惊沙[电影解说]

文革期间，戴眼镜的小男孩天奔（Liang Yi Guo 饰）因为听了一张周璇的黑角唱片，而被冠以“散播黄色歌曲”的罪名被发配万寿山接受改造。这里云集了来自四面八方的“牛鬼蛇神”，天奔小小年纪就要遵照管教的命令早晚高唱请愿歌，与其他政治犯一起背粪桶、锄地、劈柴、挑水、做饭，干这一切艰苦而无望的活计。人们在这里被打回原始的状态，生存成了最基本的诉求。在他们当中，似乎只有那个始终含笑不语的哑巴道士处之泰然，然而在这个疯狂的年代里，没有一个人能够超然世外……

本片为1979年同名影片的翻拍之作。

In 1672, two witches (Jennifer and her father Daniel) were burned by puritan Jonathan Wooley. In revenge, Jennifer cursed all future generations of the Wooley family, that the sons will always marry the wrong woman and be miserable. In the 20th century, a bolt of lightning frees Jennifer and her father from the tree that had kept their souls imprisoned. Jennifer assumes corporeal form and decides to make up-and-coming politician Wallace Wooley, then unhappily engaged, even more miserable by getting him to fall in love with her before his wedding. Wallace is a straight arrow, though, and Jennifer has to resort to a love potion. As we all know, love potions tend to backfire, with comedic results.

Crusading journalist Maddie Magellan is instrumental in getting a man released from prison after serving nine years for a murder she believes he did not commit. The next day, the victim's widower apparently shoots himself after locking himself in his personal nuclear fall-out shelter. Investigators and engineers insist that no one could have gotten in or out of the shelter after the door was sealed. Yet those closest to the alleged suicide insist that his hands were so crippled with arthritis that he could not have run the bolts on the massive door, let alone pulled the trigger on a gun. Maddie coerces reluctant sleuth Jonathan Creek into investigating the case.
