输赢 电视剧简介

American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。1994年，犹太裔美国教授黛博拉·利普斯塔特就自己的著作《否认大屠杀》和《对事实与记忆日益增长的歪曲》发表演说时，遭到右翼英国作家大卫·欧文的质询。欧文坚称黛博拉在其著作中称自己为“犹太大屠杀否认者”是恶意诽谤，并将其诉诸法庭。一贯不愿与人就“大屠杀”辩论的黛博拉无法忍受欧文在媒体上冠冕堂皇地大谈对大屠杀历史的否认，她请来英国著名律师安东尼·作为法律顾问，并由安东尼组建了专家组和法律团队。2000年1月11日英国皇家法院正式开庭审理此案。庭审初期，欧文显得更占上风，黛博拉按耐不住焦急的情绪，而安东尼和德高望重的辩护律师理查德·兰普顿表现得十分冷静。在接下来的几轮激烈交锋中，理查德通过整理欧文的大量日记、亲身丈量奥斯维辛集中营的距离，提出有利的证据反驳欧文的论断。经过三个月的漫长审理，法官最终判决黛博拉·利普斯塔特获胜。 影片改编自黛博拉·利普斯塔特的...。
