    Sorkin's textbook-level performance, although the amount of information at the beginning is too full, and the scheduling skills are slightly monotonous, but the narrative method of the pro-democracy movement brought out by the flashback of the public trial is Sorkin's forte. How the angry pro-democracy movement turned violent, and how the public power used power to suppress dissent to force the other side to use violence, was also explained in a popular and easy-to-understand format in 2 hours....

    Three and a half. The social movement film of "choosing the head and the tail" fully relies on court (text) drama to effectively promote strengths and avoid weaknesses to some extent. In other films of the same type, it will definitely be written down by the protest march scene. With interspersed and supplementary embellishments, the arrangement of several court trials, the occasional citation of scriptures, and the irony in the lines will not make people doubt Sorkin's script skills at all....

    It not only caters to current events, but is also the most intense court battle between the left and the right. Alan Sorkin's second feature film, the script maintains a consistent level. In the current situation, the script is even a bit too sharp. The Chicago Civil Rights in the late 1960s in the United States The movement is packaged into one courtroom drama after another. I must first admit that Judge Hoffman in the film is the judge with the lowest EQ I have ever seen in so many courtroom...

    80/100. Throughout the entire movie, I was debating whether to give it three stars or four stars. There is no doubt about Alan Sorkin's control over the entire movie. Whether it is the battle of words in court or the various analyses under the court, people have a deep understanding of the unknown in that period of American history. The truth gives people an extremely immersive sense of experience; but there are too many private goods in it, whether it is the violent addition of the eighth...

    Four and a half stars, I cried, thinking of a lot of things, speechless, speechless. I don't want to talk about film techniques, directing techniques, whether the text overshadows the audio-visual, because it doesn't make sense. "—Do you despise your government?" "—My contempt is nothing compared to the government's contempt for me." Goosebumps...

    ——?94%?️89%——("On: The Importance of Grammar") The editing is sharp (but there is one thing that disrupts the story line. However, the publicity and the court session will create the illusion of going to Chicago for trial. The actual situation is that after the protest arrested, accused). The concentrated group portraits are actually only three and a half online, and there is no substantive content. The final summary statement is adrenaline, which is instantly high. The general election is just...

    85/100, from the beginning to the title, a fascinating skill, and then dived into the desired slogan in a densely oppressive posture. The camera may be convergent, and the editing must be sharp. We have never needed it so much. When we are in the world of this era, this will become a kind of power: The Whole World is Watching USA,Thai and...

    After taking over the baton of "Black Party" and "Mrs. America", Hollywood once again photographed the most vigorous, powerful and angry epic of the civil rights movement. Alan Sorkin’s pinnacle screenwriting art and amazing scene management ability present all the contradictions and conspiracies in the courtroom. Flashback shows the protest scene during the Democratic Party Congress in Chicago. The two protesters have physical conflicts with the police. The climax passage is the existence that...
