Return to the beginning of humanity

Originally bought because of Spacey, even though he was only a supporting role.

A few impressions: Ashley Judd is so beautiful and simple, I didn’t recognize it at first; the content is not as cruel and violent as the title, and even a bit sensational to me; I don’t agree with Sandra Bullock’s performance, but neither Disgusting, people are very cute.

In life, many things are blurred in concepts and blurred boundaries. Feelings are fleeting, irrespective of right and wrong, and subvert principles. We can easily dissociate our persistence and beliefs. It doesn't matter whether we are right or wrong, as long as we know how we feel at this moment and don't deceive ourselves. Do it when you think about it, and don't regret it when you do it. If Samuel Jackson was given some more time, would he still think like that, act like that, do not regret it. Killing a person who insulted his daughter but was found not guilty, and the identity of a black person complicates the trial of the case. Let me put aside the slightly complicated plot, and was moved by Matthew McConaughey's last statement, which completely returned to the beginning of human nature, silent and shocking.

I would like to watch it again.

    It feels a bit top-heavy and the script is not smooth enough. The film involves some legal procedures, how the lawyers of both sides choose the members of the jury, and the final closing statement is also very moving. When can Chinese judges truly become your honour.

A Time to Kill quotes

  • Jake Tyler Brigance: If this is a party, boys, where's the chips and beer? Otherwise, your being here seems a bit like illegal client solicitation, what with Carl Lee already having a lawyer and all.

  • Lucien Wilbanks: You wanted this case, well you've got it. It isn't easy saving the world even one case at a time, but you stick with it. You just might have a knack for it. Don't do what I did. Don't quit.

    Jake Tyler Brigance: What are you talking about, quit? You're a hero, Lucien.

    Lucien Wilbanks: Hero my ass. Do you think the world needed me beating cops heads on that picket line? I was needed here. In that courtroom. And I let them push me, I gave them an excuse to kick me out and now I can never plead a case in there again. But you can. You're an attorney. Be proud. You job is to find justice no matter how well she may hide herself from you. So you go on in there and you do your job.
