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.

    Sondra: You're going to be in a lot more of it if you stand up and say 'Fry the pigs!'
