．故事講Kate Beckinsale主演的報社記者，因為遵守保護消息來源人的新聞道德，而此行為又與美國國家安全相違背，始終不願對法庭指出來源人姓名，而被拘禁長達一年，爾後再確認入獄服刑兩年。遵守原則，而與更大價值／權力之間的角力。
．因為是商周特別推薦的電影，特別找出來。劇情張力／架構邊演就變小了，很可惜。
．演了兩個小時，戲裡大家的脾氣都很大，動不動就飆髒話；不知同樣的故事，由法國人來拍是否會好點。

“布莱兹伯格案”中的斯图尔特法官曾说过：
In his dissent in Branzburg, Justice Stewart said,

“随着时光流逝 政府手中的权力渗透到各个角落”
“As the years pass,the power of government becomes more and more pervasive.”
“As the years pass,the power of government becomes more and more pervasive.”
“这些当权者 无论何党何派”
“Those in power,” he said, “whatever their politics,”

“都只想着让自己永垂不朽”
“want only to perpetuate it”

“而人民才是最终的受害者”

多年以后 这样的权力被愈加滥用
Well, the years have passed, and that power is pervasive.

阿姆斯特朗女士

本可放弃她保守秘密的原则
She could have abandoned her promise of confidentiality.

本可简简单单地回去同家人团聚
She could have simply gone home to her family.

但如果这么做了
But to do so

当我们逮捕了其他的报社记者
when we lock up journalists from other newspapers,

我们让这些报社失去所有的信息来源
we’ll make those publications irrelevant as well,

等同于我们在无视第一修正案的存在
and thus we’ll make the First Amendment irrelevant.
and thus we’ll make the First Amendment irrelevant.
那我们又如何才能知晓 一名总统是否有掩盖罪责？
And then how will we know if a president has covered up crimes?
And then how will we know if a president has covered up crimes?
一名军官是否有虐待囚徒？
Or if an army officer has condoned torture?

作为一个国家

当我们不再有能力约束当权者手中权力的时候
will no longer be able to hold those in power accountable to those whom they have power over.

当政府不再惧怕任何责任的时候
And what then is the nature of government

它将成为何种性质的国家？
when it has no fear of accountability?

这值得我们认真思考
We should shudder at the thought.

监禁记者？那针对的是别的国家
Imprisoning journalists? That’s for other countries.

是那些惧怕她人民的国家
That’s for countries who fear their citizens,

就在不久前
Some time ago,

我开始感受到来自瑞秋·阿姆斯特朗案中的人性压力
I began to feel the personal human pressure on Rachel Armstrong,

我曾告诉她 我只代表她个人

而不是她的原则

直到我再次见到她
And it was not until I met her

我才意识到：对真正伟大的人而言
that I realized that with great people,

个人与原则之间 根本没有区别
there’s no difference between principle and the person.
