The plot of the movie is actually quite simple. The heroine is a former beauty queen who has been divorced twice and has three children. At the beginning of the film, she is unemployed. Because of a car accident lawsuit, she met an old lawyer. She entered the law firm in a brutal and pitiful way. Work. Of course, she was out of place at the law firm at first. However, in the process of sorting out the documents, she found that the large companies were discharging indiscriminately, polluting the groundwater, causing great damage to the health of the residents of the Hankoli area, which had a great impact on their lives, and these residents were all been blinded. The female protagonist completed the work of collecting evidence and persuading the parties almost independently and completely by faith, and finally won valuable compensation for these injured residents through the full help of professional lawyers and unpleasant cooperation. In the process, the heroine struggles between family, emotions, and career, and finally wins respect.
I wasn't moved by the movie in the first place, at the beginning, I didn't even approve of it. Because it seems that what other lawyers can't do, the heroine can do it, but because of her beauty, sexiness, and she knows how to take advantage of this sexiness. From her entry into the law firm, the process of obtaining evidence, and the help of her boyfriend, she is full of the aura of the protagonist. Because my family works in environmental monitoring, the sampling work I know is impossible to do as easily as a montage in a movie.
The moment she changed her mind was when the heroine told her boyfriend that she couldn't give up the job because she had earned respect for the first time in her life.
I can accept that the film simplifies and dramatizes overly specialized issues. My disapproval is that I thought the heroine's success was because of her beauty, and ignored her beliefs.
I was really moved when Irene recited the girl's situation in a barrage. I also very much agree with Ed's words that those lawyers are hard earned for their glossy appearance. I think that Erin's success is because, for other lawyers, the case is their job, and the client is their service object, but for Erin, this is her career, she put all her effort into it, This is the first time in her life that she has been respected and recognized. The difference between "career" and "work" here does not mean that other lawyers are not serious enough or have no feelings, but that for other lawyers, career is a part of their life, and this case is a stage of their career, while for other lawyers, career is a part of their life. For Irene at the bottom of her life, career is almost the whole source of positive energy in her life, and it is the only hope other than chicken feathers.
I recognized Erin because her actions also fit some of my beliefs. Only sincerity, only the most fundamental and deep drive can drive us to the key to all things. This may be a rotten truth, but I still believe that it may be too idealistic, but I will agree with "Never Compromise" because of this. The law requires the belief of the whole society, we need to maintain the original intention of pursuing justice, and everything needs to have a passionate original intention and maintain it before it can be done.
One of the very moving parts of the film is about prejudice.
People's prejudice against lawyers in suits, people's prejudice against beautiful women. I really liked the last part of the video, Erin's smackdown on lawyer's prejudice, I love her smug look, and Ed's playful slap back at Erin's prejudice, and I love his smug look and Erin stunned look. It's two dramatic, comedic clips that can't help but feel good, but I really like the slap-in-the-face bias at its core.
