What details of "The Defender" touched you?

That Song Youshuo's old classmate used to deny that he was a lawyer who was a monk halfway through. He only knew how to make money and blamed college students who had suffered injustice.

Then the old classmates saw firsthand how lawyer Song used the law at an interrogation site. With a sense of justice and brilliant speeches, he protected the students' power and prevented the trial from becoming corrupt and authoritarian.

Guessed how various directors would arrange for the reporter’s old classmates to express his change in attitude towards Lawyer Song. Is it a handshake, a bow and an apology, or a look?

neither.

As the defender of the "red elements", lawyer Song was protested in front of the court by his colleagues, throwing eggs on his clothes. The reporter's old classmate encountered Lawyer Song cleaning clothes in the toilet. The previous contempt has long disappeared, and Song Youshuo is not only his old classmate, but also an alliance, for the future of the country, college students, and a fighter at the forefront of the charge. In the next second, he will step into the battlefield again, but the suit soiled by eggs will definitely be ridiculed by the opposing lawyer, or even regarded as disrespectful behavior by the judge.

There is no such thing as "I'm sorry I blamed you before", "You did a good job, and I am very grateful for your contribution to the country". Only simple, straightforward, "Take off the shirt too, kid".

This is the purest and least pretentious moment between men.

This is what impressed me the most about the whole movie.

    How many movies South Korea will produce in 2013 that are absolutely sensitive in China? From "Horror Live" and "Influenza" to this "The Defender", they all broke out in the last half hour, hollowing out their souls and making people fall into deep thought... conscience! The practical significance of the movie is greater than the movie itself. The first half an hour is still a little difficult to substitute into the plot, but fortunately it has reached the end and has no resistance to the "calling" incitement!

    It is not very clear what kind of president Roh Moo-hyun is, but the movie is adapted from real events, at least he has done such a thing. Korean movies have always been introspecting history, which is admirable. Song Kanghao, one of the big-faced actor, played so well that he was completely brought into the court. Special extra points for the last scene, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

  • Jin-woo: You can throw dozens of eggs, but it can't hurt a boulder... As weak as eggs are, they are still living things... Boulders will break into dust, but eggs will hatch with life.
