      A foolish man will be the servant of a wise man

      "Mr. Brady, it's the newspaper industry's job to comfort the victims. Torture the comfortable ones." "Mr. Drummond, we assure you that we disagree with you, and we still have the utmost respect for your right to be expressed. "Language itself is a lousy means of communication, so I think we should say whatever we want. There are a few other words, but everyone will understand!" "You have learned something, right? Cortez, these hallucinations are what make heroes." "Okay, let's...

      Look at it now and people in the future will look at us, what kind of wind do you mean?

      Everything is a routine, but why is it still unfinished? Although it is a year of the wind that is about to enter the VR era (at least the general public recognition in 2016), you can spend 2 hours watching the old-fashioned Hollywood model of black and white movies, reading a story and substituting a piece of history, enriching individual experience, and finally satisfying The thirst for knowledge is the goal.
      Nowadays, the old Hollywood model, dramatic freeze-frame performance,...

      [Last Film I Watched] Inherit the Wind (1960) 7.7/10

      A souped-up Hollywood adaptation of the historical Scopes “Monkey” Trial in 1925: a high school science teacher is tried for teaching Darwin's theory of the evolution to his students on account of the violation of a Tennessee's state law. Under the able hands of Stanley Kramer, INHERIT THE WIND sets two Hollywood titans (Mr. Tracy and Mr. March, both two-times Oscar recipients) against each...

      Fear in the Wind (Criticism of Context)

      Throughout history, humans have undergone a constant evolutionary process in regards to ways in which we view the world. The play Inherit The Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee conveys how modern ideologies experience turbulence when first presented. Often times the past has revealed that humans are inherently skeptical and resistant to progressive ideas. The 1950's, in which the play was written, sets a tone that illustrates how ignorance, loss of power, and fear of uncertainty...

      Declaring war like evil law-Darwin and God must not be partial

      Today you can forbid not to say, tomorrow you can draw a certain sentence from the Bible, and then you will come to build your own church, which will soon evolve to that era, when you hold a torch and burn infidels.

      In the real "monkey trial," the cause of the case was that the National Civil Liberties Union recruited a Tennessee biology teacher to "try the law by his own destiny" in order to challenge Tennessee's law prohibiting the teaching of "evolution" in the classroom, hoping to...

      A courtroom drama as classic as "34th Street". Faith and reason challenge each other, and the thing that strikes against scientific progress will happen in the advanced United States at that time. Respect and rights are the most important...

      The courtroom drama is wonderful. I found this movie to watch when I was studying monkey trail. Religion is really incomprehensible, the water is too deep, fanatic ideas are too terrifying, and brainwashing is terrifying. Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the...

      1. Don't such a well-known lawyer bring a bodyguard, and are not afraid of being killed by fanatics; 2. March's performance has a strong theatrical flavor, but he is indeed a good actor; 3. There are still so many cases nearly a hundred years ago People only believe in God. There are still quite a few ignorant people in the United States, and they can still be as high as they are today. If there were many atheists like China, the level of development would be more than this, and it would be...

      bravo! This is the first time I watched a movie with such a dense collection of golden sentences. Every sentence is a golden sentence. Every dialogue can be used as the front of the movie and the marketing account will send long...

    Behind the scenes gags

    When director Stanley Kramer gave Gene Kelly the role of E.K. Hernbeck , Kelly initially refused. After Kramer told him that his partners were Fredric March and Spencer Tracy, Kelly changed his mind. In fact, Kramer had not invited March and Qusser to join   .
    Gene Kelly's character needs to be young and cynical in the film, but Kelly was 47 years old at the time   .
    Roderick Andrew Anthony Jude McDowall and Tony are competitors in...

    Movie quotes

    • Matthew Harrison Brady: The Bible satisfies me. It is enough.

      Henry Drummond: It frightens me to think of the state of learning in the world if everybody had your driving curiosity.

    • Matthew Harrison Brady: A fine biblical scholar, Bishop Usher, has determined for us the exact date and hour of the Creation. It occurred in the year 4004 B.C.

      Henry Drummond: Well, that's Bishop Usher's opinion.

      Matthew Harrison Brady: It's not an opinion. It's a literal fact -- which the good Bishop arrived at through careful computation of the ages of the prophets, as set down in the Old Testament. In fact, he determined that the Lord began the Creation on the 23rd of October, 4004 B.C. at, uh, 9:00 AM.

      Henry Drummond: That Eastern Standard Time? Or Rocky Mountain Time? It wasn't Daylight Saving Time, was it? Because the Lord didn't make the sun until the fourth day.

    • Henry Drummond: [Brady is testifying about the first day of creation] That first day, what do you think, it was 24 hours long?

      Matthew Harrison Brady: The Bible says it was a day.

      Henry Drummond: Well, there was no sun out. How do you know how long it was?

      Matthew Harrison Brady: The Bible says it was a day!

      Henry Drummond: Well, was it a normal day, a literal day, 24 hour day?

      Matthew Harrison Brady: I don't know.

      Henry Drummond: What do you think?

      Matthew Harrison Brady: I do not think about things that I do not think about.

      Henry Drummond: Do you ever think about things that you do thing about? Isn't it possible that it could have been 25 hours? There's no way to measure it; no way to tell. Could it have been 25 hours?

      Matthew Harrison Brady: It's possible.

      Henry Drummond: Then you interpret that the first day as recorded in the Book of Genesis could've been a day of indeterminate length.

      Matthew Harrison Brady: I mean to state that it is not necessarily a 24 hour day.

      Henry Drummond: It could've been 30 hours, could've been a week, could've been a month, could've been a year, could've been a hundred years, or it could've been 10 million years!
