ABSTRACT
Having discussed this shift into the future we consider another alternative arena, the Court Martial. Interestingly, here we have an area governed by extreme formal adjudication. Though consisting of a relatively small group of films, the relationship between process and justice provides an interesting contrast to those films that have individual justice as a central theme. Finally, the chapter concludes with an investigation into the idea of how the place of justice can be cinematically moved. Thus we have the traditional setting, the courtroom, an excessive example of procedural formalism in the Court Martial and finally de-formalisation of location. We start, though, by briefly considering the notion of a visual dimension to law.
