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.

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.

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.

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.

    It's drowsy to watch, people who are not familiar with history can't afford to hurt.

The Conspirator quotes

  • Frederick Aiken: Ma'am, all I know about you is what I read in the papers. It's not flattering.

  • Frederick Aiken: I think she's as guilty as Booth. How can I possibly defend her?

    Reverdy Johnson: You assume that she's guilty, like the Commission. You don't have any proof.

    Frederick Aiken: Proof or no, don't give a damn what happens to her.

    Reverdy Johnson: I tell you what. If you can prove that she's guilty, you can take yourself off the case.

    Frederick Aiken: Thank you, sir.

    Reverdy Johnson: You think it'll be that easy?

    Frederick Aiken: I know it.
