以上内容均为真人真事。而本片也就是根据玛琳娜·珀尔就关于丈夫的回忆录《坚强的心:我的丈夫丹尼·珀尔勇敢的生活和死亡》(A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl)改编而成。
影片完全尊重书中纪录,从身怀六甲的玛琳娜·珀尔角度展开故事,向世人刻画描写了一位坚强的妇女,一段忠贞的爱恋,一份执着的守候与一个心酸的结局……
精彩对白:
Mariane Pearl: In his work, Danny struggled to keep free of dogma and alliance. He didn't represent a country or a ***, just the pursuit of truth. He was there to hold up a mirror and force people to look at themselves. What better way is there to respect humanity?
玛琳娜·珀尔:丹尼一直在努力地维持信仰和国际友好盟约的自由。他既不代表一个国家,也不是星条旗的象征,他所做的只是在追求真相而已。他在这里就好比是一面镜子,迫使人们从中看到真正的自己,如何做才是对人性更好的尊重呢?
