I think the focus of this film is not the title "And Justice for All", but the joking of "And Justice for All", so perhaps I would prefer to see this film as a critical realism. . .
There are many details that can be called black humor in this film. The protagonist Arthur has a sense of justice and runs all the way, fighting hard for all kinds of people he protects, but one by one because of the various systems and people that have a lot of life. It ended in failure. The film also exposes many corruptions in American politics and law at that time, such as "lawyers" who used their positions to get a promotion, and "judges" who used their powers to create perjury, etc. A character image that is completely contrary to the traditional impression of occupation. In the last lawsuit, Arthur scolded the defendant judge he was supposed to defend and many corrupt figures on the scene. However, after he was thrown out of the court, he saw that his friend who was supposed to treat mental illness turned out to be a lawyer again. . I believe that when I saw the last scene, many people would have the same feeling as me, "This world is really crazy".
Justice for All is actually very difficult. In this world, there are too many injustices and unspoken rules. Some people have broken the law, but they still sit in their office chairs comfortably, at least for the moment. And some people suffer, but because of the incompleteness of the law, they cannot get the compensation they deserve. In this film, I saw a young man who was only imprisoned because of a car light failure, but because of the negligence of the police, he was mistakenly regarded as a dangerous person and imprisoned, while Arthur’s complaint material was imprisoned by the judge because he was a few days late. Cannot submit. After he accepted the judge's case, he finally reached an unspoken rule with him to apply for a second sentence. This young man was already overwhelmed by rape in prison. In the end, he was forced to go to the corner to take a pistol and was shot by a sniper.
I think there may be too many people with their own minds in this world. In their eyes, besides their own stakeholders, the lives and deaths of other people may not have much impact. For them, love is just loving the person they want to love, family? friend? lead? Or a junior? (Laughs) As for other people, sometimes life or death doesn't matter.
