The Rainmaker evaluation action

2021-12-31 08:02
"The Rainmaker" maintains the usual human care and social reflection in Coppola's movies. The director refused to regard the film as a tribute to the American dream, but in the film conducted a deep analysis of the hypocrisy and violence in American society. The film did not advance in chronological order during the narrative process, but used flashbacks in a large number of court scenes to intersperse a series of evidence gathering processes before the opening of the court. This approach, on the one hand, gives a single court scene a rhythmic change, which can make the protagonist feel hopeless after desperate. On the other hand, this approach also makes the storytelling of the entire movie no longer stick to the chronological order, avoiding the dull and single narrative rhythm. Because the film rarely uses subjective lenses and long lenses, coupled with the rapid switching of lenses, this makes the court debate in the film more intense, which creates a sense of urgency and tension for the audience  .
In terms of the style of the film, from the beginning of the story to the investigation of the protagonist’s company by the police, the process was somewhat ridiculous, and even made the audience unable to enter the drama for a while. Exaggerated bosses, noisy dialogues, and revealing girls all remind the audience that the lawyer industry is profiteering. But as Rudy Baylor and Dirk started from nothing, the film became more and more heavy and indifferent to society. In addition to the young lawyer played by Matt Damon, numerous secondary roles with distinctive personalities are equally eye-catching. These colorful casts make the whole story of the film more complete and exciting .

    The young Matt, who was in court for the first time, did not know how to play with workplace politics. Of course, he has no chance since then. At the end of the film, he still chose another path, which is a meteor. Bar.

    It's not wonderful in the dimension of Coppola's work, but it is solid and good-looking. The collision process of eggs and stone walls exposes the bullying of big companies. They would rather spend their money on expensive lawyers than for The insured loses a penny. It is true that the ending of a rookie lawyer to bring down a big company is ideal, but at least it proves that only resistance can create possibilities.

The Rainmaker quotes

  • Judge Kipler: Mr. Drummond... you objected to the fast-tracking of this case. What's the problem?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well, your honor... this issue's already been ruled upon by Judge Hale. The preparations required by fast-tracking the case place undue burden upon both parties, I believe.

    Judge Kipler: [scribbling on a notepad and not looking up] Nonsense.

    [stands up]

    Judge Kipler: Let me ask you something, Mr. Drummond. As a defense lawyer, have your EVER agreed to the fast-tracking of a lawsuit?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well your honor, I believe I have.

    Judge Kipler: [begins to laugh as he sits back down] Fine. Give me the name of the case and the court it was in.

    Leo F. Drummond: [laughs nervously] Well, your honor... I have to get back to you on that.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me this afternoon by three.

    Leo F. Drummond: I don't believe I'm going to be in before three.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me when you get in. I'm very interested in hearing about this case you agreed to fast-track.

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes sir.

    Judge Kipler: This boy's about to die, gentlemen. You do agree that we need to record his testimony?

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes indeed... of course, your honor. It's just that my trial calendar is pushin' me around pretty good.

    Judge Kipler: How about next Thursday afternoon?

    Rudy Baylor: Great for me, your honor.

    Leo F. Drummond: I'm sorry, your honor.

    Judge Kipler: That's a week from today.

    Leo F. Drummond: I believe I'm out of town.

    [beat]

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes, I am out of town Thursday.

    Judge Kipler: The deposition is set for next Thursday afternoon at 2pm.

    [smiles]

    Judge Kipler: Sorry if it inconveniences the defense, but God knows there's enough of you guys to handle it.

    [Rudy smiles]

  • Kelly Riker: [Cliff has just trashed the house and buried Rudy under a refrigerator... Kelly rushes to Cliff] RUDY... RUDY! Cliff, you idiot! What are you doing!

    Cliff Riker: [grabbing Kelly around the throat] You see what you did! Kelly, you see what you did? It's not my fault! I love you... I love you!

    [Rudy gets back up and yanks Cliff by the air and off Kelly and they resume fighting... Cliff pulls out a gun, Rudy grabs a baseball bat and hits Cliff with it]

    Kelly Riker: RUDY!

    [he hits Cliff some more with the bat]

    Kelly Riker: Stop it, Rudy! Stop.

    [Cliff groans]

    Kelly Riker: Give me the bat... and leave.

    Rudy Baylor: [dumbfounded] What?

    Kelly Riker: Give me the bat... and leave. You were not here tonight. Give me the bat.

    [Rudy complies and Kelly finishes Cliff off after Rudy walks out]
