      civil rights epic

      Seven gentlemen in history

      "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" only brought me shock.

      Borrowing the past to satirize the present, the scale is the highest of Netflix.

      In the highly restored plot of the trial, the historical events are restored in the form of flashbacks, which excellently controls the rhythm of the...

      Incomplete ideological map

      From the beginning of the Vietnam War to the end of the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement was able to hold its position in the extreme frenzy. After being detonated, it still remembers the starting point of its quest, which is really worthy of being loaded into historical memory. "I've never been on trial for my thoughts before" hit the tears, and the hippie popcorn head poked at the soul of the Constitution with a cynical tone. The contrast made me feel even more...

      Trial of the Chicago Seven

      I thought it was a boring courtroom movie, but it was unexpectedly uplifting. Several old actors, such as defense lawyers, Dellinger, especially the judge, finished the little freckles and Joseph. Of course, the other defense lawyer is a bit handsome, and Sasha is also positive and harmonious, and loves him. The speech of black people about racial discrimination in prison is what I think is the most shining part of the whole show. Of course, the opening of the small freckles at...

      Change it to make a difference

      Aaron Sorkin wrote the script twelve years ago, the director and starring changed round after round, and the funding has not been received. After finally shooting it in person, but encountering the new crown, he had to sell it to Netflix. Fortunately, the word of mouth is not bad, and events such as black equality, demonstrations and riots in the past can be considered a resurgence this year.

      There are still a lot of changes to real events, in exchange for...

      You've been found guilty, you've been sentenced

      The film is based on a real civil rights struggle in American history

      The story takes place in the 1960s, when the United States was mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War. This unwinnable war, protracted for a long time, and the continuous promulgation of the troop increase plan, has stimulated domestic anti-war sentiment.

      So there were three groups of people urging people to stage a peaceful protest in Chicago during the...

      At first, I thought it was a film that exposed the darkness of the American judiciary. How could I know that the judicial system actually has an error correction mechanism, and the dignified president could not convict a few ordinary people. The importance of a just law is probably something most people only realize when they are...

      I thought the rhythm was handled just right, especially since it's a lot more mature than Sorkin's previous work. The script's harsh words lack a rosebud that surprises me, and I hope Finch can do it in...

      In fact, the director is better than the screenwriter, such as the opening. The whole film relies on the judge's villain halo to support the plot tension, and avoids the nameless demonstrators such as the real detonating plot that triggered the confrontation in the crowd. If Alan Sorkin is not interested in the civil rights movement itself, then he How does it show the connection between the judicial system and ideology and the tyranny of power? The attitude of the film is as frustrated as the...

      It's surprising how much has changed and how much hasn't... Think of "The Defender", but after all, Sorkinism, literary drama is more sharp, and the drama of the real situation is even more dramatic than reading...

    Movie plot

    In 1968, when the U.S. Democratic Party held the 35th Democratic National Congress in Chicago, anti-Vietnam War organizations applied for a peaceful protest rally. After their application was rejected, anti-war activists still held a protest on the day of the meeting. During the protest, they clashed with the police on a large scale, and 8 people were arrested. Among them, Bobby Sill ( Yahya Abdul-Medin II ) , the founder of the black...
