John Ruskin是英国维多利亚时代的艺术家、诗人、建筑师、思想家，还扶持培养了一批年轻艺术家，不过成为社会新闻的却是他与Effie Gray的婚姻，两人结婚6年之后Effie要求中止婚姻，理由是两人“从未真正成为夫妻”，这桩官司成为一时谈资。John Ruskin承认两人从没上过床，但为自己辩护说妻子的“某种状况”破坏了他的激情。Effie Gray离婚后，嫁给了受John Ruskin重视提拔的画家John Everett Millais。据艾玛·汤普森说，这部新片将从两人的新婚之夜开始，通过John Ruskin的经历和性格来解开这个谜团。

Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie'
August 16
Source: Deadline
Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.

依然是密集的对白，超多信息量，关键是把故事还讲得挺精彩就很牛皮了。不过故事本身就很不错～
“Do you have contempt for your government? ” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.”
群像刻画，法庭交锋，雄浑稳健，精彩纷呈。不愧是律师之子，艾伦·索金重拾最擅长的法庭题材，比92版《好人寥寥》的冲击更甚，而且这回自编自导，不假他人之手，还原半个世纪前的时代风云对于今日美利坚犹有深意。且看颁奖季能否获青睐，得之老骥伏枥，不得也不会影响本片跻身其最佳作品行列。
經歷過去近兩年的種種，再看大家的評論，只能說大家旁觀是看得清，到自己身上卻又迷了。
影片改编自真实事件，导演为这部电影查找了大量资料，包括看了大量相关书籍及2.1万页的庭审记录，而且还和当事人之一汤姆·海登进行了交流。这部电影可能很接近当年的审判过程，借古讽今嘛，从事实出发才能有理有据。拍摄这种多名被告且长达半年的庭审过程是很难的，难于取舍。这一点导演做的似乎不错，几个重点抓得很好。说讲审判就讲审判，甚至都没有展现抗议过程，就直接进入法庭戏了。在庭审中插入大量的抗议活动内容，其实更能让观众即时体会事发经过。剪辑很棒，对白密度很高，电影让观众一刻不得松懈，看完竟然有些累。说是“七君子”其实重点是三派五个人，在半年的庭审过程中他们也曾产生矛盾和相互质疑，虽然他们目的不一定相同，但勇气都是值得钦佩的。最后发言念名字时挺燃。还是挺精彩的一部电影。
艾伦索金编导，台词蒙太奇，对白插画面，语言暴力片。7.4
瞧瞧人家的主旋律电影The whole worldis watching！
艾伦索金越来越左了？No. that’s not true.是这个世界正在变得越来越麻木、自私和不仁。
漂亮，三星半吧，但我个人敬鸡血而远之，不过自我审视的几笔确实深刻毒辣，令人动容。这法官又蠢又贱神烦。金斯堡在这里面像个神经病。比较起来，我更想看那位黑人被告的故事。
历史是任人打扮的小姑娘，电影中的历史是，电影本身也是，时过境迁，蒙娜丽莎都有千万种神态。
1.性别、种族歧视赤裸裸的体现 2.反越战中的嬉皮士表象和文化政治革命内里 3.轰动一时的大事件也是由偶然的个体和必然的趋势引发的 4.当法制变成人治，弱小的一方有多难维权，公权力的滥用 5.永远都不要小瞧脱口秀演员。
The whole world is watching. 极具煽动性的民主党竞选利器。但是有意思的是，隐藏在后面代表了美国民众的陪审团，最终还是判了他们有罪。我甚至怀疑这个法官是忠装反了。
the whole world is watching.
本部电影的人物刻画从这一点来看，仍然有不足之处，挖掘得不够透彻，而法庭上的冲撞对决，插科打诨，很难说会有多少精彩之处。
8+ 剪辑接近超神 被艾伦索金圈粉 附主要角色名录： 芝加哥七君子：
三星半。总体而言群戏还是不算出彩，几乎好的段落，是有意的凸出了个体，众人之间没有再形成一个好看的整体性的东西，当然这个整体也只是为了这个事件服务，庭审戏除了对白的来回之外，大多戏点都在藐视，这就是一种韩影式的处理方式了，反而那些游行，甚至接电话的女孩的戏被对比得更好看。这部电影对比艾伦索金之前的作品失去了一种精致机巧的美，原因是背后的这桩暴乱事件，也因为此事此事写就了全片最后的高潮戏。
三星半吧。后半部分又开始瞎对付。小平同志说：要防止右，但主要是防止左。还要旗帜鲜明地反对资产阶级自由化。
马丁路德金 砰 罗伯特肯尼迪 砰
密集台词和剪辑，两个多小时必须高度集中以免错过关键细节。可怕的1968年，全球都在闹，会利用媒体的嬉皮士真可爱，一早明白是zz审判，可惜后来死于“自杀”？小雀斑的白左精英真体制内功利分子了，后来还娶了简方达，煽动也是他，煽情也是他。灯塔国一样问题一把，起码还有人拍出来啊~
