troubles of life

This is an exquisite warm film + legal film. Of course, this type of film needs well-filtered footage and moving music. Let the audience pour a bowl of chicken soup for the soul in a semi-hypnotic state.
Robert Downey Jr. plays a lawyer who works hard in a big city, has a very successful career, is rich, and drives a Porsche. But his inner pain is the lack of family affection. Because of the death of his mother, he returned to his home town. The father is a judge who has served here for decades, and the same tense father-son relationship has not changed for decades. The sudden change made the elderly and sick father unbearable, and the car hit and killed someone on a rainy night. RDJ wanted to defend his father in his own way, but couldn't get his approval. A young lover opened a bar-restaurant and a daughter whose father could not be identified. And he and his wife are getting divorced. Life is pushed into troubles with nowhere to go. This is a boring and helpless world, and no one will help you solve the problem. Stick to your own events and don't live for other people's reasons, this may be the only way.

The Judge quotes

  • Hank Palmer: Did you know 90% of the country believes in ghosts? less than a third in evolution? 35% can correctly identify Homer Simpson's fictional town in which he resides, less than 1% knows the name Thurgood Marshall. But... when you put 12 Americans together in a jury and you ask for justice? Something just South of brilliance happens. Often as not, they get it right.

  • Hank Palmer: This family is a f***ing Piccaso.
