May the world be consensual

[The Accused 1988]? The Chinese translation of the name is rather disgusting, it is called [Bao Jie Li Hua] at first glance, you will think it is [Bao Jie chrysanthemum] or [Destroy Pear flower]?

This is Judy Foster's first Oscar-winning work at the age of 27. The plot still touched me several times. It's about Sarah, a young girl from a commoner background, quarreled with the male ticket and went to a bar to relax. As a result, because he was too beautiful and sexy, three men gang raped in front of everyone. And instead of stopping them, the surrounding witnesses booed, clapped their hands, applauded, and encouraged them. So the climax of the trial was to send the onlookers to court, not only prosecuting them on deaf ears, but also characterizing the crime as rape.

Naturally, obstacles and obstacles were encountered several times in the process of deciding a crime.

I still want to raise a few questions here and ask myself,

1⃣️If a girl is too beautiful and too sultry, then for others to commit crimes against her, is it right that she deserves it?

2⃣️If this girl is gang-raped, then his boyfriend doesn't feel the same way and thinks that things are over. She is depressed, very unhappy, and refuses to have sex. Is she really annoying if she does not come out?

3⃣️When the girl was gang-raped under the eyes of everyone, all witnesses did not stop or stop, and even encouraged this behavior, believing that it was the girl who caught fire to her upper body, completely ignored her refusal, her body was bruised and bruised, then the onlookers are innocent ?

May the world be consensual. May all the wicked be brought to justice. Everyone will pay the price.

The Accused quotes

  • Kathryn Murphy: Either you tell me right now what you saw or you can tell it to me on the witness stand.

    Ken Joyce: Why? This isn't my business. I don't care about this.

  • Kathryn Murphy: Listen again..."A person is guilty of criminal solicitation if he commands, induces, entreats or otherwise persuades another person to commit a felony-"

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: You can read it to me until you're blue in the face, I am not gonna let you prosecute a bunch of spectators -

    Kathryn Murphy: [cutting him off] They're not spectators. They solicited the rape.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: Do you really want to ask a jury to lock up a bunch of people for clapping and cheering?

    Kathryn Murphy: Clapping? Cheering? Pushing? Goading? Getting the rape going and keeping it going!

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: And what happens if you lose? You'll look like an incompetent. If you win, you'll look like a vengeful bitch. Either way, you'll hurt yourself and this office. Now, drop it. You've got more important things to do.

    Kathryn Murphy: No I haven't.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: You haven't got more important things to do than go to trial with a sure loser? What the hell's gotten into you?

    Kathryn Murphy: We owe her.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: Owe her what? We put the rapists away.

    Kathryn Murphy: *I* owe her.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: I see. You wanna spend my money to put a bunch of spectators on trial - a trial that you'll lose - because you owe her? No! You don't get to use this office to pay your debts!

    Kathryn Murphy: I am going to try this case and you are not going to stop me.

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: Kathryn, you're an ace. You've got a great future. Don't put it in jeopardy.

    Kathryn Murphy: What are you going to do, fire me? Go right ahead. My first case will be a civil suit against the rapists, the solicitors, the Bar and the State. I will show that Sarah Tobias ended up in a hospital bed because this office sold her out. I will personally subpoena your records, put you on the witness stand and cross-examine you about every single sleazy plea-bargain this office has ever made.

    [turning to exit]

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: [shouting] Go ahead! Try your case! Have a good time! Because win or lose, you're through!

    [turns to notice others in the office staring at him]

    D.A. Paul Rudolph: What are you lookin' at? Get back to work!
