Who is the murderer

Movies with sound only appeared in 1927. A serial child killer appeared under the black and white search, and was tried by the underworld. The end was in the real court, and the words from the mother of the three victims stopped abruptly in the voice of the mother of the three victims: We should also pay more attention to our children. The film's dark humor and irony are obvious. When the gang tried the murderer, the "presiding judge" said that all the people present were legal experts, and all of them had been in prison for "a while"; "everything will be done according to the law"; such a private court would have What fairness to speak of. And this is the reflection of the real court. The people hearing are the representatives of emotion, the presiding judge is the representative of political rights, and the lawyer is the representative of the law, that is, the representative of reason. After the murderer's statement, the emotion disregarded the facts and lynched it, political rights wanted to get rid of it quickly, and reason set up a barrier in front of the facts, and wanted to protect it. Explain that as far as the facts are concerned, the murderer does not need to be sentenced to death, that is, there is a reason for the incident, and there is another hidden reason. The secret is that the murderer is a mental patient, a patient, and the patient needs sympathy, protection, and care, and he is a murderer, and this is where the entanglement lies. So I am very confused now. In fact, in many later films, this issue and similar issues have been interpreted and discussed in different ways. It seems that they have not been able to convince everyone, but they have stood still at certain points. Well, that's it, I feel like I don't know what to do.

    The public trial in a private court, the inner confession of the psychopathic perpetrator. The relationship and contradiction between human rights and morality: whether the psychopathic and irresistible murder should bear the crime, and the moral punishment of the murderer by everyone. Pietro's performance fully demonstrates the charm of expressionism. The first half is a little boring, and the historical status is due to the intentions in the film.

    To interpret a classic movie, one must contact the environment at the time. Reading Foucault's "Discipline and Punishment" and "Madness and Civilization" may have an understanding of the European legal system in the film. In fact, in terms of plot, this movie is very rough, but the final judgment means extended. Human rights, freedom, rights, and mental illness are the products of the Middle Ages that soften, and this is the essence of this play.
