Do unto others, do not impose on others

The whole movie is very smooth, there is no violent conflict, there is no human hostility, the male protagonist is strictly followed from the arrest to the trial, but the female protagonist is finally driven crazy! You can say it is because the hostess, as a housewife, is not used to pressure and has no endurance, but you can't blame anyone, even a prisoner, because he hasn't been planted, and everyone is fulfilling their obligations in accordance with their social roles. So, where is the problem, who is wrong, I am sure, no one is wrong, shamelessly speaking, it is the male lead's back! So, what's wrong!
What I see is that individuals are so small in front of the system. How difficult it is for you to prove your innocence. No matter how fair the system is, there is coercive force, and there is a strong disparity in strength from individuals! Therefore, I follow the innocence theory. If I am guilty, you will prove it, and the system will prove it, instead of the accent of "It wasn't you who hit him, why did you help him?" As a marginal system person, I have to ask myself not to be innocent, but still with a hint of arrogant "I have seen you through" self-righteousness!
Do not do to others what you don't want to do to others
as a precept

    Hitchcock's most serious, solid, powerful, and emotionally moving film.

    The shot of "injustice" is excellent, and Henry Fonda is very suitable for this role. There are two good lens languages: 1. Peek inside the cage through a small hole; 2. The vertigo shot of the protagonist after entering the prison.
