From the perspective of the film, because it is an adaptation of a true story, it is unlikely that there will be dramatic changes, but the news material of the year is cleverly mixed into the film, making people feel that the film is very real. This approach also makes many viewers feel overly straightforward and boring. However, the wonderful performances of the two leading actors greatly enhanced the film, especially the large speeches at the hearing. They were full of emotions and relaxed, which well explained the mentality and coping of the two.
This incident of the year may have been Rashomon so far. Both sides held their own words and lacked clear evidence. Moreover, both parties were still alive. Justice Thomas was still the current justice, so the film did not give his own opinion. in conclusion. However, the film's point of view is mainly Professor Hill, and the performance is far more than that of Justice Thomas. The implicit tendency is very obvious.
In fact, although Justice Thomas passed the Senate's nomination, his personality and dignity were seriously affected. It is not an exaggeration to say that his reputation was discredited. It also caused Justice Thomas to not speak in court for a long time after taking office. Vigorously attack the incompetence of the office of justice. However, we can see from the resume of Justice Thomas that he is an American lawyer with rich experience and legal literacy. But as a black man, he holds a strong conservative stance, which is relatively rare among black Americans. What he experienced when he was nominated has further affected his position and mentality, so in the Supreme Court, his influence has not been demonstrated, and his literacy and knowledge have been repeatedly questioned by the outside world.
Therefore, the nomination and entry of Justice Thomas to the Supreme Court is both a success and a tragedy for him.
