Hello everyone, I hope you are having a nice week. Remember the times when black lives were still very inferior to the whites even if we are still struggling with this in some areas, it has reduced. I watched a movie recently about how hard it was for the black people to survive and stay alive.
The movie "Marshall" is a 2017 Legal Drama directed by Reginald Hudlin about Thurgood Marshall, a very skilled NAACP lawyer who travels around the country defending people who he thinks has been wrongly accused of a crime because of their color.
Just as Mr Marshall returns to New York from his just concluded case, another case is handed over to him. He is sent to Bridgeport, Connecticut to help a man Joseph Spell who has been of raping and almost killing his female white employer, Eleanor Strubing.
This case has made the news as Mrs Strubing is a well respected and distinguished woman. In Bridgeport, Mr. Sam Friedman is tasked to assist Mr. Marshall against his will.
Before they go further to handle the case, Mr. Marshall and Mr. Friedman goes to see Mr. Spell in the detention cell, to make sure that he is innocent of the crime he is accused of because Mr Marshall wants to make sure it is purely because of his color that he is being accused and nothing else. Spells swore that he had never touched the woman before, after getting their reassurance,they left.
During the hearing, the Judge, Judge Foster who is well familiar with the prosecutor, allows Mr Marshall into the court but doesn't allow him say anything. With this development, Mr. Friedman is forced to take up this case.
Mr Friedman who is an Insurance defense attorney is very reluctant to take the case but Mr. Marshall assures him that as his council, he will guide through the whole proceedings. With that, Mr. Friedman agrees.
Because Mr Friedman agrees to defend a black man in court, he is seen as an enemy by his neighbors, friends, family and even his wife. Mr Friedman is deeply affected by this to the extent he is even attacked physically but still continues to defends Spell in court.

The story they are given is that Spell raped Strubing, tied her then put her in his car after that her, he drove to the reservoir, throw her over trying to drown her and started throwing stones at her.

With this, they go to investigate and during their investigation they discover a lot of loopholes and have a lot of questions. Like if Spell actually wanted to kill her why would he throw her in the still slow side instead of the rocky rough edge.
During the trial, Spell is offered money to drop the case and go for a plea but he rejects it and the trial goes on. A doctor is brought and testifies while giving proof that indeed Strubing did have signs of being reaped, had pieces of skin in her nails that belonged to a colored man and had bruises around her body.
Around this period, Mr Marshall and Mrs Marshall who were expecting a baby unfortunately lost it through miscarriage. At this point, Mr Marshall was devastated because he lost his child and because he wasn't there to comfort his wife.
Later on, Strubing is brought to testify and gives the same story, with this Mr Marshall and Mr Friedman found that Spell has not been truthful to them from the beginning so they go to confront him and he finally tells them the truth.
The next day, it's Spell's turn to testify and tells his version of the story well it turns out that Strubings husband has been maltreating her leaving bruises and marks on her body. One of the nights that her husband had not been around, Spell went in to meet her to ask for money that he owed a man but instead, Strubing wanted to have sex with so he consented.
After they had sexual intercourse, Strubing was terrified that someone would catch them so she asked Spell to drive her out of the house. While they were driving on the road, Spell was stopped by a policeman, Mrs Strubing who was afraid of being caught hid at the back of the car on the floor, the police asked for Spells credentials which he showed telling the police that the car was his employer's own then the police let him go.
When they reached the reservoir after the encounter with the police
Strubing forced Spell to stop the car, she started to panic that she may be pregnant and that she couldn't be pregnant with a colored child see this, Spell tried to calm her down but she ran out of the car and climbed the breach. Spell tried stopping her but then she jumped into the river on seeing this, he entered the car and drove off in panic.

Spell was asked why he didn't say this before and rather lied to them, why he didn't tell the first policeman that came to him as soon as he was asked. He told them that as a black man, if he ever said that he slept with a white woman like Strubing he would have been killed there on the spot for sleeping with someone that even they couldn't touch.
At the end of the day, the jury decided that Spell was not guilty and Strubing was doing all this for the fear of her husband finding out that she slept with another man and colored for that matter.
I really loved this move and the passion that was put into it, it showed that even though it was a tough time for the blacks, they still had the ability to pull through. This movie showed black strength and the challenges they faced.
I will recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't already watched it, I promise you would also love it and would like to hear your views on it too.

Hola a todos, espero que estén teniendo una buena semana. Recuerde los momentos en que las vidas negras todavía eran muy inferiores a los blancos, incluso si todavía estamos luchando con esto en algunas áreas, se ha reducido. Vi una película recientemente sobre lo difícil que era para los negros sobrevivir y mantenerse con vida.
La película "Marshall" es un drama legal de 2017 dirigido por Reginald Hudlin sobre Thurgood Marshall, un abogado NAACP muy hábil que viaja por todo el país defendiendo a personas que cree que han sido acusadas erróneamente de un crimen debido a su color.

