The law is like a torch. It sounds high-sounding and brings light to mankind. In fact, whoever holds the torch can hide himself behind the flames, peek at those exposed to the light, and then hold the torch to challenge him, condemn him, and even openly incite the people to murder him. The law is no longer restoring the truth with facts and logic, but concealing the truth. The prosecution avoided rape, and the defense avoided murder. No one speaks for justice anymore. Therefore, the film gave an open plot and ending. The officer’s temperament was terrifying and disgusting. The wife was obviously a flirty and coquettish woman who could not be trusted. The dead Barney was defended by his partner, but was provided by his own daughter as evidence. Actual rape, in fact, the audience can infer a possibility themselves, and the prosecution also mentioned some, that is, after the frivolous wife was dating Barney, she was first caught by her jealous and irritable military officer husband. , And then angrily killed Barney, and then conspired with his wife to frame Barney for rape. The emergence of the main evidence "underpants" is also surprising, and it is worth doubting its various possibilities. In the end, the acquitted person ran away without paying the lawyer's fees, which made people feel that the couple was unreliable. In short, nothing is accurately explained. The law has been completely reduced to a debate tool needed by lawyers to support their families. It has nothing to do with justice, morals, and truth.
