unfairness under the law

First of all, this film is a bit interesting. The prosecutor must have read the testimony of the victim's witnesses. He knows that the murder and rape are all fat criminals, and the thin criminals are accomplices. The crimes are relatively light, but the evidence is insufficient. He made a deal with the fat criminal who had committed a serious crime, and asked him to accuse the thin criminal and assign all the charges to the thin criminal. So the fat criminal was sentenced to several years in prison, and the thin criminal was sentenced to death.

So the prosecutor is not innocent at all, so many people say that it is really unreasonable that the prosecutor is not dead, but after I read it, I think it makes sense that the prosecutor is not dead.

First, he is young, easily influenced, and easy to change his mind!

Second, he has a high position and is the chief prosecutor, the future local prosecutor (equivalent to the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate in China). It is relatively easy to change the entire judicial system after influencing the mind.

Third, the black prosecutor is really smart. Although there is an email reminder that the protagonist is suspected of being the protagonist, he did solve the incident and put the protagonist together, and the protagonist is indifferent. , it doesn't matter if it doesn't blow up, so when he finally sees the bomb, although he is surprised, he is not afraid, because his goal has been achieved, and the rest is optional.

The above three points are logical, so the fact that the black prosecutor did not die is not because the screenwriter and director were worried that they were too deep and just tried it!

This is a good film. The combination of commerciality and ideology is relatively good. I never thought that the film should be divided into a clear line. The film is made to sell tickets. It's also a good meal!

The last thing I said is an off-topic, not this movie. After watching this movie, I was thinking about a question. When your enemy is acquitted due to insufficient evidence, you will hate the law because he can't claim Justice, but when you are wronged but acquitted because of insufficient evidence, you will thank the law because he has done justice for you!

Yes, the law requires that there is no suspicion of guilt, and the law requires procedural justice. These make it easy to let the bad guys go, and it also prevents a lot of good people from being wronged!

The same is true for lawyers. The professional ethics of lawyers is to take the case of the defendant (this case may be assigned and cannot be abandoned), and they must try all legal methods to exonerate the suspect or commute the sentence. You are indignant. When you get out of the crime, I wish no one would pick up the criminal suspect's lawsuit, but if the criminal suspect is you and you have been wronged, do you hope that a lawyer can help you to file for justice?

Therefore, for any person, your likes and dislikes for the law are actually only beneficial to you. This has nothing to do with justice at all, but only interests!

The law, on the other hand, can only guarantee the basic interests of most people. It is not an oracle, it is not omnipotent, and it is not perfect.

Law Abiding Citizen quotes

  • Clyde Shelton: [Surprised to see Nick in his cell] I wasn't expecting company. Yeah, I would have -- I would have cleaned up a little.

    Nick Rice: Never seen anybody tunnel into prison before. And the solitary confinement? That was clever.

    Clyde Shelton: Well, that's how winners play. We "convince" the other guy that he's making all the right moves. So, did you ever catch my accomplice?

    Nick Rice: Yeah, I did. It's the end of the road for you now. You played us, Clyde. You played us real good.

    Clyde Shelton: Thank you. You know, I'm glad you finally get to appreciate some of the effort that I put into all of this.

    Nick Rice: Well, you set out to make a point, Clyde. You made it.

    Clyde Shelton: No, people still don't get it. They don't appreciate what I'm trying to say, Nick, but they will soon enough.

    Nick Rice: A man I cared about once told me that we can't retract the decisions that we've made, we can only affect the decisions we're going to make from here.

    Clyde Shelton: Are you trying to save me now, Nick?

    Nick Rice: I'm giving you a way out. Big difference. Stand up for those principles you've been preaching. See, we're all held accountable, Clyde. That includes you. Why don't we do the right thing here?

    Clyde Shelton: I'm doing the right thing, Nick. You just have to see it that way.

    Nick Rice: By murdering all those people, all you're doing is destroying the memory of your daughter and causing the same pain that you're suffering from.

    Clyde Shelton: So what do you suggest, Nick? Make another deal? One final offer? Is that what it is?

    Nick Rice: I don't make deals with murderers anymore, Clyde. You taught me that.

    Clyde Shelton: [scoffs] Finally. Well done. Bravo. Maybe I wasn't such a bad teacher after all.

    Nick Rice: If you go through with this, Clyde, it's a decision you'll have to live with for the rest of your life.

  • Nick Rice: [Tasting his daughter's French toast] It's very good, you cook better than your mother.

    Kelly Rice: [Upon entering the kitchen from another room] I heard that! Are you going to our daughter's recital this afternoon?

    Kelly Rice: That's not the same.

    Denise Rice: [to Kelly] It's okay, I know Dad's got to work.

    Nick Rice: That's right! Dad's got to work. And what does Dad do during the day?

    Denise Rice: Lock up bad guys!

    Nick Rice: And why does he do that?

    Denise Rice: To keep us safe.
