"The Conviction" is a typical film of the guilty of retribution, and the same themes such as "Never Compromise" and "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" are well-known by Chinese and foreign audiences. Like many legal-themed films, the film incorporates some legal knowledge and also depicts the shackles of administrative red tape to the realization of judicial justice. However, the film is not too entangled in the evidence collection and court debates of the case itself. Instead, it focuses on the strong affection between Betty Ann and Kenny in the film, in order to show the deep theme of the film: blood connection Perseverance and belief.

However, there are some stories behind Shen Zhen Zhaoxue:

the character Kenny in the movie actually fell to death six months after he was released from prison in 2001. People talked a lot about this incident like "God's will": It seems that Kenny is still safer in prison. However, director Tony Goldwyn explained: "This is a difficult decision. But I think that in the end, the film will not take this into consideration. The film focuses more on Kenny's freedom and the family relationship between Betty Ann and him."

Boston People are looking forward to this movie because this true story takes place in Ayer, Massachusetts. However, most of the scenes of this movie were shot in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and only some of the background that paved the story was in the story. Filmed locally.

This is an R-rated movie.

This wonderful story was reported by the Boston Globe reporter Farah Stockman. He came across Barry Scheck, an attorney who "justified the innocence of people who were wrongfully convicted for failing DNA tests" in the incident. Barry Scheck told the story of Betty Ann to Farah Stockman. Farah Stockman recalled: Betty Ann worked in an Irish bar in Britol RI and was very shy. She didn't seem to want to be reported as a high school dropout or a hero. . She thinks it's nothing to be a single mother, and it's even more natural to fight for her brother. "This is what I should do for my relatives, isn't it?" Betty Ann said. She didn't seem to want to be famous, but Honor still found her.

The story of Betty Ann was published on the front page of the Globe and caused a huge response. Ten years later, this story was put on the big screen.

In reality, Melrosa, the child of Katharina Brow, and Charles’ lawyer Gloria Allred, condemned the director Tony Goldwyn and starring Hilary Swank of "Convicted" in numerous media reports, and ignored the feelings of Melrosa and Charles. I have contacted them whether they agree to film their mother in the movie, and I have never made a phone call with sadness or sympathy.



"Conviction" is a film based on real events. The heroine is played by Hilary Swank, who won two Oscars ("Boys Don’t Cry"/"Million Baby"), and the actor was in an excellent last year Sam Rockwell, a veteran actor starring in the science fiction movie "Moon". It can be said that in addition to the real and touching script, what makes this movie stand out is the excellent performances of the actors. However, precisely because of the limited availability of materials from real events, the predictability of the plot of the whole movie seems to be too obvious. It is obvious that a wonderful story makes the audience somewhat uninterested in chewing. Sometimes true stories are compared to fictional ones. The lack of unpredictability of the plot leads to a decrease in viewership. In the "127 Hours" and "Fighter" released at the same time, we seem to see shadows.

In summary, 3.5-star

    The event itself was even more shocking. The adaptation of the movie is not done well, and it is another movie that is hovering on the passing line.

    "I know you love me so much". A touching story adapted from a real person, quiet but with shocking power. There are always gaps in life that you can't cross, but as long as you stick to it, everything will be different. Don't give up, because there is always someone waiting for you. The male and female protagonists are very good.
