That was a compelling closing statement. It was so quiet in that courtroom you could hear a pin drop. Don’t want to ever have to go through something like that even if it’s just in a movie but real life like that does really happen.!
He knew he would kill them if they hurt his daughter so here he turns it around and makes the jury imagine it’s their daughter with three words. Now imagine she’s white.
Wanna know why Muslims hate the West and blow us up? INTELLECTUAL TERRORISTS THe people who act in this movie are evil Nazis will look down on these actors
I WONDER HOW THIS STORY WOULD BE IF AMERICA FOUND OUT A WHITE WOMANS LEGACY AND INHERITANCE THAT WAS IN HER FAMILY FOR 200 YEARS WAS STOLEN BY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. AND THAT HER FAMILY WAS BABIES ALL MINORS WHO DID NOT SPEAK CHRISTPHERS LANGUAGE AND THE WILL LEFT EVERYTHING TO THEM AND IT WAS HIDE FROM HER FOR 52 YEARS OF HER LIFE, SHE WAS GATE KEPT, INTINALLY IGNORANTLY EDUCATED IN THEIR SCHOOLS, WITH MANIPULATION AND LIES THAT HIDE THE FACTS OF WHO SHAE WAS. WHILE HER ANCESTORS REMAINS WERE DUG UP AND USED FOR WEAPONS IN BIOCHEMICAL WARFARE. HEALTHCARE ETC. AMERICA WOULD LOSE IT ENTIRE MIND FIGHTING FOR HER RIGHTS. AND PEOPLE HAVE THE UNMITIGATED GAUL TO SAY EQUALITY. LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. WHERE I ASK IS JUSTICE IN A COURT SYSTEM FULL OF CORRUPPTION. IN A LEGAL SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS THAT CORRUPTION. AND IN A CONGRESS AND SENATE THAT FINANCE AND SUPPORT THAT CORRUPTION. 398 YEARS AFTER THIS TRAGIC THEFT. I THOUGHT I LIVED IN A COUNTRY WITH DECENCY AND MORALITY. I WAS FOOLED BY THE KINDNESS OF MANY IN MY LIFE. I GREW UO AROUND PEOPLE WHO LOVED AND SUPPORTED ONE ANOTHER EVEN IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD TAKE YOUR MONEY BECUASE THEY NEEDED IT AND HELP THE ONE YOU ARE GOING AGAINST WITH IT BECUASE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I HAD RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO WORKED HARD TO ATTAIN A LEGACY AND CAREER FOR THEIR FAMILIES. FINDING OUT MY FAMILIY HAS A LEGACY THAT SPANS SPACE AND TIME AND IS IMMORTALIZED IN HISTORY UNTOUCHABLE AND UNSTOPPABLE BY THE CORRUPT AND CROCKED POWERS THAT BE MAKES MY HEART DANCE A JIG. MY SON IS A HONORABLE MAN AND I GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THE PRIVELAGE TO RAISE HIM. MY DAUGHTER HAS ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE MINDS AND THOUGHFUL SPIRITS AND BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITIES YOU WOULD EVER MEET. BEING A MOTHER TO THESE TO HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ADVENTURE AND A HONOR. MY GRANDKIDS ARE THE SWEETEST JOY EVER IN MY LIFE. THEY DESERVE THIS MOMENT IN TIME JUST AS MUCH AS ANYONE OF YOUR CHILDREN DESERVES THE LEGACIES THAT YOU CREATED FOR THEM. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER THE SIZE OF THE PRIZE IN THE WILL. IT IS THE LAW THE LAW THELAW THAT THE EXECUTOR OF A WILL BE HONORED AND THE HEIR BE HONORED. I AM WHO I AM AND I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR OWNING EVERYTHING AND BEING ROYALTY. DONALD TRUMP AND KAMILLA HARRIS ARE RUNNING A DUMMY CAMPAIGN. ON JANUARY 4TH 2024 THE UNITED STATES VOTING SYSTEM CHANGED FOREVER. NW YOU WILL VOTE ON ISSUES AND NOT PRESIDENCIES. AS WE NO LONGER HAVE A PRESIDENT BUT AMONARCHY A QUEEN. AND THIS IS NOT MY CHOOSING BUT MY BIRTH RITE. THEY STOLE THIS I WAS BORN INTO IT. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

I lowered the volume. I like this film and know this speech well. Iv my own daughter but i just dont need memory tefreshed seen the film 20 times✔ if it was my daughter, i wouldent be in custody or facing trial either ✔
Never ever understood racism whatsoever !! It literally makes zero sense..the colour of our skin like seriously ? I think on behalf of all fathers and parents that a quick shooting is a very lucky way to be killed compared to what us fathers would do in these circumstances..great movie, great acting and very hard to digest.
The color of the skin coincides with the culture. The reality of the world we live in, FAR especially here in America, is that certain races of people are just vile human beings. This is because of their culture that they harness and how they raise their own. These cultures are taught to be violent, disobedient towards law-enforcement, and to blame other races for their downfall when they created the situation they’re in and until you have to deal with these people for a living you’ll never know what they’re like firsthand. When 13.47% of the US population population make up 71.3% of ALL CRIME NATIONALLY there’s some form of justification for the race hating to an extent. Simply hitting someone because of skin color alone is asinine. But once you understand that culture behind the skin color it becomes to make a lot of sense for the dislike.
I cried at the cruelty and absolute disregard for a human life, let alone a child. The final sentence was so gut wrenching! What a great actor. What an important message!
Cyberfriend We are the only two I have seen say negative stuff What does graphic stuff do? So many studies It rips the American psyche Yet virtually no one takes Hollywood to task Like 1930 and 40s Germany ?? Yes Scary
I was 26 when this came out, clueless about a lot of things, trying to decide about the kind of person I wanted to be. I remember watching this movie, THIS SCENE in this movie. The thing that struck me was watching the fall of an idealist. The way he says what he says, says he hopes he's wrong but he knows he's not, and it kills him. If what he says works, then a little part of him dies, but that he would say these things to save his client.
This has gone on long enough, it’s too much, we call ourselves civilized? Children are not born with hatred it’s a learned emotion. STOP teaching them lies and hate, let us raise above be the people we aspire to be, it’s not that hard, let us seek love and peace 🙏😎
Only in the movies. In real life, if a defense attorney said this, the prosecuting attorney would call for an automatic mistrial. It's called misleading the jury.
Imagine having to live through this. And still be expected to be kind and loving and help the very ones who did and continue to do this to you. Does it ever stop? And then to have ppl think the little they gave could ever mean anything. You have no idea how to live through this. And see the carelessness from everyone not caring. Not even a little bit.
This was John Grisham's first novel, I remember reading it before watching the movie. It was powerful in the book but Matthew knocked it out of the park in the movie.
Matthew in this movie was on a whole different level. This is without a doubt his greatest performance of his career and may possibly be one of the best performances of all time. I remember the first time I watched this movie, it was about 11 or so years ago and I had just become a father. I 100% sobbed like a baby during this scene. Honestly, I don't know how Matthew made it through without breaking down. I'm curious if this scene was shot in one take or if he had to reshoot it. Either way, the emotion on display in this scene is 100% real. No little girl, no family, no father should ever have to go through something like this ever, regardless of race. I understand why that was an important factor in this particular time period, but honestly, my heart would break for that family whether they were White, Black, Yellow, Blue, or Purple. I don't need to imagine she's white because she's a little girl and that's enough for me. This movie is one of my favorite all time movies and I will watch it probably 10,000 more times before I die.
