Righteous mercy

"Justice Mercy" does not portray Brian Stevenson as a hero. It not only spends a lot of space on the assistance of Brie Larson and other staff, the family of the prisoner, several inmates, or can prove Johnny D The absence of crimes and witnesses who were threatened by prosecutors to give false testimony are also very important parts of the film. Therefore, rather than exciting court arguments, "Justice Mercy" focuses more on the process of Brian's constant rushing back and forth. Perhaps this slows down the pace of the whole film, but it is precisely this that highlights the length of judicial proceedings. Complicated, it is a painful torture for both sides.

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.
