"Justice's Mercy" is adapted from the best-selling book "Justice's Mercy: Suffering and Salvation in American Justice" written by American lawyer Brian Stevenson. At the beginning of the film, the black protagonist who graduated from the Harvard Law Department gave up a high-paying career and became a free legal adviser on death row inmates. I thought the movie would be rolled out in a grand manner, telling the protagonist’s efforts to improve the American criminal justice system. Unexpectedly, "Justice Mercy" always revolves around an unjust case, to show the historical significance of the redress of this unjust case with a small view.

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.
