    May the world be consensual

    [The Accused 1988]? The Chinese translation of the name is rather disgusting, it is called [Bao Jie Li Hua] at first glance, you will think it is [Bao Jie chrysanthemum] or [Destroy Pear flower]?

    This is Judy Foster's first Oscar-winning work at the age of 27. The plot still touched me several...

    Movie worth watching

    In fact, we always talk about the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, but when it comes to women being raped, most women are reluctant to stand up. Why is it that the person who has been raped is the victim, but you have to be asked: Are you wearing particularly sexy clothes? Can you...

    The ups and downs are the rhythm of that era, and the most narrative technique is to put the rape scene of 10 minutes behind. Judy played a low-level woman with such high-end intellectual qualities. His acting skills were too strong. The debauchery, irritability, superstition, and pretending calmness of young girls in a small city reminded people of the real situation in the fringe of urban and rural areas in China. The 5-minute court monologue jerked people to tears. A movie that gives courage to the weak, accused on the surface is about the defendants, but in fact it also implies that society is blaming the raped women. It is a pity that he is too obsessed with feminist stereotypes, and the bravest boy is portrayed as a coward.

    70 points. Jodie Foster performed the delicate character changes after the incident, especially in the arrangement of the film, putting the radiant rape scene at the end for comparison. But what I like the most is the scene where she and her friend go to the lawyer's office. The director made a very good choice of perspective, and went to film a person waiting for someone to testify. Zhu performed waiting and seeking, and the strap slipped from the shoulder to the elbow. , she glanced at it, and it was definitely a very powerful reaction.

The Accused quotes

  • Kathryn Murphy: Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Paulson has told you the testimony of Sarah Tobias is nothing. Sarah Tobias was raped but that is nothing. She was cut, bruised, and terrorized but that is nothing. All of it happened in front of a howling crowd and that is nothing. Well, it may be nothing to Mr. Paulson, but it is not nothing to Sarah Tobias and I don't believe it's nothing to you. Next, Mr. Paulson tried to convince you that Kenneth Joyce was the only one in that room who knew that Sarah Tobias was being raped. The only one. Now you watched Kenneth Joyce, how did he strike you? Did he seem specially sensitive? Did he seem so remarkable that you said to yourselves, "Of course. This man would notice things other people wouldn't." Do you believe that Kenneth Joyce saw something in that room that those three men didn't see. In all the time that Sarah was pinned down on that Pinball machine that other people didn't know? Kenneth Joyce confessed to you that he watched a rape and did nothing. He told you that everyone in that bar behaved badly and he was right. But no matter how immoral it may be, it is not the crime of criminal solicitation to walk away from a rape. It is not the crime of criminal solicitation to watch a rape. But it is the crime of criminal solicitation to induce, or entreat, or encourage, or persuade another person to commit a rape. Hold her down, stick it to her, make her moan. These three men did worse than nothing. They cheered and they clapped and they rooted the others on. They made sure that Sarah Tobias was raped, and raped, and raped, and raped. And tell me, was that nothing?

  • Sarah Tobias: What time is it?

    Kathryn Murphy: You just asked me that.
