Humanity under the Invalidation of Recourse to Law

Watched it tonight at QCL with a recent relationship of the opposite sex. Yesterday I saw it at Tao Piao Piao, because it is an Indian film, the first impression should be good, and the suspense seems to be his appetite, so I recommended it.

The love story at the beginning of the film is quite beautiful, but the sweeter it is, the stronger the contrast will be formed in the sadness that follows. The male and female protagonists are both blind, and the male protagonist is a voice actor. The female protagonist used to work in a public welfare organization, but not long after the marriage, the female protagonist was abused by two people. Reported to the police station, but was deliberately delayed to collect evidence 24 hours later, because the sheriff and police officer were both bribed by the district councillor, and the councillor was the brother of one of the two who sexually assaulted. With the first time, and the second time, the heroine thought that such days were not over, so she hanged herself. Leaving a letter, the male protagonist started his revenge game.

The game is started by someone else, and the rules are set by him, and the ending is as he expected. His omnipotence is reflected in three aspects: one is his extraordinary voice imitation ability, which is the key to his revenge; the second is his wisdom, almost everything is in his plan; the third is his Make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, use your hearing to judge the opponent's position, and turn off the lights to fight with your opponent.

After about an hour and ten minutes of the film, in the words of a friend, there is no urine point in the whole process. Every frame is fascinating to watch. Although the male protagonist is invisible, he is full of various emotions, full of tears, anger, and calm. The expressions and emotions are all in place.

I want to complain a little bit, I don’t know if it’s because of the theater, or it’s unique to Indian movies. Sitting in the theater, the sound is too loud, and I can’t stand it. After all, I’m suspenseful and I’m timid, and the BGM deserves to make me scared.

What I want to talk about the most is actually the title, how to choose the problem when resorting to law is invalid. In fact, there are really only two ways for the male protagonist to go, either to live a life of grief without saying a word, or to take revenge, obviously choosing the latter. If it is said that they feel the same way as the male protagonist, how do most people choose? I don't think I can do anything myself. I hate my incompetence. At most, I'll be a foolish and foolhardy man who kills myself. But the male protagonist has become an omnipotent person, fighting against ugliness and corruption with less power than ordinary people.

I can't call it a successful ending. Because in a society ruled by law, he did not solve the problem through the law, even if the main reason was that resorting to the law was completely ineffective under the circumstances, but when we look back and think about it, is this way of revenge the right way? Is it human? Is it natural law? Three lives were not exchanged for one life. It was just the pain and madness of losing a loved one that made him the executioner. After communicating with friends, he believes that the deep meaning of the film is to highlight the corruption of the police and forcing the public to retaliate.

The plot is good, the actors are great, and the movie viewing experience is good, but maybe because I don't agree with such revenge so much, criticizing myself for being hypocritical or pretending to stand on the moral high ground is fine. When I walk out of the theater, my mood is very dull.
