You and I are both accomplices -

the lives of most of the outraged Lincolns needless to say, are commemorated by all Americans in pursuit of liberty and equality. Lincoln was a devout Christian, and even nearly became a pastor. His short life was completed in prayer. In the face of a tough southern enemy and a tough wife, he relied on prayer to draw strength from God.

However, President Lincoln's spirit in heaven, did not expect his death, a group of angry people pushed an innocent mother to the position of an accomplice and hanged it. And this mother has been pushed to death step by step in order to cover one of the real criminals, her son. The thread of the hidden love of mother and son is a thread of redemption. And the court's pursuit of the murderer is a clue to pursue and kill, and the defense lawyer's efforts to defend his mother is a clue to maintain justice. Characters of various colors make their debut under the interweaving of these clues.

After the old drama bone Dreyfus turned to the director as an actor, the films he made became better and better. This film is really interesting, and he explained a grand theme in a restrained manner. Tribute to the director and screenwriter for mastery of pacing and story development.

In the film, for the death of a great character, the great leader, Lincoln, most people's reaction is to be provoked, and they can't wait to find the murderer immediately and kill it quickly. However, people are in a paradox, whether to rashly make a wrongful conviction to make people angry and give an explanation to the public, or to insist on the truth to protect everyone's rights according to the justice of the constitution? The former is very contradictory to the equality and justice that Lincoln advocated during his lifetime. Who can withstand the pressure of the masses and speak the truth?

Especially an outraged crowd who, while expressing their anger at criminals, are taking a stand, yes. There are also times of anger in our great nation. In that crowd, there may be you, me, and him. We are sometimes described as the masses who do not know the truth, sometimes as the onlookers, sometimes as the conscientious crowd, as numb spectators, and sometimes even as thugs.

In any case, this film taught me that it's hard to be a truth-teller under pressure, but even harder to be a sane, righteous-valued mass. A philosopher said: In the eyes of God, the best deed of human beings is also a dirty garment. The justice of man is the justice that favors the self, and justice sometimes becomes an adornment that we advertise.

Gaddafi was dead, and people suddenly discovered that the crowd who were chasing him should be the same group of people who cheered him not long ago. A famous Weibo blogger said that Lao Ka was deceived by the crowd's performance.

On the same day, Xiao Yiyi from Foshan also left us. Please don’t condemn those passers-by who saw death in the surveillance video. You must know that in the vast land of the motherland, where there is no video, in a corner in need of help, It is very likely that the people passing by are also you, me and him. We are also very angry, why no one stopped? !


As we all know, Christ Jesus was crucified by the Jews for the simple reason that he claimed to be the true God and the Messiah who saved the world. In the crowd shouting and crucifying him, please note that there are also those who saw him perform miracles, thanked, cheered, and were willing to follow him. These people saw what Jesus did with their own eyes, but they still refused to recognize him and even killed him. Is it the instigation of the Pharisees or the swaying and numbness of their hearts? Is it because the Holy Spirit did not enlighten or did not have enough courage? And Jesus' beloved disciples fled in fright.

I know that I am the person in the crowd. When faced with choices, some are afraid, some are hesitant, some are concerned about the eyes of others, and some are wise to protect themselves. However, we need to know, what do we want, are we defending the truth or what is in my personal interest? We believe everything we do in hiding in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, even if it's a slogan, a complaint, a stone, a judgment, do these have eyes watching? It was a pair of eyes full of compassion and kindness.

Just like the sympathetic eyes that flashed past Lincoln after being shot in the film, that sympathy from Jesus on the cross has passed through thousands of years, still watching this chaotic world.

Before the infinitely just and absolutely holy God, you, me, we are but accomplices.

    A suffocating sense of despair permeates the entire film. The story stems from the most controversial case in American judicial history. Although we all know that mary will definitely die in the end, we don't know that there was such a person in the trial who ran for her. Desperately, the plot is getting better and better, the actors' performances are very down-to-earth, excellent work

    When the ruler tried to appease people's anger by brutally killing the enemy, he had already fallen below the bottom line of human nature, but made a bigger mistake in dealing with the problem.
