no political trial

With such a strong desire to express the lines, I can't find anyone else in the director who can match it except Sorkin. Anyone who has experienced "Jasmine's Game" should have a fresh memory of Sorkin's machine gun-like lines. If there is a moment of jungler while watching a movie, you may have to sit silly next. "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" is more than enough. Suo Jin's drama looks like a literary drama, but it is actually a martial arts drama in the lines: fast, ruthless, accurate, like a fight between two sides. General movies are suitable for students to practice listening and speaking, while Sorkin's script is suitable for reading comprehension. The director has ulterior motives for releasing it before the US election. From Spielberg to Sorkin, Sorkin says this "political propaganda film" is 12 years late. What is being promoted, I think it will be more fun for everyone to see it for themselves. Although the story takes place in America in the 1960s, the history is always strikingly similar. Shifting stars is just a background term. Even if the technology iterates to 10G, the evolution of human beings is still stagnant. 1. Talk about the background, easy to watch the movie The world in the 1960s entered the frenzy period of the student movement, the May storm in France, the American hippie movement, the Czechoslovakian student movement, "the whole world has entered adolescence". In the context of the Cold War, a large number of people in capitalist society were dissatisfied with the shortcomings and inferiority of capitalism. The Chicago Democratic Convention was the culmination and focal point of various forms of social movement in the 1960s. The hippie movement, the black civil rights movement, and rock bands, as well as various social activists, gathered near the Hilton Hotel to start a riot, to influence election results. The trial in this film is textbook-level. Sorkin doesn't tell the whole story in chronological order. Instead, he revolves around the Chicago trial, jumping back and forth between the Chicago protest scene, the defense attorney's office, and Hoffman's courtroom. The trial can only be described as "chaotic, bizarre, and absurd": the judge shouted while pulling his neck, one defendant had no defense lawyer, and the level of farce was very similar to the US election a few days ago. ...... 2. What I want to say through the film is to express myself with the lines of the film: In a free America, there are only civil and criminal trials, where does the "political trial" come from? I'm not happy that for the next 50 years, people will think of you when they think of progressive movements, of you and your stupid followers, handing out daisies to cops with guns, and making the Pentagon float. They don't think about equality or justice at all, they don't think about education, poverty, or social progress, they just think about a bunch of drugged cowards, drunk, confused, vulgar, lawless losers... In your opinion, would things have been different in Chicago if JFK was nominated in the People's Congress... Yes, we don't go to jail for what we do, we go to jail for who we are! we're not going to jail because of what we did. we're going to jail because of who we are!

    There is no need for a political show of guilt, two people make up the number and one person gags; to fight against patriarchy, you only need to carry a stick, racial equality will pay for your life at any time; "Blood all over the city", returning to the list of the dead... Sorkin's script has been filmed by the director for more than ten years, and finally he went into battle and made the film when it was most realistic. Congratulations

    The little brother chatted that he was remembering his name because their court fight was very trivial compared to the dead in Vietnam, and then he immediately moved on to the next scene. Then, of course, I had a clever mind, and I felt that this high probability was just foreshadowing at the end. im patting myself on my own back for that
