righteous bastard

I don’t know since when, I have believed that this world is not perfect, that hard work will not necessarily lead to gain, that good deeds will not necessarily lead to good karma, and those who uphold justice may end up in disrepute; It is the blessing of the gods and smooth sailing. Of course, they may have paid more secret hardships, but they can't see the light, we can't see it. And it is precisely because of the existence of such a bottomless world and rules that we cannot see and know, this world cannot be absolutely bright and perfect. Therefore, sometimes the world needs such a person. He is a bastard, who can freely roam between the two worlds of light and darkness. He can adjust his moral threshold at any time, and prevent his conscience from torturing himself at critical moments. But fortunately, he still has a little sense of justice. When he encounters a scum who has no bottom line, he will still take action to solve it. Of course, the method will be indecent, but the effect is often very pleasing. Like Howler's lawyer in this film.
I always feel that the setting of characters like Lawyer Howler - with justice and no morality - is entirely to cater to the audience's psychology, which is the expectation of "good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil". Since my generation of grass-roots people can’t help those who do bad things, and the official state institutions are often occupied by the bureaucrats, they neglect their duties and do nothing, and even get along with the bad guys (this is also a kind of psychology that the public can easily generate), so It is absolutely impossible to let the wicked be at ease, and the good people can't help the bad people, then there will definitely be "the wicked people grind", and when a wicked person "grinds" another wicked person, it seems that the wicked person is also covered with a layer. Thin light, and isn't that what we call a "sense of justice"?
It's just that this sense of justice also carries its own original sin. Although Howler finally brought the villain to justice, he still helped him win the previous lawsuit. That girl is really innocent, at least legally. Losing the justice that should belong to her, I don't know how this should be counted? Losing the pawn to protect the car is a tactical choice. For bystanders like Hauler and us, it may feel very happy, and it can make a big sigh of anger, but for the lost pawn, it is a great tragedy. Therefore, I always feel that it is really unfair and unkind to not give the beaten call girl a chance after the court scene is over. Maybe it won't change anything, but the girl who has been hurt twice should give us a hard look. Let's wake up, howler even has a bad taste in him, but let's smell ourselves and see if it's the same.

The Lincoln Lawyer quotes

  • Gloria: Yeah, housewife of the year, that's me.

  • [Mick, armed with a baseball bat, discovers Louis has broken into his house]

    Louis Roulet: [sitting casually in Mick's home office] If you're wondering how I got in, I'm in real estate, so if I want to get into a friend's house...

    Mick Haller: No, we're not friends. You're my client. And I'm your lawyer.

    Louis Roulet: My lawyer. See, that's exactly what I wanted to remind you of. I'm about to go on trial, and yet I couldn't reach you. Now I find out where you were all day. Heard you tell Maggie.

    Mick Haller: You shit.

    Louis Roulet: You went to see Jesus Martinez. And I know what you talked about: Donna Renteria. You're right, Mick. I killed her. There. No reason I shouldn't tell my own lawyer since it's all confidential. Attorney-client privilege. Isn't that what you told me?

    Mick Haller: It's time for you to go, Louis.

    Louis Roulet: Alright.

    [He sits up, finishes his drink, and stands up. He notices a framed picture of Mick & his daughter Hayley on Mick's desk]

    Louis Roulet: [walks out into the living room] That's a cute picture of your daughter Hayley. She's very pretty. She's got soccer practice tomorrow, right?

    Mick Haller: [following Louis] Don't.

    Louis Roulet: [pretending to be confused] Don't what?

    Mick Haller: [gets in Louis' face] You think you're the first client to threaten me and my family? Huh?

    Louis Roulet: All I said was she's pretty.

    Mick Haller: Are you scared, Louis? Because where you are right now, you're in a very dangerous place.

    [He opens the front door and Louis leaves]
