      Rare justice, rare verdict.

      The rhythm, tension, and dialogue of the film are all in place. Of course it's just a fake documentary. But it contains both the art of film over life and the factual basis. In the end, the ending without an ending can give people a deeper level of thinking.

      Perhaps it can only be said that the country is different and the national conditions are different, but fairness and justice are always in everyone's heart. It's just a matter of how people look at things. What do you want to get...

      The law does not represent the truth

      Seven points. Although it is based on real events, the angle of the story is still biased, and it is biased towards weak women. Although the results did not change after being exhausted, the impact on society is still positive, and I admire women who stand up bravely. Later, after watching "Night Paradise", I questioned the truth a little bit. The court's decision cannot present the truth. The most important thing is whether there is a good lawyer. In a lawsuit, you beat me, and I beat you....

      If there are no water droplets, where would the sea come from?

      I don't know why, after watching this movie, this sentence appeared in my mind. Without water, where is the ocean?
            Because of the allegations of sexual harassment before the nomination, the whole thing was dramatic. Such pivotal points are too important for Thomas. The justices of the United States are tenured, and that was almost the culmination of his career. And put aside those conspiracy theories, such as the heroine is the designated gunman of a political enemy, all stories are...

      The truth may not matter!

      The hearing seems to have ended without success, and the director did not clearly state the truth, but just like the explosion of the complaint telephone ringing at the end of "Focus", Professor Hill finally received a room full of letters as a silent warning! Whether the individual can really have a voice in a strong judicial system and social structure and make everyone agree with it, maybe no one is sure, anyway, as long as someone stands up, like Professor Hill, like "Suffragette" Like the...

      Hope in a Misogynistic Culture

      In 1991, President Bush appointed conservative African-American Judge Clarence Thomas as justice, but the Senate Judiciary Committee received evidence from University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill during a background check inquiry that Thomas had served as his judge a few years earlier. Sexual harassment during the superior period.

      At the appointment hearing, the Republican members of the Judiciary Committee were unfair, selectively listening to testimony, making reckless...

      HBO TV and movies have always had a high level of performance, sharp editing, and a steady documentary style. Just like "Death Doctor", they have an obvious tendency to the parties involved. Very emotional after watching it. No matter what the result is, the power of such words and the way to speak out are quite...

      Although the film maintained a fair attitude towards the image of Judge Thomas, the director did not hide his position and stood firmly on Dr. Hill's team. As for the politicians who acted as scumbags in the incident, the director did not hesitate to take the shots. The ugly faces of mercenaries are more disgusting than the sexual harassment...

      In the film, the director has an obvious subjective tendency towards Professor Hill, and Thomas finally passed the nomination. This became a big mockery of the director's political history in the United States. Seeing the people's chrysalis' support for Thomas at the beginning of the hearing, Rashomon was impressed. have no choice. If someone treats me like this, I will be very moved, but if I treat my opponent like this, I will feel very sad and tired of...

      The TV movie produced by HBO revealed a sexual assault case when Bush Sr. appointed a justice, which once caused a sensation. The woman who tried to resist gave up after days of live TV and heated debate. The truth has not yet been revealed. The film reflects how politicians block all kinds of unfavorable evidence, block all chances of overturning the case, and cover up the truth at all costs. The pseudo-documentary works well, and the connotation of the case is thought-provoking. 7.4...
