“Few people know it, but one must have all the virtues in order to sleep well. …And even if one have all the virtues, there is still one thing needful: to send the virtues themselves to sleep at the right time. That they may not quarrel with one another, the good females! And about thee, … Continue reading Adam’s Rib: A Story of Good Sleep

A Civil Action: More Truthful Than Erin Brockovich
This is probably one of the best law films ever made. Travolta does a stunning job in his performance and the plot is spectacular. However, I think many of the arguments made in the beginning by the character come from fallacies and terrible value judgments. For example, the idea that you can’t feel bad for … Continue reading A Civil Action: More Truthful Than Erin Brockovich
12 Angry Men
“I don’t know.” - words more profound than anything in the average Hollywood script.

Issues of bias, challenging the assumptions of the court, of the credibility of testimony, of the credibility of … Continue reading 12 Angry Men
Anatomy of a Murderer: Why Feminism makes us superior!
“Injustice and filth cast they at the lonesome one: but, my brother, if thou wouldst be a star, thou must shine for them none the less on that account! And be on thy guard against the good and just! They would fain crucify those who devise their own virtue—they hate the lonesome ones.” Thus Spake … Continue reading Anatomy of a Murderer: Why Feminism makes us superior!

I don’t really understand what the film’s central theme meant though. To the best of my observations, it seems to be a complete mess of clichés and … Continue reading The Paper Chase
Breaker Morant: A glimpse upon human apathy
The only reason that war criminals aren’t effectively punished is because of this pitiful argument within movies that soldiers killing innocent people aren’t ever truly guilty of their heinous crimes. The moral of the story in these shameful movies? A soldier isn’t responsible for killing people. The implications that nobody will focus on? The value … Continue reading Breaker Morant: A glimpse upon human apathy
My Cousin Vinny
The film was very comedic from start to finish; the entire cast did a good job in their performance. Shockingly, the trial performance seemed more accurate than the other films that were viewed; this is despite the fact that it seemed more oriented towards being a slice-of-life film than a Law-related film. An interesting segment … Continue reading My Cousin Vinny
