Based on true events, it re-enacts the most infamous trial in American history from September 24, 1969 to February 20, 1970. It's a bit funny that the incident took place in the United States, where the three powers are separated and the so-called model of democracy. When the judiciary has been reduced to a tool for those in power, radical civil rights activists can only be reduced to sacrificed pawns.
The director used the film as a slogan, shouted the strongest slogan, and borrowed the way of satirizing the present, which is a bit like "Donkey Gets Water". Some people say that this is the most ruthless movie that "understands the king". In fact, I think "2020 Go" Death" is.
At the trial scene in the film, the prosecution and the defense are arguing, the tension is full of plots, and the emotions are layered. This may be the most exciting trial movie. It is also a strong contender for the Oscars next year. After all, there are very few foreign language films in this special year of 2020. However, this kind of talkative movie makes me, a patient with slow subtitle recognition, can only keep pressing the pause button.
