"The Judgment" movie script
(Camera record book)
Screenwriter/David Mammett
Compiler/Sun Jianqiu, Jia Jian
Boston Early Spring
Billy Molise’s bar, as in the past, gathered some sloppy car drivers and construction workers. In front of the pinball machine upstairs in the bar, a middle-aged man is drinking and playing on the pinball machine. He is Frank Galvin who has never won a lawsuit since he became a lawyer.

The spiritual city-state of the legal man
"The Ruling" starring Paul Newman can be said to be a true record of the operation of the American lawyer system. The film also allows us to see the image of a lawyer who faces a powerful enemy and goes all out to protect the interests of the client in the skilled judicial operation of the West. Of course, this lawyer named Frank is not the kind of elite American lawyer in our traditional impression who conducts "public interest litigation" from the weak to the strong, regardless of personal...

But if the script is a paradigm of Aristotelian structure, it is its adroit courtroom give-and-take that bespeaks a ruthlessness that would have been more recognizable on a battlefield. No other courtroom drama in memory is as ruthless in its examination of that much -honored profession, sparing no one, not even Frank Galvin, in its revelation that the client is seen too often as an irrelevant blip on an agenda filled with ego and avarice. When Galvin turns down an opportunity to settle the...

Procedural justice and apparent justice
The ending is harmonious, to win for victory.
From the point of view of the film alone, of course we will easily accept the final verdict, but what if we stand from the point of view of the jury?
I just watched the American crime story before. Regarding the Simpson case, a juror said this (to the effect), "You may believe that Simpson did it. Fuck, I may believe it too, but you can say that the prosecutor did prove him." Are you guilty? '
This involves the positioning of the...

Recollection of the past and expectation of the future-recommended movie "The Grand Trial"
(Do not enter if you are unfamiliar. I don't want to touch myself or make others sick.) After the
college entrance examination, I want to apply for language, but the language major of science students is limited. Dad wants me to study finance, but my score is low. My mother wants me to study the Fa, but I don't want to be arranged by her. After much deliberation, I finally decided to study the Fa. Before clicking the "Law" code on the Internet, I called many teachers. The head...

Four point five stars. More convincing, less dramatic, and more frustrating for the prosecution's lawyers than the Peachy Bloody Case. In the end, the nurse witness appeared. Although the procedure was not impeccable, the dereliction of duty of the attending physician was clearly evident in the nurse's testimony. Finally, the jury was persuaded. Rampling is so...

Paul Newman has no doubt delivered an excellent performance, but Lumet handles the film too slowly. It's a model of a three-act play, and an anti-climax play, where victory isn't trumpeted, and the winner isn't compensated (mentally). The artist deliberately created an outdated and decadent world. The picture is full of lines, and the characters seem to be unable to escape from an ancient prison, which greatly helps to reveal the...

A different lawyer film, different in every aspect, even if the events fit with the self-salvation of the protagonist, this film does not have any redemptive joy and excitement. Just like the gray-haired lawyers, their voices are hoarse and low, and they talk like they can't breathe. The dark and heavy space, the empty and cold hall with the clack of leather shoes, this is a lawyer film that wants to be different from all previous lawyer films. , highs and lows are mixed together. The...
Kaitlin: [testifying why she kept a copy of the admittance form] After the operation, when that poor girl she went into a coma, Dr. Towler called me in. He told me that he'd had five difficult deliveries in a row and he was tired... and he never looked at the admittance form. And he told me to change the form. He told me to change the '1' to a '9'... or else... or else he said, he said he'd fire me. He said I'd never work again. Who were these men? Who were these men? I wanted to be a nurse!
Ed Concannon: I know how you feel. You don't believe me, but I do know. I'm going to tell you something that I learned when I was your age. I'd prepared a case and old man White said to me, "How did you do?" And, uh, I said, "Did my best." And he said, "You're not paid to do your best. You're paid to win." And that's what pays for this office... pays for the pro bono work that we do for the poor... pays for the type of law that you want to practice... pays for my whiskey... pays for your clothes... pays for the leisure we have to sit back and discuss philosophy as we're doing tonight. We're paid to win the case. You finished your marriage. You wanted to come back and practice the law. You wanted to come back to the world. Welcome back.
[telling the joke to the others in the bar]
Frank Galvin: So Pat says, he says, "They got this new bar... and you go inside and for half a buck you get a beer, a free lunch and they take you in the back room - they get you laid... Mike says, "Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Do you mean to say there's a new bar and you go inside and for a half a buck they give you a beer, a free lunch and they take you in the back room and they get you laid?" Pat says, "That's right." "Have you ever been in the bar?" And he says, "No, but me sister has."
