The Devil has been playing with our minds for centuries. No matter what you call him, The Prince of Darkness, Lucifer, Old Scratch, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles…The Devil has been deeply rooted in our psyches since childhood. Modern conceptions of the Devil include the concept that it symbolizes humans’ own lower nature or sinfulness. From Dante’s Inferno to Goethe’s Faust, the Devil is a firm character in the literature, religion and culture in almost every society on Earth. He spans every genre, comedy, satire, and drama and is a great foil for any hero or anti hero. Now in the age of visual media, the Devil still hasn’t lost his charm. Here is a list of the Top 10 depictions of the Devil in Television and the Movies. 10 .Elizabeth Hurley Bedazzled Silly movie, WONDERFUL devil! You’ve got to love female Satans. She offers Brendan Fraser’s character wishes so that he can land the girl of his dreams. But this is Satan we’re dealing with, she traps and tricks him as we would expect nothing less from the Prince, or Princess of lies. 9 .Alan Cumming God, The Devil and Bob Alan Cumming voiced The Devil in the short lived series “God, The Devil and Bob”. The Devil is trying to persuade God to destroy the world, and is constantly trying to thwart Bob in his attempts to save it. He is a margarita drinker and drives a purple Dodge Charger described by Bob as the “coolest car [he’s] ever seen”. Despite appearances, the Devil is needy and co-dependent, often reduced to tears when God ignores or forgets about him. 8 .Dan Castellaneta Futurama Dan Castellaneta voiced the horrifying Robot Devil in Futurama. The Robot Devil lives in Robot Hell, which is hidden beneath the “Inferno” ride at the amusement park “Reckless Ted’s Funland” in New Jersey. His function is to torment robots who have committed various sins, though it seems that this right only applies to those who practice Robotology. 7 .Trey Parker South Park Trey Parker voices one of the most misunderstood Satans in popular culture. He presides over Hell and is constantly at war with God, but far from being merciless and innately evil as Satan is often portrayed in other media, he is depicted in South Park as a soft-hearted, misunderstood anti-hero capable of compassion and genuine emotional attachment. 6 .Viggo Mortensen The Prophecy CREEPY! Before he was snogging Liv Tyler in Lord of the Rings, Viggo played a very awesome Lucifer in The Prophecy. Mortensen’s Satan is savage, and just plain vicious. Take this quote “Humans… and how I love you talking monkeys for this… know more about war and treachery of the spirit than any angel.” Well worth the rental. 