Forgiving each other's wrongdoing is the first rule

There are too many movies in the hard disk. Some watch the title and know why they downloaded it and tell them to watch it one day. Others completely forget the reason why they downloaded it. I don’t know how this movie will be told to me. What kind of story. "Hello, Mr. Roman" belongs to the latter. On the weekend night when I was impatient and quit after watching a few movies for a minute or two, when it was already half past nine, I just wanted to find some pleasant pastime. I thought I would not be able to watch it. Half plan to see it again tomorrow. Who knows, I watched this two-hour movie in one go, and I can’t wait to write something.

Denzel Washington’s last new film "The Fence", because it was too ridiculous, I only watched it a little bit and gave up. When I first saw the former actor at the beginning of this film, my heart was a little bit tight-wouldn't it be as unpleasant as the previous film?

Fortunately, no.

The film is about an idealistic fighter who has worked diligently for many years to promote the reform of the U.S. law. He gave up the opportunity to enter a large law firm, resisted many temptations, was impoverished and even collapsed, but never forgot his original intention (this big term It is really appropriate to give it to him). In the process of accepting a case, his client unfortunately died in prison. He used the information disclosed by the client to get a reward of 100,000 U.S. dollars, bought three suits and two new shoes for himself, and invited his favorite lady to have a luxurious dinner. He even planned to move into a new apartment and became a leader under the new boss. People’s life has suddenly turned to the present. He seems to see some beautiful new scenery, and he is ready to open his arms to embrace him, abandoning the previous kind of alchemy. An old life full of ideals but miserable.

The new case is here again. This time his client turned out to be the murderer who was arrested after receiving the clue, and he was the prisoner who got the reward for this. The man named him as a defense lawyer with only one purpose-to let him live in this cage that he can't escape, and ruin him.

On the way to run away in a panic, Mr. Roman received a call from Maya, the woman he liked. The other party had always regarded him as an idol. He also came to his senses in the praise and admiration of the other party and decided to take this as an opportunity. , To fight an unprecedented lawsuit---sue yourself and defend yourself, so as to promote legal reform.

However, when he was full of ambition to sacrifice the law with his body, the illegitimate shot him to death. Fortunately, his new boss, a shrewd and capable young man with a conscience, took over the big box he almost never left, and embarked on a difficult but glorious journey as a fighter.

William, who has never seen his face in the film, said in a law school class that year: What is tolerance? It is the consequence of human nature. We are all made up of weaknesses and mistakes. We should forgive each other's wrongdoings. That is the first law of nature.

Mr. Roman also has weaknesses and made mistakes, but he is still a great man, because he has overcome his weaknesses and he does not hesitate to give everything to make up for his mistakes. At William's funeral, William's widow reminded Roman to do it for himself. He said: The real enemy is not outside, but in our hearts. It's also really thought-provoking, like a thunderbolt.

In the film, the new boss George was not completely swallowed up by his profession, which is a miracle. But it is such a miracle that gives people strength and warmth, and makes people believe that hope is always tomorrow.

In the real world, too many people "drow in the shallows" and are kidnapped by their own desires and limitations. We need people like Mr. Roman to be in front, so that we can see the tenacity and beauty of human nature, kindness and loveliness. We will be tempted to temporarily dizzy, but like George, we have not completely forgotten our original beliefs and are willing to give it a go. While fighting against the enemies in our hearts and the enemies outside, we need this kind of light to shine into the darkness and give ourselves some encouragement and courage.

Thank you "Mr. Roman, Hello".

    The rhythm problem is serious. It's about the American Dream in Los Angeles like Nightcrawler, but it's too positive in comparison, and it turns out that it's just Denzel Washington's solo show

    Every weapon is a tool if you hold it the right way. Whether life is a tragedy, a comedy, or a farce, in the end, it is a matter of life, and it is enough to write it hard while you are alive.

Roman J. Israel, Esq. quotes

  • Roman J. Israel, Esq.: You know, all those years of practicing, scouring law books, achieving technical triumphs through loopholes and ambiguities, none of which were adequate to save me from the reality of my present situation. Then today, in the middle of nowhere, lost, I had a revelation; an insight so sweeping, so clear. It's me George. See, I didn't see it before because I never experienced the other side. I'm the defendant and the plaintiff simultaneously. I file against myself, I represent myself, I convict myself, hereby expanding the full scope of the legal desert, because the judgment's built in. The only thing left is forgiveness and I grant that to myself. An act doesn't make the person guilty unless the mind is guilty as well.

  • Roman J. Israel, Esq.: The ability to have conflicting ideas in one's head takes effort.
