The competition between law and humanity

The old man who bought Jean Valjean’s soul with silverware gave him a forgiveness of his soul, but Javert traded his own life for Jean Valjean’s life after experiencing a long follow-up of Jean Valjean, meaning that it was given to Jean Valjean. Let the law be pardoned. At the end of the film, Jean Valjean, who stole bread for hunger for twenty years and went to jail for decades, became a newborn, a free man. He wears a military cap and a black windbreaker, his eyes are cold, his complexion is calm, and his deep legal pattern exudes a majestic and inviolable temperament. He is like a god's judgment and the incarnation of the law. No one knew how big Jean Valjean's transformation was, except Javert. Sha Wei is aware of his mistakes, shrewd and decisive, sensitive and accurate. He knows the roots of Jean Valjean. In the process of hunting Jean Valjean, he has witnessed step by step his deeds and virtues, benefiting the citizens of Vigo, making promises, and going to the sword for the people he loves. Jean Valjean forgave Javert three times when he could do an unfavorable act against Javert or even take his life. Impersonal laws cannot define the whole of a person. The saying that he was once a thief and was a gangster for life was self-defeating in the face of Jean Valjean's dedication and broad mind. Javert's belief is absolute loyalty to the law. He is not afraid of death. He is the legal net. He is the solid wall of trapped beasts and the cold muzzle of execution. He has long ceased to belong to him. Throwing himself into the river was not only his defense of his faith, but also an affirmation of Jean Valjean, and it was the first and last time he had a choice of his own. We have no right to influence his life and death, but we have the right to forgive and forgive. Liam Neeson (played by Jean Valjean) said in Schindler's list that pardon is power. We are all children of God, and in his eyes we are pure and innocent. Shi Tiesheng said that God's mercy lies in that as long as you move forward, he always gives the way. The way of salvation is to do, and God is with you.

  • Jean Valjean: [Valjean is being taken away] This is right, my dear. I stole something, I did. I stole happiness with you. I don't mind paying.

  • Javert: I've tried to live my life without breaking a single rule...

    [takes Valjean's shackles off, pushes him to the ground and puts them on himself]
