The background of the film is the end of the American Civil War, the assassination of President Lincoln, Vice President and Secretary of State, and a military interrogation after a group of suspects are arrested. The "big conspiracy" refers to the government's efforts to vent public outrage by sending these accomplices to the platform for questioning. In the film, the Ministry of Justice is blatant, the witnesses are righteous, and there are various prejudices of the public against prisoners, which are deeply unfair.
The only female prisoner among them was involved because she was suspected of providing a planned venue for the assassins. She may be innocent, or she may die, but future generations will no longer be able to know the truth, because what she owes is a fair trial. The female prisoner is sympathetic, but on the bright side, her story may have resulted in a better judicial system, as the U.S. High Court later ruled that any citizen should have the right to a fair trial in civil courts.
In the whole thing, the male protagonist is the bigger beast. He is a war hero and a lawyer, but defending the female prisoner as an enemy puts him in a dilemma. Hatred and the interests of the client are at odds in the heart. Belief and unbelief, guilt and innocence, prejudice and justice, etc., are all in one. Coupled with the incomprehension of lovers and friends, he seems helpless in the face of judicial injustice. In fact, he is better than death more uncomfortable.
Should the assassination incident be attributed to the assassins, or the initiator of the civil war? This is a question worthy of careful consideration. After all, war is the root cause of people's hatred. Director Robert Liefu put this historical deed on the screen, satirizing the injustice of the year, and brought out the scourge of war, which is really courageous. However, the length of the film is quite detailed, and it takes a little patience to appreciate it. Fortunately, the plot has advanced to the end, and emotions have been substituted into it. Watching this historical shady scene, I can't help but break a cold sweat.
