One of the essence of American justice may be:
let most guilty people be punished; let some guilty people be punished lightly or simply get out of prison; let some innocent people be punished Or have to accept wrongful punishment.
Yes, it's not very fair, or someone shouts that, it's so unfair!
However, where is too much and too much fairness? Which people or groups can guarantee and maintain the so-called absolute justice for a long time?
This is one of the contingent essences of American justice!
Make punishment an adjustable process, although it affects the outcome or that fairness, it can at least be executed fairly!
This film, to complain about this, is also a visual description of fairness!
Some background depictions.
This film is adapted from the original horror master
Brad Foreman, this name is really unfamiliar to movie fans, take a closer look at his resume, only 4 years ago, an unsuccessful feature film "The Heist" (2007) barely mentioned. However, the "Lincoln Attorney" directed by him still wins the audience's eager anticipation, but the reason for this expectation is probably not due to him, nor to the actors who are not bad in the lineup, but also because the film is adapted from the famous American crime novel master Mike. Connery. Mike Connery's status in the field of thriller novels can be called "God-level". In 1992, he brilliantly portrayed Harry Bosch in his debut novel "Black Echo", which is a little rude and dark, but strong and brave. Connery won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for best debut novel for this work, and has since become a best-selling novelist in the United States. His novel "Bloody Puzzle" (2002) was once put on the screen by Clint Eastwood, but due to inappropriate adaptations and deletions of the novel, and even changing the ending of the original, the result was not well received at the box office, and the original novel was even worse. Readers scolded strongly. This time, the "Lincoln Lawyer" published in 2005 will be put on the screen, and it will be played by a little-known director.
However, perhaps it is because Brad Foreman has an emergency as the director of the film, which may allow him to put down his burden and prove himself in a more relaxed state of mind. What's more, in the screenwriting work of this film, with the personal participation of Mike Connery, the original flavor of the script is guaranteed to the greatest extent. For this film, Mike Connery, who has already enjoyed the unedited original film, has given his affirmation, "This film will be released on March 18, but more than ten days ago, I have watched an unedited film. After finishing the edited version, I feel like I couldn't be happier. I think this film is faithful to the original in terms of the story and the character of the protagonist Mick Haller. Matthew McConaughey played this role very well. People who like this novel, I believe will also like this movie, and those who haven't read the novel will definitely like the movie at the same time. The cast of the film and the final performance are great. Just like I Speaking of which, I can't be happier. I'm very excited, and I can't wait to see what book fans have to say about the movie." It seems that Connelly's most important thing is the faithful restoration of the original book, and he By personally booking tickets for the film, the audience's concerns may be temporarily dispelled.
Matthew McConaughey's Personalized Performance
From Mike Connery's mouth, he can also hear his affirmation of starring Matthew McConaughey's performance in this film. Since the title of the protagonist "Lincoln Lawyer" comes from his personal preference for working in a Lincoln car, in order to experience this feeling and better interpret the role, McConaughey also has a "method" style in the Lincoln car. felt it. He said, "I had to go and rent one. He [the character] doesn't work outside of his Lincoln, it's like a truck to him, and it only cost me $50." In the film, McConaughey needs to deal not only with the case, but also with the test of his ex-wife's death threats, which he thinks introduces some interesting emotional entanglements, "This story is not a love theme. story, but the story would have had the opportunity to show a love relationship that looked like that. In the film, when they lingered in the night, they wondered, 'What's wrong, we look so much to each other It's perfect', but when they wake up the next morning, they're like, 'what's the matter with me, what the hell am I doing?', at least that's the case with the ex-wife in the film, and there are a lot of similar scenes in the film such a relationship.”
In the film, Marisa Tomei plays McConaughey's "ex-wife". Since her "Wrestler" (2008) was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, Tomei's frequency of filming has slowed down significantly. "Less" (2010) allows people to continue to appreciate her style, so this time her performance is also expected. The handsome Ryan Philippe will play the key role of Louis Ruillette. The doubts of the whole film are based on the allegations of violence and injury by the rich boy. How does he manage the suspicion that his identity is easy to arouse The contradictory state of his sense of innocence and his own innocence will be the biggest test for this middle-aged actor.
