wonderful court debate

Even after watching Lynda's "A Closer Look at America" ​​series, I still don't remember much about American history and law. But that didn't stop me from appreciating the wonderful courtroom debate of this movie. The wonderful game between the two sides, the lines are very fast, and people can't be distracted. The film is based on true events, the American civil rights movement of the 1960s, and the trial of seven organizers. At the beginning of the trial, the judge made a judgment without trial, made it difficult for the defense, and made it difficult for the defense to speak. In the end, five people were convicted. Finally, when Hayden read out the names of the soldiers who died in the Vietnam War, I couldn't hold back the tears. The U.S. government has been hiding the truth of the war, sending American youths to the battlefield, and how many remember their names. The way of war, the struggle for rights and interests, is at the cost of the lives of thousands of innocent people, ordering the caller to stand behind the high curtain and not care how much blood is shed under his feet.

    It is another five-star new film, but unlike the previous films that jointly revealed the new method, this is the last dazzling afterglow of the old method. My evaluation criteria have been rebuilt recently: because compared to the ontology of film, the next ten years may need to care more about the carrier-movie as a channel has never been so dangerous; film as an art has never been so important too. What is apparent authority, what is fundamental authority, what is "a line", what is NPC, and what is dialectical power (blood? Whose blood?), I will often use this movie to wake me and us. "Actually, today's world is made up of both the dead and the living, not just the living. It's a simple concept, but it's always ignored and ignored." This passage From Lou Ye, I moved it out because I think Alan Sorkin made this movie with such an attitude. Salute to all conscientious filmmakers.

    Attempts to use high-intensity dialogue and collaborative editing to create emotional fluctuations that do not exist in the historical situation, but the essence is based on the premise of violating the real situation, so it is a TV series. The lack of awareness of "presence" in the restoration of history fully proves that Alan Sorkin's excitement for the restoration of historical events is a kind of rude pleasure.
