    The whole article talks about one thing: what is called "not treating people as people", and how people become people and how they do it. There are also such awesome and glittering characters in China's modern history, but they can't make a movie. When the death list was finally read out, the moment when the children stood on the court chair and paid tribute to their fathers, was as passionate as "Dead Poets Society", and it was also the hope of civil rights, the best enlightenment education,...

    It is another five-star new film, but unlike the previous films that jointly revealed the new method, this is the last dazzling afterglow of the old method. My evaluation criteria have been rebuilt recently: because compared to the ontology of film, the next ten years may need to care more about the carrier-movie as a channel has never been so dangerous; film as an art has never been so important too. What is apparent authority, what is fundamental authority, what is "a line", what is NPC, and...

    [A] The opening scene makes me want to stop, creating energy through the contrast between the lines and the behavior/ideological opposition created by the editing. This method is used repeatedly and intensively, but it never makes people feel bored. So the emotions never stopped until the title of the movie came out, and they rushed to the first climax with extraordinary momentum. In the following paragraphs, the editing is still not weaker than the existence of the script, the...

    The little brother chatted that he was remembering his name because their court fight was very trivial compared to the dead in Vietnam, and then he immediately moved on to the next scene. Then, of course, I had a clever mind, and I felt that this high probability was just foreshadowing at the end. im patting myself on my own back for...

    So lovely. Aaron Sorkin wrote such a good script, and then got some British actors to play the role. Mark Rylance, Eddie and Sacha Baron Cohen are all...

    There is no need for a political show of guilt, two people make up the number and one person gags; to fight against patriarchy, you only need to carry a stick, racial equality will pay for your life at any time; "Blood all over the city", returning to the list of the dead... Sorkin's script has been filmed by the director for more than ten years, and finally he went into battle and made the film when it was most realistic....

    Sharp editing, slick script and machine-gun dialogue are Sorkin's forte, and trial court scenes and actual riot clips flash back and cross narratives. "If you want to bleed, then let the blood flow through the whole city." In the end, it was discovered that it was our blood. The government had already installed undercover agents. The prosecutors belonged to them, the witnesses belonged to them, and the judges belonged to them. The trial was nothing but blood. Procedural justice in form. I...

    The rhythm of the narrative is really good, full of musical...

    Sorkin is quite a chicken thief. Finally, he found a balance point and made a balance. He separated the injustice of justice and the facts of his behavior to complete the moral premise of the...

    Anti-war in the past, anti-Sichuan now, and anti-breathing in the future, the United States is beautiful because it can allow these people to...

    The world is watching, no one will remember

    If Twelve Angry Men showed us the brilliance and merits of human nature in the jury system, then this film is a warning. The credibility of this warning depends on how much the history of the true story has been modified and artistically worked on by Alan Sorkin.

    There is actually no reversal in...

    The contest between the people and the public power

    At the end, when Tom Hayden read out the names of the soldiers who died in the Vietnam War one by one, I couldn't help but stand up, and my nose was sore. No matter how much the justices struck the gavel, they could not stop people from revering life. Sure enough, any regime is afraid of lists. In...
