the Conviction, a movie

Posted on July 3rd, 2012 in movie story, star story by admin

This movie is based on a true story, which is hard to believe. It’s something you would think that it’s only gonna happen in a movie or a drama TV series or a novel or every kind of that literature creation but a real life. Give up almost everything, husband, marriage, kids, study in a college at a quite old age trying to get a degree in order to apply a law school,  then study harder at law school and get to be a lawyer, all the efforts of 18 years are made to try to free a brother who was imprisoned to life because of murder.

Perhaps you’d say that many people could do that to their family, to their beloved ones; you might say, yes, there are misery, struggle, sadness, heartbreaking moments, but people get through these things, it’s no big deal, this is life. But I wonder if we all have the strong faith in our beloved ones. Have you once doubted that your spouse didn’t love you as much as before even they said they did? Have you suspected your kids were lying even they swore what others told you about them were not true? Have you once wonder that your parents loved your siblings more than loved you? If you have, then how could you keep the faith in your heart that your brother is innocent when every evidence and proof indicated that he murdered someone? Could you still believe his innocence when he was sentenced guilty of murder? How could you know he is not lying to you? When you were ruining your life for him, would you ever ask yourself if it’s worth it? What if he did it? Besides, what if you become a lawyer but still can’t find a way to help him? What if you can’t help to free him in your whole life? Then what’s the meaning of these sacrifices? Would you regret?

The woman is very tough. Who ever could suffer but manage to beat it is tough. Not only tough, but determined, faithful, courageous. Most important of all, they have the ability of love.

By the way, Hilary Swank may be not the most beautiful woman in the world, but she is absolutely one of the best actress. She shines in this movie. She portraits this very woman, who gives whatever it takes to love and help her brother.

And I wanna say that no wonder Hilary has won the Academy Award, twice.
