Hope we get better

Watching the whole movie, what brought me the most was shock and horror. 1. I am struck by the fact that a middle-class lawyer like Bilot can sue for a rancher against the industry giant DuPont, with whom he has all partnerships. It's hard to imagine who would stand up if this happened in our country. 2. And as the "leader" of one of the partners of the law firm, I firmly support Bilot under the congress, which is also very encouraging to me. Likewise, if there is a lawyer who dares to stand up to the industry giants in our environment, how far can he go. Although Bilot was under pressure from all sides in the second half of the film, if it were us, the story might end with the death of one bull. 3. Although it is difficult to fight against such an industry giant, it has to be said that this is a great victory. Of course, the persistence of the protagonist Bilot is the key. But without such a legal and social environment, the power of the individual is ultimately insignificant. In my opinion, this is not a personal heroism, it is more like a battle of the whole society and ordinary people. 4. I saw that the work "I'm not the God of Medicine" was also mentioned in the comments. Although it is very exciting, it does lack some reality. I hope we can also shoot some works that are very meaningful and can really promote social progress, which reflect real problems.
