    Sometimes the boundaries of justice are really blurry, too difficult to grasp, not just about differences in race and color... The double standard of law and human nature itself is a problem... ps: Uncle Matthew's performance is still very good...

    They're all big names, Samuel L. Jackson, silly big sister Sandra Bullock, blonde beauty Ashley Judd, it looks like she married a race car driver and then got divorced. Western beauties like tough guys sweat and oil. man, right? Chinese beauties like little white faces and sissy girls. Eastern and Western tastes are very different. Kevin Spacey also starred in the villain, Sutherland is a familiar face, and the police until August met in...

    It's that simple? Intentional murder is acquitted! The most ridiculous thing is that the lawyer finally hypnotized the jury and changed the original verdict? ¿...

    The screenwriter's three views are so crooked that I want to beat him countless times, so I don't even bother to study "Why Lawyer Matthew is so handsome in "Killing Hour"!" Why does Joe Schumacher, a vulgar and unbearable fake director, always find a group of big names? It's a lifetime tragedy that Kiefer has become this guy's queen. This time, his father also admired his face, but he didn't have a rivalry. Bad...

    It's not necessary for two and a half hours~ It's not right for the male lead to kill someone directly~ It's just that in that special era and background, I think it's very...

    The cast lineup inside is so strong that almost everyone likes it. But I still have too many doubts about the film itself. Although I think the death of the two rapists is not a pity, is the film too detached from reality? Can someone be acquitted of murder? I don't know if the same is true for the end of the original case. Several court scenes are very exciting, but the issues of racial discrimination and social equality involved are not too deep to the point of hitting the soul, and it ends...

A Time to Kill quotes

  • Jake Tyler Brigance: [in his summation, talking about Tonya Hailey] I want to tell you a story. I'm going to ask you all to close your eyes while I tell you the story. I want you to listen to me. I want you to listen to yourselves. Go ahead. Close your eyes, please. This is a story about a little girl walking home from the grocery store one sunny afternoon. I want you to picture this little girl. Suddenly a truck races up. Two men jump out and grab her. They drag her into a nearby field and they tie her up and they rip her clothes from her body. Now they climb on. First one, then the other, raping her, shattering everything innocent and pure with a vicious thrust in a fog of drunken breath and sweat. And when they're done, after they've killed her tiny womb, murdered any chance for her to have children, to have life beyond her own, they decide to use her for target practice. They start throwing full beer cans at her. They throw them so hard that it tears the flesh all the way to her bones. Then they urinate on her. Now comes the hanging. They have a rope. They tie a noose. Imagine the noose going tight around her neck and with a sudden blinding jerk she's pulled into the air and her feet and legs go kicking. They don't find the ground. The hanging branch isn't strong enough. It snaps and she falls back to the earth. So they pick her up, throw her in the back of the truck and drive out to Foggy Creek Bridge. Pitch her over the edge. And she drops some thirty feet down to the creek bottom below. Can you see her? Her raped, beaten, broken body soaked in their urine, soaked in their semen, soaked in her blood, left to die. Can you see her? I want you to picture that little girl. Now imagine she's white.

  • Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney: [to Jake] Didn't you defend Billy Ray Cobb a few years back?

    Jake Tyler Brigance: What kind of case was it?

    Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney: Caught him selling dope. Spent time in Parchman. Got out last year.

    Jake Tyler Brigance: I think some Memphis lawyer handled that. Why do you ask?

    Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney: Well, we picked him up for rape. Him and Pete Willard.

    Jake Tyler Brigance: Who'd they rape?

    Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney: You know Carl Lee Hailey?

    Jake Tyler Brigance: Sure, I defended his brother Lester.

    Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney: It was his little girl.

    Jake Tyler Brigance: Little Tonya?

    [Deputy nods]

    Jake Tyler Brigance: How old's she?

    Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney: She's ten.
