The Trail of The Chicago 7, a courtroom drama, originally made for Paramount pictures but later sold it to Netflix, with a deal of 56 Million dollars. Sorkin’s film is going to hit the screens on the 16th of this October. The basic storyline of the story follows, in the summer of 1968, thousands of demonstrators of anti-Vietnam war converged on Chicago for National Democratic Convention, protesting presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey and the party’s continued their support to the war which would eventually leave causing the death of 3 million (an estimation) people death which includes 58,000 US soldiers. This Oscar-nominated movie addresses, the right to protest, liberal vs conservatives with conservatives and power in the government, the fracturing of the liberals and conservatives within their own groups, and black lives matter.
We can say that the film had made a wonderful timing, this movie shows the power and also making the audience sad, where the movie is a mixture of political topics.
Chicago 7 is full of wonders, the beauty of the characters, and performers. We can find Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman are the most attractive characters, who are the most horrifying judges. With the great amount of focus on the trail, the film makes no reference to Jewish Democratic Abraham Ribicoff’s at convention nor Richard Daley, Chicago mayor’s alleged response to “Fuck you, you Jew son-of-a-bitch.”
