Just Mercy (2019)
After graduating from Harvard, Bryan Stevenson heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or those not afforded proper representation. One of his first cases is that of Walter McMillian, who is sentenced to die in 1987 for the murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite evidence proving his innocence. In the years that follow, Stevenson encounters racism and legal and political maneuverings as he tirelessly fights for McMillian’s life.
One of the most powerful movies I have watched recently. It’s intense and incredibly moving film. This film is understated and is not a brash court room drama, but instead it focuses on the case, the people behind the case. It’s really very well made and after watching it, I am still thinking about it. It has definitely left an impact on me, and I am surprised that this movie and it’s incredible cast have not been recognised for major awards instead a rubbish films like ‘Parasite’, and insufferable nonsense that is the ‘Marriage Story’ is getting good reviews. 
Do check this  out. It’s incredible.

'Just Mercy' Effectively Calls for Justice with Emotional Impact
‘Just Mercy’ Effectively Calls for Justice with Emotional Impact
It’s no secret that the justice system in the United States is a mess like no other. However, the odds of navigating it and coming out unscathed — if at all — are worse for the Black community. Bryan Stevenson, a lawyer and founder/executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, witnessed just how brutal it is, as he worked tirelessly to free Walter McMillian from death row, after being…

Just Mercy (2019) dir. Destin Daniel Cretton. 7.6/10
Makes you think about all the possibilities that could’ve happened after all this such as maybe the family of the dead feeling wronged for having him released, the town coming to attack him, and so on. So much hate can still occur. It makes you think of the injustice alive not just within the law but within the world.  Makes me also think of how much good can be within people to help others through the hardships.
I like the concept of having someone be brave enough to do what’s right by talking them through it.
Spoiler: [About Walter Johnny D McMillian out cutting trees for work in Alabama. He drives away and gets pulled over by the police, who arrest him with a squadron of other cops. He’s under arrest for the murder of Ronda Morrison even though he claims it wasn’t him. The community believes to have found justice. Bryan Stevenson is currently a law intern and arrives to reveal to Henry Davis that his execution date won’t be anytime for awhile. Davis shows major thanks for this. They start talking about their similar childhoods and bond. Later, the guard takes Davis away as Davis tells Bryan to come back. Once Bryan turns into a lawyer after graduating from Harvard, he moves to Alabama against his mother’s liking. He works with Eva Ansley and starts the Equal Justice Initiative to help improperly prosecuted death row prisoners. They are rejected the building they had first put down for as an office. Bryan has dinner with Eva and her husband as they talk about why they care about this. Bryan goes to the prison and is strip searched without cause by the officer. He then meets with several prisoners and gets their stories. Herbert Richardson fought in Vietnam and came back with PTSD. He ended up setting a bomb and killing a girl. Johnny D doesn’t want to try again for a retrial since it’ll only get rejected. Bryan has hope to keep trying. Johnny D, Herb, and Anthony Hinton talk through the walls of their jail cells about Bryan. Bryan works on the cases. He believes that Johnny D didn’t do it since the case is entirely based on Ralph Myers’s confusing testimony after being charged with a murder himself and the testimony of Bill Hooks. Bryan goes to talk with Tommy Chapman, a prosecutor, of the lack of real evidence. Tommy refuses to listen as he believes that Johnny D did it and the whole community believes it. Bryan goes to meet Johnny D’s family. Their community of friends is also there. He meets with Minnie, Johnny D’s wife, who welcomes him. They all talk about what Bryan wants to do for Johnny D and when asked how he is different from previous lawyers, he says he is doing this without taking any of their money. Bryan also learns that almost everyone in the home has seen or was with Johnny D before the murder in a location too far. Darnell Houston also mentions that he was with Bill Hooks at work so his testimony couldn’t have been real. Darnell