Video analysis behind the truth

The most suspicious point of the film is that at the end of the film, the lawyer and his son have finished confronting each other separately, and they have the awkward expression on their faces when they come out to face the heroine. Because we really don’t understand what lawyers can do? If according to our guess, the lawyer and the female protagonist had an affair and planned a murder, produced perjury of domestic violence, and gained sympathy and conviction. So where exactly is the lawyer's bewilderment? Isn't everything going according to his plan? Although the middle son accidentally committed the mother's sin, the final result was very smooth. The son was innocent, and he was not exposed, and the hostess got the life he wanted. Even the son once planned to report the crime of murder by the lawyer, which was prevented by the lawyer. The son's life was labelled as being xx and murdered by his father, and he reluctantly accepted this. It can be said that the lawyer won a big victory, he should laugh at the end of the film and show a sense of pride in the conspiracy finally succeeded in no one. However, this is not the case. At the end of the film, he was at a loss, and even thought and repented silently in the unmanned courtroom at the end. All this seems very wrong. It is precisely because of this that there are various speculations in the film reviews that mothers are behind the scenes, and the depth of this movie has risen a lot. In fact, the mother is indeed behind the scenes, but the role of the lawyer should be much simpler than the audience imagined at the beginning. Let me put forward my point of view below.

1. Lawyers and heroines are not lovers

The whole film does not have any direct or indirect evidence or even hint to show that the lawyer and the heroine have any relationship between men and women. They did not show any intimacy in the whole film. Only there was an ambiguous hug at the end of the end of the trial, but considering the time The two people's relieved mentality and Western etiquette, this hug should not be over-interpreted (even I suspect that this hug is used by the director to mislead the audience). The heroine's true lover is the neighbor's son, and the lawyer knows this. I believe that attentive audiences have discovered this. The neighbor’s son has been with the hostess outside the court many times. The lawyer has spoken to the hostess in front of the neighbor’s son several times, or called the hostess away from the neighbor’s son. of. So the lawyer knows the existence of the neighbor's son, and also knows the relationship between the hostess and the neighbor's son. Of course, we as the audience can make various guesses about the plot. What I want to say here is that the film itself does not have any evidence that the lawyer and the heroine are lovers. You may wish to try to continue reading below on this premise, it should be said. Through.

2. The lawyer really thinks that the heroine suffered domestic violence,

Only with this consideration can the lawyer's performance at the end of the film make sense. (Although there is a scene of the heroine forging evidence of domestic violence at the end of the film, we take it for granted that this is a lawyer’s instruction or at least colluding with the heroine to forge evidence. In fact, forging evidence is a unilateral act of the heroine, and the lawyer does not know the evidence of domestic violence. It is a fake) The lawyer is willing to kill people out of a sense of justice or compassion to help the weak. Lawyers always believe that what they are doing is correct. So in the end, through a separate confrontation with his son, he found out that he had been cheated by the heroine, so he showed a dazed expression and began to wonder if what he did was correct, so he went back to the court to think alone. repent.

3. The heroine is indeed behind the scenes

In the eyes of the lawyer, she played a weak woman bullied by her husband, reluctant to accept an unfortunate marriage. The neighbor’s son is her only spiritual haven and spiritual support. Now her husband has discovered the derailment of the heroine, and even threatened the heroine’s life. . The victim's consistent tough style and the habit of messing with flowers intensified the lawyer's sympathy for the heroine. In particular, the victim told the lawyer that he had found the heroine cheated and threatened to pay her. Therefore, the lawyer decided to take the risk, rescue the poor heroine from the cruel husband, let the heroine live the life he wants, and carefully planned the drama of murder, sympathy, and exemption based on the information provided by the heroine. Yes, it is not murder-perjury-bo sympathy-excussion, but murder-bo sympathy-excusion. The perjury was not part of the lawyer's plan. He was deceived by the heroine and believed that the heroine really suffered domestic violence. As I said before, lawyers are doing what they think are right, punishing the strong and helping the weak!

(It should be emphasized here that the son claimed that he was xxed by his father. The lawyer never believed this, but there was no way that things changed. The son took the place of the mother and committed the crime. Tailored, the lawyer is confident to exonerate the heroine, but this is not enough to exonerate the son. In the film, the lawyer has explained through the background narrative that the jury does not believe that someone will kill for others, and the wife suffers domestic violence Thus resisting the murder, this is to kill for oneself, can be exonerated; but the son kills to protect the mother who suffered domestic violence is to kill for others, the jury will not acquit the son. So the son took the initiative to carry out the xx In theory, he changed himself from killing for protecting his mother to killing for protecting himself, thus successfully garnering the sympathy of the jury and achieving the goal of exoneration. The lawyer knew that it was false, but he was happy to see it and even praised it in his heart. .)

As the trial progressed, the neighbor's son (instructed or deceived by the heroine), the heroine herself (a complete lie), and his son (forced to lie for her mother) all spoke in succession to confirm that the heroine suffered domestic violence, and the lawyer became more convinced Carry out his sense of justice and try his best to help the heroine and son get rid of crime. Only in this way, the lawyer will be shocked when facing his son alone at the end, and will bring a bewildered expression from his son to the hostess.

He seemed to be asking the heroine again what was going on? you lied to me? Domestic violence is fake? Have you been using my sense of justice and compassion to achieve your ulterior goals? In order to satisfy your own ugly desires, you embezzled your husband’s property and kidnapped your neighbor’s son, but you tricked me into getting ahead of you, killing people for you, and devising an exoneration trick for you? What have I done? Fortunately, I have always believed that what I did was correct. It turns out that I have become your accomplice a long time ago! ! !

The hostess relentlessly answered the lawyer's three words, thanks, see you! Leave the bewildered lawyer in place.

The Whole Truth quotes

  • Ramsey: At some point, every defense lawyer has to choose between his own need to know the truth and the best interests of his client.

  • [first lines]

    Ramsey: [narrating] When the court officer smiled at me on the morning of trial, I knew I was fucked. They weren't taking bets on this one. Mike had killed his father, Boone Lassiter - left his handprint on the knife - confessed.

    Ramsey: Half my cases had evidence this bad. I just pled them out, got manslaughter and moved on. But this was Mike, and I'd known him all his life. He was going to college and probably law school, and I doubted his mother could survive him going to the penitentiary.

    Ramsey: But I knew Boone, I had that. And I knew enough about the Lassiter household to know that Mike had a defense - if he would just talk to me.
