Film Review Chapter 546 "Just Mercy" - A Fair Price
The film "Just Mercy" premiered in the United States on January 10.
The film is starring Michael Jordan.
Based on real events, the film tells the story of Brian Stevenson (played by Jordan), a black lawyer who graduated from Harvard Law School, defending innocent black death row inmates for free.
Is America really completely fair, just, and democratic?
If your answer is "yes", you are dead wrong.
The film tells you that one out of every nine death row inmates in the United States is innocent.
One-ninth of the death row inmates have been killed by innocent people and become scapegoats; while the real criminals or murderers are still at large.
Black Americans are often viewed by police officers with tinted glasses.
The incompetent sheriff arbitrarily arrested an innocent black man (Walter McMillan in this film), coerced and lured other death row inmates to give false testimony, quickly convicted the innocent McMillan, and prepared to send McMillan to the death row.
In the United States, only the rich can afford a famous defense attorney.
A lawyer often prides himself on his ability to acquit apparently guilty defendants.
Arrested innocent black defendants are often sent to the death row because they have no money to hire defense lawyers who are proficient in business.
The male protagonist is a graduate of Harvard Law School and could have found a high-paying and worry-free position, but the male protagonist insists on helping innocent death row inmates defend for free.
The mercy of justice is priceless in the heart of the male protagonist.
But sadly, the wrongful imprisonment of black death row inmates is gratuitous.
Milan did not receive any compensation for six years in prison. If the same incident happened to a white man, the white man who was wrongfully imprisoned could live without food and clothing for the rest of his life.
In contrast, McMillan's six years in prison can be said to be lucky.
The end of the film tells everyone that the other defendant of the male protagonist has a new life after 30 years of wrongful imprisonment.
Righteous mercy is far from being measured by money.
The hero's life realm is admired by every audience.
A similar good film is "Marshall" starring "Black Panther" ( film review No. 141 ).
I recommend this film starring "Golden Leopard" Michael Jordan to everyone.
Happy midweek everyone.
