The Conspirator

The Conspirator

Just finished watching THE CONSPIRATOR 2011. A very thought-provoking movie. But the length of more than 2 hours, I guess you don't have time to watch it. So please forgive me for giving you some spoilers. This content is about MARY SURRATT in the assassination of Lincoln, who provided accommodation to the assassins and is accused of participating in the assassination conspiracy. The story of her defense attorney who was forced to defend her reluctantly at the beginning to her full strength at the end.

film shows how fairness and justice are trampled on by the country’s political machinations, and it also shows a mother who gave up her precious life to protect her son.
Fei 12:19:34
Defense lawyers ruled out strong authority, relatives and friends abandoned The interference succeeded in acquitting MARY by the majority of the members of the military court at the time. But because of the interference of the Minister of Defense, the court declared MARY guilty.
Fei 12:21:06 The
defense attorney tried again to win a civil court trial. But at the last minute, a presidential decree canceled the civil court trial, and MARY was hanged anyway.

This defense attorney, FERDERICK AIKEN, finally left the legal profession to become the first editor of The Washington Post.
Fei 12:24:39
A year later, the United States passed the law, and citizens will no longer be tried by military courts.
Fei 12:27:55
The most touching thing about this film is that the defense lawyers overcame the interference of their own private interests and emotional biases to serve the real Righteousness to strive for sacrifice.

The Conspirator quotes

  • [first lines]

    Frederick Aiken: Two men standing at the Pearly Gates. The first man says, "How'd you die?" Second says, "I froze to death. How 'bout you?" And the, uh, second man says, "Well, I thought my... my wife was being unfaithful to me, so I ran all the way home. And burst into the bedroom. She just..."

  • Mary Surratt: My husband died a drunk, Mr. Aiken, and left me loads of debt. I had to support my family, so I rented rooms to boarders. Those men were customers, nothing more.

    Frederick Aiken: And you never considered their allegiances?

    Mary Surratt: I didn't ask about their allegiances.

    Frederick Aiken: What about yours, ma'am?

    Mary Surratt: I'm a Southerner. I'm a Catholic and a devoted mother above all else. But I am no assassin.

    Frederick Aiken: Your freedom is gonna require greater assurances than that.

    Mary Surratt: Then you tell me what I should say to those generals.

    Frederick Aiken: Oh, you can't say a thing. You're prohibited from testifying in your own defense. Perhaps your son could speak for you. Any idea where he's hiding?

    Mary Surratt: No, I don't.

    Frederick Aiken: All right. Is there anyone who will give your version of events?

    Mary Surratt: You mean the truth?

    Frederick Aiken: Well, obviously the government believes your version is not the truth.

    Mary Surratt: Based on what?

    Frederick Aiken: Their not releasing their list of witnesses or the evidence they'll use against you.

    Mary Surratt: And can they do that?

    Frederick Aiken: This kind of proceeding, they can do to you whatever they want.

    Mary Surratt: Well, then what difference does that make? Those generals have made up their minds. I can tell by the way they look at me.

    Frederick Aiken: The way they look at you?

    Mary Surratt: Just the same way you're looking at me.
