The status of the audience in this film corresponds to the jury in the play, and the director corresponds to the defendant's lawyer. A way for the audience and the jury to sympathize with the defendant is achieved through recognition of role-playing. John steward’s upright and vulnerable face plus his old loyal servant who almost paid his life in search of evidence in the play, plus a handsome defendant and the defendant’s psychologist, will soon allow the audience to establish a right The defendant’s sympathy. Correspondingly, the prosecution lawyer in the play seemed a bit stupid and slow to react, and the other appeared to be cunning and scheming from the big city. In addition, the witnesses, whether they are bar waiters or elderly psychologists, have committed multiple crimes. Prisoners, whether it is the jury in the play or the audience in front of the screen, will inevitably resist the prosecution. The reversal of the plot and the ambiguity of interpretation therefore smoothly use the psychological mechanism of the audience to unfold.

    9. [Drama] Create an opponent with the same strength as the protagonist, and the two sides of the game will exchange their home courts. |The film reveals the inner fissures presented by a large number of court trials, while revealing how people can influence moral judgment through reasonable means, it also places and exposes the most influential discipline that appeared in the twentieth century. The problem, psychoanalysis is so subjective, and the evidence for its conclusion is all objective facts (provided no one is lying). However, the camera observations carried over from "Washington Qianqiu" just prove that most people are lying to each other. |The conclusion that the villain has succeeded is implied, and the era of the complete end of censorship. 810

    8.3/10. ①The male lawyer defends a murderer in court. The specific case is "Husband A murdered tavern owner B, because it is suspected that B raped A's romantic wife". In the end, the male protagonist won the case. The film focuses on the debate itself, without ultimately telling the audience the truth. ②High-level photography (light and shadow/composition) with strong expressiveness; some are silky and graceful in lens movement/scene scheduling, and even some are very trembling at high level, and the overall positive and negative offsets. ③All kinds of jazz soundtracks are highly praised, the actors perform well, and the lines of the court drama are very wonderfully written. ④ Although the narrative is quite fascinating on the whole, it is still relatively procrastinated, deducting 0.5.

Anatomy of a Murder quotes

  • Deputy Sheriff Sulo: I didn't hear them myself. There were tourists from Ohio in the park and they heard them and told me about it the next day.

    Mitch Lodwick: Your honour! This testimony is incompetent, hearsay, irrelevant, immaterial, inconclusive

    Paul Biegler: Well, that's too much for me. The witness is yours, Mr. Lodwick.

  • Maida Rutledge: [sipping coffee] Tell me we're going to win. I'm counting on getting that promissory note from the Lieutenant. I hope we can borrow some money on it. I need a new typewriter. Half the time, the "P" and the "F" don't strike on mine. "Party of the first part comes out: "arty of the irst art." It doesn't make sense. It's embarrassing.

    Paul Biegler: [riffing jazz on the piano] "arty of the irst art." I kinda like that. Has a ring to it.
