Sad law movie

Recently I had watched "Murder of The First" and "The Rainmaker". These are sad law movie because the victim died at the end of the movie. Besides that, the lawyers represented the victims in both movies were not experienced lawyers. However,they tried their best to achieve justice.

"Murder of The First", a true story.The victim in the movie was sent to the Alcatraz Prison because he stole 5 dolars in order to feed his sister. However, he tried to escape from the prison and he failed because one of his mates betrayed him. Then, they treated him differently by using solitary confinement to keep him in a dark room and never talk to anyone for almost 3 years. At the first day he was freed from solitary confinement (meant he became a normal prisoner), he stabbed the betrayer with a spoon( in reality he stabbed the betrayer with knife) and the betrayer died, he was charged with murder in the first degree. An inexperienced public attorney represented the victim in the trial. Finally he won the case and the victim was convicted of manslaughter but he lost his girlfriend who also a public attorney. The victim committed suicide in the jail. This case had given a great impact to the society and solitary confinement had been abolished due to inhumanity. Good movie, I watched it through pps, the chinese name for this movie is "一级谋杀" .

"The rainmaker",Matt Damon was a lawyer who just passed his test and got the license, absolutely inexperienced lawyer. He in loved with his client who was a victim of home abuse. He killed the husband to protect his girl friend but his girl friend wanted to protect him and became the scapegoat. Luckily she was found not guilty because of self-defense. This is not the main plot of this movie. Matt Damon represented a Leukemia patient to sue an insurance company " Great Benefits" because the company refused to compensate him. As a lawyer, his performance was terrible due to lack of experience. He was smart but he needed to experience more. Luckily his assistant sought for his former employer's help and finally he won. However, they got nothing because the insurance company declared bankrupt after the case. This movie was quite boring but the last 30 minutes was quite interesting. The chinese name for this movie is "造雨人".
