John Ruskin是英国维多利亚时代的艺术家、诗人、建筑师、思想家，还扶持培养了一批年轻艺术家，不过成为社会新闻的却是他与Effie Gray的婚姻，两人结婚6年之后Effie要求中止婚姻，理由是两人“从未真正成为夫妻”，这桩官司成为一时谈资。John Ruskin承认两人从没上过床，但为自己辩护说妻子的“某种状况”破坏了他的激情。Effie Gray离婚后，嫁给了受John Ruskin重视提拔的画家John Everett Millais。据艾玛·汤普森说，这部新片将从两人的新婚之夜开始，通过John Ruskin的经历和性格来解开这个谜团。

Dakota Fanning replacing Saoirse Ronan in Emma Thompson's 'Effie'
August 16

Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.
真实事件改编？女主和人权律师都很了不起……
塑料般廉价的印度贫民电影。但，他们至少还可以游行示威，还有不畏权势不担心失去执照的死磕律师。律师全程面瘫减分。
印度虽然是个槽点满满的国家，但印度的电影人敢于直视他们社会中的污点和弊病，敢于通过影视化来引起社会重视，这一点我们任重而道远。片子的情节设定以及律师的抽丝剥茧都非常精密，法庭戏也比较精彩。只不过本片导演没有《辩护人》的导演宋宇硕那么圆熟的技巧。其实这两部片子有许多相通之处。
电影的价值与意义 没有追求的生活有什么意思
名为calling的针刺在十多年前的心上。
不得不说，我们还未拍出这样的电影，我们在很多问题上没有勇敢的去面对，而是去掩盖真相，回避真相
有点太神话男主了 但是基于真实故事还是挺有意义的
印度电影和韩国电影敢于刺破黑暗的这份勇，真的令人肃然起敬！
第一次觉得 英雄式的运镜和人物展现 是麻痹现实暴政和痛苦的麻药
拍摄手法一般，甚至很老套，难得的是这样的题材，而且还是在印度，再过10年中国也未必拍得出这种题材的电影。
“我相信事实。” The Lawyer.

印度电影和韩国电影敢于刺破黑暗的这份勇，真的令人肃然起敬！
音乐铛铛铛的往观众脸上砸，其实是降低电影现实主义力度的。
而律师处理事件的全过程毫无波澜，没收希望到失落，无助到转机的情绪切换，太平了。
剧本相当漫长，“部落民”的苦难怎么也讲不完，印度难以相信的落后和司法腐败。有许多问题，敢于表达是让人了解的最好办法，也是推动社会良知的关注力量。尽管有觉得庭战上正义的扬眉吐气过于理想化，但作为电影戏剧表达来看，实在是酣畅淋漓！
印度版《辩护人》。首先赞扬一下印度电影人一直以来一丝不苟的工匠精神，虽然这也可能与国情有关，但这满满当当将近三个小时的无拖沓剧情，没有一丝的多余剪辑，真是让人肃然起敬。
