    3.5 The Ku Klux Klan battles nig*a, the court closing scene is very good. In general, it perfectly shows the four characteristics of Joe Schumacher's movies: 1. Crime/thriller/gimmick topics; 2. Like to invite big stars; 3. R-rated; 4. Always bad...

    Sandra Bullock doesn't have much of a role, but it's really brilliant. However, I cannot accept the result of this trial, or rather the attitude of this defense and transmission. Isn't such a story ending a complete failure of the jury...

    He's not alone, he's a black man, hehe. It's true that we can't avoid being dominated by stereotypes, and I've never been in love with black people myself. It is worth watching, especially the speech in the courtroom behind. Just try to imagine that this is a white...

    In fact, it feels worth only three stars, but considering the theme~ and the lineup + 1 star and it is very scary that there will be a large number of 3K party public activities in Mississippi in 1996~ (There is a line in the dialogue that the doctor testified in 1985, In the next 11 years, the film was set in 1996~) When Sister Sang was kidnapped, her heart was...

    Think about the Suyuan we have seen, we know how angry and painful it is to be a father! Is it guilty for Uncle Black to punish the villain himself? It must be guilty, but at that time, white people often did not get legal punishment for their atrocities against black people. So how could black people not take up arms to...

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.
