Three days of stories, three interviews, three videos. The fate of three characters. When I finally saw the complete videotape I had been looking for, I couldn't hold back the tears. At this time, you can't help but sigh: So that's the case, so he already knew it. I already knew it!
In order to save more people who may be innocent and sentenced to death. Gore and his friends have been calling for the death penalty to be abolished for years. Their philosophy is that "Death doesn't just destroy one person, it destroys a family, even more families, more people. This just satisfies the greed of human beings to kill each other." But they failed, with Totalitarian politicians easily wipe out their efforts. In the end, they had to commit suicide to realize their ideal. Yet it was an unusual suicide. Gore's female colleague pretended to be raped and murdered by Gore, and another friend hid the tape after filming the entire process. Gore was jailed and sentenced to death six years later. Three days before the execution, he commissioned a lawyer to invite a female reporter to tell the reporter about his life, but he deliberately concealed their "suicide" plan. However, the reporter discovered the strangeness, and then she found two video clips, but could not find the key evidence to prove Gore's innocence. It wasn't until finally, an hour before Gore's execution, that the conclusive evidence, the videotape of the real situation, was finally found. But it's too late. A man who painstakingly planned a "murder" against himself, and then waited 6 years to prove the absurdity of the death penalty with self-sacrifice.
"I want to find someone to document my life, not to prove my innocence, but to let my son know how his father lived," Gore said. Just to save the lives of others, who are repeat offenders and heinous in the eyes of many. Gore, his female colleagues, his friends, with life, and not only with life, but also with moments of trembling and anxiety to overcome the fear of death, moments of loneliness and suffering to endure the rejection and misunderstanding of others, for the sake of ideals. Struggle and have to be separated from the dear ones, and have to send the dear ones to death, all of which are just to save others who have nothing to do with themselves and who are sinful. This cannot but be said to be a deep compassion. Even if Christ was alive, would he be able to suffer the calamity of being crucified again for sinful mankind?
In the face of human sin and threats from a totalitarian world, there are always saints among us. Sadly, however, in the end the saints are not killed by the sword of power, more often, they are killed by our indifference, stupidity and selfishness.
