Schubert's "Reaper and the Girl" runs through the entire film, making the oppressed anger and fear more of a revenge mission across the ages for this film. The truth is often another form of tragedy. It is not necessary to be fragile and hideous. Divide you and me. The god of death took away the girl who couldn't resist, and the girl didn't know when she would become a god of death. There are only three characters in the film. The conflict is almost entirely in a big room. The drama is extremely strong and the atmosphere is tense and thrilling. The theme of violence control is particularly shocking in the context of historical tragedies, and the ending is equally intriguing.
When playing Schubert’s "Reaper and the Girl" in the opening movie, we can only see from the heroine’s asylum-seeking gesture of holding the man’s hand that the music has a great influence on her. The action makes the viewer question, and the serious and slightly evil music is fascinating but also chilling. Until this scene was reproduced at the end of the film and the camera turned to a wider field of vision, we realized that the inner world of the heroine was not only a struggle against the horrible memories of the past, but also a heart-piercing forgiveness, and a thorny thing. The tenacious will to face a new beginning. Fighting to change the stars and moving things is right and wrong. People who chased, hated and hurt each other can actually sit peacefully in the same room and listen to the music of the year. The dirty part of the memories and desires has also been hidden in the elegance. Under the appearance. The abuser and the abused not only exchange roles in the process of violence, they can even hide their identities while tacitly understanding, which is a kind of irony to the peace of the world.
Both husband and wife were underground workers who resisted fascist dictatorship. After the fall of fascism, the wife’s job was unknown, and the husband became the president’s competent lawyer, and even had to be appointed by the president to violate human rights such as illegal assassinations and tortures during the military rule. The chairperson of the event. When the wife learned the news, the identities of the two were on opposite sides. All victims represented by their wives who were personally subjected to the atrocities of the fascist dictatorship are physically and mentally damaged and hope to retaliate with their own hands, while the judiciary represented by the husband implements humanitarian principles to give the perpetrators protected human rights. This trial has only justice from the beginning. It's not fair.
Why can the abuser be transformed into a beast as he pleases, and the victim cannot resist; and when the victim can seek judicial asylum, he can only suppress anger and hatred, and obey the ruthless judicial authority's judgments that have never felt the same way? If the incarnation of the god of death can both satisfy selfish desires and be protected, isn’t justice just an interaction between a third party and a third party, it has nothing to do with the victim or the abuser, but just an answer to the questions of the judicial organs and the general public, the victims Their voices and hopes fell on deaf ears, and they were forced to "forgive" and "forgive" them because the entire trial process had nothing to do with them. Therefore, at the end of the film, it is enough to see that the doctor father is happy with his children and the wife can only hold her husband's hand with the grief. We are grateful to Polanski for giving the victim a chance to try the executioner himself, because a trial without compulsive consciousness can have real salvation and salvation.
I don’t know who translated the name of the film into "Immoral Trial." Although the name inevitably makes people feel that righteous indignation and anger are a little bit hypocritical, hatred and reason have switched roles. Wife-victim-nothing Be merciful and become the character he hates most-the abuser-and completely release the evil thoughts in my heart. At that moment, will I have a little understanding of the pleasure of fascism when it is evil? However, morality is originally a frame created by people spontaneously after the problem of fullness and warmth is solved. It is like a potion of warming and tonic decoction to comfort the masses but cannot release their emotions. The victim cannot be "represented", and the victim wants more than a legal result. However, even if the roles are changed, the wife still cannot escape the shadow of the past, repeating the pain in her mind over and over again, and even the final result can only make her desperate: she saw the honesty of the abuser And confession, but can't see the abyss of human evil.
His wife acted decisively and quick thinking. It can be seen that she was a backbone of the underground party when she was young. Because of this steely will, she has become neurotic and even overly sensitive. We can understand the suffering she has endured beyond words. The film not only observes the moral standards and human torture of the victims when they try to abuse the abuser, but also takes the women themselves from the realization that their actions are on the weak side: centuries of virginity and sexual gold hoops suppress women tightly. They will be violated for their sexual consciousness, but they can’t treat them in their own way. Compared with men’s sexual openness and enjoyment, women are deeply ashamed of this kind of retaliation. Even if they use their husbands or other tools to make themselves dirty, they will violate their souls when they are tortured. This is also better than women. Where the nobleness of men lies: men conquer women by conquering their bodies with self-righteousness. In fact, they are just trying to test how depraved they can be. This shamelessness is something that many women dare not agree with.
Similarly, women are also labeled as "neurotic", "sensitive", and "sixth sense". The wife recognizes the criminal through dialogue, voice, and smell, but this is all scorned by the husband who is the head of the judiciary. The steelyard in his heart first put the woman’s testimony under rationality. The most terrifying thing is that he knew that many fascist supporters had used false identities and changed history in order to clean up, but he still tried his best to prevent his wife’s revenge. This kind of justice is because of the different order of roles in its own positioning, so in the eyes of his wife, it is ridiculous and untrustworthy. The most fundamental reason is men's indifference to women's bodies after being violated, because it will only make them feel that their property has been tainted. The husband gave up revenge for his wife personally. In my opinion, it is merely a obedience of the male society to the moral system and legal norms established by itself. This kind of rules must be established from the beginning of the sacrifice (sacrifice) of the disadvantaged groups ( Sacrifice) and confession (obedience) are the same (from), so the husband trusts the criminal rather than his wife from beginning to end.
In the movie, the husband's behavior is almost inevitable. Because the role he represents is the lawyer first, and the husband second. He is the maintainer and supervisor of this social order, a scale that measures social moral standards from the perspective of absolute justice. The difference between him and fascism lies in his consistent life, insisting on his beliefs, refraining from using power for personal gain, refusing to lynch to extract a confession, and never behave like a beast. It is a pity that in the trial process, we have seen more of his behavior that is independent and even irrelevant. He is an outsider but a referee. He only looks at the future and not the past. This kind of absolute rationality can undoubtedly maintain stability, but it makes the victims worse.
The scene on the cliff gave me the illusion that the doctor would commit suicide. However, people are always more willing to believe their own nonsense and spend the rest of their lives willingly. For example, the doctor has repeatedly emphasized that he respects women. How to admire his career.
Warm colors, cold stories. The blackout caused by violent storms isolated this small house from the world and everything that the rational world insists on; the candlelight in the house symbolizes the beginning of a personal trial, although it is weak, it is enough for the parties involved. When the dawn gradually came, the electricity was restored, and the huge outside world began to intervene in the world of the cabin court, and the wife had to pronounce a sentence in advance. Darkness and dawn allude to the demise of the fascist dictatorship, because the behavior of the wife in the cabin is a repetition of the terrorist acts of the dictatorship. Fortunately, the director was not cruel enough to make the doctor really innocent. Perhaps Polanski's experience of being deeply persecuted made him more willing to stand on the side of the victim.
