    The plot is far-fetched, the court play is too...

    A very inspiring film for beginners in law, the law has to have a human temperature, and this sentence, although it has been said badly, sums up the story of this...

    It's not as good-looking as summarized in "Story"... The judge is played by "Men in Black". Ha ha. A clip that travels while telling the planned...

    Rainmaker, dry land makes rain. A lawyer, in his career, inevitably encounters times when boundaries are crossed. The more you cross the border, the blurrier or even the line disappears. At this time, he is no longer him, but has become another lawyer's joke, a corrosive worm in a decaying environment. Very uplifting film. Makes people feel the beauty of conscience and...

    The court drama I am most convinced of is Lumet. Coppola has added a lot of life scenes in it, but it has a unique...

    I gave one more star because of the young versions of various familiar faces~ It is estimated that it was too early. In terms of the plot, especially the courtroom battle, the judge's weight is like soy sauce~ Julie's father's performance is too revolutionary , the performances of the characters are mostly...

    Every lawyer at least once in every case, feels himself crossing the line he doesn't really mean to cross it just happens. And if you cross it enough time, it disappears forever. And then you are nothing but then a lawyer joke. Just another shark in the dirty...

    There is a profound analysis of topics such as the boundaries of the law and the professional ethics of...

    It's a fairly decent courtroom movie, and the first case was a big win, putting the insurance company out of business. Then I retired, I didn't want to work for too long, the lawyer turned bad, and I lived well with my...

    2016.04.22 A traditional film, perfectly balanced in every way. The courtroom scene is very exciting. The lawyers of both parties, the witnesses in court, and the parents of the sick child who are the plaintiffs performed well. Alas, even a small character like the father of a sick child who doesn't have a few lines can make people cry.

    A little thought about the law derived from movies

    As a law student, after watching this film, while I feel that justice finally defeats evil, I also reflect on how to treat the law as a possible legal person in the future! We always know that the law is the embodiment of justice. Except for the downright evil law, no one will overly doubt the...

    It's hard to be a good person, it's hard to get

    As a newly-baked lawyer rudy, the name is as friendly as his work ethic. Seeing his youthful appearance in court,
    1. During the trial, he was still looking over the evidence law and looking for cases
    . 2. He was sleeping on the bench at the door of the court and waiting for the jury's verdict.
    3....

The Rainmaker quotes

  • Deck Shiffler: In law school, they don't teach you what ya need to know. It's all theories and lofty notions and big fat text books.

    Rudy Baylor: What's wrong with that?

    Deck Shiffler: Nothing, I guess.

  • Judge Kipler: Mr. Drummond... you objected to the fast-tracking of this case. What's the problem?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well, your honor... this issue's already been ruled upon by Judge Hale. The preparations required by fast-tracking the case place undue burden upon both parties, I believe.

    Judge Kipler: [scribbling on a notepad and not looking up] Nonsense.

    [stands up]

    Judge Kipler: Let me ask you something, Mr. Drummond. As a defense lawyer, have your EVER agreed to the fast-tracking of a lawsuit?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well your honor, I believe I have.

    Judge Kipler: [begins to laugh as he sits back down] Fine. Give me the name of the case and the court it was in.

    Leo F. Drummond: [laughs nervously] Well, your honor... I have to get back to you on that.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me this afternoon by three.

    Leo F. Drummond: I don't believe I'm going to be in before three.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me when you get in. I'm very interested in hearing about this case you agreed to fast-track.

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes sir.

    Judge Kipler: This boy's about to die, gentlemen. You do agree that we need to record his testimony?

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes indeed... of course, your honor. It's just that my trial calendar is pushin' me around pretty good.

    Judge Kipler: How about next Thursday afternoon?

    Rudy Baylor: Great for me, your honor.

    Leo F. Drummond: I'm sorry, your honor.

    Judge Kipler: That's a week from today.

    Leo F. Drummond: I believe I'm out of town.

    [beat]

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes, I am out of town Thursday.

    Judge Kipler: The deposition is set for next Thursday afternoon at 2pm.

    [smiles]

    Judge Kipler: Sorry if it inconveniences the defense, but God knows there's enough of you guys to handle it.

    [Rudy smiles]
