In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.
In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain.
The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.
喬說那時他在芝加哥公車上遇見過William Kunstler，向他表達了敬意，就在七人案審判期間。比照如今…一言難盡。
热评给我看笑了。无可挑剔的台词被说成匠气，音乐一般带着激情又优美律动的剪辑被说成凌乱，只能说这种观众配不上Sorkin。单单是Dave在法庭上无意识打了警察然后不停道歉就值得本信徒再看100遍。
女机长这段好感动🥲，连小动物也有人照料好有人文关怀哦
精致的剧本是本片最大看点。面对一场长达五个月、复杂且琐碎的庭审，要在俩小时里编织成一个戏剧实在不易，但索金完全做到了，把庭审、庭外和前情三条线做了不落窠臼的精妙穿插，好几场平行剪辑戏的台词写得漂亮极了！编剧还有意弱化了最容易调动观众情绪的暴动戏，有意略去了当年请金斯伯格等名人出庭作证的噱头。可惜索金的导演功力还是欠火候，否则这片就是又一部精彩绝伦的《社交网络》！
其实片中很多处借着精妙的台词和剪辑都具备了极强的感染力，听了你仿佛都会觉得自己就是美国人。但最后一幕念名字看似来势汹汹，实则煽情失败，所有人如站在美国国旗下庄严致敬一般，却也让人清醒过来意识到：哦这终究还是美国呢
索金写法庭戏值得期待。Netflix 10月16上
集中的群像实际只有三个半在线，唇枪舌剑没有实质性内容。
看到一半没看懂从头一气呵成看完。西方自由主义的精神就在于此吧…
210424@ sfm：这剧本太八面玲珑的吧，庭审戏也很爽。半年庭审前因后果俩小时完成不乏味。看的时候忍不住想这两年隔岸看到的新闻、那部不能说的提名纪录片和现在正在进行的审判。就算能理解历史总会翻页，但身处其中的人呢？Abbie Hoffman角色设定太高光了。
甘德人民在突发情况下热情接待各地旅客，人人之间相互信任，多么美好
庭审戏是精华，影片的真正魅力却不单单局限于替左派发声，更是对美国司法体制的完美演绎——你首先是一位公民，其次才是人民。
豆瓣高分反映的恐怕更多是情绪和倾向，电影本身很普通。小雀斑和“波拉特”之间的对手戏最值得一看，进入体制改变体制还是嘲讽批判加死磕？恐怕是每个反抗者都要面临的关键抉择。Mark Rylance的演技很好但律师这个角色以及长发造型真的不适合他。
这世界充满苦难与未知的恐惧，但是总有一些阳光与温暖，总有一些东西让我们感受到阳光与温暖，于是我们还能继续活着
爸，警察打你怎么办？警察怎么会打我呢？我和平、守法而有礼貌。结果，哈哈。1968 Chicago; 2019⋯⋯。
米国主旋律，索金台词和剪辑设计的挺好，导的就比较平庸。Sacha人设最讨喜，Frank Langella的法官演得最好，小雀斑挺拉胯。
看完偷自行车的人听听反派影评，回想一下，索金大大还可以加油哈哈哈
朋友，给我一点时间吧，这是我的思想，第一次接受审判。
C.不能改变体制就加入体制
女机长饰演者的姬气真的溢出屏幕惹…她说台词有丈夫和孩子的一瞬间让人好出戏lol
