À propos de ce film

Une puissante et poignante histoire vraie, "La voie de la Justice" suit le jeune avocat Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) dans son combat historique pour la justice. Après avoir quitté les bancs d'Harvard, Bryan avait le choix en termes d'emplois lucratifs. Il a préféré se rendre en Alabama pour défendre ceux condamnés à tort ou ceux à qui on refusait le droit d'être défendus correctement, à l'aide de la militante locale Eva Ansley (Larson). Une de ses premières (et plus tumultueuses) affaires est celle de Walter McMillian (Foxx), qui a été condamné à mort et 1987 pour le meurtre d'une jeune fille de 18 ans, malgré une abondance de preuves en sa faveur et le fait que le seul témoignage contre lui vienne d'un criminel avec une raison de mentir. Dans les années qui suivent, Bryan se retrouve empêtré dans un labyrinthe de manœuvres politiques et légales et fait face à un racisme décomplexé dans son combat pour Walter et d'autres personnes comme lui.

Notes et avis

This movie is a story changer to everywhere across the United States and so on beyond around the world mostly for black people to change those different paths. Being a black person is one of the hardest parts to appear in the open world wherever you are hoping for equality among whites and other races to live in peace and respective not to never be targeted. Darkness within you is who come after you because of your skin color's such darker than the white people just living of hate and fear don't even care if you're a human being only a nothing they see. No police officer shouldn't have the right or their call to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner on mostly people of color. No one serves to be treated like a criminal or being called an animal just because you're different as anybody else around anywhere you live.

Movies like this are so desperately needed. Whites,like myself, often take the legal system for granted. We say things like, if you're innocent you have nothing to fear. We are wrong. In the US African-Americans are often railroaded though our "justice" system. When it comes to it they are more often pushed through what might as well be kangaroo courts. This film is an emotional retelling of the real life events surrounding Bryan Stevenson and Walter "Johnny D." McMillian. It was one of the best purchases I've made this year and I sincerely hope that people across the world, in these times of civil unrest will take a couple hours and watch this. I hope that social science teachers, instructors, professors, et all, will consider showing this film to their classes when discussing racism, how it affects the legal system, and that we can fight it and win.

I found this movie after watching an old 60 minutes story on the man this movie is based on. I loved this movie, because I love Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx did a great job. I love to see these men doing films that mean something. (I've been a huge Michael B. Jordan fan since he played Oscar Grant). The man in this movie was a lucky one. He was only in jail for 6 years. There are SOOOO many black men in the south that will NEVER get out. Many aren't that lucky (There's one man in the mid-west serving a life sentence for stealing a leather jacket in the 70's or 80's) The justice system is anything but.
