Watching such a film now is more of a contradictory feeling. First of all, I feel the aesthetics of court-themed movies. A two-and-a-half-hour work fifteen years ago. It can expand the characters and social relationships in detail. Of course, it has a slightly procrastinated part, and the main theme is also very appealing. Strong, but at least the role level is impressive under the performance of many good actors. Now I will give you two hours at most. The most important thing is to attract the eyeballs. The character setting, plot extraction, and emotional catharsis are all more fast-food, which can be seen by comparing the same starring in last year's "Lincoln Lawyer".
But on the other hand, when you see Octavia Spencer in this year’s Oscars for Best Supporting Actress, only one line appears in the film, you can’t help but think of last year’s popular "Help", which is the same as this film. This kind of continuation, the same background and subject matter, the appearance of such a film in the past few years will inevitably evoke the agitation of the kind heart of ordinary people. You have to admire a certain value orientation of Hollywood's banner that affects the world.
