This is the last episode of Boston Legal, but it's not the last episode I've watched because I haven't watched the entire fifth season, but all I still want to say is, "Don't want to say goodbye, BL!"
This is me Favorite series, a professionally American drama about legal practice, interspersed with humor, comedy, love, and friendship; in units (although I used to dislike unit series), each episode consists of two or three cases , The case is bizarre, the characters are all kinds of strange, some are demanding independence from the United States, some are suing the US Army; there are homosexuality, transvestites, fetishes, dwarfs and so on. But the main theme revolves around all aspects of legal practice: the rights of citizens, due process of law, human nature, and so on.
The last episode feels like the most warm and sad episode. The soothing background music is dominated by piano and JAZZ. Because it is Christmas, there are flashing neon lights everywhere, exuding a warm but faint atmosphere of parting. However, the final episode was also BL's most controversial, as this time it took aim directly at CHI*NA. It can be said that it is a hearty attack on some of C's policies. (Crane, Poole & Schmidt) law firm had to be acquired by a company from C due to financial crisis, but this was strongly opposed by Schmidt et al. In court, she said: "C is a beautiful country, I always wanted to see the Great Wall, but they came to buy us, I was very scared, they have always been extremely cruel to HUMAN*RIGHT, they do not support speech ZIYOU, religion ZIYOU, They support Sudan, they are responsible for the genocide in Darfur, they turn a blind eye to the slaughter of baby girls, they force abortions, they practice torture, ...", and finally, she choked up: "I believe that one day the United States will be responsible for C It will be a new world order, but if we buy our law firm, my name is still on the sign,...my life's work is to create...let them start with other firms first Well." In the end, the court rejected Schmidt's request, and the acquisition was completed. When talking to the new management from C, Schmidt walked out of the office calmly without compromise, and I saw an uncompromising, principled, attractive woman, or a stubborn old woman.
Whether screenwriter David E. Kelley is trying to get a little more smoke in the finale or to draw more attention, I can see objectively and clearly some of what Westerners really think of us. For us, is it to protest hysterically, or to face up to some tough questions raised by others? In fact, how many people know, understand, and even admit these problems. It is a pity that many people have not seen these problems. The odious thing is that some people have seen these problems, but they have tried to quibble and refuse to admit them. We always consider the accusations of others as ulterior motives, and the criticisms of others as humiliation. For example, the international anti-sweatshop organization issued a report accusing multinational companies (such as NIKE) of exploiting workers in their factories in China, while our local government denied these accusations in order to attract investment and ensure GDP, and even believed that the West was trying to get rid of The sinister intentions of the financial crisis. MY GOD! According to recent news reports, several child workers were injured in an explosion at a factory. If there is no explosion, who would care about the child labor phenomenon of left-behind children of migrant workers, let alone the child labor in brick kilns in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province.
There are also two other cases in this episode, which will be broken down next time. I've always wanted to write the story of each episode, but it's definitely a huge project, but I also definitely think it's a very meaningful thing. Every time the judge's verdict will shock my heart, and the lawyer's CLOSE will also benefit me a lot. But this huge project will be discussed later. The following is a simple verdict. The two protagonists of the show, Alan Shore and Denny Crane, are both excellent lawyers and have formed a long-term friendship, and this relationship has gradually evolved into love, although they are not gay, but, They are mutually needed companions. Denny Crane knew that he didn't have a long time because of physical reasons. He wanted to give Alan Shore a huge wealth. Only by getting married could he avoid huge taxes. On the other hand, he really needed a partner and loved Alan Shore. However, their marriage was opposed by the Gay Association, arguing that they were married for property. In the end, the female judge ruled as follows: "I did find that the union was primarily based on money, but I also acknowledged that people marry for a variety of reasons, and the government should not ask why. Same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, and your motion for an injunction is rejected."
