      Let us revisit this movie when the mother-humiliation case is full of storms

      I believe everyone is familiar with the case in Shandong where the gangster was sentenced to life for stabbed to death because of his mother's humiliation. The current Chinese public opinion environment has triggered discussions on law and reason. And should the law be ruthless or humane? It is also an enduring controversial topic, but at this juncture, it reminds me of an American movie I watched a long time ago.

      Capitalism is where we have something to learn

      This is what Xu Jinjiang said in God of Gamblers. Legally, it does. A black father who avenged his daughter, did what a father should do. Killed 2 murderers of their own daughters. It smells like a western cowboy. But the law is the law after all, and the will of the person is the transfer. Such a scene can only appear in the movie, and it is absolutely impossible in reality.
          As far as the plot is concerned, it fully embodies a lawyer's skill in defense. The female assistant's...

      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...

    Movie quotes

    • Freddie Lee Cobb: You can't blame a nigger for being a nigger, no more than you can blame a dog for being a dog. But a whore like you, co-mingling with mongrels, betraying your own. That makes you worse than a nigger. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll leave you tied up here naked. First, it'll just be bugs eating at ya. One day, maybe two. That sun's gonna be cooking you. And animals... they're gonna pick on your stink. They'll come looking for something to eat.

      Ellen Roark: Carl Lee Hailey should've shot you too.

      Freddie Lee Cobb: Ten years ago, that n*gger'd be hanging by the end of a rope with his balls in his mouth. Now you tell me what's wrong with this country.

      Winston: Klan would know what to do.

      Freddie Lee Cobb: My granddaddy, he was Klan.

      Tim Nunley: Ain't been no Klan around here for years.

      Winston: Ah they's still some boys around.

      Tim Nunley: What you mean them skinheads that want to blow up the government?

      Winston: No sir, good god-fearing Klan... I got a friend, used to be active, could give him a call.

      Freddie Lee Cobb: You do that Winston. You tell them boys we need some Klan down here in Canton. And I mean right quick.
