      troubles of life

      This is an exquisite warm film + legal film. Of course, this type of film needs well-filtered footage and moving music. Let the audience pour a bowl of chicken soup for the soul in a semi-hypnotic state.
      Robert Downey Jr. plays a lawyer who works hard in a big city, has a very successful career, is rich, and drives a Porsche. But his inner pain is the lack of family affection. Because of the death of his mother, he returned to his home town. The father is a judge who has served here for...

      I looked at him and saw you.

      Most of the plot is about father and son clashes. The indifference at first home, the gradual escalation of conflicts, the support in the bathroom, the argument about the father's murder case, the quarrel that broke out in the storm, and so on. When everything finally settled down, it was the last time of the father and son on the boat, which seemed extremely precious.
        At the beginning, the toilet talk and the opponent's suspicion of the authenticity of Hank's mother's death side...

      well known

      Sima Zhao's heart is well known, such a work that combines family relationship, court justice relationship and love ethics, it is almost a matter of raising his left fist and standing at the door of the Oscars to make a solemn oath. It's a pity that it only got one nomination for Best Supporting Actor, which is actually in line with what it shows. Just looking at this poster, it really makes people mistakenly think that this will be an "Eloquent Beauty" Iron Man version of "Legal High", but it...

      Love keeps us bound like this

      On a little special day like today, I took out the only movie I've seen recently, Father Judge. The biggest feeling is that it touched me more deeply than the first time.
          Family, affection and love are one of the eternal themes of the film. In real life, happy families seem to be carved out of a mold, but unhappy ones can become gossip that never stops on the streets. Just like every time when I feel helpless, I always say that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. I...

      The cuts of the mentally retarded younger brother and his ex-girlfriend are a solid and steady old-fashioned drama. As the producer, Radish is to blame if the final cut is his. The photography is not lost, and the soundtrack is occasionally bright. Needless to say, the old man's acting skills, what happened to the radish, there are a few very ordinary scenes that don't feel very distracting, and the courtroom scene is so...

      It is a very complete story, without the surging emotions of the past court movies, but with more warm character narratives and a different kind of life aftertaste. It's plain but not boring at all. There is no character in the plot itself that is particularly outstanding, but all the actors are conscientious and conscientious. The characters are distinct and appropriate, and it is worth watching...

    Movie quotes

    • C.P. Kennedy: Now, what exactly is our target juror?

      Judge Joseph Palmer: Intelligent people who will listen to instructions and follow the evidence.

      Hank Palmer: Crackpots. Those I can persuade to swallow their own tongue. Anyone who's seen a Sasquatch. Moon-landing deniers. Those are our people.

    • Hank Palmer: Grandpa Schneider is kind of, you know, nice and affable. He'd maybe take you for ice cream, maybe read to you. Grandpa Palmer doesn't wanna do any of that. If you ask him to read, he might throw the book at you.

    • Hank Palmer: Did you know 90% of the country believes in ghosts? less than a third in evolution? 35% can correctly identify Homer Simpson's fictional town in which he resides, less than 1% knows the name Thurgood Marshall. But... when you put 12 Americans together in a jury and you ask for justice? Something just South of brilliance happens. Often as not, they get it right.
