    Dirty Harry: A Relic of a Bygone Era

    Watching the 1971 cop thriller Dirty Harry at a time when feminism and anti-racism become increasingly mainstream is indeed a nerve-racking experience. Directed by the earlier B-movie director Don Siegel, the 102-minute film, which portrays the cat-and -mouse-chase of a San Francisco police...

    I really want to know when the first gangster policeman appeared on film and television. Harry is definitely not the first, nor will he be the most handsome one.

    Crime and punishment San Francisco in the 1970s was too monotonous compared to today. San Francisco without neon wine green without colorful colors would not be San Francisco. The old cowboy jumped from a shabby and dead small town cowboy to a city policeman with busy streets and high-rise buildings. He continued to act as a chivalrous man, eliminate violence, punish evil, and promote goodness. For the expression of good and bad beauty and ugly good and evil, martial arts films and Westerns are no different. When will people question the law? When the bad guy kills the good guy or when the bad guy succeeds, the law still has to protect the bad guy's rights. American law is absolutely good law not evil law, but it has never been able to mediate this paradox that makes people grit their teeth. Only in the world of martial arts films and westerns can the protagonist and the audience enjoy the pleasures and grievances that can only be achieved in this extrajudicial land. 50 years later, Democrats still continue this regrettable legal policy of "bow down" to the bad guys, which further reflects the meaning of the film's torture of moral justice and law.
