If Twelve Angry Men showed us the brilliance and merits of human nature in the jury system, then this film is a warning. The credibility of this warning depends on how much the history of the true story has been modified and artistically worked on by Alan Sorkin.
There is actually no reversal in the film, and the viewing process has been relatively bland, and almost only the excellent editing and interesting dialogue are enough to make people relish. In the second half of the film, I am more concerned about what speech Abby will make to surprise everyone. The hippie seems to have seen everything in front of him, but he can't do anything; Hayden, who has ideals and ambitions, has impure goals. , hard to capture. This is indeed an irony.
I have to say that it's really troublesome to tell the intricate history of this relationship in two hours, and Alan Sorkin presents it in a group drama and comedy-like way, which is clever. The resulting problem is that the details of the story are insufficient, the theme is slightly blurred, and the reflection on history cannot be well reflected. When those exquisite dialogues make people laugh again, who can see the blood behind the narrators. Just like the beginning and end of the film, it is mentioned by the masses that "the world is watching." I want to add one more sentence: "But no one will remember."
Finally, Hayden read the list, the prosecution attorney stood up, and the crowd cheered. The premonitions of these scenes are written on the face like the judge's prejudice at the beginning, and I also want to say that it may be easier to forget this film than to remember.
