It was difficult to decide for a while whether the star rating should be 4 stars or lower, because I felt uncomfortable several times during the viewing process (I also felt the same feeling when I watched another British drama recently - Secret No. 9). In the end, I gave 4 stars because the description of the plot itself and the acting skills of the actors are very online. Most of what bothers me is the development of the story itself (like Norman telling everyone about his story with Jeremy, like the killer hired by the party leader feels like a novice?), but after all this is a show based on a true story and not a documentary , and not because of the character's behavior as a standard for judging good or bad.
several feelings
1. Human nature is complex - Norman's timidity, bravery (in the age when homosexuality was still illegal, after being abandoned by Jeremy, he resolutely went to the police station to confess his relationship with him - of course, it may also be impulsive), truth (because he Facing his own flaws and behaviors calmly, so under the aggressive questioning of defense lawyers, he was able to answer in the most authentic language, and instead won the support of public opinion), strong (without a social security card, he lived a poor life but still, indulgent, Warmth (tears because of the kindness of strangers) and gullibility (everyone tells the story of himself and Jeremy) coexist. He is like a sentence from Maupassant's "Life" that I saw recently: "I may be so fragile Tears flowed down my face, and sometimes, I found myself gritted my teeth and walked a long way.” Jeremy is young, promising, powerful, indifferent and self-interested (abandoned Norman immediately after feeling tired, fearing that he would not be implicated. Social security card for life, marrying for voter support, trying to get rid of Norman in order to preserve his career), calm (still seems to be winning when he is in court, and his face does not show waves). Although Hugh Grant is disgusting, but It's not a likable human being to describe it that way.
2. Can you trust your best friend? Anyone who can betray you in the face of interest - in the face of immunity, your friend can testify in court that you have a motive for murder.
3. Lawyers are really good - in fact, it is similar to debate; we all make judgments based on the information we know, and what lawyers do is to present more information that is biased towards their stories to the public.
4. Justice will be late and absent - I thought that when homosexuality was just legalized, even if the judge was partial, he would politically choose the direction of the times. Unexpectedly, it was so obvious to favor the other side.
