"Three Guns Hidden Love": Should the adulterer be killed?

Although love is hailed as a theme that human civilization never exhausts, real life is more and more like challenging this belief. From Ma Rong’s derailment during the Olympics to Lin Dan’s affair, which was recently screened, our Marriage seems to be moving towards "green" development, and is getting farther and farther away from the love that it was originally believed in.

The new film "The Hidden Love of Three Guns" starring Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and the famous beauty Iliana Di Cruz is another derailment.



While the outstanding military lieutenant colonel Rust was out on business, his beautiful wife Cynthia had an extramarital affair with the playboy Vikram. After discovering the adulterous Rust, he took a pistol and came to Vikram's house. After three shots were fired , Vikram fell to the ground and died.




This is a very simple case. Murder pays for his life, Rust's death is undoubtedly! Besides, he surrendered himself.

However, the tabloid newspaper merchant, who was also a Parsi with Rust, did not think so. He knows well that the image of Rust's patriotic soldier and the identity of Vikram's adulterer will make people sympathize with Rust from a moral standpoint, and this will bring him a ray of life.

As a result, the tabloid newspaper business began to report the case in the newspapers, with particular emphasis on Rust’s prominent officers and Vikram’s chaotic private life. He even distributed these newspapers one by one to the jury.



Not surprisingly, public opinion overwhelmingly chose to support Rust.

Obviously, outside the court, Rust has won, but he still needs to fight for exoneration in the court.

It was inevitable that Rust's calm reply appeared to be confident, and the simple case began to become complicated and confusing.



At the critical juncture, the sheriff sent evidence of a fatal blow to Rust, and the hidden information behind the murder case gradually surfaced.

It was an arms sales corruption case, in which Vikram once again stood on the opposite side of morality, and Rust's image was even brighter. Rust, who could have disclosed the hidden information and gained more public support, chose to conceal it in order to take into account the dignity of the navy, but the audience in front of the screen undoubtedly became more supportive of Rust after learning the hidden information.

Entering the final judgment stage, everyone is waiting nervously for the result, only Rust is indifferent, he said: "Tomorrow I will be safe and sound...Everyone knows that I am guilty, but I should not be punished."




Sure enough, under the offensive of moral public opinion, all the evidence against Rust became cannon fodder, and the jury finally fell to Rust, and he was acquitted.

Obviously, in this case, it was public opinion, not the law, that had the real effect.

Rust won, the people who supported him won, and the audience who supported him were also satisfied. Only the law lost, and it lost to public opinion, resulting in judicial injustice.

What is fair justice?

A fair judiciary will not succumb to the powerful and bully the weak. At the same time, it will not favor the good and wrong the bad guys. Good people need to commit crimes as well.

A fair judiciary must strictly enforce legal procedures and not be influenced by emotions.

And in this story of good people defeating bad people. Good people get immunity from crimes, and the courts become a place of incitement by public opinion. This is simply a judicial disaster.



This film is based on a real case in India, and it directly prompted India to abolish the jury system. Obviously, India believes that it is too hasty to hand the judgment to the jury.

But is this the case?

In the famous Simpson wife murder case in the United States, Simpson with a bad reputation was unanimously found guilty by the public, but it was the composure of the jury that allowed him to be acquitted. Twenty years later, new evidence was obtained from the investigation of the case. When it shows that the murderer may indeed be someone else, it also makes most Americans realize how correct the verdict was.



In the Simpson case, the jury strictly abides by judicial procedures and insists on using evidence as the basis for judgment without being influenced by extrajudicial factors such as public opinion and emotion.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the jury system. The fault is that the jury fails to uphold the justice of the legal process. This is the root of the problem.

As US Supreme Court Justice Douglas pointedly pointed out: “It is the procedure that determines most of the difference between the rule of law and the arbitrary or capricious rule of man. Firm compliance with strict legal procedures is what we rely on to achieve equality before the law. The main guarantee.”

India at that time copied the full set of British judicial systems, but obviously neither their people nor the jury were able to keep up with this advanced system.

However, judging from the tone of the whole film, the Indians still support Rust’s exoneration without any reflection.



Of course, most of us are not qualified to criticize Indians. After all, we also like the story of good people over bad guys. As for the law long ago, the moment Rust was acquitted, I even wanted to cheer. Up.

So, we clamor for the rule of law all day long, but in our bones, we haven't gotten rid of the old ailments of human treatment, and we like to convict people based on our own likes and dislikes.

So, the question is, should the adulterer be killed?

Of course not! The fault of others is not the reason for your crime. Don't worry, the adulterer will not end well. After all, outside the court, it is still a moral turf. Where can he escape?

Although the Simpson was convicted of not guilty, in the end it was not because of lawsuits that he became a pauper and had a poor life.

Life will punish those with bad morals, but the law is the law.



Finally, I warn everyone that if you have a beautiful wife at home, don't always travel on business.
