I watched this film last night and was motivated to write a review of it as not many people know what it's about.
‘The Pelican Brief ‘is based on the book by John Grisham.
It is a really well made film, which builds up tension so well and has you at the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.
Julia Roberts plays a smart-arse law student Darby Shaw. She is in a relationship with her tutor Thomas Callahan. In the news they hear about two Supremes being killed. Darby decides to write a brief about who the suspects of the murders could be. She nearly throws it away as she’s not happy with it, however Callahan reads it and shows to a friend in the FBI (just as a laugh!). However
Thomas is killed by a car bomb and Darby soon realises it was meant to kill her.
This of course means her theory must be ...
Advantages: Story Disadvantages: Sometimes a little unrealistic
This is the third John Grisham book I've read in a month. I reckon its the best too. They're all so different as well, which is pretty amazing because I thought law was pretty much all the same. Oh well. This story starts with the rather professional assassination of two Supreme Court Justices. One was a 91 year old that everyone hated, so that one was obvious, but the other one didn't seem to be particularly radical or hated. So, the White House, the FBI and the CIA get in a bit of a flap.
Then Darby Shaw, a brilliant law student in New Orleans skips classes for four days searching for a solution. I gather she's a bit of a bird as well. Well, she writes up her findings in a brief - the Pelican Brief - and shows it to her Professor Thomas Callahan - who she happens to be nailing - and although she dismisses it, he gives it to a friend ...
Advantages: Good solid story that flows along nicely. Character Development is very well done Disadvantages: Not knowing what shes actually found out until well into the book
As I’ve mentioned in previous ops reading never used to be something I was really into. In fact it wasn’t until about a year after I left school that I really started to read regularly and it was a book by John Grisham that really got me started. This wasn’t the one but after reading one of his books I felt that I had to make an effort to try and read pretty much everything he had written. And so I came to the Pelican Brief, the 3rd Novel he wrote.
The main aspect of Grisham’s work is that he is writing about a field he has a great deal of experience and knowledge in. All his books in one way or another are based on either down on their luck poor lawyers or law students. However don’t let this put you off, Grisham is an expert in this field and somehow manages to make these types of book seem intriguing ...
