    The person writing the review here didn't fully understand the film. I am a legal worker and a practitioner in the film and television industry for many years. I think that the training of legal theory and legal thinking can be mastered by people in any country through hard study. What this film demeans is not the law, but the teaching methods of law school and the value of merit first. Law is a system needed by society and human beings, and its study should be conducted in multiple...

    I looked at Harvard Law and didn't understand what the paper chase was at first. When I saw Hart folded the transcript into a paper plane and threw it out, I really thought this topic was too appropriate. "I don't think they are smarter or have What excels, but they hold on to it." - That's the...

    For the teachers and students of the law school, this is a rare masterpiece, especially looking at the experience and baptism of the elites of Harvard Law School 30 years ago. Similar themes are also covered in the Korean drama "Harvard Lovers"....

    Except for the emotional scenes, the life of the law school is so depressing and tense, and the competition filled with gunpowder is everywhere. Ben felt that he had learned very painfully, and he was still far from the protagonist in the play. Socratic teaching is so scary and...

    The scheming battles of Harvard Law School's smartass weren't interesting, but the casting was so successful that Orson Welles Mercury Theater partner John Houseman starred in his second film at the age of 71, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and in In the following 15 years, the film contract continued, creating an extremely rare professional experience in the history of Hollywood. Photographed by Gordon Willis in his heyday, it is beautiful and looking forward to seeing it...

    Work hard and work hard

    I once positioned myself as ordinary people with no ambitions. The homework was too difficult, and the paper was too difficult, so I thought: I will pass it so-so. No matter how hard I try, I won’t excel. Worry, why bother? After all, there are a small number of people who have changed the world...

    Socratic experience in asking questions

    I wonder if I had watched this movie when I was a freshman, would I be a different kind of person now, or would my life be different from now? This film tells the story of Hart, a freshman at Harvard, under the guidance of Professor Kingsfield's Socratic teaching method, and his continuous growth...

The Paper Chase quotes

  • Charles W. Kingsfield Jr.: Mr. Hart, here is a dime. Take it, call your mother, and tell her there is serious doubt about you ever becoming a lawyer.

    James T. Hart: [pause, as he is leaving the room] You... are a son of a bitch, Kingsfield!

    Charles W. Kingsfield Jr.: Mr. Hart! That is the most intelligent thing you've said today. You may take your seat.

  • Franklin Ford III: Damn good.

    James T. Hart: It was a good answer - not a complete analysis, not a hard question - but the point is, I did it. I did it in Kingfield's class, this is a goddamn dance.
