Fiona, the heroine of the film, is a judge who is called My Lady in court. She has to try endless and complicated cases. At the same time, she has to face the media accusations of grandstanding in the society. It may also include the plaintiffs and defendants. hysteria.

Back home, her husband Jack gradually came to the brink of endurance because of her busyness and alienation. As a result, Fiona had to force herself to suppress her depression and hold out meticulous rationality.

At this moment, a difficult case appeared: the young Adam was suffering from leukemia. In order to treat him, the hospital hoped to give him a blood transfusion. But the sect that Adam’s family believes believes that blood transfusion is an act of polluting the soul, and instead of tainting faith, it is better to stick to the faith and go to heaven.

As a judge, should the law override the will of citizens in order to protect life, or should he respect the will and allow a young life to pass away?

Considering that Adam was approaching 18 years old at this time, Fiona decided to go to the hospital to personally understand his wishes. The plot that was originally a headache and chest tightness, so I left it aside, and there was an unexpected change.

It's like tea in a pot, being cooked warmly, and when the time comes, the aroma will gradually diffuse -the production team has such a sophisticated skill, why should we not be patient to listen to them?

What made me unforgettable in the film was that Fiona sang "Down by the Salley Garden" improvisation twice, which was so beautiful and shocking.

At that time, Emma Thompson was nearly 60 years old, but she was enough to convince me that there is a beautiful age for an age, that is, the so-called gift of years. Only when I feel it, I will be amazed and agree that time is definitely not ours. enemy.

Occupation can indeed train people to be extremely rational, but the magic of feelings is that they can get people three feet off the ground, out of routine, out of mediocrity. Perhaps no matter what age or status, no one can predict when, where, and in what form love will come.

    Adam was thrown into this ordinary world too hastily from the shelter provided by his faith for more than ten years, and the ardent and romantic soul can't bear such desolation.

    Some movies are made very well, and some are just like I really like it, but I can’t say the reason. Just like this one is very complicated, delicate and beautiful. Every shot is worthy of recollection. For example, the poem by Yeats in front of the bed, such as the sudden kiss in the rainy night. From the novel to the actors to the camera, it presents a story full of emotion but restraint so harmoniously, like a cup full of water but not a drop of water spilling out to pay tribute
