Toward the end of the movie, a huge picture of the ad with a beautiful girl wearing red and blowing a bubble gun is so impressive. Everything is red in that photo except the girl's dark hair and her rather sad big eyes. It is shot in Geneva. It is dark and dreary. And it is windy. Eventually, the ad was blew away by strong wind when a young guy drove passed it and he saw this ad. He smiled. He must be touched somehow by a huge red image falling down. The strong reddish hue is so contrasting the grayish everything else. And witnessing the strong wind toppling it down which make the girl's face winkled and crooked and eventually disappeared is very dramatic This is a pure visual communication but somehow evoking quite a strong emotions and even memory.

Valentine: If I had to go to court...are there still judges like you?
The Judge: You won't go to court. Justice doesn't deal with the innocent.

Valentine: You're not afraid?
The Judge: I wonder what I'd do in their place. The same thing.
Valentine: You'd throw stones?
The Judge: In their place? Of course. And that goes for everyone I judged. Given their lives, I would steal, I'd kill, I'd lie. Of course I would. All that because I wasn't in their shoes, but mine.
