The status of the audience in this film corresponds to the jury in the play, and the director corresponds to the defendant's lawyer. A way for the audience and the jury to sympathize with the defendant is achieved through recognition of role-playing. John steward’s upright and vulnerable face plus his old loyal servant who almost paid his life in search of evidence in the play, plus a handsome defendant and the defendant’s psychologist, will soon allow the audience to establish a right The defendant’s sympathy. Correspondingly, the prosecution lawyer in the play seemed a bit stupid and slow to react, and the other appeared to be cunning and scheming from the big city. In addition, the witnesses, whether they are bar waiters or elderly psychologists, have committed multiple crimes. Prisoners, whether it is the jury in the play or the audience in front of the screen, will inevitably resist the prosecution. The reversal of the plot and the ambiguity of interpretation therefore smoothly use the psychological mechanism of the audience to unfold.
