As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are divided into groups. If the human groups are roughly classified into the righteous side, the dark side, and the melon-eating crowd to see the guest side. "The Crucible" also cannot escape this rule: the principal, the teachers, the guards, the defense lawyers, the police, and even the prosecutor representing justice are all ugly believers of the dark side. They are numerous and colluded with each other. The initiator of the case is also the existence of social cancer that keeps festering. On the side of justice, there are only art teachers, employees of the Human Rights Center, children in schools for the deaf and their families. The scale of justice has once again lost its caliber and is biased towards the ugly and dark side. Could it be that "God is really so unfair"? I think Min Soo should have shouted this sentence countless times in his heart, right? Min Soo's choice made my heartache but also filled with a sense of powerlessness. Why should a child bear the ugliness of the world, he is just a child. Minxiu is gone, the art teacher and more melon eaters who know the truth, the representatives of these disadvantaged groups are still fighting for justice, they want more melon eaters to know the truth, and the government to know the truth . There is only hope in this society, precisely because there are still a group of people who are making fearless efforts.
The story has come to an end though. But in our real society, this is not the case. Real crimes are covered up by desire, power, money, beauty, and indifference. The strong side is always high above the law and is outside the law. What else can we do, I think this is what the director leaves the audience to think about.
The film ends by saying, "We fought all the way, not to change the world, but not to let the world change us." That's the heart of the film. According to reports, after the film was released in South Korea, it caused a huge response in the country. The South Korean Congress has repeatedly revised and formulated new laws to severely punish criminals. The incident happened again. Through a film, a country can amend its laws and eliminate the cancer in the education sector. For that, I should applaud them.
A strong youth makes a country strong, and it is imperative to protect children. I hope this work will also bring some reference and promotion to the protection of children and youth in our country.
