I love how he looks straight into the camera and says "ladies and gentlemen of the jury", with the next shot tying it to the jury. It doesn't feel like he's breaking the fourth wall, but at the same time it connects the audience to the jury, placing the viewer in the jury. He also says "forget everything you've seen in the movies" which further cements suspension of disbelief

Love how Denzel looks directly into the camera. It's almost NOT the fourth wall.

I think its a brilliant opening speech, I love how he starts with facts and then add emotion to it and then end it with law. I just click this video, I didn't see the whole movie, so I don't know the whole facts or story, but due to this opening statement, I grasped the case theory, and I think it made me understand what's the case is all about.

I’m so glad this would be an open and shut case today. It wouldn’t even get near a courtroom.

Denzel is the Rodgers/Mahomes/Jordan, of acting!

Philadelphia was such a great movie with an absolutely stellar all star cast. Denzel is a total rock star with that opening. After that opening, the defendants should have settled

Kruger is part of the Jury now?

Brian and Stewie: 😳😳 Brian: My God! What is wrong with you? Stewie: I swear to God that was supposed to be food fight

Denzel....... opening statement.......... silence for 5 minutes ......... then : speaker of the jury.... we reached an unanimous verdict..... guilty as charged..... 🤣 Denzel as well as Tom Hanks are truly one of the best actors today !

MY FAVORITE SCENE !

a train of unwarranted events which culminated in the abolition of a just employment warrant a qualified constitutional vindication... well presented!

Nice job

I love the Forget everything you've seen in television and the movies line. In a movie

Daniel von Bargen did indeed die at 64. He had a long career in TV and films. In addition to Kruger on Seinfeld he had a couple of other notable appearances playing one of the SWAT team guys in "The Silence Of The Lambs" and Jacob Steven Haley in The X-Files episode "The Pine Bluff Variant" On February 20, 2012, von Bargen shot himself in the temple during an apparent suicide attempt. After von Bargen placed a phone call to a 911 operator, emergency crews were dispatched to his Montgomery, Ohio, apartment. Von Bargen suffered from diabetes and, at the time of his attempted suicide, had been living with one leg amputated. He was due to have several toes amputated on his remaining foot and reportedly did not want to submit to another surgery. He died of an undisclosed, long illness presumably related to his diabetes.

Only Denzel know how.

Please shout-out to Denzel Washington and Mary steenburgen-danson the opening statements for bracket vs 4 members begins .

They. Broke. The. Law.

If he's such a smooth lawyer, why is he an ambulance chaser in a walk-up office?

Back then vices of America were very American. Less influence from Asian immigrants. Legal firms dominating like anything, Wall Street was crawling after 1988-89 crisis, the wester part seemed far and away, souther states were transforming, Governor Clinton in Arkansas was damaging, internet hadn't arrived, ...and much more. The Irish American community owning NY, Boston, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, NJ, etc areas. Back then if America accused Sadam Hussain of anything, 28 countries were behind it and supported ... Things changed after 2001. The Myth vanished.

WTF? Talk about a word salad. You forget to take your anti-psychotic meds?

I had no idea back in the day Philadelphia had such a strong LGBT History. Many of the "Kids" who danced on American Bandstand in the 1950's were Gay and some were disowned by their Families. Dorothy Draper an Interior Decorator did work on a Hotel where Men would "Meet" and Ladies would rent rooms. Also in the 1950's A Couple got Married and African American Men had their own "Private Parties".

Not the best. Al Pacino in And Justice For All was the best.

Can we get this lawyer to represent people who were fired from their Jobs because they refused to take the COVID Jab or even people who suffered serious injuries including death after taking the Vaccine? Actually Congress past laws where Big Pharma can't be sued if someone dies or injured by the Vaccine. But that is a different story. It is possible though that an employer or a School could be liable for damages to People injured by the COVID "Vaccines."
