Sharks in Dirty Water - "The Rainmaker"

For a long time, under the influence of TVB dramas, I always felt that lawyers who fight for bad people are not good people, and lawyers who fight for good people should be loved. Until I watched this movie, I didn't know that to a certain extent. It gave me the illusion of justice. In fact, it was very one-sided.
Lawyers should stand with their clients at all times, and judging is a matter for jurors and presiding judges. When a lawyer starts to judge his client, he can no longer be regarded as a qualified lawyer, just like as a videographer, when he witnesses a murder case, as an ordinary person, he should call the police. As a videographer, he is the best All you should do is take pictures.
I know this statement is very inhumane, and some people may even say it is very radical, but once judgment is involved, people will inevitably make mistakes, because it is really difficult to define good people.
If a seriously ill family member goes to buy medicine with the life-saving money for his family and is robbed on the way, how innocent is this person! If he wants to sue the robber, find a lawyer, the lawyer happens to be the kind of lawyer who advertises as a good person. He is about to take over, and the robber also finds him. The robber is also trying to save the old mother who is seriously ill. I have to rob as a last resort, so how can I tell the difference between good and bad at this time?
Although the lawyer hired by the insurance company in "Rain Maker" looks hideous and is not as lovable as the lawyer played by Matt Damon, you must know that in this lawsuit, it is not the individual who wins, but justice. The law protects all the people, and although it is sometimes unfair to individual cases, its formulation is based on the protection of all people, so it is relatively fair.
The reason why it feels unfair is because our justice has not been achieved, and it is not the law to blame.
