Judge Daddy
Towards the end of the film, I thought to myself "I'll be acquitted eventually". I thought the audience would expect the same in their hearts, but it didn't. A four-year sentence is already a death sentence for an elderly man suffering from cancer. Even from an emotional point of view, we all feel that the plaintiff deserves to die, and the bad guy deserves to die. The defendant is a fair and strict judge, a "good man", but this does not mean that he can escape the judgment of the law. Although the "bad man" is bad, he still enjoys the right to legal justice. Respect for the right to life, like the concept conveyed by the film.
In the final court scene of the film, the lawyer cross-examined the defendant, Judge Pamo. As a lawyer, his son Hank did his best. When he pressed his father, "As the strictest judge, why did the deceased be sentenced for only 30 days before, and at least he had to In half a year, if it wasn't for the first time, then the prisoner would not have been released early to kill his girlfriend, and what happened today would not have happened."
As the son of Judge Palmer, Hank has never been a harmonious father and son. Hank's trip was originally due to the death of his mother. He had left the town many years ago and is already a well-known lawyer, but he and his father The relationship between the two has always been very bad, the two can hardly be alone in the same space, the two meet and talk, and the smell of gunpowder is full of gunpowder.
In the final process of the cross-examination, we learned that the father, Judge Pamo, saw the shadow of his son in the deceased who was a little boy in the case that had been sentenced. And Hank, a 13-year-old juvenile delinquent who was once a problem boy, later lost his baseball career when he was 17 years old when he smoked marijuana while driving and injured his elder brother's hand. As the judge's father, he used the most severe treatment method. Even if he finally went to law school and won the first place, he could not get his father's appreciation. In the end, he is still the lonely child who made mistakes in his childhood, longing for love but not getting it.
I like the way the film finally reconciles, there are no major sensationalities and hugs, sometimes it is just a look, just a few lines of dialogue, but I can feel that love is melting the ice blade between father and son. The relationship between father and son is like a small river. You are on this bank, and I am on the other bank. Love is like kicking and kicking a flowing river. There is a small bridge in my heart. I look at each other, but I can't say it.
