Hi All,
Courtroom Dramas… the roaring voice of prosecution of defense, loopholes in law, the balance of judgment, the thump of ‘order-order’… they all seem to attract even the least of the cine-buffs. In this edition, we decided to have a look on courtroom dramas. Unlike previous takes on Genres over years, this year we focused on nuances of Courtroom Drama which makes them so popular.
Analysis of courtroom dramas helped us understand the role prejudices play. In famous movie To Kill A Mocking Bird, A Cry In The Dark and Achanak, the judgment depended largely on how jury felt personally about the person in witness box. 12 Angry Men is a classic example where one need to get rid of personal opinions and prejudices. Judgment At Nuremberg challenges the very origin of a prejudice and shows how dangerous this human fallibility is. Similarly in Kudrat, we see that opinion for respected icon can act as a shield for their past. In the current political scenario, propaganda are leading to prejudices. We can see people declaring verdict even before charge sheet is filed. On a personal level, I don’t endorse it. We need rationality prevail.
Today is Ali’s birthday. Wishing him the best in life on behalf of entire TheReelMag team.
Waiting for your comments.
Love
Sujoy
