TheVerdict-8/10

TheVerdict是一部关于法律和正义的电影，虽然有不少情节不太真实，但是还是能够给观众带来不小的心灵冲击。西方法律体系下的陪审团给人以希望，俗话说世间自有公道，公道自在人心，西方的陪审团往往能够起到纠正腐败和弥补法律漏洞的作用，这恐怕在中国是不可能实现的事情。PaulNewman结尾处的演讲太精彩了，引全文如下：Youknow,somuchofthetimewerejustlost.Wesay,quot;Please,God,telluswhatisright;telluswhatistrue.quot;Andthereisnojustice:therichwin,thepoorarepowerless.Webecometiredofhearingpeoplelie.Andafteratime,webecomedead...alittledead.Wethinkofourselvesasvictims...andwebecomevictims.Webecome...webecomeweak.Wedoubtourselves,wedoubtourbeliefs.Wedoubtourinstitutions.Andwedoubtthelaw.Buttodayyouarethelaw.YouAREthelaw.Notsomebook...notthelawyers...notthe,amarblestatue...orthetrappingsofthecourt.Seethosearejustsymbolsofourdesiretobejust.Theyare...theyare,infact,aprayer:aferventandafrightenedprayer.Inmyreligion,theysay,quot;Actasifyouhadfaith...andfaithwillbegiventoyou.quot;IF...ifwearetohavefaithinjustice,weneedonlytobelieveinourselves.AndACTwithjustice.See,Ibelievethereisjusticeinourhearts.
