"The Lament of Richard Jewell" is adapted from a real case, Richard was the first security guard to find a bomb in the bombing of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and thus saved countless people, became a hero, and in just a few days, he was transformed from a hero back to a suspect in the bombing because of the public opinion full of malicious speculation.
Public opinion is a knife, full of malicious rumors and speculations to slander others, and the tragedy of heroes shedding blood and tears is staged, which is not uncommon in our lives today. On the hot events that have reversed layer by layer on both ends of the Internet in three days, we can see a lot of clues.
What impressed me in the film was the film's delicate portrayal of the protagonist Richard, who in a sense is also the epitome of a kind of marginalized people, who work more really, are straight and less flexible, and perform their duties according to the rules, but they are considered by most people to be outliers, dead-eyed, and even a little stupid.
And let the good deeds after being maliciously slandered, their personalities can not help them to defend themselves well, grievances are buried in the heart, that kind of suffering makes people feel extremely depressed in the process of watching the movie, Richard in the movie is lucky, there is a calm and professional lawyer friend to help him, and not everyone, have such a good friend, and his luck.
Thinking of this, after watching this movie, I am still a little sad.
