22 July by Paul Greengrass is an adaptation of the non-fiction book One of Us: The Story of a Massacre in Norway — and Its Aftermath, which is about the 2011 Norway attacks. It explores the buildup to the attacks, the actual attacks, the trial of Anders Behring Breivik (the perpetrator of the attacks), and follows Viljar Hanssen, a survivor of the Utøya massacre who was severely injured.

Mental Health Recovery Arc
 22 July / int_1448bff3
comment
Mental Health Recovery Arc: Part of the film involves Viljar dealing with the mental trauma inflicted on him of both the fact that he was caught up in a mass shooting of many innocent teenagers and of the severe injuries he sustained as a result. By the end, he has come to terms with the attack enough that he is able to appear in court as a witness to give evidence of the massacre.

Insanity Defense
 22 July / int_2f913008
comment
Insanity Defense: Breivik's attorney advises him to go with this, telling him it could keep him out of prison. Breivik initially goes along with the idea purely because he finds it funny since people would inevitably be upset at the prospect of him avoiding jail entirely. Breivik backtracks on this only because he realizes that, if he's declared insane, no-one would take him or his ideals seriously.

Attention Whore
 22 July / int_31df118
comment
Attention Whore: Breivik. After getting arrested, he lies about the possibility of there being other terrorist attacks to make sure the Prime Minister pays attention to him and his cause, he does Nazi salutes in the courtroom to aggravate everyone present, and he initially goes along with his lawyer's suggestion to employ an Insanity Defense purely because he knows it'll piss off the victim's families to know that he could avoid any prison time whatsoever.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: A commission panel investigating the July 22nd attacks reveals that the attacks could've been stopped, or at least the destructive effects mitigated, had they beefed up the security and taken steps to monitor Breivik beforehand.

Would Hurt a Child: Anders kills scores of teenagers at the summer camp. He later makes it clear to his lawyer that the victims were specifically chosen for their young age as a way to torment their parents for their left-wing beliefs, as well as cripple a future generation of leftist politicians.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Anders makes it clear that the motivation behind the attack was an attack on leftist political values, denigrating his victims as Marxists, and claiming that his actions were necessary to prevent further Muslim immigration to Norway.

Category Traitor: When Breivik attempts to call up a far-right thinker in his defense, the man is clear that he wants nothing to do with him for being a murderous lunatic. Breivik dismisses him as a coward for this.

Loners Are Freaks: It is noted in the film that Anders had a very isolated life, with the only other person he talked to outside of the internet being his mother. It's implied that this isolation led him to carry out the attack as a bid for people to pay attention to him.

Terrorist Without A Cause: While he proclaims himself to despise Marxists and that it was a "righteous" execution, it is heavily implied that Breivik's actions are motivated more by a desire for a massive media spotlight towards himself above all else.

Amoral Attorney

comment
Amoral Attorney: Averted. Neither the prosecution or the defense is portrayed as heinous, and defense attorney Geir Lippestad makes it clear that he's incredibly uncomfortable defending a far-right terrorist like Breivik (he's even a member of the Norwegian Labor Party, who had been the main targets). Unfortunately, some members of the public consider him this due to who his client is and what he did.
