where is heaven

There has always been such a question in Tiandao
: Why do you still do it when you know there is danger? Why is it necessary to give birth even though it will kill people? Why can't you take action when you know how to prevent it?
For example, guns. This completely useless thing for practical purposes is constantly being made and progressing faster than most medicines. In the past, when I heard Americans talk about democracy, I always had a kind of excitement, not because of their so-called sound legal system, but because of the social crux that is still unavoidable in such a society, the management of guns. After watching so many American films and almost every film involving "guns", I always have questions: Is the tool for killing so easy to get? Since there is such a sound law, why not legislate to prohibit it? So I felt that no matter how unsatisfactory China's laws are, and whether their purpose is for the public or the regime, at least I won't worry about being hit by stray bullets on the road. Thinking about the reason is very simple, probably China's arms manufacturing industry is completely owned by the state, and he does not need to sell his products by any means in pursuit of never-ending interests like American companies.
When I was so complacent, I never thought how long the Americans themselves had been fighting for such unreasonableness? The hardships they fought under their own laws, in my superficial opinion, fell out of my sight. But today's film puts such a struggle in front of me - "Out of Control Jury".



Can come into contact with this film, it is because, Dustin? Hoffman. I watched his films for a period of time after "Rain Man", but this one has only been carefully watched until now, and I feel that the meaning of the film surpasses all his previous films. (Only social significance, warmth is too good.)

After an office shooting in New Orleans, the parties sued the gun manufacturers to the court, accusing them of producing weapons and causing many violent incidents. He asked the court to rule on the sale of weapons is an illegal act.
The case goes to trial as scheduled. At this time, a mysterious figure, Nick Easter (John Cusack), a member of the jury in this case, begins to operate behind the scenes. They voted "the right way".
At the same time, Easter's girlfriend, Mary (Rachel Weisz), also wants to deceive the two lawyers in the case, the defendant's Lanjin Finch and the plaintiff's Dou Ruhl (Kim Hackman and Kim Hackman). Dustin Hoffman), have them bid $10 million in bribes to get the jury to do their will.
So, East and Mary cooperated with each other and skillfully manipulated the firearms sale case. The 12-person jury was in chaos and completely out of control...
Because of a lawsuit, someone began to spy on you, and You

are not a party, you are just a juror...
Ruhr is upright and moral, he chose the justice of the world after many doubts. And that's what Finch did, threatening every vulnerable juror into submission. Only this time, he was threatened by others on the contrary.
Hoffman's role is too small, the main battle is between East and Finch. After seeing it, I knew that East was not for the money, but what I didn't expect was that they came to mess with Finch. When Finch was exhausted and could only pay, Easter's identity was exposed. It turned out that they were also the victims of the previous school shooting, and their lawsuit was lost entirely because of Finch's interference. To empower themselves and all gun victims, they kept getting involved in gun cases until this one went up against Finch.
The ending is in line with speculation, the gun company was sentenced to huge compensation, Finch was caught and withdrawn from the legal profession, and the future seemed bright.

The ending reflects the wishes of most people, but it also makes people realize that the No. 2 Constitution of the United States is to protect arms dealers, and it also makes people think why the American government is so fond of waging war.
In fact, when I talk about foreign countries, I always think about my own country. If one day the government opens up management for its own needs, where will we fight. I am afraid that there is no place to even fight.
Where is the way of heaven? The way of heaven is not in people's minds, not in justice, but in interests.
