After watching this drama, I can't calm down for a long time, and I can talk about my feelings from several angles.
1. Is late justice justice?
Jerry in the play was finally acquitted after being wronged for 15 years, and his father, who had died, was acquitted 15 years later, and an apology from the British government.
Is this justice? If justice is timeless, justice delayed is justice indeed.
From the perspective of timeliness, I think that justice that arrives late is not justice. It is more like the delayed appearance of the truth. After testing all human nature and people's true thoughts about the pursuit of truth, they finally came. For the parties concerned, this is no longer a matter of justice, but a true account and end to the sufferings they have suffered.
From the perspective of the person's wasted life, justice that arrives late is not justice. Their wasted life and wasted years cannot be changed. They are all paying for the mistakes of others and the evil of others. How can this be counted? What about justice?
Indeed, it is impossible to agree that late justice is justice.
2. Keep the faith
Finally being able to usher in the acquittal verdict is related to the father's consistent belief, the lawyer's unremitting exploration of the truth, Jerry's renewed confidence, and the family's belief that they will not give up.
People's beliefs do bring a lot of power and guide us all the way.
3. How the system avoids the evil of human nature
This is probably what any law strives to pursue, and there is no end to it, because it is never possible to know the degree of evil in human nature, and the evil of human beings is indeed constantly refreshing people's cognition.
The system may not be able to avoid endless evils in advance. A good error correction system and a mutual supervision system at the bottom are the best solutions for us to avoid similar evils as much as possible in the years to come.
After knowing the truth, government officials still choose to turn a blind eye, and even continue to hide the truth. This is probably because human nature cannot face the big mistakes that have been made, so they continue to hide the truth.
4. Other thoughts
Because he's Irish, because he stole things from whores, because he used to be a jerk, his words can't be trusted, logical fallacies like this abound in life. For example, he lied before, so what he said now is not feasible.
Sticking to his personality and doing what he thinks is right in his heart, my father used his consistent work standards to usher in the respect of the prisoners (after his death, all the prisoners used newspapers to burn paper for him, and he cried).
Human growth is a long process, in short, we still have to believe in the kindness of people and people in their hearts.
