Revolution

From this, we truly feel what is "revolution" and the power and charm of "revolution", which is a necessary means for the younger generation to exercise fairness and justice. Anyone who can participate in such a movement will have their blood boiled and be proud of it. However I think about those HK scumbags, obviously they are carrying out their "revolution", but from my point of view the "revolution" they believe in is absurd. The question is, are those "revolutionaries" right? Just like the waste youths; or have they found the truth, but encountered unprecedented resistance, can they still carry out the revolution? Just like the trial of the seven gentlemen.

"When the people are tired of exercising their constitutional right to amend their government, they should exercise their revolutionary right to dissolve and overthrow that government."

"My contempt is nothing compared to the contempt of my government."

The final subtitles show the power of American law, which is absurd and yet amendable. This is probably the strength of America.

    Sorkin is too craftsmanship.... The arrangement is too delicate, the blur loses the historical reality... and I don’t like movies where the three views are stuck in every corner.

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.
