What to watch: Script/Performance

The Trial of the Chicago Seven, written and directed by Alan Sorkin, is a historical legal film set against the backdrop of the 1968 Vietnam War, telling a notorious trial in the anti-war movement. The trial is shortened to 5 months in length of 2 hours, with multiple parallel spaces, interspersed with the three lines of in-court, out-of-court and former love, debate and flashback cross narrative, the lines are sharp, powerful, group-like, masculine. Each has a personality, and a person has a body.

Watching the actor Biao play, rely on the bones of the old play to overwhelm the stage.

Because of his preference for small freckles, he waited patiently, but there was not much drama. He was very sorry, or thought it was Hayden's cowardice. He did not expect that he was only admired by the judge and made a closing speech with the names of 4,752 soldiers killed in the Vietnam War! Calmly, the heat wave was ignited, and the salute to the soldiers made the conscientious people on both sides find the melting point, standing up, and exiting, this big reversal is really charming! The comment said that Hayden, who was re-elected for the sixth term, "never lost his passion for pursuing social justice", and this film is true! It can be seen that the screenwriter has carefully arranged the shaping of many male characters and the establishment of mutual relationships, which is really wonderful! Little freckles are unpopular in the end, and a pair of eyes can talk.

Look at the villain Judge Hoffman again, show your qualifications, drag! Every time a contempt of court is remembered, and a person is bound at every turn, and the final subtitles report: annual rating, rated as "unqualified" by 78% of Chicago trial lawyers! This is the law enforcement officer! Complete loss of credibility. After watching so many court trial films, it is still rare to see negative teaching materials that are so self-willed and not even fake. This character is a bit badly written, but he is very "human". He always holds the sword of law, which is Shangfang's sword, and it is very useful for me.

And Mark Rylance, I can't forget his back-spin in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night". It depends entirely on performance, not on image at all. The old man pretends to be a girl, but it just hits the point of laughter, which is very similar to Bridge of Spies. Rudolf Abel, a Soviet intelligence officer in , is very different.

What to watch: The script, the performance, and the many male stars.

    The rhythm of the narrative is really good, full of musical rhythm

    Sharp editing, slick script and machine-gun dialogue are Sorkin's forte, and trial court scenes and actual riot clips flash back and cross narratives. "If you want to bleed, then let the blood flow through the whole city." In the end, it was discovered that it was our blood. The government had already installed undercover agents. The prosecutors belonged to them, the witnesses belonged to them, and the judges belonged to them. The trial was nothing but blood. Procedural justice in form. I really cried when I saw it at the end. Just like an advocate, the flower of justice blooms above public power. Like a Persian class, I read out the list of more than 4,000 martyrs. Contempt, my contempt for the government is not worth mentioning. 9
