Интересный, такой напряженный фильм. Удивляет каждую минуту новой версией, до самого конца.
Ричард Гир молодец. В роли адвоката отлично сыграл.
А в предыдущем фильме он играл психоаналитика. Тоже хорошо. Правда там фильм дурацкий, а этот хороший.
Было немного непривычно увидеть Лору Линни в образе стервы, но она и тут справилась.
А вот Эдвард Нортон, я заметила, мне больше нравится именно в своих ранних фильмах. Как здесь.
Он здесь такой милый, беззащитный, и не только ...

Концовка неопределенная, что с одной стороны хорошо. Всегда можно самому раскрасить картинку как по-твоему закончится фильм.
Я думаю герой Ричарда поступит правильно, и несмотря на свою ошибку, Эдвард получит то, чего он заслуживает.

If you want justice, go to a whorehouse. If you wanna get fucked, go to court.

I believe in the notion that people are innocent until proven guilty.
I believe in that notion because I choose to believe in the basic goodness of people.
I choose to believe that not all crimes are committed by bad people.
And I try to understand that some very, very good people do some very bad things.



читать дальшеWhen trying out for the role of the altar boy, Edward Norton went into the audition in character, complete with stutters and all, and this won his role.

This is Edward Norton's motion picture debut.

Leonardo DiCaprio was the producer's original choice for Aaron/Roy, who ultimately turned it down.

According to the Blu-ray behind-the-scenes information, the original rough cut of the film ran 3 hrs 15 min,
including more detailed exposition of Aaron's small-town country life and discussions with his former junior high school teacher.
The scenes were cut partly for running time and partly to avoid the producers 'tipping their hand" and alerting the audience to the ultimate ending.

According to the Blu-ray behind the scenes information, the ending exposition was running over 6 pages, and the writers realized that would take far too long.
Richard Gere and Edward Norton began to improv with it - encouraged by the director and writer - and pared the scene down to less than 2 pages with a much crisper ending.

According to the Blu-ray behind-the-scenes information, a second ending was considered during which Marty Vail would get Aaron/Roy back into court and justice would be done, vindicating him.
The idea was scrapped in favor of the egotistical Vail getting outsmarted by what appeared to be a dim country hick.

According to the Blu-ray behind-the-scenes information, it was Edward Norton's idea to stutter as "Aaron", as it appeared nowhere in the original book or sсript.
In addition, when "Roy" shoves Vail (Richard Gere) against the prison cell wall, Gere's shocked reaction is genuine, as that was another Norton ad-lib.
Yet another Norton ad-lib is Roy's slow clap at the end just before the exposition when Vail realized what had happened.
