"Presumed Innocent" is a peculiar combination, sometimes lively, harmonious and smooth, and sometimes melancholic and depressive. This is Alan Jay Pakula where the old style and the new style coexist. The film describes the system, system, and powerless protagonist at the time, and also describes a more emotional system: love and marriage, family and divorce, and so on. In the film, the private selves come and go freely behind the public mask. Lies, deception and betrayal are some of the other content that this type of film can provide, but the emphasis is different. The film captures the essence of the original novel: the court is a law enforcement agency, but it is often fragile and is the place where tragedies occur. This relies on the manipulator, even if there is justice, people are blinded and cannot see that the law is biased or evades the truth

It's still reversing at the last moment, but it would be better if the two did not speak, but only conveyed the suspense of "who is the murderer" by revealing their eyes. Soundtrack by John Williams Good Classic 7.7

Rusty Sabich: [voiceover] I'm a prosecutor. I'm part of the business of accusing, judging and punishing. I explore the evidence of a crime and determine who is charged, who is brought to this room to be tried before his peers. I present my evidence to the jury and they deliberate upon it. They must determine what really happened. If they cannot, we will not know whether the accused deserves to be freed or should be punished. If they cannot find the truth, what is our hope of justice?

Rusty Sabich: [voiceover] The murder of Carolyn Polhemus remains unsolved. It is a practical impossibility to try two people for the same crime. Even if it wasn't, I couldn't take his mother from my son. I am a prosecutor. I have spent my life in the assignment of blame. With all deliberation and intent, I reached for Carolyn. I cannot pretend it was an accident. I reached for Carolyn, and set off that insane mix of rage and lunacy that led one human being to kill another. There was a crime. There was a victim. And there is *punishment*.
