There are too many quotable lines in this film to choose just one. Nothing in this life is ever black and white and our efforts to make it so will be the dissolution of our connectedness as a society. A film that is becoming more and more relevant as time goes on.
As a trail-movies fan, I can easily say that this movie is the best ever, they put everything on trail, faith, beliefs, and even you as a human.

The case itself had so many dramatic elements that the movie can't help holding our attention, but it's a very crude piece of work, totally lacking in subtlety; what is meant to be a courtroom drama of ideas comes out as a caricature of a drama of ideas, and maddeningly, while watching we can't be sure what is based on historical fact and what is invention.
