Scattered impressions

Question: Why does the CIA want to protect Julia.

Cross-dressing: After retrieving Garcia's belongings, the two escaped from the car. They only brought paper documents, but no bags and video tapes.

The job of the president is to tease the dog and make a show. There are staff who come up with ideas.

Can the president ask the head of the FBI not to investigate someone? No, otherwise it would be interference with justice. Remember that in reality, the president cannot (full) control the attorney general. The separation of powers and checks and balances (including the separation of powers between superiors and subordinates) is the kingly way.

The ultimate guarantee of rights lies not in the constitution and the judge, but in Denzel's access to a gun in the cabin.

The girl playing Alice (Julia's classmate) is very familiar, and I can't remember who it is.

Also, Julia looks like a cousin of mine, haha.

    Very compact, very realistic, and directed at the President of the United States. Hollywood of that era was really good movies!

    Watching old films in 2010, I really feel that the plots are very similar. Maybe it's an imitation.

The Pelican Brief quotes

    Darby Shaw: I called the paper and asked for your address.

    Gray Grantham: And?

    Darby Shaw: I told them I was your sister Mary in from out of town and couldn't find you.

    Gray Grantham: [looks surprised] How'd you know I had a sister Mary?

    Darby Shaw: You're not the only one who does research.

  • Parklane Administrator: [Gray is watching Darby on the stairs as he walks in] Mr. Grantham?

    Gray Grantham: [Quickly looks down] Great architecture.
