长篇影评
1 ) Closing remarks by Bryan Stevenson
“I believe we are all more than the worst thing we have ever done. We are a slave state but we are more than enslavers. We are a lynching state but we are more than lynchers. We are a segregation state but that’s not all we are. The other things we are create an opportunity to do things that are restorative, that are rehabilitative, that are redemptive, that create possibilities of reconciliation and repair. I get frustrated when I hear people talking about how if I have been living during the time of slavery of course I would have been an abolitionist. And most people think that if they had been living when mobs were gathering to lynch black people in the court house lawn they would have said something. Everybody images that if they were in Alabama in the 1960s they would have been marching with Dr.King. And the truth of it is, I don’t think you can claim that if today you’re watching these systems being created that are incarcerating millions of people, throwing away the lives of millions of people, destroying communities, and you’re doing nothing.
“I think that there’s something better waiting for us in this country, than another century of conflict and tension, and burden ‘cause we won’t face the legacy of our past. I think it’s important that we understand all the brutal, all the ugly details, ‘cause those are the things that actually give rise to what might allow us to one day claim something really beautiful.”
People would ask you that do you still trust the system which convict you ,he answered ,but it’s still the system that get me out ,so it’s no good or bad for the system ,it’s those people that controlled the system we should watch out
If you fight for the poor,if you push against systems that are rooted and heavy,if you keep pushing and you keep fighting and you keep doing,you’re going to get broken.when I realized,is that I am part of the broken community.And you realize that you don’t have a choice,in standing up for the rights of the other broken.
我相信。我们能改变
这是一部有着非凡意义的纪录片，讲述美国的死刑制度与种族问题之间的联系，进而去反思美国司法体系、社会舆论以及历史解读等层面出现的偏差。法律与正义的确是两个概念，法律规定了罪恶，正义却是要找出事实的真相以及正确的处理方式，司法应该是在符合正义的前提下贯彻法律，而不是用法律来实现社会问题的正当化。美国政府总是倾向批判其他国家没有人权，但显然美国政府是用遗忘而不是记住来应对自身的人权问题——从种族问题到女性权益。剧中的律师Bryan这样的民间人士是伟大的，因为他并没有只是痛心草菅人命的政府，而是投身进去帮助更多的人获得司法公正，他是真正的民权运动家。
Stevenson真是伟人。关于lynching和死刑冤案形式的legal lynching的讨论真的还远远不够，既然还有人在亲身体验那样的血腥残酷，我们旁观者至少能做到睁开眼见证吧
The title seems inadequate or at least too comprehensive for this film. The story has a lean and glass-cutting voice, singing a tune abt racial bias & nation's legislative evolvement. So the accent is not on TRUE but true to ALL. And that's where sentiment may cloud judgement, in which I mean this doco'd benefit from more legal-wise exhibiting
一个执着的律师，能把种族、私刑等阴暗历史拿出来讲，能挽救很多生命，很不易。片子旁白说美国政府不肯道歉，谁愿意承认错误呢？尤其是和自己宣扬的内容矛盾、无法自圆其说的事情。另外我们的非黑即白的教育宣传结果，看这样的片子很容易走入挑人家毛病的状态，真正的主义总是受权力限制的，都一样。
五次在最高院胜诉，帮助被无辜死囚脱罪，用艺术性的手法让一段历史变得可触摸。这些都是好故事，可是片子讲故事的能力弱了一些，变成了人权律师一个人的结辩散文。社会伤痕的修复需要很长时间，当社会选择不去修复一段伤痕，而是去忽视一段伤痕的时候，那种漠视的悲凉是以一代人、一代人作为计量单位才能消化的。
True Justice: Bryan Stevenson's Fight for Equality
相信所有看过这个纪录片的人，都不会再对黑人说出N开头的单词
肤色………………
在圣经里受到诅咒的黑人，在获救之后仍然虔诚地说着“thank you，Jesus”，太令人难过了
humenality
提供了一个看待反对死刑的全新的视角。在这段叙述之前，我从来只以为美国人总是希望司法更加宽容是因为他们信仰的宗教而带来的自我感动，但从一个种族从历史的角度来看，确实有很多更能引起共鸣的解释。
