Watching the wronged people wash away their unjust injustices, and justice being done, makes people feel particularly relieved. Therefore, "The Shawshank Redemption" has always been ranked at the top of the classic movie list. Everyone may be wronged. Recently, three children and a fall Granny's case, who's lying? confusing. The most helpless thing for people is that they can't make sense and are wronged, so that some people have to die to prove their innocence. "In the Name of the Father" is a real incident in the United Kingdom in the 1970s. It took place during the battle between the British Army and the Irish Republican Army. The protagonist, without any evidence or witnessing the master, was beaten and framed as a terrorist bombing party. Save him, and other relatives were also identified as accomplices. After 15 years of imprisonment, his father died of illness in prison. Through his own continuous appeal, with the help of a righteous female lawyer, the case was successfully reversed. I think of a person fighting against the government, like an egg on a stone, how to protect the weak, and now there are measures such as whether to execute confessions by torture, lawyers to protect, independent and fair trials, etc., but the government can still command and use all its forces to interfere with the parties. , especially unsupervised governments. Perhaps due to racial conflicts, they were willing to kill a bad person by mistake, in order to cover up the truth, maintain face, and complete the achievements in solving cases, the "strike hard" at that time, in order to meet the voices of the people, sometimes the court's trial will be interfered by public opinion, such as The reasons for the piano boy and so on, anyway, it is an organization, there are any reasons, no one will be responsible for making mistakes, even if it is negative, there will be "scapegoats". Western sages proposed that power should be locked in the cage of the system, that power should be checked and balanced, that the judiciary should be independent and impartial, that citizens could have weapons, etc., and they just wanted to protect every weak individual. In addition, the government must sincerely admit and reflect on its mistakes, so as to avoid repeating it next time. Therefore, whether it is the Cultural Revolution or 64, people with knowledge have suggested that it cannot be avoided, and that people should know the truth and reflect on it. People take advantage of their lifetime to publicly apologize to victims in order to seek peace of mind. Reflection is not about reckoning, when the so-called grievances will be repaid, but to distinguish between right and wrong, true and false, why does this happen, those places If something goes wrong, if we don’t do this, we will still be living in an era where our values ​​and our views are ambiguous. When the interests of the political party, the state, and the collective are highlighted, how to protect the interests of individuals is a problem that every small citizen must think about, because none of us can escape the intrusion in the name of these big names, such as forced demolition.
