Let me introduce this movie directly. This is a movie made in 1995. The movie is based on real events.
Time 1937-1945 Location: Alcatraz Prison (that is, the island next to San Francisco) Character: Henry (death row) James (death row's defense attorney) Warden
Henry has been miserable since he was a child, because he was thrown into stealing five dollars in order to raise his sister The prison was later held in solitary dungeon for three years because of the escape. During this period, I came out to bask in the sun for 30 minutes. I personally think it is more terrifying than Kabu Ghraib prison and Guantanamo prison. The former is the most tortured and the latter is unlimited. Delaying the trial (mostly terrorists) Henry spent three years in the dungeon and came out, but the person who escaped with him was fine because he reported that he was fine. Henry was originally imprisoned. Looking at the high-secret person, When his head was hot, he used a spoon to deal with the prisoner who had told the whistleblower and had himself locked up for three years. What awaited him was the court's verdict. In the first thirty minutes of the movie, the movie portrayed him as unreturnable. The death row prisoner, and the appearance of the lawyer James, seems to have turned a little bit (I always thought that a director who gave Henry a psychiatric evaluation would be able to send a lunch box), this turning point was not officially confirmed until the last 15 minutes of the movie, During this period, James encountered three major obstacles. The judge and the jury. Henry's own prison system
in the United States. The judge always felt that the conviction of first-degree murder was a certainty in the early stage (200 prisoners witnessed together in the cafeteria), but when the lawyer put Henry. After all the encounters in the cellar, the attitude of the jury began to change (our country is a people's jury system... the effect is also very big...) Finally, Henry expressed his desire to die rather than the devil. No guilt said Henry No guilt.
He felt that it was definitely not a dead end, but at the end, he said what he said in his heart, but the jury was persuaded. It is estimated that if the judge sends him back to prison, he will be punished. Whip corpse. .
American Prison System: Which country has no inside story? It’s just that the United States prefers self-criticism. In the 1930s, the crime rate in American society was extremely high, and it is not low now. Alcatraz prison has become the American way of maintaining public order A kind of psychological comfort, the difficulty of escape in this prison is high, it is estimated that only Mason in the movie "The Rock" can do it, because the prison director has a very large authority, so the abuse of prisoners occurs from time to time, and they are abused to death and become mentally ill. There are countless others, so criminals are very afraid to go to these famous prisons. The umbrella of the American legal system just broke a hole in the prison and became a moldy dead corner. Many people feel that there is no need to care about prisoners. However, through this case, the American people began to reflect on the fundamental role of prisons. A prisoner who only stole $5 spent three years in a dungeon and was upgraded to a prisoner of first-degree murder. Is it the external environment of the prison or the prisoner? Are you wrong? Henry finally said, I'm just a weapon, and the prison is the murderer. If the prison doesn't do a good job of educating the prisoners, doesn't probation the prisoners every day, and the prisoners continue to break the law as soon as they come out, don't you think that the prison doesn't really exist? And you yourself are in the great prison of society, we are surrounded by all kinds of crimes, aren't we? So in the end, the current prison system in the United States was also improved. Henry was finally sent back to Alcatraz for manslaughter and was found dead in the dungeon the day before he appeared in court, but he did not die in vain! So when Henry was escorted to the dungeon again, all the inmates knocked bowls to pay tribute.
In the end, lawyer James broke through all the resistance and saved Henry from death, and the prison system was improved, but Henry was still tortured to death.
In my sophomore year, I watched a lot of movies reflecting American justice, from the most famous black-and-white movie "Twelve Angry Men" with its meticulous portrayal of the jury and its huge role in the judicial system to "Righteous Sea Heroes" The U.S. military court's trial of the red rule in the military, to the sexual assault of young children in the juvenile correctional center in "Four Brothers of Pride", and the death row in "First Degree Fear" pretending to be a fool to escape justice Trials (exposure of sex scandals within the Holy See) and the various conflicts of interest in "The Runaway Jury" that have to be mentioned, in order to win the lawsuit, the jury is bought, etc.
I used to think that the abolition of the death penalty in the United States and the West was nonsense, but standing on the moral high ground, we have to admit that there is a reason for abolishing the death penalty, but the operability is too difficult. There is a popular saying in the ancient East: kill for life. . . . About the judiciary of the Celestial Empire. . . . Let’s not talk about any case that comes out to make a movie, it must be very appealing. What China lacks is not the script, but the system. Go to your system! ! ! !
PS: This "Murder of the First Degree" has been looking for it on the Internet as early as April 2011. I have to admit that this movie is very difficult to download. Many of the sources are broken, and it has been lying on the Thunder list for half a year. More, but only a quarter.
