Because American legal films are always related to various gangster crimes, they usually have a lot of slang and speak very fast. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere at the beginning of the film led the audience to the plot. Not only did they not have time to worry about whether they would not understand it, but also found that the pronunciation of the whole film was clear, pure, slow and dignified.
The film is handled very well. Compared with another rape-themed film-"The Accused", the naked depiction that I was worried about never happened. But when the splicing of a series of shots tells us that the inevitable terrible facts have happened, depression, anger, confusion, and sadness have already implied that this is another glorious hymn of individual humanity overcoming the evil of the group. Similar to "Amistad", white people must first transcend their own limitations and then save black people. But one of the highlights in the film is that defense lawyer Jake is always inspired by the defendant Karl Lee, and finally overcomes his own fears. Also defeated the inherent prejudice of the jury.
The most touching thing is the participation of assistant girls. If you don’t know much about the black movement in the United States, you probably think this kind of dedication is quite incomprehensible. Why is a girl with a superior family background, outstanding ability, outstanding appearance, knows well and has personal contact Why are you still optimistic and naive to believe in liberalism when it comes to the narrow, barbaric and brutality of a closed southern town? This is the faith and belief in justice, and this is why the United States was able to struggle out of the era of such chaotic race conflicts, North-South divisions, and rampant lynchings, and always defended the dignity of the law and the belief in building a nation.
The KKK Party, which is all white, is notorious for constantly discrediting the history of white Americans suppressing blacks, but it is also a white jury and lawyer, and judges have worked tirelessly for the rights of blacks. For hundreds of years, people's conflicts, misunderstandings, and prejudices will not come for no reason, nor will they disappear for no reason. The compromise and introspection of the whites are indispensable, and the progress and tolerance of the blacks are indispensable. At any time, as long as we still have humanity and affirm the value of life, family, and peace, ignorance will not raging and spreading.
