I often admire Americans for watching dramas. They can peel off an old case, sort out the clues clearly, and then present it on the TV screen or movie screen in a very professional form, like "zodiac", like "the night of", like the OJSimpson I'm recommending today. The reason why I admire them is that, in addition to their super-thinking ability in screenwriting, their case data is well preserved and open to the public, otherwise FX would not have done such an authentic filming.
For a citizen of a country with an unsound legal system and a low degree of legalization, it is difficult for me to understand many of the practices in the play. If such a thing happened to me, to me or my family and friends, I would I would feel extremely angry, because it seems obvious to me, but under the American system of rule of law, everything has to go through a strict judicial process before a case is finalized, and the results often surprise me. Watching such a drama, it is difficult for me to stay out of the way. I will choose a position and choose to support the prosecution lawyers. They do not succumb to public opinion and moral correctness. I am very moved by the tireless pursuit of justice. But the screenwriters did not choose a position like me. They also showed their professionalism, thoughtful and changeable style of work, and insistence on their ideals in the scenes of the defense lawyer team. The prosecution lawyer Martha and the defense lawyer Johnny are the two most outstanding characters in the play. They have strong ideas and diverse methods, which make the play very watchable, and also have a direct impact on me. Influence - Be firm in your belief that what you're up to is right, no matter what happens, and fight for it.
The jury is really a magical existence, because these people are easily swayed by emotions, and emotions come from their lives, and the influence of race, religion, and living environment is deeply rooted, especially when it comes to cases like the show, where morality is correct. Sensual poison completely destroys truth and justice. I don’t know if this case has changed the jury system in the United States. From the review at the end of the play, it doesn’t seem to be. I think this is very sad, and it is probably the headache that a multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic country like the United States will always face. question. Although I can't think of a better way to define what's true and what's false, I still don't feel right to hand over the judgment to a group of old men and women who live at home and have a narrow vision.
During the trial process, Americans tried their best to be fair and just. For example, the presiding judge of the case asked another judge to judge whether he needed to be recused because of the tape incident. Such a small detail shows what a sound legal system is. Here, there is basically no need for a trial to offend the judge, just wait for the summons to prison, but in the play, they still organized the trial in a serious way. These details make my admiration for the show extend beyond the show. This deep-rooted rule of law gene, this high level of self-awareness of upholding fairness and justice, I think it is the cornerstone of building a better future for mankind, not the economy that looks good. Statistics, beautiful-sounding political manifestos, and slogans with unintelligible word combinations and unmemorable word counts.
All in all, I recommend this show, it can make you understand the American judicial system and feel angry, helpless, and admire.
