"The Trial of Seven Gentlemen in Chicago" has gained high attention and high reputation with its special political background and high-level lineup in front and behind the stage. The film is both exciting and inspiring. The film has carried out a detailed restoration of history, focusing on the trial process after the 7 people and another "Black Panther Party" leader were sued, and interspersed with the behind-the-scenes operations of prosecutors, lawyers and witnesses, and the scene of the conflict. Flashback memory, lines and information are extremely large. The sharpness of the film lies in its direct targeting of the President of the United States and the judicial system: The reason why the Nixon administration suddenly prosecuted seven people a year after the Chicago incident was simply to take the opportunity to suppress the civil rights movement and political opponents. The lines in the film reflect many problems in American society, and the online streaming media is particularly eye-catching during the sensitive period before the US presidential election. In addition, the actors in the film also contributed outstanding acting skills.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 quotes
-
[after being informed of Fred Hampton's murder]
Bobby Seale: [to Tom Hayden] You've all got the same father, right? 'Cut your hair, don't be a fag, respect authority, respect America - respect me.' Your life, it's a 'fuck-you' to your father, right? A little?
Tom Hayden: Maybe.
Bobby Seale: Maybe. And you can see how that's different from a rope on a tree?
Tom Hayden: [quietly] Yeah.
Bobby Seale: Yeah. He was shot in the shoulder first. You can't aim a gun if you've been shot in the shoulder, you can't squeeze the trigger. Second shot was in his head. Fred was executed. Anything else?
William Kunstler: No.

Bernadine: [answering the phone] Conspiracy Office, how can I help you?
[pause]
Bernadine: No sir, I am a white woman.
[pause]
Bernadine: Yeah, I've slept with several in my life so far, and on balance, I'd have to say yes, it is better, and to tell you the truth, I think that's a big part of what's got you worked up.
Leonard Weinglass: Hang up the phone.
Bernadine: It's not even so much that it's bigger, it's just better, you know what I mean?
Leonard Weinglass: Hang up the phone.
[she does]
Leonard Weinglass: Was that a parting gift for Bobby?
Bernadine: No. That was just for me.