5 .Tim Curry Legend Every 80’s child remembers being freaked and enchanted by Tim’s awesome Devil. Visually stunning and far before it’s time, The Lord of Darkness stole every scene he was in. Tim’s presence and voice make for an unforgettable devil that all Gen X and Yers will remember well into their old age. 4 .Peter Stormare Constantine Swedish actor Peter Stormare’s Devil is perfect, dressed in white and virtually dripping with evil. So angered that Constantine is about to slip through his fingers, he pulls Constantine’s cancer from his lungs, forcing him to live his lonely life rather than be taken into heaven. Truly a Satan for the ages. 3 .Al Pacino The Devil’s Advocate This Satan was not your usual scaly demon. He was rich, calm, suave and greedy with a lusty charm that Satan always brings to movies. Kevin Lomax, played by a more wooden than usual Keanu Reeves, takes a job at a powerful law firm where his boss, John Milton (get it?) is really the devil. Pacino was the perfect choice for playing this character. 2.Harvey Stephens The Omen There can be no doubt that young Harvey Stephen’s portrayal of Satan as a child is one of the most chilling around. He doesn’t have to do much - just look on as things go to “hell” around him. The most disturbing scene in this movie is when the Nurse jumps hangs herself declaring “this is all for you Damien!” The follow up movie was also quite good but lacked some of the chilling atmosphere of this original. 1 .Rosalinda Celentano The Passion of the Christ Love or hate this movie, you’ve got to admit that Rosalinda’s androgynous Satan was among the creepiest. She taunts and follows Jesus like a snake. I loved her depiction because it is unlike any other I had ever seen. Instead of being an anti-Christ, the devil is depicted here as a perversion of the Holy Family - with Satan mimicking Mary and carrying a foul child in mockery of the baby Jesus. Extremely scary stuff. | 魔鬼玩弄我们的思想已经有好几个世纪了，黑暗王子，恶魔，老恶棍，别卜西，梅菲斯特，无论你如何叫它，魔鬼从我们孩提时代就已经在我们的神经中根深蒂固。现代的魔鬼的概念包括它象征着人类自身的低级状态或罪恶感这样一层含义。从但丁的地狱到歌德的浮士德，魔鬼几乎在世界上的每一个社会中的文学，宗教和文化里表现为一个稳固的形象。 他跨越各种体裁，喜剧，讽刺剧和戏剧并且是任何英雄或平凡主角的伟大村托。现在，在视觉媒体的时代，魔鬼仍然没有失去他魅力。下面的名单就是电视剧和电影中10种魔鬼描述的排行榜。 10.伊丽莎白.赫利 神鬼愿望 愚蠢的电影，令人惊奇的魔鬼！你一定会喜欢女魔鬼。她给布兰登.弗雷泽的角色一些愿望使得他可以得到梦想中的女孩。但是我们是在和魔鬼打交道，正如我们所料她对他施像王子或公主类的谎言一样的诡计。 9.艾伦.卡明 上帝，魔鬼和鲍勃 艾伦.卡明为这个昙花一现的系列片“上帝，魔鬼和鲍勃”中的魔鬼配音。魔鬼试图说服上帝毁灭世界，并且还试图阻止鲍勃拯救世界的努力。他喝玛格丽塔酒而且开一辆紫色的被鲍勃认为是“见过的最酷的”道奇跑车。尽管表现不凡，但魔鬼总是很穷困和依赖，并且常常当上帝忽略或忘记他时被迫哭起来 8.丹.卡斯泰兰尼塔 飞出个未来 丹.卡斯泰兰尼塔在飞出个未来中为可怕的机器人魔鬼配音。机器人魔鬼生活在掩藏于新泽西“莱克拉斯泰德乐园”的“地狱”之骑之下的机器人地狱。他的功能就是折磨犯了各种罪孽的机器人，尽管看起来这种权利只适用于那些从事机器人学的人。 7.催.帕克 南方公园 催.帕克为在平凡文化中最受误解的魔鬼中的一个配音。他统帅整个地狱并且持续不断地和上帝斗争，但是他在南方公园中被描述为一个温柔，被误解的具有同情心和真诚的爱慕之心的平凡主角，而不像其他媒体所经常描画的残忍无情，天生邪恶的恶魔形象。 6.维果.莫特森 魔翼杀手 阴险！在他于指环王中亲吻丽芙.泰勒之前，维果在魔翼杀手中饰演了一位令人敬畏的魔鬼。莫特森的魔鬼野蛮，并且明显的邪恶。引用这句话为证：“人类--我多么因此而喜欢你们这些会说话的猴子--比任何天使都更了解战争和阴谋诡计。” 5.蒂姆.克里 诡秘怪谈 每个80年代出生的小孩都记得被蒂姆的令人生畏的魔鬼所吸引和吓倒。凭借外观上的吸引和超前的时代特征，黑暗魔王抢夺了他在其中的每一个场景。蒂姆的表现和声音造就了一个令人难忘的恶魔以至于所有新一代的人到了他们的老年纪都会记得很清楚。 4. 彼得.斯特曼 地狱神探 瑞典演员彼得.斯特曼的魔鬼是完美的，穿着一身白衣并且流露出邪恶之气。他对康斯坦丁就要从自己的指间溜走是如此升起，以至于他将康斯坦丁的癌瘤从他的肺中拿走，强迫他孤独地活在人世而不是被带进天堂。真实一个经典的魔鬼。 3.阿尔.帕西诺 魔鬼代言人 这个魔鬼并不是你常见的吓人的魔鬼。他富有，冷静，温和，并且贪婪还带有电影中魔鬼惯有的魅力。由更呆头呆脑的基努.里维斯演的凯文.罗马科斯在一个强大的法律咨询公司供职，而他的老板约翰.米尔顿(明白了吗？)是一个真正的恶魔。帕西诺对于这个角色而言是完美的选择。 2. 哈威.斯蒂芬斯 天魔 年轻的哈威.斯蒂芬斯将魔鬼表现为一个小孩无疑是最令人毛骨悚然的。他不必去做很多--仅仅只是看着他周围的东西进“地狱”。影片中最惊心动魄的场景就是孩子的保姆上吊并大喊“这一切都是为了你，达米安！”接下来的翻拍电影也一样精彩但是缺少了原先的恐怖气氛。 1. 罗莎琳达.塞隆坦 耶稣受难记 无论是喜欢还是讨厌这部电影，你都不得不承认罗莎琳达.塞隆坦的雌雄同体的魔鬼是处于最阴险的行列之中的。她嘲弄耶稣并且像蛇一样跟随他。我喜欢她的演绎因为它和其他我见过的不一样。不像被描述为反基督分分子，魔鬼在此被描述为一个神圣家庭的保护者--魔鬼模仿圣母玛利亚抱着一个不洁的婴儿嘲笑婴儿耶稣。 非常恐怖。 |
