影片對白 Quid
pro quo. You scratch my back, I scratch yours.
文化面面觀 United
States Federal Witness Protection Program 美國司法中的證人保護
Normally, the witness is provided with a new name and location. Witnesses are
encouraged to keep their first names and choose last names with the same
initial. The U.S. Marshals Service provides new documentation, assists in
finding housing and employment and provides a stipend until the witness gets on
their feet, but the stipend can be discontinued if the U.S. Marshals Service
feels that the witness is not making an aggressive effort to find a job.
Witnesses are not to travel back to their hometowns or contact unprotected
family members or former associates. Around 17% of protected witnesses will
commit another crime, compared to the less than the 40% of parolees who return
to crime.
Many U.S. states, including California and New York, have their own witness
protection programs for crimes not covered by the federal program. The state-run
programs provide less extensive protections than the federal program.
我觀之我見
 在這個片斷里，Michael假意對Falzone供出對他不利的證人Fibonacci的地址，使得Falzone出錢恢復(fù)了Abruzzi監(jiān)獄老大的位置，越獄計劃的繼續(xù)實施得以保障。當(dāng)Falzone出動去殺死證人時，才發(fā)現(xiàn)上了Michael的當(dāng)，被警察一舉抓獲。在Michael而言，他并不想為了越獄而去犧牲一個好人的性命。獄警Bob和獄友Cherry的死對他的觸動非常大，他已經(jīng)意識到這次計劃可能會犧牲很多生命。盡管如此他并不想放棄拯救哥哥的計劃。他能做的只是盡力防止其他人的死亡。
