I think it will work better if they show the backstory instead of telling it, then the character arc will be more...

A more traditional film, it belongs to one of the masterpieces of David Mamet's screenwriting, the acting is good, the photography is OK, the rhythm is not as attractive as the current...

I went to see it for Paul Newman, but it turned out that the male god was not aged very well, and his heart was stuffed. . . The story is also a little...

The slow and realistic tone of the whole process made the jury finally make an unprofessional verdict. This is unscientific and the professional skills of the male protagonist are very weak. . Even so, this film still has the ability to calmly catch the so-called...

The high and low twists and turns of the script are textbook-like, but the story itself relies too much on coincidence. That polaroid design is a genius, and the light and shadow processing has a black-and-white flavor. The common feature of Paul Newman and Charlotte Rampling is that their looks overwhelm their acting skills. In contrast, David Bowie is a genius, born to lift weights...

"There is no justice. The rich win, the poor are powerless. We are tired of lies, numb, vulnerable. We think about ourselves, we have fallen victim, we doubt ourselves, we doubt our faith, we doubt our system, we doubt our laws. But today , you are the law, not books, not hard statues, or ornaments, and your judgment determines what is justice; and when deeds are faithful to your beliefs, your beliefs will follow...

The film was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor and Adapted Screenplay at the 55th Academy Awards. In the face of a powerful enemy, he was taken lightly, and he was not well prepared beforehand, and he tried to retreat in a panic. The final victory was entirely a fluke to win the sympathy of the jury (the dissatisfaction with the judge's apparent defense of the defense is estimated to be the reason for sympathy). As for inspiration, it's too far-fetched. But Newman's...

This film greatly expands the emotion of affection and the underprivileged under trial. Against the disadvantage of the diocese, opportunistic and strong defense lawyers, and favoritism against judges, Lumet still used the justice in the hearts of the 12 jury members to make extrajudicial hopes. Victory is irrelevant, so the increased compensation is left unspoken. Paul Newman offers the most soulful final statement of a failed alcoholic lawyer who is powerless to fight back. His oh ha...

7 points. No wonder it looks a bit like "Twelve Angry Men", it really is the work of Sidney Lumet. However, compared to "12", the rhythm of this work is a bit too procrastinated, and most of the scenes are calm, which may not be acceptable to audiences who are used to watching legal dramas. In addition, in fact, this work also has the consistent problem of the director, that is, reason gives way to emotion, evidence gives way to speech, pays attention to visibility, but ignores...

Dialogue as Litany
But if the script is a paradigm of Aristotelian structure, it is its adroit courtroom give-and-take that bespeaks a ruthlessness that would have been more recognizable on a battlefield. No other courtroom drama in memory is as ruthless in its examination of that much -honored profession, sparing no...

Let the hateful not be forgiven easily

Because of work, there is a special focus on films about trials. Among the many wonderful trial films like "Twelve Angry Men", this "The Great Trial" is not eye-catching. The film exudes a melancholic atmosphere, just like Paul Newman's gloomy profile when he played a game of...

Kevin Doneghy: You guys... you guys are all the same! The doctors at the hospital, you... it's always what I'm going to do for you. And then you screw up, and it's, "Ah, we did the best that we could, I'm dreadfully sorry." And people like us live with your mistakes the rest of our lives.

Judge Hoyle: It seems to me, a fellow's trying to come back, he'd take the settlement, get a record for himself. I, myself. would take it and run like a thief.
Frank Galvin: I'm sure you would.
