A talented law school student, her girlfriend (or girlfriend's sister? I don't remember very well) was killed in a shooting case. Her town sued the gun manufacturer. Let's just say it) The manipulation of the jury put the town into bankruptcy, and the lawsuit was unquestionably lost. So the brave young man decided to take revenge in his own way. He followed the footsteps of the big villain, participating or preparing to participate in one case after another. Finally, his chance came. With the cooperation of his girlfriend, he allowed the jury to make a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, allowing the victims of the gun case to receive a large amount of compensation, and giving the gun manufacturer a hard lesson. However, this is not the result he wants. What he wants is actually to let the big villain quit this arena forever. He did, knocking him down in the way his enemies were best at. At the end of the film, the hero and heroine return gracefully, and the villain clamors in vain in the tavern. What will be his fate? The movie has left us room for imagination, maybe we will be hunted down by gun manufacturers, maybe we will go into hiding, maybe we will be revived... In short, there are many possibilities, isn't there a saying, "Whatever can't kill me Yes, it will make me stronger." Maybe this cunning villain will practice his jury manipulation skills even more proficiently.
So, this movie seems to be about justice on the surface, but in fact it is for self-interest, and this kind of public revenge behavior makes people feel that something is wrong. In the final analysis, the hero and heroine and the villain are actually the same raccoon dog. What is really pitiful is the manipulated public opinion (the jury).
There is nothing new under the sun, and everyone's buttocks are not clean. Let these flawed people sit together in a meeting, discuss and discuss, can it really show justice? In the movie, is there any reasonable basis for the jury to finally award 110 million in punitive damages? Have they considered the consequences of such a judgment? No, they didn't. As a group/group of ordinary people, all they can do is rely on intuition and common sense. Americans regard the jury system as the essence of democracy, but I am afraid that they have realized that now, no matter what they put into the hands of the people, the result must be a surprise!
People cannot be trusted because of human weakness, because of human flaws. As an ordinary person, we recognize, respect and understand that greed, lust, selfishness, etc. are our innate attributes. Will these attributes be destroyed by the gathering of people? I do not believe. The despicableness in these bones can be hidden at most, but it can never be eliminated. They will come out at a critical moment, give those false fantasies a hard blow, puncture those colorful soap bubbles, and let our life return to its original state. Maybe there are some saints who are willing to sacrifice themselves and fulfill others. Maybe some people will have a moment of conscience, but in the face of reality, only reality is the most important thing.
The people cannot be trusted, and even more untrustworthy than the people are those who manipulate public opinion. The people's untrustworthiness remains in an unconscious state, and those who deliberately guide public opinion are the most despicable. However, those who manipulate public opinion are often those who control resources, or in other words, people who control reality. In front of them, the unconscious people are just a mess of sand. There are empty numbers, but they are meaningless, unless they start a new people's war and completely reshuffle , it is possible for the people to break this barrier and see their own destiny for a moment. But history is nothing more than one cycle after another. After a short period of sobriety, the people will become a flock of guided sheep again.
So, don't cheer for the apparent victory of the case, no matter how great the interests are, it has nothing to do with you. Don't rejoice that good has triumphed over evil, because no one knows who is right and who is evil. Onlookers, cheer as much as you can, and enjoy the happiness that belongs to you. Before you are sent to the slaughterhouse, you are just a sheep.
Or, in fact, you are just nothing.
Ps, I still like the male lead. It seems that "Deadly ID" is also starring him, and "Prison in the Air"? It looks like a small sufferer, why is it so lovable. Apart from Edward Norton and Al Pacino, this is probably the third actor I have a clear crush on. As for the heroine, the impression is that the face is very square and the legs are beautiful? Well, the two legs are tightly clamped together, leaving no gaps, hehe, I like it.
