A cycle of indifference

First of all, as a film review, this article is obviously not heavy enough, and the content may be a little naive. But I still insist on writing my inner feelings without reading any other movie reviews. I believe this is far better than a single review compiled after reading many reviews and dissections. Too many times, and most of us do not have our own real thoughts, we always hope to find a reliable basis and then speak out forcefully, there is a lack of confidence in our own beliefs, and reliance on "standard" answers feel. This is my second review, but by no means the last, and I want to share my thoughts with you.
Let's turn our attention back to the film. The overall story of the film is about what happened in that small gym in the jury's verdict of a boy accused of murdering his father. I won't list the specific development of things, but normal people who have seen it should be able to understand. Almost everyone of the 12 people in the film told their own stories. Except for the person who hosted near the end of the film, he hesitated to say "there are no retired officers and soldiers". From the end, it can be seen that he should be responsible for the whole case. The most familiar, perhaps his life experience is exactly the same as this event, and others are just in the hypothetical possibilities, making people feel that there are many possibilities for the truth. Then, the movie continues to follow the brainstorming of these people. When I saw 12 people start debating, I couldn't help feeling the blood boil. It's so good for a group of people from all walks of life to be together, what a spark of thought! Everyone at first spoke of their tragic situation, which made people feel sympathetic. This is the story of a man who was originally hot-blooded, then cold-blooded, because the debate became hot-blooded, and finally returned to being cold-blooded. In fact, regardless of whether the boy is innocent or not, if it happened to them, it was assumed that they were And what is impossible for "someone who may have created this incident for the sake of profit"? ! If they could think of such a way, and agree with the possibility of this happening, why would they not do it themselves?
The last paragraph of the article says, "The law is eternal and is above everything, but what if mercy is above the law?!"
In my present opinion, the law is not eternal. The law is created by man. Since man is not perfect, and there is no perfect thing in the world, there is no reason to make the existing law perfect. What's more, as the article said, a lawyer who is not "prepared to meet the enemy" is an injustice to the plaintiff's lawyer. This in itself is a flaw in the law. What is the law? It is a tool for people to legitimize their own dirty interests.
How is a law with participation perfect? ! Unless one day, we can read the image of the defendant's brain, prove how the case happened, and then make a judgment. But here we have to pay attention. Watch an image of the prisoner's brain. Just like watching a movie, everyone will have their own ideas, so there will never be fairness in this world, unless, one day, completely rational robots replace people. It is only possible to say that "the law is eternal and above all", as for mercy, there is no such thing. But it would also feel ridiculous, it would be a world where imperfect creatures create perfect creatures. Perhaps the word "perfect" itself is not perfect.
What exactly does the movie reveal? A real world, a helpless world, because all kinds of rules have been formed, and everyone is used to it. I want to change, but I don't want to pay the price. What is the ending? The two wounded men ended up on the same front.
