She broke the seemingly beautiful calm

The heroine comes from a white family, there is no poverty or domestic violence, and the married husband looks good. Why did she, who was not short of money, worked as a prostitute after the divorce, and stabbed her client to death? The people around her attributed the tragedy to mental illness and her own depravity, as if only this way could best explain all this unreasonable.
But although the heroine is sensitive to inferiority complex, she is unwilling to be manipulated and unwilling to accept labels imposed on her by others. The rumors in the courtroom, the facts of snorting gradually surfaced. The polite and positive images of stepfather, doctor, and mother. The perfect image collapsed instantly. The stepfather molested the young stepdaughter, and the mother turned a blind eye to maintain the marriage. The doctor used his senior experience to cover up his incompetence and arbitrariness. . .
The seeming calm was broken by her, because she was the victim, and she was unwilling to give in, living in the shadows. "I ask for trial" was her cry from the heart, "I am not sick, but the sickness is this hypocritical world. , I want to resist, even if I use extreme methods, I want to live my life!"
This film is a bit like an old classic reasoning film "Twelve Angry Men". Or deliberate lie, pushing an innocent person to hell. Lawyers are like sober bystanders, shed their cocoons, pierce every lie, and finally the truth comes to light.
Watching this kind of film is really enjoyable, and the aftertaste is endless.

    Claudia Draper: God, of course, she loves me. She told you that. Didn't you hear her? He wrote it down. Now you stand up there asking, "Do you love your daughter?"

You think because you toss this word "love" around like a Frisbee we're all gonna get warm and runny.
