Vicious criminal cases are also a fierce conflict of social contradictions

If a large-scale social movement or further development into a social revolution must be the result of a concentrated outbreak of social contradictions that cannot be reconciled, then vicious criminal cases, especially those with a certain typical social background, are also social contradictions. An outbreak, a conflict. Detective movies are made well, and the audience can generally feel the emergence, development and fierce outbreak of these contradictions through the confusing case, as well as the related feelings and hatred, love and hatred.

The Danish film "Unknown Case Code 2" should belong to this type of film. The cause of the case can be traced back to the boarding school twenty years ago. The children of the rich family and the children who are not willing to take care of them at home, in fact, can’t take care of them, mingled with each other and did a lot of evil deeds, and many violent incidents violated the law. . These wealthy parents may also be bad enough by themselves. After such a magnification of their vices, they have become social malignancies. Think about what they can bring to society when they grow up to take over those big companies and consortia.

Influential companies should represent the advanced technology and ideas of the times, as well as the social conscience, and have a strong sense of social responsibility. The leaders of these companies should do a good job in the management and development of the company, and at the same time do a good job in the training and education of their children, instead of doing harm to the society as in the movies. So after solving the case, the male protagonist detective knocked on his son's door with a beer, and wanted to have a good talk with his son who was indifferent after the divorce of the couple. The film director did not forget this theme when he rendered the plot of the case.

Denmark is a developed capitalist country. The superiority of its social system cannot contain the ugliness of human nature, and its material abundance cannot conceal all kinds of disputes and contradictions. The rich son is inherently malignant, and the heroine is both a harmer and a victim. It combines good and evil, and is a deformity that grows on the edge of pain and hope. What this society lacks is the friendliness and trust between people. If the rich are aloof and arrogant, they will use violence to solve problems when they encounter problems; the poor will hate the rich and treat some so-called injustices with hostile concepts, what else is there? Trust at all. If the interior of the middle-class family is not stable, then this society is really terrible.
