The only reason for the rape: there are rapists

The inspection lights in the hospital are very dazzling. When the doctor asks questions, does Sarah feel in a daze that she is the criminal being interrogated? The title of the movie is The accused, who is The accused? Are the three abusers? Or the three instigators? Or Sarah? She was accuseed because of "disorderly", and because she was not a perfect victim, sometimes she even felt that she was too low-educated and was accuseed?

Although the results of the movie are good and the bad guys are punished, the data on the black background and white characters at the end tells us that reality is sometimes not so good.

In reality, not everyone is as brave and determined as Sarah, and has a strong mentality; in reality, not all lawyers and police officers are so sympathetic and willing to take the risk of losing their jobs to help...

Crimes in the movie happen in reality, as well as the humiliation of slut, and it has not been resolved now. The comments below this movie are even analyzing how Sarah did something wrong.

I remember in the video of station B that I saw hundreds of people who went to the bar and got corpses. It is definitely not a good girl. I have seen comments that I feel that I have stayed in school and are almost unclean. The reality is the same as the movie...

A very touching comment: The 1988 movie is about 2021. When will there be a better world? When can we move forward? Guess we will never know.

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!
