In court Edith reveals all to an angry mob. Written by Ed Stephan {[email protected]}
Richard Hardy, a hardworking stockbroker, labors overtime to keep up with the ruinous bills incurred by his beautiful but irresponsible wife Edith, a venal, spoiled socialite who is impervious to his pleas for fiscal restraint. Acting on what she believes to be an insider information, she impulsively embezzles $10,000 from the Red Cross charity she chairs for a stock tip. When she finds the money has been lost, she desperately turns to a Japanese ivory trader with whom she has been thoughtlessly flirting and persuades him to replace the money in exchange for an assignation. When her husband's long-awaited business deal finally materializes, she desperately tries to withdraw from their agreement by replacing the money. Angered and disappointed with her resistance to his advances, he uses a branding device to mark her shoulder as his property. Feeling violated, Edith shoots him in the shoulder and leaves. In order to protect his wife's reputation, Richard confesses to the crime and faces trial for attempted murder. Written by Gabe Taverney ([email protected])
哎，其实有时候很多人只是不明白一个道理…………在某国，有思想洁癖和抱负的人要不出国移民，要不含恨终身……剩下的，只有镰刀和韭菜
哇好棒的电影，这么繁杂的故事都被讲得明明白白~这个故事告诉我们司法系统、警察什么的如果没有完善体制，难道要指着执行人的道德约束吗？那怎么可能靠得住。这个可怕的一个人（没有基本人格人品的人）居然能当上大法官，成功让司法和行政搅和在一起，成为权力游戏的走狗，这难道不违宪？你们引以为傲的三权分立又在哪里呢。
能面对自己，拍出这种题材的影片就已经是一种自由自信让人羡慕
熟悉的艾伦索金味道，高密度台词+政治题材，法庭上的唇枪舌战，配合着事件回顾和真实影像的蒙太奇，看得人确实很激动
期待错了方向，以为庭审是重点然而只是线索。耗时冗长甚至可笑的审判过程带出了事件的回顾，人物形象也建立得很好（主要是Sacha Baron Cohen）。戏里与当代的美国变得如此相像，但结局方向却很难猜测。
至少不要人云亦云，不要以为自己的出发点是“无敌”的，是“好”的，就停止思考。
极度热血而理想主义，但是最震撼的却也是这理想主义，因为你知道这些都是历史上确确实实发生过的。天下的政权们——过往或今朝——大抵是相似的。
for the present. 但导演真不是谁都能干的…
不管反抗或是批判理由正确与否，都该允许这些的声音发出，而不是将每个人的耳朵堵住欺骗大家这是完美的社会，然后惩罚每一个敢于为了社会美好做出改变的改革者们。自欺欺人真的可笑，被麻痹的芸芸众生也着实可笑，敢于批判和革命的少数人不可笑，因为他们是英雄。

有时候不感兴趣，是个老大难问题。再一看到约瑟夫·高登·莱维特就更懊恼。居然支持港独，什么鬼！
导演的场景调度能力好强！前面半个小时，我一直在想为什么要看这个？后面越来越投入！节奏快，思路清晰！
太工整了，一百二十分作文，少见的极左但不至于太讨厌的作品。political trial，唯一用生命抗争的，是名字和数量没有出现在事件中的黑人。
别人有四年一次的纠错能力 我们呢 倒车开的溜溜的

够左，对立冲突制造到位，虽然结尾挺煽情，但看得荡气回肠，喜欢剪辑和节奏，何况还都是钟意的演员
电影所呈现出来的观点跟这个预设了审判结果的法官又有什么两样呢
