      Movies may be boring and even difficult for laymen to understand. I also feel it vaguely by the plot.

      First, the story points directly to legal issues in the United States. It looks like there is a legal responsibility for everything, as long as you can afford a lawyer. The question is what does a lawyer do? What does the judge do? Everyone is for efficiency. For example, the so-called successful lawyers actually lied to their...

      Idealism and Realism

      Now start to learn to watch movies and read stories.
            Roman is a genius with extraordinary memory. He and his companions stick to his beliefs, but after the death of his only partner, he is knocked down by the familiar, clichéd, and effective real life, and is constantly impacted by reality. He violated his beliefs that he had kept for many years and lived a good life. (I have to say that others have the ability to make money casually, but he is willing or not.--), and then he wakes...

      Mr. Roman is actually right

      Roman's insistence on the title is his insistence on the sanctity of the law. Before the death of his partner, his ideal should be to study the law all his life, improve the law, and then change society and make mankind better. He has a kind of narcissism and conceit, and he holds the world on his shoulders.
        Regarding money, Mr. Roman never said that he pretended to be noble and said that he did not need money, his partner fell ill, and the law firm was looking for a new way out. The...

      What idealists need are allies

      When I was about to choose a new direction, I saw "Mr. Roman, Hello", which seemed to be a dialogue with myself. Which way to go?

      Roman J. Israel is played by Denzel Washington, who is said to exist as a black prince. Needless to say, his acting skills are matched by Colin Farrell, who plays George Pierce, which inspires me even more.

      Similar to the real world, most people numbly adapt to the environmental system from the inside out, and then follow the rules and procedures,...

      Everyone has ideals, big or small. From this point of view, everyone is an idealist. The difference is how much is left in the process of survival. The film portrays a black lawyer who is paranoid about his ideals, but when he decides to compromise with his survival and approach life, he never thought that he would lose himself. The most touching part of the film is that the core characters are small and ordinary, but at the end they elevate the soul-stirring style of a great...

      The first two thirds are actually pretty good, and the last third is too dramatic for granted and not very creative. Of course, it is also a reappearance of the director's previous film, which is a little more preachy in comparison, without the power to devour people. His exploration of moral issues could have been more...

      I don't understand what this 2-hour movie is trying to express, is the change of the little people, and finally swallowed by society and material?...

    Movie plot

    The story tells the story of a Los Angeles lawyer ( Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. ) 's long-term partner after he passed away. He took over a new case himself, but his life trajectory has also changed drastically   .
    His home and office looked chaotic, just like him, but Roman was extremely systematic when preparing the case. This makes his boss shine in court, but he himself stands firmly behind the scenes as he wishes. He is not very...
