I believe in that notion because I choose to believe in the basic goodness of people.
I choose to believe that not all crimes are committed by bad people. And I try to understand that some very good people do some very bad things.
The first time I saw this was when I was in college. The teacher who looked like Barbapapa played it in class, and a bunch of girls became die-hard Edward Norton fans. I would like to thank the aforementioned Barbapapa: Mr Zhu. One of the few good teachers I met in college.
With just a handsome but not shallow face and a sinister smile at the corners of his mouth, Edward is enough to fascinate many female audiences of the "Appearance Association", but his appearance is not the first thing that most female fans who like him love him. reason. This is Edward Norton.
This future split personality professional is such an attraction. When I watched this film many years ago, I was still an innocent and innocent girl with an extremely beautiful world in her eyes. She didn't understand the plot very thoroughly, but she was really amazed at the actor who played the murderer in sheep's clothing. Only to know that it turned out to be Edward's debut. Who would have thought.
Revisiting this film after many years, the shock is not less than that, but I have a deeper understanding of the "first-level fear" hidden in it.
A well-respected bishop was brutally murdered in his home. There was blood everywhere, the body was covered in scars, fingers were chopped off, and letters were engraved on the chest. Everyone secretly paints an image of a ferocious and vicious murderer in their hearts, but the fugitive suspect caught by the police is such a person: a young and fair boy, like a frightened little white rabbit, his eyes are almost open with timidity Not open, covered in blood, curled up beside the rails, trembling unceasingly.
Regardless of the selfishness behind Richard Gere's lawyer Martin's initial decision to defend him, it is clear that after seeing the "little white rabbit", he begins to firmly believe that he is innocent -- despite the big Most people don't think so. "Little White Rabbit" had a small voice, stammered, and his eyes were full of innocence and fear, with a look of pity to me. With tears in his eyes, he recounted how the bishop adopted him, took care of him, gave him warmth, and treated him as his own, and how grateful he was to the bishop as his own father. Yes, what reason is there for him to kill someone who is so merciful?
In the United States, the law stipulates that lawyers must keep all the information of the client confidential, and the defense of the lawyer is almost the most important factor affecting the final judgment. Therefore, no matter how big the crime is, the client will usually be honest with the lawyer. Because lawyers who are proficient in debate and even cunning can still use various means to exonerate their clients even when they know that their clients are guilty.
Because of the above, the perfect performance of "Little White Rabbit" easily won the trust of the famous lawyer Martin. But what reason is there to convince the jury and the judge when all the evidence is against him?
He has "intermittent amnesia" -- so although he sees a third person in the room, the sudden coma causes him to not know who it is;
he has "split personality" -- so "Little White Rabbit" occasionally looks like Roaring and violent like a big bad wolf.
Of course, the above symptoms, quoting Martin's words to the assistant, "should add the word 'claim'".
The weak "Little White Rabbit"'s miserable life experience and painful mental illness finally succeeded in arousing people's kindness and sympathy.
Layers of truth were revealed, and the death of the venerable bishop seemed less outrageous.
If there is no "little white rabbit" caused by the elation and the arrogance that cannot be suppressed in the end, this should have been a perfect ending, or at least a lawsuit won by justice.
He blinked contemptuously, and I shuddered in front of the screen.
In all this, who is more terrifying than who?
Is it the bishop who has done all the bad things that no one knows and still enjoys the respect of the people, or the young man who looks weak and pitiful but is extremely cruel?
Is it a lawyer who insists on defending the murderer in pursuit of fame and fortune, or is it a prosecutor who insists on convicting the murderer no matter how complicated the truth behind it is and how difficult it is to distinguish between good and evil?
Is it the deception that takes advantage of the sympathy of others, or the good and the bad, and only trust the kind people you want to believe?
Is it fairness and justice in poor disguise or the fact that fairness and justice do not exist at all?
Although not very relevant, suddenly, I remembered a joke someone once said: "Everyone has a big B in their hearts". (For Big B, please refer to the split personality in the early TVB drama Sister Tuo Gun)
Ha ha.
But I still believe that even if there are very few, the beauty of the world must still be there.
