Quotes:
Clarence Darrow: [I was reading last night of the aspiration of the old Persian poet, Omar-Khayyam,he told the judge. It appealed to me as the highest that I can vision. I wish it was in my heart, and I wish it was in the hearts of all: So I be written in the Book of Love; I do not care about that Book above. Erase my name, or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love] more

Move over Verbal and Lester, 16 August 2005
9/10
Author: Jaqsny0562 from United States

This is my all time favorite movie. You must help fight for those who are placed into the spots of weakness in our society. And death is never the answer!!!!! Even for the most hideous crimes. Forget Usual Suspects and American Beauty --this is Spacey at his best!! Mr Darrow was a man that fought for what we take for granted today in this country. Watch this movie and you will appreciate what we today see as common laws. A movie like this will help us never forget the pain and suffering people like Mr. Darrow were willing to endure to offer future generations a better life. I recently visited the poor villages of a third world country and this movie came to mind as I saw many people who live without basic protections from exploitation. It is movie choices like this that have made me a Spacey Fan for life. Jackie