reluctantly agrees to sign a statement. Bryan meets with Johnny D and they agree to work together to try again since he met up with his family. Bryan gives Johnny D’s family photos to him to keep. As Herb beats himself up over killing the girl, Johnny D and Anthony comfort him. Bryan tries to fight for Herb as Eva gets a call saying there is a bomb in her house for helping Johnny D. The family evacuates as the police come to sweep the place, but nothing is found. Eva and Bryan go around asking witnesses or people involved to talk about the case, but most brush them off. Darnell gets arrested for perjury and Bryan gets him out. Darnell now refuses to testify. Bryan visits Sheriff Tate about the arrest and Chapman is there too. They both refuse to listen to Bryan about the case. Chapman mentions that the motion to reopen the case was denied. As Bryan is leaving, cops pull him over and get him to exit the vehicle at gunpoint. They search the car and leave. Bryan tells Johnny D that he has to talk to Ralph. He does so and isn’t talked with about the case. As they talk about other things, Bryan talks about Johnny D having kids and Ralph starts talking about his testimony. Bryan learns that Ralph talked about the murder before the recorded statement shown. He goes to the Escambia courthouse to find the original statement. He hears tapes of Ralph’s testimony saying he won’t falsely accuse someone of murder. Herb’s motion for a stay of execution and petition for writ of certiorari was denied. It’s Herb’s day of execution and Bryan watches the death as the other prisoners clank their cups against the cell in camaraderie. Bryan breaks down in the car after with Eva there. Bryan talks with
Ralph and learns that Ralph was put on death row, but taken out after the false testimony. He has a severe fear of fire and was put right next to the execution room, where he constantly smelt the burning skin and had to leave. Many of Johnny D’s friends and family come to court as they try for a retrial. Bryan brings in Ralph, who gets scared to confess the truth. Bryan covers Ralph’s view of Sheriff Tate and Ralph eventually tells the truth. When Chapman talks to him, Ralph says his questioning doesn’t make sense with what’s happening. More witnesses come to talk of the truth. The judge denies a retrial since Ralph’s perjury discredits his testimonies. Johnny D’s son, John, cries at the injustice and is arrested. Bryan thinks of the failure as he talks with Eva and with Johnny D. Johnny D mentions how Bryan allowed him to have his truth and that’s what matters. Bryan tries again. The injustice of the case is brought onto TV on 60 minutes and they take things to the Supreme Court. Chapman requests a new investigation as this stalls time. Bryan confronts him about it and Chapman justifies himself. At court, Chapman joins the motion to dismiss the charges and Johnny D is freed. Johnny D goes home. At the US Senate Hearing on the Death Penalty, Bryan and Johnny D talk about it. Bryan and Eva continue to fight for the wrongly condemned through EJI. Johnny D and Bryan stayed close friends until Johnny D died from dementia. Anthony was released after 30 years. Sheriff Tate was re-elected for sheriff 6 times. A new investigation, remaining unsolved, shows that a white man most likely killed Ronda.]

MOVIE REVIEW: EVERYBODY GO WATCH ‘JUST MERCY’ LIKE NOW
Tumblr media
okay so it’s a true story about a lawyer, Bryan Stevenson (Michael B Jordan) who starts an organization with Eva Ansley (Brie Larson) to help convicts get off the death row. The movie mainly focuses on his efforts to help Walter “Johnnie D” McMillian (Jamie Foxx), who was an innocent man found guilty by a jury and a judge for a crime with no physical evidence, and only the testimony of a convicted felon.
The movie is a beautiful work of art, tying into the same genre as movies like ‘The Hate You Give’, but providing a more broader and more mature outlook on how it meant to be a person of colour in the late 90s. What resonated with me most about this film is the fact that what happens in this movie still happens now. We see Bryan (MBJ) receive unnecessary suspicion from white police officers on no less than at least 2 occasions. 
The movie is equal parts emotional and thrilling, and amazingly loops around and ties up unto itself for the endling. Honestly, it made me cry like 5 times (I stopped counting then).
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE. IT IS ESPECIALLY RELEVANT DURING THESE TIMES. PLEASE GIVE IT A WATCH, I PROMISE YOU IT WILL BE WORTH IT.
