Law and Humanity

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2015)

A must see for every lawyer. Brilliant depiction of a father, a lawyer and a human being by Gregory Peck. Gives a picture of the discrimination which was prevalent in those times. The scene where the little boy eats the syrup is thoughtful as to the food crisis. The movie enumerates the lives of people ostracised in the society. Court room scenes also show the attention seeking behaviours of the society and the weakness of jury system and it's susceptibility to bias. However child characters keep the audience intrigued. I have not read the novel and not from USA. But it's one of my favourite movies. The ending is quite cryptic. It sometimes pose a challenge to the audience. The interpretation, however is subject to each viewer.
