Angelina Jolie's performance is better than Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", this restrained character is different from her previous passionate roles, she has to firmly control herself and brew her emotions in the right place. outbreak in the situation.
There is an intriguing plot, how can the pastor who presided over justice survived the police station with only his hands covering the sky? It stands to reason that both pastors and lawyers would be thrown into mental institutions or even assassinated. Why didn't the police chief take any action?
There are probably two explanations: First, due to the pressure of public opinion, even government officials had to be cautious. If the government at that time could control the media at will, the truth would never be revealed. , people can unite to defend justice.
The second is the integrity of human nature. Even if the world is dark, there is always a soul that cannot be overwhelmed by power. If Christine is under pressure to sign in the mental hospital, if the pastor leaves Christine alone and lets her fend for herself in the mental hospital , if the cop who went to catch the illegal immigrant is as inhuman and responsible as the captain, the chief or the psychiatrist, if the boy who was forced to assist the murder did not have the courage to confess the truth, if any of these "if"s are true, then the truth will always be covered up.
It may not be easy to eradicate human nature, but what about eradicating the integrity in your heart? A little bit of compromising with power or temptation, a little bit of obliterating what you think is right, a little bit of giving up your responsibility, a little bit of persuading yourself to justify your mistakes, this is how people lose their humanity little by little, and sin begins with compromise and giving up.
The plot of being forced into a mental hospital has also appeared in some other movies, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "The Hunt" and "The Soul Shifter". As long as a person is said to be crazy, no one cares whether what she said is the truth. In this film, all the violators of the "12 Articles" imprisoned in the mental hospital are women, just because women are weak? Why don't the police department dare to attack men? This is also a detail worth thinking about.
I think women should not be the weak ones, but should work hard for their own destiny, no matter what you want to change, no matter what you want to defend, you must fight to the end. Although sometimes, I am not sure whether hope really exists, but there will always be someone who will let me understand what kind of belief people should live for.
