Can't write a short review...
"In 1861, Lincoln said in his inaugural address that "when the people are tired of using their constitutional rights to improve government, they can use revolutionary rights to dismember and overthrow that government." If Lincoln delivered this speech in Linkin Park last summer, He will be tried with us."
"So how can the government be overthrown and dismembered peacefully?"
"In this country we do it every four years"
When the powerful need to use violence to interfere with the weak, it means that it is not far from being dismembered.
The characters in the movie are very three-dimensional. When the bald father couldn't bear to beat the court staff and was subdued, the first sentence he got up was "I'm sorry", Hayden stood up unconsciously, he was resisting the power, and he was always influenced by it, and the movie was also Finally, the change of events to him is depicted... The screenwriter can often depict plump characters in some small details
The film's line design is great. Especially in the penultimate court session, the dialogue between the young glasses lawyer and the long curly-haired man supplements the dialogue in the previous scene, not only does not feel repetitive and redundant, but also has a feeling of deepening and sublimation.
"Our system is perfect and reasonable, but it's just being manipulated by a bunch of bad people."
This is America last year. In the end, Hayden read the names of the victims aloud, the audience gradually stood up, and the judges became increasingly irritable, like the last students of "Dead Poets Society" standing on their desks one by one, pushing their resistance to power and rejection to the highest peak. In my opinion, that's the power of cinema.
