"The Judgment" movie script
(Camera record book)
Screenwriter/David Mammett
Compiler/Sun Jianqiu, Jia Jian
Boston Early Spring
Billy Molise’s bar, as in the past, gathered some sloppy car drivers and construction workers. In front of the pinball machine upstairs in the bar, a middle-aged man is drinking and playing on the pinball machine. He is Frank Galvin who has never won a lawsuit since he became a lawyer.
Destiny always seems to...

The spiritual city-state of the legal man
"The Ruling" starring Paul Newman can be said to be a true record of the operation of the American lawyer system. The film also allows us to see the image of a lawyer who faces a powerful enemy and goes all out to protect the interests of the client in the skilled judicial operation of the West. Of course, this lawyer named Frank is not the kind of elite American lawyer in our traditional impression who conducts "public interest litigation" from the weak to the strong, regardless of personal...

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 one, not even Frank Galvin, in its revelation that the client is seen too often as an irrelevant blip on an agenda filled with ego and avarice. When Galvin turns down an opportunity to settle the...

Procedural justice and apparent justice
The ending is harmonious, to win for victory.
From the point of view of the film alone, of course we will easily accept the final verdict, but what if we stand from the point of view of the jury?
I just watched the American crime story before. Regarding the Simpson case, a juror said this (to the effect), "You may believe that Simpson did it. Fuck, I may believe it too, but you can say that the prosecutor did prove him." Are you guilty? '
This involves the positioning of the...

Recollection of the past and expectation of the future-recommended movie "The Grand Trial"
(Do not enter if you are unfamiliar. I don't want to touch myself or make others sick.) After the
college entrance examination, I want to apply for language, but the language major of science students is limited. Dad wants me to study finance, but my score is low. My mother wants me to study the Fa, but I don't want to be arranged by her. After much deliberation, I finally decided to study the Fa. Before clicking the "Law" code on the Internet, I called many teachers. The head...

Four point five stars. More convincing, less dramatic, and more frustrating for the prosecution's lawyers than the Peachy Bloody Case. In the end, the nurse witness appeared. Although the procedure was not impeccable, the dereliction of duty of the attending physician was clearly evident in the nurse's testimony. Finally, the jury was persuaded. Rampling is so...

Paul Newman has no doubt delivered an excellent performance, but Lumet handles the film too slowly. It's a model of a three-act play, and an anti-climax play, where victory isn't trumpeted, and the winner isn't compensated (mentally). The artist deliberately created an outdated and decadent world. The picture is full of lines, and the characters seem to be unable to escape from an ancient prison, which greatly helps to reveal the...

A different lawyer film, different in every aspect, even if the events fit with the self-salvation of the protagonist, this film does not have any redemptive joy and excitement. Just like the gray-haired lawyers, their voices are hoarse and low, and they talk like they can't breathe. The dark and heavy space, the empty and cold hall with the clack of leather shoes, this is a lawyer film that wants to be different from all previous lawyer films. , highs and lows are mixed together. The...
[Judge Hoyle is speaking with Concannon and Galvin about the case]
Judge Hoyle: Frank, what would you and your client take - right now, this very minute - to walk out of here, let this damn thing drop?
Frank Galvin: My client can't walk, your honor.
Judge Hoyle: I know full well she can't, Frank. You see the padre on your way out; he'll punch your ticket... you follow me?
[Frank is giving his summation to the jury]
Frank Galvin: You know, so much of the time we're just lost. We say, "Please, God, tell us what is right; tell us what is true." And there is no justice: the rich win, the poor are powerless. We become tired of hearing people lie. And after a time, we become dead... a little dead. We think of ourselves as victims... and we become victims. We become... we become weak. We doubt ourselves, we doubt our beliefs. We doubt our institutions. And we doubt the law. But today you are the law. You ARE the law. Not some book... not the lawyers... not the, a marble statue... or the trappings of the court. See those are just symbols of our desire to be just. They are... they are, in fact, a prayer: a fervent and a frightened prayer. In my religion, they say, "Act as if ye had faith... and faith will be given to you." IF... if we are to have faith in justice, we need only to believe in ourselves. And ACT with justice. See, I believe there is justice in our hearts.
[he sits down]
Frank Galvin: I changed my life today, what did you do?
Laura Fischer: I changed my room at the hotel.
Frank Galvin: Why did you do that?
Laura Fischer: TV didn't work.
