The 15th Week

"We were all formed of frailty and error. Let us pardon reciprocally each others folly. That is the first law of nature." Roman

Roman J. Isreal, Esq. (2017) is a character played by Denzel Washington in this week's popcorn eating recommended viewing event. And it's the name of the movie too.

Denzel was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a BET and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance. First remember seeing the 'ah yea, alright alright' Mr. Washington in Glory (1989) with Mathew Broderick (1). This week's film also stars Colin Farrell (2), and Carmen Ejogo (3). It's a nice court room drama...

"You're insane." George

"Never been more clear." Roman

"That's what we will argue." George

"Now, watch what you say. You don't represent me. So, the rules of confidentiality don't apply. My entire defense will be based on the unequivocal recitation of the truth." Roman
