Today is the second day that my teacher shows the movie for us. Last time, we reached in the scene that Jake talking with his wife, Carla, at the airport. For the rest of the story is about the fighting in courtroom between Jake Brigance, defendant and Rufus Buckley, District Attorney. Another side of courtroom is the fighting of Ku Klux Klan and Black People, the difference of two sides is strategy. Inside courtroom, Jake and Rufus were attacking each others with their speech and evidence. Outside Courtroom, Ku Klux Klan and Black People were attacking each others by forced.
Carl Lee's opportunity seems to be destroyed by Rufus when he discredited an important professional witness of the defendant, Dr.W.T. Bass. Rufus informed the jury about the felony case of Dr.Bass which he raped an under teenager. Then, Jake and Carl Lee had an argument about this. Carl Lee felt that Jake also looks down at him as black people in the same way like another white people do.
When the final speech of Rufus Buckley and Jake Brigance came....Rufus probably win this game, he shouted at the jury "Carl Lee must be found Guilty!!!". Then, when Jake had the right to annouce his final speech. He told the jury that he had a story to tell them. When the jury closed their eyes, he told them to picture a little girl was attacked by the two rapists, beaten and raped. She was a white little girl.
Outside courtroom was in silence, the both Ku Klux Klan and Black People were waiting for jury's decision. Jake won this game, Carl lee was found not guilty. And this is very beautiful happy ending. However, It wasn't worth for life of innocent people. That was shown us how terrible the crime could done.
