Just Mercy

"Just Mercy" by Bryan Stevenson is expressed in the book and the movie. Then story

seems to be a record of a personal career of Stevenson. Besides, as the book and the movie's

audience, we are informed about Stevenson's life briefly, and through studying, we understand

the motives. It is enduring that due to the grandmother, Stevenson finds his interest. The

grandmother continually educates Stevenson in what is depicted as a struggle for equality.

Throughout the book, we understand the injustice in the American justice system. Similarly to

the book, the movie is compelling and exciting and seems to follow Stevenson's life. Thus, this

paper compares the film and the book and argues which one is better.

In the film "Just Mercy," Bryan Stevenson is depicted as a crusader of equality and

justice. In the movie, it is impossible to feel sympathy, especially for Walter. Even behind bars,

Walter remains confident due to his innocence, which is depicted through struggle and

conviction. Notably, the film refrains from emotional histrionics. In the first section, there is a

lack of urgency for an individual on a death low. After this crucial revelation, there is an

emergence of a distinct turn of events, and thus, the movie finds its footing. Some scenes seem

more startling and remind the audience on the life behind bars based on racial discrimination and

the aspect of capital punishment. After critically analyzing the movie, I think that it is better than

the book. The movie is simplified and more than the book. We can also understand how the legal

system is usually manipulated, especially by the rich and those who are more privileged in
society. Thus, we can directly relate the movie to the real world. Despite the movie taking time

to rich at the critical analysis, the conclusion seems unquestionably impactful.

In the book, Stevenson communicates the main points by depicting the challenge with the

American justice system. Stevenson believes the constitution to be vilified by the marginalized

people such as the African Americans (Stevenson n.p). Besides, the book contains various

memoir of pain-filled stories. Through the foundation of the "Equal Justice Initiative," founded

by Steven and his friend, Ansley, Stevenson was able to encounter all people and pick those

victimized by the justice system. Considering this from the book, it may seem hard to understand

compared to the film. Stevenson concludes the book by depicting that there is always room for

improvement and transformation, and punishment is not always the right way. "Just Mercy can

treat even the evilest people in society." Thus, I find the film better than the book.

In the film, we can adapt to the Stevenson memoir of considering the importance of

various actors. Such includes the black lives and the white lives, the corrupt law officials, and the

justice system and veterans' imbalances. Thus, the movie depicts how law enforcement officers

can victimize everyone. In the last part of the movie, Morgan can shade his part with subtle

gestures and becomes the character that feels fleshed. Notably, one can feel a sense of guilt in

him and his brain's effects during the combat. The last scene seems horrific, and as a view, I feel

conflicted and think about how injustices happen in society. Thus, though watching the film, we

can clearly relate the events displayed to us quickly. The book is also essential in understanding
the injustices in society, but it takes account of many stories that the audience may not

comprehend.
