Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

5-star respect for the late justice, the film does not have any sophisticated shooting techniques, nor is there any clever arrangement, no suspense, no flipping. Only the generous statement of righteous words, only the severe accusation of this unfair system, this true story is enough to warn the world that justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Watching this film is very suitable now. Hundreds of years of grievances and hatred will not disappear out of thin air. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

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.
