电影《激辩风云》的故事发生在种族歧视颇为严重的南方，来源于真人真事，是丹泽尔·华盛顿作为导演的第二部作品，同时他还担任了影片的制片人和主演--即在德州东部的威利大学教书的迈尔文·托尔森。对于华盛顿来说，执导与表演似乎同样令他着迷：“确实，我要说这部影片可能是我所经历的最艰难的一部作品，不过我现在却要感谢上天给了我这个机会。除了我之外，影片真正的焦点在三个年轻人身上，他们是如此努力，努力地工作、努力地学习……

从演员的角度出发，我知道这是他们一个非常棒的机会，因为有机会得到一个好角色，本身就是一件非常困难的事情。只有好影片中的好角色，才能让你在这个工业中立足、被注意，然而机会却是可遇不可求的。影片中的三个年轻角色都很伟大，而饰演他们的演员也真正地抓住了这个得来不易的机会。”

以下为电影《激辩风云》精彩对白中英文对照：

Samantha: The state is currently spending five times more for the education for a white child than it is fitting to educate a colored child. That means better textbooks for that child than for that child. I say that's a shame, but my opponent says today is not the day for whites and coloreds to go to the same college. To share the same campus. To walk into the same classroom. Well, would you kindly tell me when that day is gonna come? Is it going to come tomorrow? Is it going to come next week? In a hundred years? Never? No, the time for justice, the time for freedom, and the time for equality is always, is always right now!
萨曼塔：这是一个普遍的现象，州政府会花在一个白人孩子身上的教育经费，是有色人种孩子的五倍，那就意味着他们能够拿到更好的教科书。我想说的是，这是一种耻辱，但我的对立方却说，现在还不是让白人孩子和有色人种的孩子去同一所学校上学的时候，当然，更别提分享同一个校园了、同一所教室了。好吧，你能发发善心，告诉我那一天什么时候能够来到？明天可以实现吗？或者是下周？又或者要100年？也可能永远都不？不，现在是时候为正义、自由而战了，我们现在就应该争取应得的平等！

James Farmer Jr.: [opening package] Five dollars? Lowe, I got five dollars!

Henry Lowe: Yeah, me too.
Samantha: Well, mine is crisp.

James Farmer Jr.: How do you know?
Samantha: [smiling] I don't.
詹姆斯•法莫二世（打开包裹）：5美元？洛维，我有5美元了！

鲁思•托尔林（淘气地一笑）：不是我。

Dr. James Farmer, Sr.: [after Tolson is unjustly captured and imprisoned] Since you have no evidence, I suggest you let him go.

[points toward the riotous mob gathered outside the sheriff's office]
詹姆斯•法莫博士（在托尔森被非法逮捕和囚禁之后）：既然你没有证据，我建议你放了他。
治安长官道泽尔：你是在威胁我吗？孩子？

Samantha: James, you know I value your friendship...
James Farmer Jr.: How can you value something you never had?
Samantha: So... we were never friends?
James Farmer Jr.: Maybe I don't want to be just your friend. Maybe it HURTS me to be just your friend!
萨曼塔：詹姆斯，你知道我值得你付出友情……
詹姆斯•法莫二世：你凭什么说你自己值得从没有得到过的东西？
萨曼塔：那么……你从没把我当过朋友？
詹姆斯•法莫二世：也许，我不想只成为你的朋友，也许，你只把我当朋友会伤害到我！
