defender of justice

Olin 2022-07-05 16:03:44

The young Lincoln was imposing, standing in a suit and leather shoes among the noisy crowd, so he stood out from the crowd. The crowd of Wuyangyang rushed to the police station like crazy, shouting angrily to hang the suspect immediately. It seems to be for justice, but in fact it is just to join in the fun. Lincoln stood in the door of the police station by himself, humorously teasing the person who took the lead, and protecting the suspect righteously. But the police behind the door secretly took off their badges, for fear of people rushing into the house. It is indeed extraordinary to easily persuade everyone to leave with a tongue that is not rotten. The quick cuts in the film rush past the most important woman in young Lincoln's life. That beautiful face, frozen in the moment of turning around, was always asleep in the ice. The use of montage makes people caught off guard and a little stiff. The law is the revealed morality, and the morality is the hidden law. Although the mother in the film saw which son moved her hand, she couldn't and couldn't say it. Like Lincoln said, if you have to choose, it is better not to choose at all. The law is the embodiment of justice, and although it may be late, it will not be absent.

Young Mr. Lincoln quotes

  • Abe Lincoln: [In the law office with feet up on desk, arbitrating a dispute] Now, it says here brother Hawthorne... that you owe brother Wooldridge fifty-five dollars and forty-seven cents board at the rate of a dollar and a half a week, you owe him ninety dollars for use of a team and wagon for eight months, besides one hundred dollars cash on a loan.

    Woolridge: [triumphant] Yeah...

    Hawthorne: [indignant] Well, I never said I didn't!

    Abe Lincoln: [scratches head, speaks slowly and methodically] Well, I ain't no lightnin' calculator... but accordin' to my figurin'... you owe him two hundred and forty-five dollars and forty-seven cents. You're askin' two hundred and fifty dollars damages. Now, my idea is to split the difference of four dollars and fifty-three cents... which by a *strange* coincidence happens to be exactly the amount of my legal fee.

    [stands, speaks faster]

    Abe Lincoln: And the whole thing's settled! Well, what d'ya say?

    Hawthorne: [defiant] I won't do it!

    Woolridge: [defiant] Me either! I'll go to the law first!

    Abe Lincoln: [strolls between Hawthorne and Wooldridge, puts hands in pockets] Gentlemen... did ya ever hear about the time in the Blackhawk war when I... butted two fella's heads together? And busted *both* of 'em?

    [looks slowly from one man to the other]

    Woolridge: [sheepishly] Eh... well uh, I'm willin' if he is.

    [digs in pocket for money]

    Hawthorne: [indignant] 'Tain't fair... but I'll do it just to be shut of him!

    [digs in pouch for money]

    Abe Lincoln: Thanks, gentlemen. Ahh, that's gonna save us all a heap'a legal trouble... and headaches.

  • Prosecutor John Felder: I shall prove that they were under the influence of an alcoholic beverage at the time.

    Sam Boone: Hic!
