To see how much BL has to understand the American judicial system, when this young country was established, it avoided the defects of the European state power structure at that time and created a brand-new national system, namely, a democratic regime (the people have free speech and free elections). right). The first article of the U.S. Constitution is human rights, freedom of speech, and every article of all constitutions is established in accordance with this first article. So you often hear Americans say The First Amendent, which means that they have the right to freedom of speech protected by the Constitution. This is not just talking. If any person, company or government's clause infringes on Article 1 of the Constitution, they can all lose the case in court. The United States is a country of human nature, so it is based on human nature. Whether or not to commit a crime is not the decision of the government, but the decision of 12 jurors. As long as you can persuade and impress the jury's emotions, your case has the possibility of winning. On this basis, the laws of any country in the world cannot be compared with it.
Alan Shore is a savvy lawyer who understands this truth deeply. In other words, the reason he can win the case almost every time he goes out is because he knows how to impress the jurors and make them feel that he is sincere. As he said to a female lawyer (his lawyer-girlfriend), you have to have the ability to convince the jurors of you. Of course, many people accuse him of distorting the facts and misleading the feelings of the jurors, but Alan's advantage is that whether it is misleading or distorting, his knowledge and ability enable him to let the jurors follow his thinking. Every time I watch Alan's impassioned speeches in court, I can't help but think that if Alan is a Chinese lawyer, he will have nothing to do, there is no legal basis to play, and there is no room for free play, I am afraid that he will be unemployed long ago.
If you watch BL, you want to be a friend of a lawyer like Alan. I say you don’t be stupid. Alan is playing a game of American law. Without the protection of the U.S. Constitution, he has no chance of winning.
The cost of American lawyers is a few hundred dollars per hour. Alan is just a senior lawyer in BL. He is not even a partner. Naturally, he can only charge 500 dollars an hour. If he becomes a Partner, it will cost thousands of an hour. Woolen cloth!
To make a long story short, the essence of BL lies in the screenwriter’s deep understanding of every detail of American law (producer R Kelly himself used to be an attorney), through various social or political issues caused by legal cases, through Alan’s mouth Dissatisfaction with various social issues and political issues, the splendor is amazing, so this TV series is very sensational in the United States for this reason.
Personally, I still like the practice, which is closer to real life and more touching. And the protagonist of BL is the spokesperson of the upper middle class in the high-level lawyer's office, which makes you feel that Great Americanism, the so-called American center, is at stake.
Another wonderful thing about BL is the black humorous comedy, which makes people laugh. However, in a human society like the United States where people are truly emotional, justice is manifested in winning opportunities by moving others. If you like BL, it means that you are a person with dreams and sensibility like Alan.
