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.

    Without the spirit of truth-seeking, the courtroom is nothing but a debate game. ps: The jury system in the United States used to be a good system to ensure that the verdict can meet the public's perception, but now it has many problems, especially the "prohibition of appeal" and "invalidation of the law" are the most terrible places. It means that the jury is given supreme authority and can even go beyond the law when necessary to "make" the law (case law). In contrast, Germany's "participation system" is much more reasonable.

    I finally realized how fragile my principles are, and my values ​​can’t be more conservative...As a self-proclaimed anti-social Chinese idyllic feminist dog, she has no sympathy and dislikes for this possibly raped heroine, just because I believe she is not a socialist. Stabilizing factor... The prosecutor is the worst straight male cancer, but I stand firmly on their side... I don’t think there is any persuasiveness and I don’t understand the jury’s choice...

Anatomy of a Murder quotes

  • Lt. Frederick Manion: How can a jury disregard what it's already heard?

    Paul Biegler: [shaking head] They can't, lieutenant. They can't.

  • Judge Weaver: For the benefit of the jury, but more especially for the spectators, The garment mentioned in the testimony was, to be exact, Mrs. Manion's panties.

    [spectators roar with laughter]

    Judge Weaver: I wanted to get your snickering over and done with. This pair of panties will be mentioned again over the course of this trial, & when it is, there will not be one laughter, one snicker, one giggle or even one smirk in my courtroom. There is nothing comic about a pair of panties that resulted in the violent death of one man, & the possible incarceration of another.
