A fusion of musical theatre and film.
Art knows no boundaries. In this film, the development of the plot and the introduction of important characters are advanced through song and dance segments. Billy, as a well-known lawyer defending female inmates in prison, is well versed in the art of defense and uses it as a means of profit. In Billy's appearance, he's making a car made of beautiful women, wearing a suit, and driving a famous car, but the lyrics say "the only thing I care about is love." I have to say that this irony is really powerful.
And the heroine has a desire to be famous from beginning to end. Under the guidance of a lawyer, she pursues fame and fortune, and attracts the attention of public opinion. In the end, she can only walk out of the door of the procuratorate without anyone's interest, even at the risk of lying and tempting doctors. The only husband who loves him is also lost.
I think the singing and dancing part of the puppet show should be the highlight of the film. Billy took the heroine to stand in front of the microphone and in front of the public opinion, but the heroine said nothing while the lawyer talked eloquently. In the gorgeous scene, the heroine just sat on Billy's lap and let him manipulate it. From God's perspective, all newspapers and media are all lawyers' possessions and can be manipulated at will.
Then came the climax of the story, the wonderful trial. The good acting skills of the two, the secretly exchanged words, the ability to bite back, the temptation of leaking legs, everything makes us ponder. The goddess of justice sits high in the sky and covers her eyes with fine sand, in order to feel good and evil with her heart and judge the world; the jury sits high and uses her eyes to judge right and wrong, and both are wrong in the end.
The murderer was innocent. Without thinking, the meaning of democracy, the existence of justice. Is it the will of the goddess or the darkness of human nature
As Shakespeare thought, the world is a big stage, and people from all walks of life are actually engaged in one industry, that is, performance. Sometimes there is no absolute justice in the world, only relative fairness.
