justice is a gamble

Top actors, top writers, top movies. I like this movie very much, every actor is so appropriate, every plot is so wonderful and delicate.
We are accustomed to evil retribution, and good retribution, and we are rarely willing to explore in depth who is the real murderer. When we saw the behavior of the two soldiers at the beginning of the film, we intuitively believed that this was a vicious incident, even if they did not deliberately want it. Murder is also the result of their malicious bullying of others. But it seems that everything is not so simple. When everyone wants to simply define this matter, everyone goes back to their own homes and finds their mothers, everything is going to be all right, things suddenly become complicated, the heroine refuses to give up, the soldiers Don't give up for your own dignity. The masses were dissatisfied, "Why do you feel that you are innocent, that is, you killed people, but you are too embarrassed to complain?" The matter is not that simple. Red, you'll see that things are not that simple. The whole case was just revealed to the audience little by little.
The army is indeed a special place. This place is mysterious and solemn. We know very little about them. The only thing that may be brought back is a little knowledge of discipline. It is this kind of unspoken rule that is unclear but actually exists, which makes our justice impossible to assert, because without evidence, we cannot win the trust of others. The little cousin said it well: It does't matter what i believe, it does matter what i can prove. It is the same throughout the ages, if you want to fight against those deep rivers flowing under the society, what you must have is ability, courage and luck.
On the other side, No. 1 shows the image of a bad guy. He is arrogant, arrogant, and disrespectful. To his subordinates, he is terrifying. He is a dutiful soldier, but he is not a dutiful citizen. The heroine is A rigorous, down-to-earth, serious and persistent character, but too rigorous, lacking a hint of cunning and agility. Her rigor and courage are her strengths, but also her weaknesses. The male protagonist, handsome, smart, willful, cynical, but in fact has a heart that is afraid of failure, he has been running away, although he is smart, but he is afraid of failure, he has an excellent father, so he can not accept his own failure, so A group of people, the game between them, there is no romantic and warm picture, only each other's choices and thinking. The film of more than 2 hours shows a complete case in a compact way, which is thought-provoking.
Although there is a deliberate exaggeration at the end of the film, it will not detract from the meaning of the film. This is a confrontation between people and between people and self. It is a multiple-choice question, but in fact, there is no correct answer in life. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders, but the duty of a soldier is to protect the weak and the weak. There is no answer in life, but everyone must take responsibility for their own actions, believe what they insist on, and do not surrender to themselves.
Justice is a gamble, which comes from the belief in one's own heart, and is the power of justice.

    9 points. A great trial process, can those in power be arrogant and hold the power to cast spells? The army defending the homeland and defending the country should naturally be respected, but the dark and criminal behaviors of some of the army are also unknown to us. Both Cruise and Demi Moore performed quite well. In addition to their stunning appearance, they also performed vividly in a large number of lines. Nicholson's acting skills were even more impeccable.

    An extra one and a half stars for liking court dramas. It turns out that Americans also have the Chinese-style art of speaking: "Aren't you going to go out for a cup of coffee?", "You are overkill for this kind of ordinary small case", and the female major is just a clueless person. The bug in the plot is too obvious. The colonel knows how to forge a transfer order and tamper with the flight records, how can he admit it in court, and how can he show legal illiteracy when he is detained?

A Few Good Men quotes

  • Galloway: [going over their defense strategy, in his apartment] What about motive?

    Kaffee: We're a little weak on motive, they had one.

    Galloway: Just because someone has a motive, it doesn't mean they're guilty.

    Kaffee: Relax, we'll deal with the fence line shooting when it comes up. For now, we'll start with intent. I don't know what made Santiago die, I don't want to know. I just want to be able to show it could've been something other than poison. Jo, talk to doctors, find out everything there is on lactic acidosis.

  • Kaffee: [to Sam and JoAnne] They drew the court members this afternoon. Seven men, two women, five Navy, four Marines. All officers with line experience. Neither of the women have children. So that's a bad break. There 's nothing we can do. My father always said a jury trial is not just about the law. It's about "assigning blame". Santiago's dead, and he shouldn't be. These nine people are going to insist that someone be "blamed" for that. Ross is handing them our clients. We're gonna hand them Kendrick. This is about a sales pitch. It's not going to won by the law, It's gonna be won by the lawyers. So remember, poker faces. Don't flinch in front of the court members. Something doesn't go our way, don't hang your head, don't shift in your seat, don't scribble furiously. Whatever happens, you have to look like it's exactly what you knew would happen. If you pass me documents, Do it swiftly and don't look over anxious.
