On a hot summer afternoon in New York, Emma Jones gossips with other neighbors in her residential building about the affair that Mrs. Anna Maurrant and the milkman Steve Sankey are having. When the rude and unfriendly Mr. Frank Maurrant arrives, they change the subject. Meanwhile, their teenage daughter Rose Maurrant is being sexually pressured by her married boss Mr. Bert Easter. She does however very much like her kind young Jewish neighbor Sam, who has a serious crush on her.
The next morning, Frank Maurrant tells his wife that he is traveling to Stamford on business. Mrs. Maurrant meets the gentle Sankey in her apartment, but out of the blue Frank comes back home. He realizes his wife is upstairs with Sankey, and runs upstairs. We hear shots and see the two men struggling as Sankey tries to escape through the window. Maurrant runs out with a gun. He has killed Sankey and fatally wounded his wife.
Maurrant is apprehended and is led away by police. He apologizes to his daughter Rose, who will now have to take care of herself and her young brother without either parent. Rose's boss offers once again to set her up in her own apartment, but she refuses. Then she sees Sam, and tells him she wants to leave the city. Sam pleads with her to let him go with her, but she tells him it will be better for the two of them to have a couple of years apart before they consider becoming a couple. Rose walks off down the street by herself.
索金目前的两部导演作品都是看完Act 3冲动多打一星。这里的剧本是加分项，但是如果给芬奇这类导演拍，原封照着剧本拍也是4星，if that make any sense...可能最合适还是拍成mini-series。以及雀斑选角好灾难...
Captain大爱😍😍😍，一对G从枫叶国吵回美帝最后分手，像极了人间小情侣🤣
看过艾伦·索金最不好看的作品，作为剧作家成名的艾伦在本片中少了以往的犀利和讽刺。除了马克·里朗斯和弗兰克·兰格拉的表演，其他演员都显得尴尬、做作，感觉有种历史传记的大包袱驼在身上。除了噱头和煽动反抗情绪，不知道这部影片还有什么作用。
近年来编过的最难的稿子里，一个个人名忽然都活了过来，活在了最爱的编剧写的、导的电影里。
"it's nothing compare to the contempt my gouvernment has for me"
花了这么久，断断续续的，终于看完了。就我而言，俏皮的学生作品，才气和趣味性并重，但本人多关注的一些议题没能延续。开头极佳，后面的剧情编排和台词也和我胃口，但是，属于电影本身的魅力，缺少了一些。
“比起政府对我的藐视，我的藐视不值一提。”
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。
用一个词来形容就是平庸，剧情平庸，叙事平庸，演员平庸，里朗斯和小雀斑、囧瑟夫基本没什么发挥空间，反倒法官施展的比较尽兴。不过这类写实的片子意义大于内容，看过的好多基本都是这个水准。
精彩！故事本身就是一个很复杂的议题，涵盖的关系、势力、思想很多，索金编剧也是厉害，每一条线都细节丰富，每个人物都个性分明，没有一个纸片人，同时主角也十分突出。整个过程科普了很多六十年代的历史，也有很多可以对照现实的值得思考的点。看完有点失落，我看过了十九世纪的故事，看过了六十年代的故事，我也想看有人讲今年的故事，讲去年的故事，讲三十年前的故事。还有可能吧。一代人的溃败，总有下一代人怀抱短刃上路的明天。
很好的音乐剧，但这是一个音乐剧的录像带，而不是电影。
既工整纯熟，又曲折激情。Sorkin 就适合制作这类历史性或纪实性强的片子，节奏感好的一批。4.5星。
Sorkin挺鸡贼的，最后找了一个平衡点做了一个平衡，将司法不公和行为事实拆开来看了，以完成故事的道德前提，又借吵架做了一次思想的左右互搏...
索金编剧依旧出色，导演功力比《茉莉牌局》有明显进步。
开篇一段剪辑凌厉，不了解这段历史的观众需自行查阅补充背景，中间利用庭审来逐段还原事件的真面目，但索金的意图明显不是深挖而是借古喻今。前半段法庭戏好似疲于奔命的美剧，后半段金句频出，可惜全都是浮于表面的论述，大概索金还是驾驭不了如此宏大的叙事。只能说今时今日回顾这段历史的意义肯定大于索金拍出来的意义。
异常中的日常，是覆盖生活的全方位关怀，那些集体记忆中珍贵的情感和善意，会跨越时间给受困的人类带来力量。没想到全剧只有十二个演员，场景转换，人物多样，内容多元，让人感动，催人振奋，是可以排进前三的音乐剧了。
是否是在暗示老美民众，他们正在过着跟1968相似的时代？
编排完美，歌舞和这种题材太搭了，让人激情昂扬。只有在困境中才能看出一个地方的素质，是否能考虑到尽可能多的情况，关心少数群体，保护动物，人们互相帮助载歌载舞，这才是人性的闪光之处。女机长的独唱更是激励人心。
世界上有这么多优秀专业的创作人士，我平凡得就像一棵草☹️
