Paper Chase, don’t just chase a piece of paper
A true record of Harvard Law School students. A group of pretentious law students cooperate and compete in this higher education institution where everyone is equally good. In the end, it was just for the pursuit of that piece of paper. First of all, it is affirmed that this film encourages law students to think independently and strive for upstream ideas through hard work. In the three-tiered kingsfield classroom, some people brush their faces and answer questions to train their thinking,...

The excellence of Harvard students is universally recognized, and the gathering of elites at Harvard Law School is a well-known fact. Of course, this is based on almost terrifying efforts. Due to the special features of Socrates' teaching method, students have to read and master theories and case facts in a massive amount of class, and analyze and analyze them as deeply as possible. If you are negligent and encounter a professor of the order of Kingsfield in contract law in the film, the result...

Prof. Kingsfield's teaching style is high-pitched, and the Socratic questioning is inspiring. Difficulties force promotion and see growth amidst difficulties are the eternal truth.
"Learning the law is your own business, and I am responsible for teaching you legal thinking."
"When you enrolled, your heads were slurried, and when you leave, you will think like lawyers."
Although I may not get the...

Paper refers to people who are interested and ambitious in social competition. According to traditional recognition, they can obtain the qualifications of the elite label/high income/great future. But it is only a qualification, a possibility of the quality of life, and it does not mean that it can cover all aspects of life. For example, if Kelvin, who has failed in this competition, can give up the competition and change his life, it may not be impossible to obtain the happiness and...

Socratic experience in asking questions
I wonder if I had watched this movie when I was a freshman, would I be a different kind of person now, or would my life be different from now? This film tells the story of Hart, a freshman at Harvard, under the guidance of Professor Kingsfield's Socratic teaching method, and his continuous growth and exploration, becoming a person who is good at analyzing problems and able to think independently. Hart, who has mastered the Socratic questioning experience, has not only mastered the method of...

2021.8.22 Rewatch. When I entered the door, my brain was a mess, and when I went out, I thought like a lawyer. Thumbs up! American counterparts are really not covered.

I like it a lot. Do u want ur life, or do u want success? It's a thing to think about. However, it's a little unrealistic at the end. Btw the professor is awful- he does not know care about his students at all- not knowing their faces and names. I was thinking I would love...

In the ibs class, I found that our teacher and this professor look quite alike. He must be trying to give us a slap in the face in the first class: In the future, if you talk or not in class, you will...

Very realistic, but also quite dull. This film proves that law school is a nightmare and...

After a little bit of experience with case teaching, I still don't understand. Seeing that teachers force students to prepare very hard, is this a way to force students to study...
Susan Fields: I know there's a lot of things to say, but it really isn't worth saying them, so please just get out.
Charles W. Kingsfield Jr.: You teach yourselves the law, but I train your minds. You come in here with a skull full of mush; you leave thinking like a lawyer.
Charles W. Kingsfield Jr.: Mr. Hart, here is a dime. Take it, call your mother, and tell her there is serious doubt about you ever becoming a lawyer.
James T. Hart: [pause, as he is leaving the room] You... are a son of a bitch, Kingsfield!
Charles W. Kingsfield Jr.: Mr. Hart! That is the most intelligent thing you've said today. You may take your seat.
