Incomplete ideological map

From the beginning of the Vietnam War to the end of the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement was able to hold its position in the extreme frenzy. After being detonated, it still remembers the starting point of its quest, which is really worthy of being loaded into historical memory. "I've never been on trial for my thoughts before" hit the tears, and the hippie popcorn head poked at the soul of the Constitution with a cynical tone. The contrast made me feel even more emotional: the establishment of the modern rule of law such as "ideas cannot be convicted" In the process of consensus, countless human rights fighters who were the first to awaken must have been sacrificed.

Although it is another experience of being swept up by PCs and the beacon of democracy, I am willing to regard the supremacy of the constitution, equality and freedom, and the courage to dissent as my underlying beliefs; at the same time, it is more and more necessary to admit that the law cannot be separated from politics—ruling, the day the law was born And zz domination is synonymous. Therefore, it is a kind of reconciliation to build one of the important values ​​of legal person on the confrontation with public power.

Legal realism is staged again, with judgment before trial, and unscrupulous justification of conclusions under the domination of ideology and free inner evidence. At first, I thought this judge was synonymous with feudalism and conservativeness, but after seeing the case reversed by the 7th circuit, I couldn't help thinking that, as a trial judge of 'the whole world is watching', knowing that I was at the cusp of the storm, the film would be even more of a surprise. He is shaped like a clown, his authority has plummeted, and he still sticks to his conservative views. Is it his stupidity, or his compromise with public power, or is his ideology so deeply rooted that he believes that he is doing the right ruling? Curious about his law school experience - legal realism!

The first half of the movie viewing experience was really bad, and the editing was confusing. I have been trying to catch up, and I went back and watched it several times. There are too many things that want to emphasize the contrast, too messy and too deliberate, and it is only in the second half that I feel a little bit of editing strength.
