Incomplete ideological map

From the beginning of the Vietnam War to the end of the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement was able to hold its position in the extreme frenzy. After being detonated, it still remembers the starting point of its quest, which is really worthy of being loaded into historical memory. "I've never been on trial for my thoughts before" hit the tears, and the hippie popcorn head poked at the soul of the Constitution with a cynical tone. The contrast made me feel even more emotional: the establishment of the modern rule of law such as "ideas cannot be convicted" In the process of consensus, countless human rights fighters who were the first to awaken must have been sacrificed.

Although it is another experience of being swept up by PCs and the beacon of democracy, I am willing to regard the supremacy of the constitution, equality and freedom, and the courage to dissent as my underlying beliefs; at the same time, it is more and more necessary to admit that the law cannot be separated from politics—ruling, the day the law was born And zz domination is synonymous. Therefore, it is a kind of reconciliation to build one of the important values ​​of legal person on the confrontation with public power.

Legal realism is staged again, with judgment before trial, and unscrupulous justification of conclusions under the domination of ideology and free inner evidence. At first, I thought this judge was synonymous with feudalism and conservativeness, but after seeing the case reversed by the 7th circuit, I couldn't help thinking that, as a trial judge of 'the whole world is watching', knowing that I was at the cusp of the storm, the film would be even more of a surprise. He is shaped like a clown, his authority has plummeted, and he still sticks to his conservative views. Is it his stupidity, or his compromise with public power, or is his ideology so deeply rooted that he believes that he is doing the right ruling? Curious about his law school experience - legal realism!

The first half of the movie viewing experience was really bad, and the editing was confusing. I have been trying to catch up, and I went back and watched it several times. There are too many things that want to emphasize the contrast, too messy and too deliberate, and it is only in the second half that I feel a little bit of editing strength.

    Watching this movie is like taking a class. It truly shows us what the civil society on the other side of the ocean looked like in the early 1970s, what a lawyer in a civil society should look like, and what a citizen in a civil society should have. Soothing those helpless souls... Thanks to Netflix for its wonderful presentation, thanks to the selfless dedication of the great gods of "Everyone Film and Television", and thanks to the little cracks that appeared in the dark, we still have the opportunity to see such an inspiring good movie. We are not pessimistic, but look forward to 2035. The communique two days ago said that China will also become a country under the rule of law, a government under the rule of law, and a society under the rule of law...

    Master Sokin is worthy of being a master. In two hours, he described the intricate rights and social relations of the American democracy movement in the 1960s. It is easy to understand and does not show bloatedness. The characters are also rich in personality. The court scenes are not boring. If you want to choose The disadvantage is that this film is too crafty, too dependent on the script, and lacks a little aura. The actors are all seeded contestants who won awards, and the final presentation of the riots is also quite interesting. This film is very suitable for watching with Miami, which was shot this year by Virginia Gold. The conflicting views of various democratic factions and the responsibilities attached to the democratic movement are very interesting.

  • 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.
