“What do you call 1000 layers lying on the bottom of the Ocean? A good start.” You can hear this joke in two American movies: “Philadelphia” and “The Wars of the Roses”. I found it funny and it made me laugh. I'm not sure if this kind of humor is specific to American and English taste, I don’t know, maybe it is. Anyway, I think I understood the mockery and criticism that lie behind the joke. It’s (widely) believed that to act in a cunning and tricky way is a habitual practice within this profession. There is probably some truth to this, although I think that it’s also a clever and deliberate narrative device used by the film industry with the aim of making thrilling legal drama movies. I’m thinking of “The Lincoln Layer”, “The Rainmaker”, “Runaway Jury” or “The Firm”, only to mention a few examples.
