The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a fast-paced courtroom drama that sticks to a very good script and very good performances most especially from Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Rylance, Frank Langella, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. This is for sure an Oscar bait film which deserves to be recalled as the United States will elect new politicians this coming November. Aaron Sorkin and the producers of the film have strategically shown this film in a time such as this. Additionally, this film taught me a new term for the police in the 60’s era which was “pigs” which I have also learned from Spike Lee movies: Blackkklansman and Da 5 Bloods. This film stands strong in grand speeches, arguments, and realistically pure boisterous emotions. It’s an interesting watch and a good historical lesson about activism.  #movie review#netflix #the trial of the chicago 7 #aaron sorkin#oscars#2020 election#activism
