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

    A powerful satire of the judicial process at that time. Although it is very convincing to adapt based on real events, the second half of the film is long and boring by adding a fragment of the wife's mental breakdown as a movie.

    If you look like a criminal, you have to be suspected and convicted. If the real criminal does not appear in the end, will it continue to be miserable. Legal provisions, police, and judges cannot guarantee justice, and sometimes they become the perpetrators and accomplices of evil.

The Wrong Man quotes

  • [first lines]

    Prologue narrator: This is Alfred Hitchcock speaking. In the past, I have given you many kinds of suspense pictures. But this time, I would like you to see a different one. The difference lies in the fact that this is a true story, every word of it. And yet it contains elements that are stranger than all the fiction that has gone into many of the thrillers that I've made before.

  • Christopher Emmanuel 'Manny' Balestrero: Tell you what we'll do. This evening, we'll take time for music lessons. Bob'll have a lesson on the piano and Greg on the harmonica.

    Gregory Balestrero: Mine first!

    Christopher Emmanuel 'Manny' Balestrero: Each lesson will be fifteen minutes, and Greg's...
