Title: Michael Clayton's only good point

, Michael Clayton's title doesn't match In fact, it can't match the attention it has received on Oscar; George Clooney's male lead nomination is too much...
The biggest saving grace (unique) of this film is that it has a soft life plot conflict and is close to reality.
In the film, Michael has flaws in his life and is addicted to gambling; and because of gambling, he fell into financial crisis, maybe divorced because of this, and maybe he has not become a partner in a law firm for seventeen years because of this; often in a movie or novel , the characteristics of dramatic conflict make people addicted to gambling, financial crisis, and divorce inevitably to the point of desperate risk, or stealing, robbing, anyway, they have to embark on a road of no return...
But "Michael Clayton" does not deal with it this way. Conflicts in life are often the same. It is not that people with certain flaws must follow certain routines... In life, the plot conflicts are softer and closer to reality... In career, the plot conflicts are sharpened and killed The first person, killing the second person, formulaic plot development...
The gentle life plot conflict is also shown in Michael's brother, who gave Michael a search warrant (?) for his own sake. After the incident, it was no big deal, it was just indebted... It was also shown in Michael's close relative Timmy, who was in the car , Michael deliberately stopped the car and explained the situation of Uncle Timmy to his son, and finally asked Timmy for help and extended a hand of friendship/forgiveness...
Against the background of the soft life plot conflicts, the sharp conflicts in career are especially impact; while at the same time the subdued life-plot conflict provides a considerable degree of "authenticity", which helps buffer the "drama" of the career conflict and helps the audience identify with the career conflict...
This is the "Michael Clayton" The best part of the film.
The second saving grace is the excellent performance of the two supporting actors; the supporting actress, who has nothing to say, won Oscar; the supporting actor is also quite brilliant, personally I think the supporting actor came home with a big bag of bread, was bumped into by Michael, and the two "I am notyour enemy." "then who are you?" is the best part of the whole movie...
