Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
海登领导的学院学生“温和派”和“一群磕药的嬉皮士”的“激进派”，再加上几个“热心的中产阶级”就能阻止越南战争？阻止越南战争继续下去的是“胡志明小道”和陈庚为首的顾问团。美国政府发现这是个无底洞，及时止损才撤走的。
很好看。所以致埃文汉森真的不该出电影，而是出原卡官摄，拍成电影砸手里了吧…我都不想去标星…
听过艾伦·索金的编剧工坊，脑子快于嘴，经常卡壳。写剧本就不一样了，可以一泻千里，畅快淋漓，哒哒哒机关枪扫射状，风格自成一派，后世学徒很难上手，门槛极高。
有些人在长期缺失某些东西后忘了他们也应该/可以拥有那些东西，有些人在看到别人拥有他们缺失的某些东西后羡慕别人并渴望他们也能享有那些东西。
The whole world is watching.except us.
虽然我爱Sorkin 但最后一场戏太脸谱化 太美国式高潮 但作为科普60年代的民运 还是值得一看
迅速平行跳切像是纪实闪回，这不是虚构的，而是真实事件改编。很灯塔国，该禁，国内就别看这种当庭大声呵斥法官的所谓皿煮，游行示威、公开审判、自由辩论、程序正义的帝国主义阴谋片了， 反正你们又不是没少删禁。陪审团制度也许不是最好的，但总比各种被代表的好。8.2（原短评论已被删）
灯塔国的法律系统，大家懂得。找10名完全不懂法律的陪审员来审判，这里头学问可多了，可以用来逃脱法律，也可以用来操纵法律。
It’s surprising how much has changed and how much hasn’t...想起《辩护人》，但毕竟Sorkinism，文戏更犀利，看报道说真实情况的戏剧性有过之而无不及。
我就是喜欢这样的电影！
9分，一气呵成，淋漓尽致。从审判开始到审判结束，每一次开庭都是一场腥风血雨。当一场法律审判沦为政治和个人利益的工具，就早已失去了其公正与尊严，更无法得到世人的尊敬。
“当手无寸铁的人连抗议都不行的时候…就只有：
以前反战，现在反川，以后反呼吸，美国因为能容许这些人蹦跶而美
看到一半没看懂从头一气呵成看完。西方自由主义的精神就在于此吧…
足够美式的审美和价值观，不足之处是有些地方实在煽情过度，但不得不承认起码在当下我很喜欢——今日朝鲜新增1.8万发热病例，特此标记——因为无数次深入绝境，才积蓄了更多的爱意和希望
剧本台词的编纂和剪辑转场，简直是朝着最佳嘻哈专辑而去的，太聪明太漂亮。常常是一句没说完的话，就转成下一个互文又不确切相关的场次。大时代背景下，胜负早已定下，七君子审判也成为好莱坞剧作里难得并没有最终反叛的意外故事，但不但没有灰暗的“反高潮”，而是成功制造出另一种虽败犹荣又振聋发聩的更高级高潮。以往总会警惕这种正反分明的剧情，觉得不够客观不够有着强大反派，可七君子的节奏和能量，让我忽略了这些平衡原则。去年10月中，在芝加哥电影节时，恰好赶上NFL的熊队比赛日和七君子街景拍摄日，新上任的电影电视剧局长还跟我得意地抱怨，"忙坏了但也乐坏了。“
没有吸引到我，感觉拍的太正了，剪辑也很令人厌烦，同样题材同种手法的美国电影太多了，没新意。
鲜脆的节奏，锋利的剪辑。一套直行带插叙下来，整个片子都利落极了。
看看人家
