The film is based on an adaptation of the Scopes case. The focus of the controversy in the case is "whether Tennessee allows public schools to publicly promote the theory of evolution", followed by the 1968 Epson v. Arkansas case and the 1987 Edwards v. Aguilard case The Scopes "Monkey Trial" case was reproduced, and the propositions of "Whether Arkansas allowed to publicly promote the theory of evolution" and "Whether the scientific creation theory allowed to be taught publicly" were discussed separately. The above cases were all centered on the United States Constitution. Disputes about the separation of state and religion, and the Federal Supreme Court ruled that “scientific creationism belongs to religious theology, and its public propaganda in school violates the separation of state and religion clause; evolutionary theory does not belong to religious theology, and it is allowed to conduct public discussions and discussions within schools. professor". It seems that the discussion of truth based on the pursuit of inner order is not simple, or that the promotion of this great progress is not just for the purpose of social progress. Hype the case for the purpose of afterlife, and the story behind it is far more complicated than the development of the table. Second, in contrast to our country’s "natural criminals theory" because it violates the mainstream value of society (Marxist crime view) and "does not recommend" public discussion in class, at least there is a court room in the United States to discuss a topic or a certain topic publicly. The social environment in which opinions can be promoted is still relatively freer.

    8.3 Recently, I am obsessed with the theory of evolution. Based on real cases, the conflict between science and religion. The performance was very exciting, especially the court debate drama. The most exciting legal drama I have watched after "The Prosecution Witness" was very speculative. However, the last court drama attorney Crumond used the theory of evolution to question the Bible. Until now, the expression is too concise, and there is no detailed refutation, which is difficult for ordinary audiences to understand. The dialogue at the end is more meaningful, and if you want science, you must also have faith. "All draconian laws, like the plague, can destroy everyone, whether it is its opponents or its pawns. If you can rule that the teaching of evolution in public schools is a crime, you will soon teach in private schools. The behavior of the theory of evolution will also become a crime, and then reading the theory of evolution will also become a crime. If legislation prohibits the theory of evolution, then you can ban even reading the theory of evolution, and then you can prohibit the publication of books, and then you can try to take yourself The religion imposed on everyone’s mind and body, if you can do one of them, you can do another."

    A courtroom drama defending the freedom of scientific communication, with exciting debates, although this courtroom drama is not as gimmicky as a crime case, but the aftertaste left is even more exciting.
