"Bernie": The good and the bad are in a dilemma

Bernie, a single man living in a remote town in Carthage, Texas, works as a funeral director and enjoys participating in various community activities in his spare time. A natural and naive image is already intriguing, and the comprehensive reception of people and things is unstoppable. On this day, the town tycoon died, leaving behind a widow of eccentricity who was hated by the whole town. Due to family property disputes, this widow is becoming notorious. She not only has constant lawsuits with relatives and family members, but also picks and chooses against everyone around her, making her a lonely widow. At the funeral, when the benevolent Bernie and the widow met, Bernie's idea of ​​benevolence was once again inspired. After many visits and chats, he quickly fought with the old woman and even developed to the point where he was inseparable all day long. Double-entry pairs are squandered. The gossip is the second place. What I never expected is that one day the old woman suddenly disappeared and Bernie became the full spokesperson. After months of suspicion, the police finally took action and finally found the old man's frozen body in the refrigerator in the old woman's garage.

This is not the whole story of the film. Although Bernie immediately revealed the cause and effect, his subsequent court defense has become the biggest attraction of the film. Even if Bernie killed someone, he was a "heinous" person. Bernie, who was championed by the whole town, got the support of everyone, which made the court make the first decision in history to transfer Bernie to an unfamiliar area. Trial. The splendid debate in the court has become a rare sensational debate. In the end, Bernie was unsurprisingly sentenced to 50 years in prison, leaving the audience with a lot of incredible thinking. Should a person who has done good deeds for everyone be convicted after killing a person that everyone hates?

The film is adapted from real life, directed by Richard Linklater, the director of "Before Sunset", led by the fat man Jack Black, and the old drama Shirley McLean plays the old woman. The shooting technique is mixed with the pseudo-record form, a lot of interview memories are added, and the character of Bernie is introduced and described in a humorous way. After that, the real plot begins to unfold, and then questions are left for thinking. In my opinion, the sentence to Bernie is right. Even though he is an incomparably good man, it is always wrong to kill. What's more, the person he killed was not a bad person for him, but he was taken care of. People who take care of. At this point, it is enough to convict him. But for those who have received a lot of benefits from him, this is indeed a loss. If you have a soft spot for the courts, this film is not to be missed!
