First of all, this is a very detailed film. In this film, it first portrays a lawyer who looks very professional, Bruce, and a Dick who likes to take advantage of things and strike up a conversation with misfortuned people in an attempt to make a profit.
At this time, the film just wanted to give people a first impression, labeling these two characters. However, it quickly reversed. Bruce was wanted for multiple violations, and Dick did his best for the insurance dispute. The personality of the two roles was completely overturned.
After that, Truman's professional and gentle image, as well as his gaffes during the trial, and his hypocritical performance after losing the lawsuit are also classic examples.
At the same time, the director also specifically stated that Kepler, a black judge, is a human rights defender and never shows mercy to insurance companies. Imply that he will help Rudy. However, the judge has always been very fair during the trial. This is also a good deal.
And Matt Damon’s acting skills in this film are also very prominent. From the perspective of Rudy, who he plays, he really makes people feel sincere and brave.
Throughout the film, there are three story lines, that is, three cases. And Rudy has one thing in common with them, that is, he is extremely sincere. He didn't use any crooked brains about the old lady's will. He just borrowed a small house nearby as his residence, and the care of the old lady for too many days finally allowed him to get a part of his inheritance.
For Black and Casey, he also used what he had learned to help them as much as possible. Finally, I also harvested a wonderful life in the three story lines.
The main theme of the film is also hidden in Rudy's narrative at the end.
He said that every lawyer will at least find that he has crossed a line that he does not want to cross in a certain case. If you cross the line again and again, you will find that the line no longer exists.
In fact, in the film, Rudy crossed many boundaries. First of all, he should not have feelings with the client, but on the contrary, he has a very good relationship with the three clients.
When he first met with the judge, Rudy had not been able to get the lawyer's badge, which was obviously a violation. And until the end of the film, Dick was not a legal lawyer. Here, they have violated many laws.
And he and Casey killed the domestic violence man. In this incident, it was Rudy's stick that played a decisive role. The last two helped each other and got rid of the man and the crime. At this time, Rudy clearly crossed the line.
What I have to say is that the description of this murder in "Rainmaker" is not enough. At the end, the two people seem to have no other ideas about the fact that they have killed people, although it can be said to be a legitimate defense.
Rudy was worried that he would continue to cross boundaries and become a lawyer like Truman. Instead, he chose to withdraw from the legal profession and become a legal teacher, which is also a good deal for the director.
The theme is not only a reflection of the true state of a lawyer, but also an irony of the law. At the trial, there was a complete claims manual, and the other was incomplete.
Almost everyone believes that the two manuals are true, but according to the law, illegally obtained evidence cannot be used, but Rudy and Dick have to consult with Bruce, who is good at illegally stealing evidence. This kind of law is superfluous. ,unreasonable.
And they received 50 million US dollars in compensation, but they were evaded by the company because of bankruptcy. The law cannot be bound.
For the three clients, Rudy is the rainmaker. But for the lawyers, Rudy is also a rainmaker.
In the end, the story ended in the helplessness of such a good lawyer and the mockery of the law.
But although Rudy was disappointed with justice, he chose to continue to devote himself to judicial education, which was a good ending.
