I. To Kill a Mockingbird

Audience Reviews: In the history of American cinema, there has never been a lack of movies about the issue of racism. Unlike the same type of movie, the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" is full of the freshness of life everywhere except the confrontation in the courtroom. This is also due to the fact that the movie is told from a child's point of view, breaking the heavy and serious atmosphere of traditional black-and-white movies. As an epoch-making masterpiece of symbolism, "To Kill a Mockingbird" drives home the idea of justice and equality, and is a classic of its time in the history of Hollywood cinema.

Synopsis: The town of Maycomb in the American South is home to a father, Finch, and a pair of children, and Finch is a local attorney who is brave enough to seek justice, and on this day, he receives a criminal case in which the defendant is a black man named Robinson, who is accused of assaulting a white woman. Such a case, in those days of considerable racial discrimination, Robinson's situation was worrisome. Even though Finch fought to uphold the facts and the justice of the law in the courtroom, finding evidence that Robinson had not committed a crime and breaking down the lies of witnesses, it was not enough to make people put aside their deep-rooted racial stereotypes. What's worse, white people with racial prejudice have made Finch a public enemy, and Robinson can't clear his name, an even more pathetic fate awaits him ......

Two, "Witness for the Prosecution"

Viewer Comments: Christine, a protagonist who arrived half an hour late. A talented and daring woman, a farce that begins with her and ends with her. Although the end of the movie is a bit idealistic, but still full of positive energy. Even though people have been swayed by their emotions to judge the case, in the end, good will be rewarded for evil, and for Wall, this is probably the cocoon he is in.

Synopsis: Lawyer Mayhew and his client, Wall, pay a visit to a famous criminal defense lawyer in London, Sir David Wakefield, to ask him to fight for the case. It turns out that the handsome Wall has befriended a rich woman, and the two of them are very happy to see each other.

However, the rich woman is brutally murdered. So Wall becomes the police's number one suspect. His only witness is his wife, Christine, but her indifference and calmness when she comes to the door makes Sir Welfi suspect that there is something else going on. Behind the confusing case, there is a hidden secret ......

Classic lines:

1. The scales of justice may occasionally deviate, but they will return to justice.

2. I never faint, save that I can't fall with grace.

3. killed him? No, she executed him.

3. 12 Angry Men

Viewer Comments: Whether it's the details of the case or the characterization and performances of many of the supporting characters, this movie is perfect. No one's presence is unnecessary; everyone represents some group in society. The personalities and identities are representative. In addition to the U.S., Russia also made 12 Angry Men: The Great Judgment, a movie that adds a uniquely Russian political element to the plot, which changes from an hour and a half to two hours and is a bit slow.

Synopsis: 12 Angry Men, a courtroom drama featuring a jury, is a classic exploration of the American jury system and legal justice. Twelve ordinary people, who have never known each other before and will probably never cross paths again, sit together for a murder case. It is these twelve people, selected by this system of justice to form the jury in this case, who are going to start deciding the fate of an eighteen year old boy, deciding whether he is guilty or innocent, alive or dead.

They did not know the law in the first place, nor did they seem to need to know the law, for they had been forced to come to the courtroom by nothing more than an obligation imposed by the law. They came from different families and backgrounds in life, had different occupations, had interests of their own that they cared more about, had different life experiences, and had their own preferences and personalities. In the process, each of their different outlooks on life also clash and compete ......

Classic Lines:

1. Search for the truth with the true meaning of life rather than the worldly perspective.

2. You will only go on discussing, the smallest of small details and forget the most important things.

3. A clear-headed person can lose his temper.

The above black-and-white movies, which have been widely and highly acclaimed, each with a brilliant plot and thoughtful content, they deserve to be appreciated by movie lovers.
