The Freebie centers on Darren (Shepard) and Annie (Aselton), a young married couple with an enviable relationship built on love trust and communication. Darren and Annie still enjoy each other’s company and laugh at each other’s jokes, but, unfortunately, they can’t remember the last time they had sex. When a dinner party conversation leads to an honest discussion about the state of their love life, and when a sexy bikini photo shoot leads to crossword puzzles instead of sex, they begin to flirt with a way to spice things up. The deal: one night of freedom, no strings attached, no questions asked. Could a freebie be the cure for their ailing sex life? And will they go through with it? With a keen eye and fresh take, Aselton’s directorial debut shines with crisp storytelling and fine-tuned performances. THE Freebie is an insightful and humorous look at love, sustaining relationships , and the awkwardness of monogamy when the haze of lust has faded.
极度热血而理想主义，但是最震撼的却也是这理想主义，因为你知道这些都是历史上确确实实发生过的。天下的政权们——过往或今朝——大抵是相似的。
The whole world is watching. 极具煽动性的民主党竞选利器。但是有意思的是，隐藏在后面代表了美国民众的陪审团，最终还是判了他们有罪。我甚至怀疑这个法官是忠装反了。
respect for 69.
The whole world is watching!
condensed Sorkin, my god he really is corny ah, this just reeks of white enthusiasm
当更多人愿意动脑的时候，世界才会趋向和平。
the whole world is watching.

感受到索金大神找到了自己的节奏，输出爆炸却张弛有度，内容多到这个地步却没有落入冗杂。撕开黑夜的人在结尾都渐渐露出了另一个自己，Tom的强硬、Abbie的肃然、David的挥拳、Schultz的敬意，只有傲慢与固执从一而终，永不变形。2020看起来很适合这部电影，50年后世界，侮辱与损害还在，壁垒与龌龊还在，硝烟与热血也还在。
当然仅代表我个人偏见~
密集喷薄的台词所带来的并不是语言的力量，反倒是凸显出一种沟通的无力感和无效化。话语中的理性再大声亦是听而不闻，偶尔嘀咕的情绪性再小声也会被准确捕捉，事实不再由话语的真伪决定，而取决于人数多少。语言不再是交流的介质，从权利变成了权力，变成了立场的工具。“黑场”的处理也由此生出了一种“说这么多也没用，索性不说了”的感觉，大家来拼口号跟行动吧，毕竟The Whole World is Watching——一种公道自在人心的理想和信任。
watching a mistrial gives me so much anxiety.
这世界上根本就没有所谓自由和自由的天堂 motherfucker
This is splendid cinematography. O how splendid! But somehow the story feels like self-entertainment to and only to an ironic level.
天地不仁，以万物为刍狗。选角精准，演技在线
三星半 比预期好 开场很喜欢 导演功力比上次有进步 也可能因为庭审戏更适合索金式的快速对白 但人物并没有太立起来
两个小时像是过分地拉长了中段，然后突然高潮。
Leader of the Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam
最后的庭审群像仿佛油画
对于这样一场必输之局，Aaron Sorkin挑选的中场戏和结尾高潮处在家的模拟论辩真的非常牛逼，从冗长而充满挫败感的整场审判中揪出了这两个闪光点，然后用力堆叠，可以说高潮戏80%靠剪辑，看起来实在太过瘾了。
