The biggest feeling after watching the film is that I originally thought it was a boring documentary film. After watching it, I found out that it is a drama film with a compact plot. The tone of the whole film is very similar to that of Korean defenders. The story cuts into a grand background of the times.
At the end of the film, the judge said that as long as the little freckles briefly expressed their remorse, they could get a lighter sentence;
On the contrary, Freckle repeated the judge's words, emphasizing "brief", and then read out the thousands of young people who died in the Vietnam War in detail.
Knowing that the hook of remembering the name at the beginning will eventually work, knowing that the little freckles repeating the judge's words is a bit deliberate;
But when I said my name, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
The quick editing at the beginning of the film is also very interesting, and the narrative efficiency is also very high. The modest fat man told his son to be gentle when he encounters the police, and he cut to the foul language of the leader of the Black Panther Party before he finished speaking;
During the court trial, after experiencing the unfair treatment of the judge several times, the fat man couldn't bear it, so he touched the police; this scene happened to be seen by his son who was also in the court;
Officially, because there are many such settings, after the seven-member group has made one effort after another, they have been frustrated again and again. I can feel this powerlessness and anger very well;
That's why, when I read the names at the end, I was "touched";
But this kind of touching is not clear, am I touched by these seven people, or by the lost young lives on this list?
Because I don’t know the deeds of these seven people and the background of the American era, I need to digest a lot of plots and settings when watching the film. In the middle of the film, I still can’t clearly understand what these seven people are fighting for, I just feel that they are being unfairly treated. , all the way to the end of the plot.
