    Well-established narrative, the story is a good story. Coppola likes to make educational films. In order to change the world, you often need to learn the rules of the game and stick to the bottom line. // Damon and Claire in 1997 are really tender, I still can't believe that Claire actually played Romeo and Juliet and the journey of autism. How does the hospitalized look in the film look like Lee Taemin's women's clothing photos → → subcutaneous already Incoherent.

    Like other lawyer films, the most exciting part of this film is the court battle, but the handling of "both losers" in the ending part makes this film a little "fresh" in the same type of film.

The Rainmaker quotes

  • Deck Shiffler: [after waking Rudy with a before-sunrise phone call] Guess who died last night?

    Rudy Baylor: Who? Do you ever sleep?

    Deck Shiffler: Harvey Hale! Age 62, quite a pedigree.

    Rudy Baylor: Judge Hale?

    Deck Shiffler: Yep. Croaked with a heart attack, dropped dead by his swimming pool.

    Rudy Baylor: You gotta be kidding me!

    Deck Shiffler: Guess which newly-made judge was assigned to Great Benefit's case?

    Rudy Baylor: How the hell am I supposed to know that, Deck?

    Deck Shiffler: Tyrone Kipler. Black, Harvard, civil-rights lawyer. Hates Tinley Britt, and he's tough on insurance companies. You know what a Rainmaker is, kid? The bucks are gonna be falling from the sky.

    Rudy Baylor: My father hated lawyers all his life. He wasn't a great guy, my old man. He drank and beat up my mother; he beat me up too. So you might think I became a lawyer just to piss him off. But you'd be wrong. I wanted to be a lawyer ever since I read about the Civil Rights lawyers in the 50s and 60s, and the amazing uses they found for the law. They did what a lot of people thought was the impossible. They gave lawyers a good name. And so I went to law school. And it did piss my father off - he was pissed off anyway.
