It is no exaggeration to say that a good movie can directly hit the soul of mankind, and even change the entire society. And "Not Guilty Murder: The Colliny Case", I believe it is such a good movie.
"The Corinne Case" is a suspenseful film that subverts my imagination. First of all, it is commendable for its sophisticated shooting techniques and storytelling skills as a suspense film. The director uses interstitial and flashback techniques to make the whole film extremely suspenseful in only the first 15 minutes.
At the beginning of the movie, Corinne confessed that he committed the murder, and even waited for his arrest in the hotel. According to the common sense of ordinary people, the causes and consequences of the murders should be explained in a short while, but I did not expect such people to always be silent about their motives for committing the crime. The suspect, Corinne, was a well-behaved and dedicated auto worker, while the deceased Meyer was a wealthy man with extremely high accomplishments and a reputation for charity. Why did these two people get to know each other? After killing Meyer, Corinne kept kicking the deceased in the head. What kind of bloody vengeance can make a good person brutally kill another good person?
These ensuing suspenseful auras made the whole movie confusing and confusing, and the layers of clues also made the audience in front of the screen hold their breath and tighten their nerves. But the most powerful aspect of "The Colinni Case" is that although there are many problems that need to be solved in the film, it can still achieve the moment when the truth is revealed, allowing the audience to realize and think.
Secondly, "The Colinni Case" is a suspect film, but it has no less hard work than ordinary dramas. The film subverts the tradition of suspense films. It only uses the emotions of the film to tell the story. Through the full image of the three main characters, plus nearly an hour and a half of time for emotional preparation, the intention is not sensational and unconventional.
From the emotional point of view of the film, the most moving part of the film is to pave the way for the audience to follow the lawyer Lening to remember the fond memories that he had spent with Meyer when he was a child. In Lening's memory, Meyer was a rich person with a good manner and kindness. He also personally took care of Lening's mother and son who were constantly discriminated against by other Germans. Meyer's existence not only makes up for the father's love that Laining has been missing since childhood, but also takes the image of a good person into the audience's mind from beginning to end. Based on this kind of emotional paving, wait until the audience understands in the second half of the movie that Meyer really is a man and the heinous crime he once committed, the two scenes of painful memories of Corinne and the slashing of the enemy continue to alternate, this truth The contrast of the great white directly shocked every audience in front of the screen.
In addition, the images of the three main characters are very full. Laining is a novice lawyer who has just obtained his license. He wanted to make a big splash in his first case, but he did not expect that he was a passionate and ambitious lawyer who had taken care of and helped him for many years. On the other side is an unrelated shooting murderer. Facing the dilemma of moral dilemma and professional ethics, he finally smelled a trace of abnormality and cleared the whole story of the story. This novice lawyer grew slowly through self-struggle, and finally Overcome self-emotion and stand in front of just truth.
Meyer’s character is a confessor. We know that Meyer did not resist when facing Corinne. Instead, he closed his eyes and knelt down to accept the trial. The big stone shelved in Meyer's conscience can finally fall, which means that his benevolence for most of his life is just a self-atonement. He can finally no longer be condemned by his conscience, but can the belated trial let Corinne heal his pain?
While Corinne’s character image is an angry man, but what Corinney really wants to avenge is not that Meyer brutally killed his relatives in front of him, nor is it that the war has given him the unforgettable pain and hurt Corinne. On the contrary, the real reason is the injustice and injustice in the legal system. Therefore, the focus of the movie in the second half is no longer how to try Colinni, but how to remedy legal loopholes and how to correct mistakes?
The practical significance of the "Corinney Case" to society is that it leaves room for spectators to further reflect. The whole film uses Colinni's suicide as a blank space. The story does not let the audience know how the judge should judge Colinni in the end, but gives an open ending. What should one do after committing a crime? The law should make a fair ruling on this person, in addition to giving an explanation to the injured family members, but also to maintain the meaning of social order. If the law is not fair, who should be sanctioned by the favored person?
Every viewer knows that Corinne’s lynching of Meyer is unjustified, but is it fair to let Meyer escape the crime? Just because of the promulgation of the "Dreyer Act", can it be possible for murderers who committed crimes in the past to escape punishment? Law is the most fundamental foundation of governance in every country. Does its existence really represent the truth and cannot be questioned? When society continues to develop and progress, is it appropriate to rely solely on the law as the only basis for judging things? the answer is negative.
Therefore, "The Corinne Case" is definitely a film that can change society. From it, we can feel that the Germans are still reflecting on history and repenting of their mistakes. This kind of responsibility is definitely worthy of every nation and The country goes to admire. It's a pity that there are many mistakes in history that cannot be completely corrected and remedied, but what we can do now is to learn from the lesson, to alert ourselves to change the society through this movie.
Although the law is supreme, too many people rely too much on its existence and forget that it is only a tool for resolving social disputes and contradictions. Therefore, the common sense of the people should not be forgotten when the law is enforced. We need to understand that a society that only relies on the law is terrible. Human nature needs inner morality to restrain itself and the source of faith. Therefore, we need the traction of the light, walking in the light and under the shining of the sun, in order to make humanity dark. Where can be hidden.
