Peachy case

The good film of IMDb top 250 is really one less than one. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their bilingual high-definition CC version resources. James Stewart has repeatedly played similar roles in his film career. He is full of individualism, wisdom, and powerful speech, but this film is a little surprising. This role is like McConaughey in the personally admired "Lincoln Lawyer" last year. The protagonist, who uses the coat of law but walks on the edge of the law, starred in a seemingly righteous, but in fact, quite good at exploiting loopholes.

Rather than interpreting this work as a legal classic and a court masterpiece, I think it is better to understand it as a work that mocks the court system and mocks the jury. There are three details in this film that I like very much. One is the suspiciousness that the defendant said to the judge that "this question and answer are not recorded and the jury will not consider it." The lawyer smiled easily: "Of course they can't ignore it"; the other At the end, the partner said, “It’s unbelievable that 12 people from different identities, places, and living conditions gather together to try people who they don’t understand”; there is also a break in the courtroom. The lawyer gave a little bait to catch a bullfrog by understanding the judge’s hobby. The three details are a bit absurd, but from different levels, the professionalism of the lawyer, the professionalism of the judge, the objectivity of the jury and the citation of evidence Legitimacy is a pungent irony. It may be a bit exaggerated, but it is not difficult to imagine that justice in court, or justice in law, is actually a very vague and ethereal concept when thinking of the classic work "12 Angry Men" in 57 years.
