He chose to die, and he was unwilling to admit his past self

There are a lot of doubts about this movie. Why was Judy willing to mistake it at the beginning? How did Richard Gere go from bad to good? Does he have such big consequences for acknowledging past identities? Why did the lame help him exterminate the pests?

From the beginning, the husband and wife slept apart. I thought they were separated for too long and couldn't get used to it. They didn't look like dry wood and fire. In fact, Judy already knew that it was not. Why not reveal it? Maybe she and the child need a man, otherwise the lame man will settle in. It can be seen that Judy doesn't like that man, and the later episodes also show that the man is not a good person. It's not easy for Judy to accept a stranger in a short period of time, and she's been single for too long.

A man who made money and murdered turned into a good man who benefited the people and liberated black slaves. The change was incredible, especially when the whole village handed over the only valuable thing in the family to him, and he completed the test.

The courtroom scenes are the best, especially the part where Richard defends himself without his lawyer. Judy has the winning ticket, because his wife knows her man best, and she says it's hard evidence if it isn't. Richard didn't do this, and actually persuaded the judge and Judy. I began to think that there would be a miracle, and someone shouted "keep people under the knife" from a distance. But no, so what was the point of his death? It's just the land issue, I don't have a deep understanding of it. If he is fake, then the agreement he signed with the villagers is illegal, so what does it matter? Judy is still there, can't women inherit property?

After all, they have 2 children and are still so young. Good days are coming. Only this is in doubt.

    The film has a strong retro style, the plot is quite satisfactory, the rhythm is slow, and it is as warm as water. In addition, I don't think the man finally took the charge in order to "leave the best side of Jack to others". When he distributed the land to the neighbors, he did it as the master "Jack Mussosby". , if he admits that he is not Jack, it means that all the documents for his land division can be invalidated, people must return the land again, and his efforts, people's lives are all over.

    I've never seen such a decent title translation. Calden, and nothing ever beats a stubborn idiot man. Herr Bengsch's courtroom scenes are amazing, and Jodie Foster's female voice is surprisingly soft and natural. It was only later that I realised that she was Hansi Jochmann - indeed not the same as the actresses who voiced Julia Roberts.
