回到德罗宁身边

这些电影中任何一个
Every single one of these movies
都可以讲述约翰生命中不同的人

而且我认为 在某种程度上
And I think in a way,
约翰·德罗宁的庐山真面目到底是什么
这也是为什么很多剧本要写他的故事
that's why so many scripts have been written about him
那是因为人们对于他是褒贬不一的
because, you know, he is open to interpretation.
你印象中可能他是一个备受指责的人
You get the impression that he is either a beleaguered man
他名誉尽失
who was discredited
受这个国家的大企业操控
and manipulated by big business in this country
或者他是有史以来最大的骗子
