So it seems that the only option left is The Lincoln Lawyer. When I was choosing a film, I couldn’t bear to watch the film. Originally, it was just an ordinary legal drama + suspense drama. Under the banner of an adaptation of a best-selling book, it can also attract a lot of followers of popular books to the theater. Of course this is the case in the US. In my grand dynasty, it is usually only after the film "wins an award" that there is such a strong trend of following the original work, not to mention this kind of low-cost film that is released after a year and a half and has no obvious obstacles to passing the trial. There are three small shows a day and the subtext in front of the show schedule of "Hedong Lion Roar 2" is the kind of "ignore it, ignore it". Then just take a look.
Right after the commercials, the producer and the distributor's logo, the film immediately caught my attention. After the words "The Lincoln Lawyer" appeared, the combination of large and small shots kept switching to appear. The creativity of the Lincoln car logo and Bobby "Blue" Bland's most classic track, Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City, immediately blinded my dog's eyes. And dog ears, the "Blues Lion" who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and is still alive. Although he does not have the super high playing skills as BB King, the charm of black blues and soul music is like this. In front of him, I completely lost resistance. force. What's more curious is that a movie about a white lawyer actually uses this kind of music in the title, so I'm curious enough about the soundtrack and the content of the movie.
The meaning and value of the film itself is not what this article intends to express. It can be said that in a two-hour movie of this level, even a TV screen can do it. The advantage of putting it in theaters is that you can watch Matthew McConaughey in two hours with the curtain and sound. In the show, the "familiar faces of American dramas" that appeared several times in the play can only be used as a trick at best. So much so that when the hero was shot by the villain's mother at the end, and when the theater scene gasped and exclaimed, I secretly laughed that it was impossible for a female character who had been raped to be "successful". With such a heavy hand, and the body language when raising the gun is obviously "holding the gun", it is already hinting, don't worry, he can't die. This is Matthew McConaughey's solo show.
In the process, it will make people think of Harvey's smirking face in the rotten USA drama Suits several times. He has many similarities with Lincoln Lawyer, but Matthew McConaughey is also more introverted. As for the frequent black cannons (HIP-HOP) in the film and the judge's sentence "These are all black cases in front of the film" (the big-name lawyers who are familiar with the judge often use the relationship to advance the trial of their own case is a common thing ) and the protagonist taking care of his cute driver, Xiao Hei Hei, and his signboard is also named after Lincoln. Whether these are coincidences or the director's intention is unknown. The picture of the speeding Lincoln car played the classic California Soul from Motown, which moved me again. Unfortunately, although I heard Marlena Shaw this time, I didn't have the legendary Marvin Gaye who sang with it.
That sentence is quite right. A movie based on the original book should be guaranteed in terms of the enrichment of the plot. I'm glad that Michael Connelly, in the adaptation of his own script, has largely removed the sensitivities, skills, and psychological tactics that describe the profession of lawyers themselves, and it shows very little. What he wants more is that sometimes, it should be necessary to play dirty.