Así como el Sr. Marshall regresa a Nueva York de su caso recién concluido, se le entrega otro caso. Es enviado a Bridgeport, Connecticut para ayudar a un hombre Joseph Spell que ha estado violando y casi matando a su empleador blanco femenino, Eleanor Strubing.

Este caso ha hecho noticia ya que la Sra. Strubing es una mujer muy respetada y distinguida. En Bridgeport, el Sr. Sam Friedman tiene la tarea de ayudar al Sr. Marshall contra su voluntad.

Antes de ir más lejos para manejar el caso, el Sr. Marshall y el Sr. Friedman va a ver al Sr. Deletree in the detention cell, to make sure that he is innocent of the crime he is accused of because Mr Marshall wants to make sure it is purely because of his color that he is being accused and nothing else. Los hechizos juraron que nunca había tocado a la mujer antes, después de recibir su tranquilidad, se fueron.

Durante la audiencia, el juez Foster, que está bien familiarizado con el fiscal, permite al Sr. Marshall entra en el tribunal, pero no le permite decir nada. Con este desarrollo, el Sr. Friedman se ve obligado a ocuparse de este caso.
Mr Friedman who is an Insurance defense attorney is very reluctant to take the case but Mr. Marshall le asegura que, como su consejo, guiará todo el proceso. Con eso, el Sr. Friedman está de acuerdo.
Debido a que el Sr. Friedman acepta defender a un hombre negro en la corte, sus vecinos, amigos, familiares e incluso su esposa lo ven como un enemigo. El Sr. Friedman se ve profundamente afectado por esto en la medida en que incluso es atacado físicamente, pero sigue defendiendo a Spell en los tribunales.

La historia que se les da es que Spell violó a Strubing, la ató y luego la puso en su auto después de eso, condujo hasta el embalse, la tiró tratando de ahogarla y comenzó a arrojarle piedras.

Con esto, van a investigar y durante su investigación descubren muchas lagunas y tienen muchas preguntas. Como si Spell realmente quisiera matarla, ¿por qué la arrojaría al lado todavía lento en lugar del borde áspero rocoso?
Durante el juicio, se ofrece dinero a Spell para que deje el caso y haga una declaración, pero él lo rechaza y el juicio continúa. Un médico es traído y testifica mientras da pruebas de que, de hecho, Strubing tenía signos de ser cosechado, tenía trozos de piel en las uñas que pertenecían a un hombre de color y tenía moretones alrededor de su cuerpo.
Más tarde, Strubing es traído para testificar y da la misma historia, con este Sr. Marshall y el Sr. Friedman encontraron que Spell no les ha sido sincero desde el principio, así que van a confrontarlo y finalmente les dice la verdad.
Alrededor de este período, el Sr. Marshall y la Sra. Marshall que esperaban un bebé lamentablemente lo perdieron por aborto espontáneo. En este punto, el Sr. Marshall estaba devastado porque perdió a su hijo y porque no estaba allí para consolar a su esposa
Al día siguiente, es el turno de Spell de testificar y cuenta bien su versión de la historia resulta que el marido de Strubings ha estado maltratando sus moretones y marcas de salida en su cuerpo. Una de las noches en las que su esposo no había estado, Spell entró a reunirse con ella para pedirle dinero que le debía a un hombre, pero en cambio, Strubing quería tener relaciones sexuales con él, así que consintió.
Después de tener relaciones sexuales, Strubing estaba aterrorizada de que alguien los atraparía, así que le pidió a Spell que la sacara de la casa. Mientras conducían en la carretera, Spell fue detenida por un policía, la Sra. Strubing, que tenía miedo de ser atrapada, se escondió en la parte trasera del automóvil del suelo, la policía pidió credenciales de hechizos que mostró diciéndole a la policía que el automóvil era propio de su empleador y luego la policía lo dejó ir.
Cuando llegaron al embalse después del encuentro con la policía
Strubing obligó a Spell a detener el coche, comenzó a entrar en pánico porque puede estar embarazada y que no podía estar embarazada de un niño de color ver esto, Spell trató de calmarla, pero se quedó sin el coche y subió la brecha. Spell trató de detenerla, pero luego saltó al río al ver esto, entró en el auto y se fue en pánico.

A Spell se le preguntó por qué no dijo esto antes y más bien les mintió, por qué no le dijo al primer policía que vino a él tan pronto como se le preguntó. Les dijo que como hombre negro, si alguna vez dijera que se acostó con una mujer blanca como Strubing habría sido asesinado allí en el lugar por acostarse con alguien que ni siquiera ellos podían tocar.
Al final del día, el jurado decidió que Spell no era culpable y Strubing estaba haciendo todo esto por miedo a que su esposo se enterara de que se acostó con otro hombre y coloreaba para el caso.
Realmente me encantó este movimiento y la pasión que se puso en él, demostró que a pesar de que era un momento difícil para los negros, todavía tenían la capacidad de salir adelante. Esta película mostró fuerza negra y los desafíos a los que se enfrentaban.
Recomendaré esta película a cualquiera que aún no la haya visto, le prometo que también le encantaría y también le gustaría escuchar sus puntos de vista al respecto.
