Why not become a lawyer

Tressie 2022-03-21 09:02:15

A novice solves a case that shocked the legal profession and even the whole country, a novice uses his conscience to challenge an already corrupt and dirty industry, and a novice who has made a name for himself at the beginning of his career has to reconsider the direction of his life.
This is what the movie "Rainmaker" presents to us.
The movie is long and revolves around one main case, interspersed with several other minor cases. The plot is relatively compact, and the protagonist also shows every aspect of human nature to the audience when the protagonist is running around the case. The wealthy insurance company, the experienced lawyer who has lost the standard of human beings, the suffering and helpless victim, the tortured wife who can't bear it, give up Kind old women with unfilial children and so on. It seems that a place with a lawyer is destined to be less joyful, and the protagonist, with the belief that he adheres to his own principles and never yields to pressure, after many twists and turns, finally seeks justice for the victim, looking at those grateful faces, somewhat Comfort, but, can this be considered a happy ending? Is this an inspiration for life?
At least I don't think so.
Although the protagonist finally gained a huge reputation, he was confused about it. Continuing to work hard in the legal world will bring him endless benefits. However, he is likely to lose himself and become one of the lawyers he despises. He loves the profession of lawyers, it is impossible to abandon it completely, to become an educator? He thought about it, but he still didn't find the answer, and the film ended there.
From the time I face my future career choices, I have often heard that lawyers and doctors abroad are coveted professions, with high status and high compensation. If you join them, you will get everything you want. When I was applying for university, I was hesitant to choose a major in law, but after many references, I gave up the idea. The reason is very simple. In China, lawyers do not have as many demands and good treatment in foreign countries. If a fresh graduate wants to get along in the legal world without a good background or, to put it bluntly, strong interpersonal relationships, then you are doomed. He has chosen a very difficult path for himself.
After going through some things in college, I'm glad that I didn't choose law at first, not because the major is not good, but because I found that I really don't fit in this profession. I am a person who is used to being lazy. My life is messy and unorganized. I am not so enthusiastic about many things. , lose interest and let them go. These are not small obstacles in the field of law. If there is no passion and no motivation, naturally there will be no good returns. If it is not suitable, it is not suitable. I am very happy to find this, but I am also very happy. Frustrated.
I admit that I am a complete money-worshipper, and I yearn for those lavish lives, because I never had them. I still have the conscience and humanity emphasized in "The Rainmaker", and the moral code will not be lost. However, will this society allow such people to exist? If so, what class would he be in? I don't think it's the powerful and powerful. It's not that I'm pessimistic or exaggerating, but this is the reality.
The girlfriend in the same bedroom rejected a boy's love, and denied him again and again. She couldn't completely cut off the relationship with him because of her work needs. This became her distress. I told her not to treat him. So ruthless, didn't he help you a lot, because he has many opportunities that others envy, and you will definitely use him in the future, so don't do things like that. After saying these words, my girlfriend looked at me in surprise and said, didn't I sell myself? ! I laughed all of a sudden, you didn't promise him anything, just let you keep in touch, how is it betrayal of yourself? The girlfriend was silent for a while, sighed, and said, yes...
Now I am very utilitarian and can't go back to the past, but I don't think there is anything wrong with this, we are all struggling in society, a commoner, Without a prominent background, I can only rely on myself to work hard. Maybe you despise my ideas, but I still have to walk the road myself, and no one can help.

Perhaps, there is a lawyer in each of us, a contradiction between conscience and utility.
Tell me, when was your first sold out?

    From the beginning to the end of the two main lines, life 94 is like this. It is impossible to be messed up in the end, and everything is impossible to achieve, but to continue, the key is that you know what is right and do what is right. The big director is really not covered, he won't tell you that you won 9HAPPY ENDING, and you won't know what day you will wake up, and you will become the enemy you have defeated..

    Ma's young performance did not bring extra points to the film. But I have to say that this is a good movie. The fledgling youth and the persistence of legal ideals are the counterweights against this greedy society. You can throw away your job, you can throw away money, but you can't lose your soul. No matter how the people around you are mixed with society, you must not forget who you are. The ideals of law and journalism are exactly the same.

  • [first lines]

    Rudy Baylor: My father hated lawyers all his life. He wasn't a great guy, my old man. He drank and beat up my mother; he beat me up too. So you might think I became a lawyer just to piss him off. But you'd be wrong. I wanted to be a lawyer ever since I read about the Civil Rights lawyers in the 50s and 60s, and the amazing uses they found for the law. They did what a lot of people thought was the impossible. They gave lawyers a good name. And so I went to law school. And it did piss my father off - he was pissed off anyway.
