? "Justice of Mercy"

The opposite of poverty is not wealth, but lack of justice. The theme of this movie is uncommon. It is adapted from the memoirs of human rights lawyer Brian. It is about a black lawyer who graduated from Harvard University and resonated with death row inmates because of an internship. He followed the original intention of "learning the law in order to help more people." And the story of going to the southern United States to provide legal aid to prisoners on death row. The film is mainly about the difficult case he encountered: the defense of a black man who was identified as a murderer only because of his skin color. The period is interspersed with the changes in everyone's attitude due to the incident. There is no turning point, because it is a movie, so everything seems to be expected. What moved me were a few small details. The assistant who smoked and said that he would not withdraw because of the threat of paranoia, the wronged offender sitting at the door of the execution room, the strong knocking sound from the top of the electric shock equipment, and the prosecutor who finally admitted that he was wrong...Have hope It is the prerequisite for all struggles. Pursuing justice is a hard work. What is the justice in your heart?

Just Mercy quotes

  • Eva Ansley: [after someone threatened to blow up her house with a bomb] Maybe people will stop tryin' to kill us once they realize how charming we are.

  • Bryan Stevenson: I came out of law school with grand ideas in my mind about how to change the world. But Mr. McMillian made me realize we can't change the world with only ideas in our minds. We need conviction in our hearts. this man taught me how to stay hopeful, because I now know that hopelessness is the enemy of justice. Hope allows us to push for word, even when the truth is distorted by the people in power. It allows us to stand when they tell us to sit down, and to speak when they say be quiet.
