rainmaker

The fledgling Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon) is a newcomer to the legal profession. The first case that Rudy took on was a lawsuit involving Medicare claims. Helpless mother, dying son, insurance company refusing to pay medical bills, defense lawyer unscrupulous, everything is very different from what was originally envisioned. In the face of the dark side of the struggling industry and the disadvantaged groups in distress, Rudy never gave up his righteous heart. Another main line of the film is a battered young woman who suffers from domestic violence. The film uses a realistic approach to depict us a moral battle to defend justice.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by John Grisham.

    What does the ending mean? American realism themes. Heaven will not exist. Every lawyer may cross the line, and the more the line is crossed, the more the line does not exist.

    I mistakenly thought this film was "Rain Man", and found that Damon ran out. The rainmaker represents giving charcoal in the snow, which is not bad. Just who can tell me which of the two words law and justice was invented earlier?

The Rainmaker quotes

  • Judge Kipler: Mr. Drummond... you objected to the fast-tracking of this case. What's the problem?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well, your honor... this issue's already been ruled upon by Judge Hale. The preparations required by fast-tracking the case place undue burden upon both parties, I believe.

    Judge Kipler: [scribbling on a notepad and not looking up] Nonsense.

    [stands up]

    Judge Kipler: Let me ask you something, Mr. Drummond. As a defense lawyer, have your EVER agreed to the fast-tracking of a lawsuit?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well your honor, I believe I have.

    Judge Kipler: [begins to laugh as he sits back down] Fine. Give me the name of the case and the court it was in.

    Leo F. Drummond: [laughs nervously] Well, your honor... I have to get back to you on that.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me this afternoon by three.

    Leo F. Drummond: I don't believe I'm going to be in before three.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me when you get in. I'm very interested in hearing about this case you agreed to fast-track.

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes sir.

    Judge Kipler: This boy's about to die, gentlemen. You do agree that we need to record his testimony?

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes indeed... of course, your honor. It's just that my trial calendar is pushin' me around pretty good.

    Judge Kipler: How about next Thursday afternoon?

    Rudy Baylor: Great for me, your honor.

    Leo F. Drummond: I'm sorry, your honor.

    Judge Kipler: That's a week from today.

    Leo F. Drummond: I believe I'm out of town.

    [beat]

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes, I am out of town Thursday.

    Judge Kipler: The deposition is set for next Thursday afternoon at 2pm.

    [smiles]

    Judge Kipler: Sorry if it inconveniences the defense, but God knows there's enough of you guys to handle it.

    [Rudy smiles]

  • Kelly Riker: [Cliff has just trashed the house and buried Rudy under a refrigerator... Kelly rushes to Cliff] RUDY... RUDY! Cliff, you idiot! What are you doing!

    Cliff Riker: [grabbing Kelly around the throat] You see what you did! Kelly, you see what you did? It's not my fault! I love you... I love you!

    [Rudy gets back up and yanks Cliff by the air and off Kelly and they resume fighting... Cliff pulls out a gun, Rudy grabs a baseball bat and hits Cliff with it]

    Kelly Riker: RUDY!

    [he hits Cliff some more with the bat]

    Kelly Riker: Stop it, Rudy! Stop.

    [Cliff groans]

    Kelly Riker: Give me the bat... and leave.

    Rudy Baylor: [dumbfounded] What?

    Kelly Riker: Give me the bat... and leave. You were not here tonight. Give me the bat.

    [Rudy complies and Kelly finishes Cliff off after Rudy walks out]
