黑色午夜

 本片是由哥倫比亞電影公司出資委任電視紀錄片導演皮特?戴維斯（Peter Davis）拍攝的一部探討美國為何在1959-1975年期間發動對越戰爭，越南人民的悲慘遭遇，以及美國人民對越戰態度轉變的紀錄片。這是美國本土首次放映直接采訪刻畫越南平民慘境的影片，片中多次表現了美軍將領的種族主義和美國政府對國內人民的無恥欺騙。電影于1974年在法國嘎納電影節首映，隨即便因內容的嚴重爭議性被哥倫比亞公司擱置。制片人波特?施耐德（Bert Schneider）與亨利?蘭格（Henry Lange）向哥倫比亞公司買回了版權，并終于1975年通過華納公司在美國公映。本片獲1974年奧斯卡最佳紀錄片獎，并被提名同年金球獎最佳紀錄片。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
