    It is completely conceivable that some people who scold XX on a daily basis will be in a climax state after watching this film. The special cases against the background of the special period of the 1960s, viewed today, are essentially nothing more than a stereotyped brainwashing film under another regime. The reason I don't like it is that the creative perspective is extremely narrow, and there is no objective presentation of the event itself from all angles, but with a clear subjective standpoint, it depicts politicians and some scum in the public prosecutor's law system to the fullest to emphasize the magnification of this political situation. The shamelessness of the trial, to preach the heroism of resistance, to sing the praises of freedom and democracy. As for the film itself, except for the slightly stunning opening paragraph, the formal framework is quite satisfactory, the dense language output is like a bullet, and the dialogue is interspersed with backtracking to piece together a complete story line, which is the director's usual routine. On the whole, it can only be said that it is a good political work, but it is not a particularly good work at all. By the way, through this film, it is completely understandable why some people in certain countries or places have such a negative impression of the police...

    Too democratic, too ideal, too beacon

The Trial of the Chicago 7 quotes

  • Abbie Hoffman: Winning elections, that's the first thing on your wish list? Equality, justice, education, poverty and progress, they're second?

    Tom Hayden: If you don't win elections, it doesn't matter what's second. And it is astonishing to me that someone still has to explain that to you.

  • William Kunstler: Do you know why you're on trial here?

    Abbie Hoffman: We carried certain ideas across state lines. Not machine guns or drugs or little girls. Ideas. When we crossed from New York to New Jersey to Pennsylvania to Ohio to Illinois, we had certain ideas. And for that, we were gassed, beaten, arrested, and put on trial.
