Newton, in the western suburbs of Boston
Known as "America's Safest City"
It is far from the bustling city, there is no pungent exhaust in the air, and the folk customs are simple...
Therefore, it also attracts most families with capital to take root here.
And the story starts here...
Andy, 22 years as an Assistant Local Attorney in the area
A happy family, with a lovely child, can be said to be a complete life
He works well and can be called "top notch" here
Therefore, in general cases, large and small, his boss is also very relieved to let him handle it.
However, there are generally no "cases" happening here, so he is also happy to relax.
However, this "leisure" was broken in an unusual spring...
Hello everyone
Today, I will tell you about the new drama "Defending Jacob" starring "Captain America"
Think about it, at this time last year, "Avengers 4" was released
With Iron Man on the glove, snap that finger
It's been a long time since we saw "heroes" on the big screen in cinemas
As the epidemic swept the world, the original "Black Widow" was postponed until November.
And just then, the good news came
"Amazing Rescue" starring "Thor" and "Defending Jacob" of "Captain America" were quietly broadcast
This made us, who haven't seen the new work for a long time, widen our eyes.
If "Brother Hammer" played "Shocking Rescue", it made people's blood burst, and it was extremely happy
Then this "Defending Jacob" makes everyone feel that there are clouds of suspicion and hidden secrets
It can be said that not much
When it comes to Mr. Tao, the first thing that comes to mind is "Captain America"
Yes, this character has indeed been deeply ingrained into everyone's minds. Just like "Harry Potter", when everyone talks about little Daniel, they will immediately bring the label "Harry Potter"
It is easy for a drama to bring fire to an actor, but it is also easy to "label" the actor
And this "Defending Jacob" may make Mr. Tao jump out of this label
Although he is a hero this time, he is only a hero of one person!
"Defending Jacob" is not only a strong male protagonist, but also a famous wife and child in his play
Wife is Miss Michelle Dockery from "Downton Abbey"
And his son is also Jayden Martell, who starred in "The Clown Returns to the Soul" young Bill.
Such three people form a warm little family
And this kind of warmth was completely shattered because of a murder case.
One morning, just after finishing a case, Andy walked out of the courtroom and received a call from a colleague
It turned out that someone found a body in the park, it was a 15-year-old boy from the school
After this incident, public opinion spread in this originally quiet and harmonious town for a while, and the residents were all in danger. After all, most of the people here have children, and they are all in the nearby schools.
Originally, Andy, who was a prosecutor, had no shirk in this matter.
But this time, the "supervisor" did not let Andy take over the case, but let his counterpart at work handle the case
At first, Andy felt it was unfair, but as the case deepened, various doubts gradually pointed to his son Jacob...
Just a little bit of wind pushed the Andy family to the cusp of the storm
The police station searched the door, and Jacob was also brought back to the police station as a suspect for questioning
Neighbors speak ill of
However, the clues so far have only found that the victim's clothes have Jacob's fingerprints, but as classmates, it is normal for them to have fingerprints on their clothes.
For a time, the wall was pushed down by everyone, and Jacob's usual friend stood up and made a sound for the first time.
"He has a knife, he is the one who kills with a knife, he is the murderer"
On the Internet, the classmates also said that Jacob was the murderer without hesitation.
When there is no trial in the law, everyone has already stood on the moral high ground and identified him as a criminal
It is said that gossip ends with the wise, but the wise are few and far between
More are ordinary people, they are fearless, follow the public, have no own opinions, listen to the wind is the rain
What's more, relying on the high-hanging thoughts that the matter has nothing to do with oneself, distort the truth of the matter
As the saying goes, "God doesn't give birth to me as a keyboard warrior, let the keys come"
In fact, this film is not just about how to find the murderer behind the scenes
I think it's more about trying to explain the terribleness of blindly following the trend and the terribleness of public opinion.
After all, in the midst of a lot of discord, if you don't follow the public, you will be isolated as an "other"
But people don't put themselves in their shoes to think about it so much. After all, "what does it have to do with me" and "everyone says so, and I say so, nothing will happen" have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But only when you are deeply involved in this kind of thing can you imagine how "stupid" you were at that time
It is worth mentioning that our US team paid tribute to "Iron Man" at the beginning of the plot, which is also a small easter egg.
At present, "Defending Jacob" has been updated to the third episode, the word of mouth is beginning to appear, and the feeling of Mr. Tao being a father is also refreshing for everyone, and we can continue to look forward to the next plot trend.
Finally, I want to tell you
Don't blindly follow the trend, don't blindly follow the leader, maybe things will happen to you!
