton and Adam were even watching a claymation parable about it on tv. For anyone with a comparative understanding of the religion, the question of free will versus destiny is one of the major themes in Christianity. I think Frailty uses that to great effect. It does seem to come down more on the side of destiny being written and the worth of a soul being weighed out before the sins have been committed, or, at the very least, that free will exists but an omniscient God can predict the end results. Nonetheless God waits for you to commit the sins before He sends vengeance. Remember, Adam said he had to wait until God put Fenton on his list, otherwise it would have been murder.

Yes, Fenton had the choice to murder or not to murder those people but the film makes the viewers think, ok, God tells a man to kill Demons AKA People who commit murder and destroy the innocence of children. His child, a boy who seems to think logically and seems to question his father's blind faith witnesses his father murder people because God told him too in a very grotesque fashion. Could Adam not see later on that those actions may have very much mentally harmed his brother to a point where he had murderous impulses he could possibly not control due to mental illness? Adam had faith but the film also made him appear to be impressionable at a young age and he could have grown up all his life not thinking about the trauma his more logical thinking brother (as he was portrayed )had gone through. Yes, Fenton didn't have to murder people as he has free will, but it is no doubt that the actions he witnessed as a child mentally harmed him. The film to me also seemed to have portrayed God as hypocritical. Murder is a sin yet it is ok to murder those God instructs you to murder? If those people committed those sins out of their own free will, was it right that God appoint another person to commit the murder of another human when murder itself is a sin? The film presents both the themes of free will and blind faith and handles both exceptionally well. The film really does make you think. Definitely one of my favorite horror movies.

  this is ridiculous that I could find more than 100 comment on popcorn movie like kund fu panda or Narnia but there is no comment on this movie!I admit that it's not a famous movie and may be ppl can't find it easliy on dvd shop or internet but it was extremely worth a watching.
   The plot fights aginst ppl 's religion,especially who believes jesus.I had to admit it's an intriguing plot,including suspense,faith,conflict and fear.nowadays hollywood script writers launch a strike for their unfair pay,but what they had wrote was full of bullshit and made us thinking about their poor intelligence.what had they wrote?My little bro's story was more interesing than their "script" After u watched this movie u will be fed up with popcorn movies or hollyshit movies.
Bill paxton is not a famous actor but I believe he is an underrated prodigy.U can sense that on this movie ,and he shows his potential on directing.Thanks to his remarkable performance,I enjoy an amazing trip while watching and look forward to his next movie.

对片中上帝规则的揣度。
下文中的"名单"一词代指上帝之手的待杀名单。
0.名单上的类人生物!=人类，而是恶魔。杀恶魔！=杀人
1.杀人是上名单的充分条件（这里的杀人含义同第0条），但能否排上名单的影响因素可能有：被杀者与凶手的关系；被杀者的数量。长子杀父后，又十多年后杀了6人（具体人类数量不确定，但肯定大于等于1个），这时候才排上名单；而FBI探员仅杀母1人便很快排上名单（FBI被亚当触碰时闪回的场景中FBI与现在的年龄相仿），作为FBI探员追捕连环杀手，曾经枪杀一，两个罪犯自然有可能，只是这些都不算杀人(参见第0条)。
2.不信者不一定是恶魔，因为没有天生的信徒，信仰都是后天培养的。但这一家人的长子却是潜在的恶魔，在天使告之父亲，你长子是恶魔，所以他看不到真相的那刻起，他的命运便注定了。
3.潜在恶魔不会立刻出在名单上。(影片48分27秒)天使告之父亲，他的长子是不信者（84分钟），所以他看不到真相。父亲试图将长子改造成信徒，却失败了，若干年后长人以上帝之手名义杀6人，才达成上名单的条件。
4.不信者很难被救赎，甚至上帝会刻意引导其达成上名单的条件。年幼长子的善良无容置疑，却被宣称为恶魔。如果上帝希望，它可以有一万种方式使长子成为信徒。但它却没有去做，比如：
4.1 让父亲早点看到神迹，此时长子和次子一样幼稚如白纸，很容易教导成盲信徒；相反上帝刻意制造冲突，父亲也说我们的使命要秘密进行，为了不暴露，父亲宁可杀掉无辜者。上帝却不避免父亲一开始把神迹告诉一个明显会告密的不信者（长子）？这不摆明坑爹么？
4.2 影片开头表述，其实长子在家扮演了半个父亲的角色，而父亲与两个儿子之前交流过少，大部分时间忙于工作。如果天使可以早点告之父亲多交流宗教心得，而不要等到长子学会分辨善恶与独立思考的自我意识后，再用挖坑或关地窖的方式来”交流”…结果定然会大不一样。
种种因果，最后6人的杀戮这一结果，又反过来印证了年少善良时恶魔的定论。上帝好一个自圆其说。
5.长子杀父与FBI杀母有本质的不同：父亲杀掉警长(无辜者)后，犯下杀人的罪过，此后的父亲是否已在名单上？如果在名单上，后面的杀父便不算杀人；或换另一种理解，以善意而作的恶行是否构成上名单的理由？为了仅见一面，未知其善恶的陌生人，长子杀掉了自己所爱的父亲，因为在当时社会的常识看来，父亲的杀戮没有理由，只有可能是疯了，而吝啬的上帝又不愿意为不信者彰显奇迹，让他看到这陌生人的罪恶，了解其父的苦心。这种情景下的杀父，长子没有被排上名单是正常的；而FBI杀母一事，我只能猜测哪怕他母亲再恶毒，但也没有杀过人。
