The film tells the story of a young woman who was brutally raped and murdered. The young woman's death and her husband's affection made the male protagonist feel that he must find the murderer who killed the young woman. During the investigation of this case, unrelated people were accused as murderers, but those who deserved their crimes were regarded as good materials for secret missions, and were released. Not only did they not have to pay the price for their crimes, but they also received Guns, get the right to manipulate people's lives at will. The rape and murder case is just a thread that leads to the whole movie. Who the real murderer is and whether it can be found out is not what the movie is concerned about. What the movie wants to do is actually to use this case to bring The corruption of the judicial system and social injustice. The deceased died tragically (the movie deliberately showed his death to reflect the murderer's ferocity), and besides the person who lost his life, there were still living strangers who were injured. The husband of the deceased sat in the train station every day, waiting for the murderer to appear, hoping to bring the man who killed his beloved wife to justice. However, in fact, the law will only protect the people it wants to protect. The so-called law is nothing but a means used by those in power to control the people at the lower levels, not something that protects people's lives and property. Since the law does not punish the guilty, the powerless can only use their own hands to pursue justice. The husband of the deceased knew that killing the murderer would not bring his wife back to life, but since the man killed his wife, he should pay his whole life to repent for the sin he sowed. So the husband of the deceased attacked the murderer, imprisoned him in his own prison, and took care of his diet every day so that he could not die, and could only wait for an unknown period of death every day. Years later, the male protagonist found the prison, the murderer did not ask the male protagonist to let him out, all he asked was the husband of the deceased to speak to him. Death is terrifying, loss of freedom is even more terrifying, but the most terrifying is complete isolation from other human beings (usually in prison, still able to visit and talk to other people). If a human being is separated from other people of the same kind, then his meaning as a "human" will also be lost. I am human because I am human in your eyes. If you don't exist in anyone's eyes, even if you can feel your own flesh and blood, it seems like you don't exist.
The design of imprisoning the murderer for many years is actually a good one. Although it is extreme, it is in line with the character's character. It can accuse the injustice of the social system and can also be used as a wheel to promote the relationship between the hero and heroine. However, a movie, no matter how well written the details, no matter how delicate the design, if there are mistakes in the joints, the audience will only remember the mistakes, and no matter how well written, it is hardly a good film Movie. The movie takes murder as the line connecting the whole play. Although murder is only a prop, it is a crucial prop. To sue this society, you have to find out the real murderer, but finding out the reason for the real murderer is too trivial: when the male protagonist looks at the photos of the female protagonist before her death, he finds that a man often stares at the female protagonist. It would be unconvincing to say that the man must be the murderer for this reason alone. Of course, it is also reasonable to make a proper investigation when there is no alternative to this possibility. But the proof that he is the real murderer is not because of the discovery of any key evidence, nor the appearance of eyewitnesses. The method of proof is only to make the heroine laugh at him for being incompetent, and then he exposes himself to be the murderer of the rape and murder case. The reason for discovering the murderer is too childish, and the reason for proving the murderer's guilt is too childish. To base serious things on childlike things will only greatly reduce the power of tragedy. Leaving the theater, what I remember is not the love of the hero and heroine, nor the shame of the judicial system, but the real murderer who was easily caught.
