The other side of the beat generation

At the end of the film, I saw DreamWorks production and Netflix produced, which is very surprising, and my expectations for Netflix are getting higher and higher. The entire 120-minute story tells about a famous trial. During this period, the background clips of the story are constantly narrated in flashbacks. There are three emotional climaxes in the whole film. Chi Clark testified as a witness, and once ended with Tom Hayden dictating a list of more than 4,500 soldiers who died in the Vietnam War. What is very admirable is that the screenwriter tried to restore the positions of different people as fair as possible by interspersing some plots. These people include revolutionaries, defense and prosecution lawyers, politicians, and other audiences who appear in court. As a person who is completely ignorant of this historical event before, through the movie, I can see that the revolutionaries also have a selfish side, and the prosecution lawyers also have the side of temporarily giving up their positions to insist on justice. Of course, I am more moved by the so-called Beat Generation for the sake of The courage to fight for peace and to stand up to power. Maybe the screenwriter has deliberately exaggerated plots in order to arouse emotional resonance, but the reality sometimes seems to be plain and simple. When individuals are exposed to the torrent of history, they may not feel its magnificent and magnificent, and the charm of the film lies in some exaggeration. The way, to describe, to present, let the audience wake up, ah, it turns out that those who passed by us were so brave, they are creating history.
