"The Devil and Daniel Webster" is everything a movie viewer could ask for.. It's fantasy, surrealistic, and dramatic, without any CGI, and if you were to look at the entire movie with no audio, it would seem real.
It speaks to the nature of humanity, without speeches, but with concise writing... More relevant today than ever. That a person's soul is worth more than anything, and that money and power corrupts. Morality isn't decadent, it's only considered that by those who don't want to seek a higher standard, but unfortunately used by religious folks to justify their bad behavior - "I said 20 hail marys, what else do you want from me?"
