The highlight of the film lies in the defense of the heroine gun. From the perspective of North Koreans, Gun is undoubtedly the most serious crime of treason, but Gun chose the most naive way to carry it to the end without pleading guilty. Luck was on Gun’s side, and top lawyers helped him defend him free of charge. The news network of the entire newspaper group investigated the legality of the Iraq War from legal to "illegal", and finally forced the prosecution to abandon the prosecution, and the heroine Gun was sentenced. Not guilty. After reading it, my heart is cold, not to mention that leaking official secrets is enough for a few times. Even the recently passed away WL L has been held accountable. Moreover, this is not a "legal or illegal" problem. I envy it. This musty British Gov team will be afraid after doing something wrong, and will give the heroine Gun a chance to defend, and the whole system will be reasonably and legally in litigation. I think even if all of the above conditions are met, it will be a miracle in North Korea. Sometimes, when you find that a miracle that happened is something like eating and drinking Lazard in other places, you should reflect on what went wrong.
This incident happened in 2003. It has been almost 20 years since it was adapted into a movie to the big screen. Maybe few people care about what happened, even less than a certain star’s derailment. So there are some things in the sun. Only underneath will they become so unscrupulous, people's hearts have long since castrated themselves. If the law can be exercised normally without the interference of irresistible forces, I think that on that day, people will have the courage to do some "good things" that do not violate morality.
Finally, let’s enjoy the offensive and defensive drills of the two lawyers:
"she should have kept her mouth shut, or complained to her superior."
-----"now i have got a real problem with people, who think that from some lowly position, they can prossibly see the big picture,"
-----"so then you should never question authority, even if you know if breaking the law?"
In the end, let me complain about the Tsundere of the barrister at the end of the movie:
Would u give me a favor, u find another place for fishing. (Translation: my mother said, don’t let me play with you.)
