Autumn 1977. Derek Springfield is an 18-year-old misfit, who 5 years earlier was plucked from his home in the industrial outskirts of Leeds to attend Public School on a scholarship. He has just returned home at the end of his studies to await his Oxbridge results that he's hoping will result in his permanent escape. Life at home is awkward for the brainy lad and embarrassing for his working class family who can't relate: his feckless dad, no-nonsense mum and two older brothers, one a football hopeful and the other a distinctly dodgy acquirer of flash consumer goods.
Derek kills time by walking a no hope greyhound, Slapper, and loving out-of-his league Chrissie from afar. But under Derek's loving care Slapper gets faster - so fast she's stolen for her racing potential. Derek despairs at being completely alone once more but Chrissie gets the local community to keep watch. Slapper eventually escapes from her furious captors at an illegal flapper track. Exhausted, she somehow finds her way back and is reunited with Derek who tries to nurse her back to health his bedroom without his family finding out.
Derek, Chrissie and Slapper disguise themselves to avoid the dognappers and try their luck at racing her at a proper dog track. The dognappers and all the Springfields converge on the stadium for the exciting climax.
Its also the day Derek's results are due...
编与导上的掌控力把很琐碎繁杂的长达百天的审判拍得通俗易懂，既不枯燥也不刻意煽情，更难得是从被审判者到审判者，每个人物都在有限的时间内被刻画得淋漓尽致。“Do you have contempt for your government? ” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.”所以，是「在“自由”地与强权对抗后仍旧感到巨大的无力」绝望，还是「连“自由”地对抗都不曾拥有」更绝望？
好一出以古讽今的大戏。索金注册商标式的剧本，一切都被设计得那么严丝合缝，好像就欠了一口令人销魂的仙气。
經歷過去兩年，戲中太多事彷如親眼見證，歷史如斯重演。「我從來沒有因為思想受過審判」，誠哉斯言
剧本写得很紧凑，演技都不错，真实历史故事很精彩，每个人物的wikipedia page都精彩纷呈啊。Ramsey Clark代理了萨达姆的辩护案。
这里也有左翼生存的空间吗？键政口嗨就好，街头闹事会影响三代考公的。这里不仅有民事、刑事、行政诉讼，还有政治审判（暴论）。
5/10。小雀斑在这里演技为负。看完了我还是没记住主角团任何一个人，反倒是记住了法官。君子和恶棍的对比像童话故事。《羞辱》的法庭戏比这部好一万倍，甚至《我控诉》都好于它。剧本好不好我存疑，电影感很差。也只能借古讽今了。
看到片头的弹出的N，自然而然就归类为网大想着轻松一把，没想到一开始就被抓住，法庭上的剑拔弩张的确精彩，倒是最后的结案陈词有点太刻意，要是大家那么容易被煽动到，也就没有这回事了。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
剪辑营造了叙事氛围，但为此也牺牲了流畅性，整体是种凌乱的观感。故事本身很值得记录，电影拍的精彩但套路，很"聚焦"，是冲着奥斯卡去的了。
奈飞在美国大选期间推出的60年代著名历史事件改编的政治法庭戏，挺有意思。人类现代社会是需要法律的，法律也是在不断地实践、反思、辩论、修正中进步。所以能拍、能看到这样题材之影片，很有意义。
人家的主旋律电影……结尾交待，霍夫曼法官在年度评级中，被78%的芝加哥庭审律师评为“不合格”！
B.不能乱啊
台词这么密，哦，果然是他编的。整个编剧既有节奏感，又有很多细节，效率高，感情传递和人物塑造也都很成功，词也很厉害，确实很强。演员也很出彩。每次看这种高水平的美国片，心里都很舒服，也比较放松。因为很多不成熟的电影，总是这样那样的问题，甚至一些艺术片，也由于作者个性太强，造成观感稍微有些累。看完这部，我甚至想多找一些历史的书籍看，觉得历史越来越好玩。七君子感觉主观性很强，由于片长限制，也不可能把更多的全貌表现出来，但非常精彩。
虽然到最后意识到是强烈的爱国主义片，但是真的感动，以及七君子中很多为何后续都没有善终
好片，这才是我想看到的六十年代，三个极左群体都特别鲜明，唯一可惜的是黑豹党戏份偏少了（虽然那句can you breathe一定是在指代BLM了）。少搞点Joker这样的假大空吧，历史里的真刀真枪还还嫌少吗？
the whole world is watching Shanghai
Aaron Sorkin的剧本一如既往的精彩，看得我热血沸腾，庭审辩论和游行闪回间的转接如行云流水，这剪辑也太强了！结尾有种虽败犹荣的自豪感，看着Tom Hayden念名字的时候，我禁不住落泪。这片子正好在2020年上映，也是独具时代意义的。
艺术来源于生活，真实的生活真实的故事最为动人。
（另外这片在豆瓣的排序跟《亲爱的同志》放一起，也不知道是有意无意，哈哈哈哈哈）
节奏非常好 最后一场戏的余味让我这两天跑步一直在想
