    Four-and-a-half stars 1. Kramer's court scenes are always wonderful, and the lens movement and character composition are still straightforward and efficient. 2. The lawyer of the believer who is gluttonous, and the pastor of the Chengfeng who disturbs his family. Despite the obvious bias, Kramer still reveals, sympathizes and even partially agrees with Brady, the respectable side of a religious believer. 3. The farce speech after the trial ended is exactly the picture after the religious belief has almost completely collapsed in the hearts of Americans. 4. The film also expresses denial to the nihilists and skeptics represented by Kim Kelly. Therefore, the theme of the film extends from free thinking to the firmness and pursuit of faith (which can only be established by free thought). Everybody has the right to and should build one's own monument.

Inherit the Wind quotes

  • Rachel Brown: I was always more afraid of you than of falling!

  • Matthew Harrison Brady: I have been to their cities and I have seen the altars upon which they sacrifice the futures of their children to the gods of science. And what are their rewards? Confusion and self-destruction. New ways to kill each other in wars. I tell you gentlemen the way of science is the way of darkness.
