Never before has a lawsuit brought such pleasure, but it made me feel it in the movie.
First-degree murder is the highest criminal law in the United States, and can be directly punished by death. Henry will face the recognition of almost everyone in the society that he is a prisoner, and he is a murderer, but lawyer James has found a lot of doubts. pressure, insisted on resisting the lawsuit. The fact is that Henry was really wronged. He only stole five yuan because he bought something for his sister to eat. After being detained in this prison, he became a prisoner and a murderer. His kind heart has changed. It has become like this, which is inseparable from the prison and the management. James saw this with his keen eyes. But Henry was fed up with the darkness and torture of the prison and just wanted to die. This was a conflict with James, who always wanted to win the case. In order to relieve this embarrassing situation, James not only called a prostitute for Henry, but also invited his sister, but none of them changed Henry's determination to die. The most exciting thing is that in the final trial, James made Henry his last witness. Everyone thought he had figured it out and wanted to lose the lawsuit, but everyone was wrong. James used the aggressive method to successfully get Henry to tell the truth. Expressed the anger in his heart.
A combination of previous trials and a final trial finally won the support of the judge and jury and decided to conduct a wake-up call on the prison. The victory of the lawsuit had to be attributed to James' perseverance and the lawyer's faith. But the ending is sad. Henry just returned to prison and will be locked in a small dark room, so he decided to commit suicide, but he wrote the word "victory" on the ground with a stone, indicating that he was dying.
The film itself is very simple, it is a lawsuit, but it left the audience with a profound impact on the country and politicians at that time. Henry's last words were inspiring: act, I won! Reaction: You can never take the fruits of victory away from me! These are the last words Henry left for everyone.
I love this movie, I love good movies!
