The turbulent waves under the trickling water - a small comment by Zhao Xue

Larue 2022-03-06 08:01:24


I must honestly admit that I watched this show by accident. Recently, there has been a shortage of dramas. Although "Hemlock" is hot over there, the download speed and subtitle production speed are all crashing. Zhaoxue who only watched this intermittently is Rectify, Chinese The literal translation should be "correction, correction", and the subtitle team translated him as "Zhao Xue", which is estimated to be the intuition of the first episode of getting out of prison, thinking that this is a simple crime reversal drama, if you see the second episode If you think so, then you are wrong. Students who simply like and only watch "violent aesthetics" crime films can move away directly. This is not a crime film.


Having said that, I also became a staunch fan of American dramas by relying on the typical crime film "Prison Break". The United States is the originator of crime films. I just watched "Django" with my husband last week, but on the surface, The protagonist is a criminal who has just been released, which seems to coincide with some routines of fighting and killing. In fact, there is also a very compassionate and very delicate human theme - people, life, human nature, and this undercurrent, in the Under the seemingly sparkling and calm water, the director, the photographer, and the male lead (this Aden Young must be praised, his acting skills are too strong), are not inferior to the outside of the story at all.
The whole story is full of mysteries. Before the male No. 1 was released from prison, the prison officers checked the newly admitted prisoners in the same screen. It was not enough to strip them, but they had to be checked for chrysanthemums. However, the male lead Daniel’s Muran explained that such things are common to him and there is nothing unusual. The camera flashed back, and when he was released from prison for inspection, the prison guard actually handed him his clothes and shoes, and affectionately called him “Daniel” ", using "I'm supposed you have to take off your prison uniform...", when Daniel was about to take off his prison uniform, the prison guard actually turned around on his own initiative. A look of surprise. While Daniel was flattered and hurriedly undressed, the prison guard actually said something even more unbelievable-even behind his back-he asked, "Would U like something to drink?" (What would you like to drink?) Daniel himself didn't believe his ears, he asked subconsciously, "What?" He was a felon in this prison for 19 years! Next, the prison guard was very calm: "I can bring you something to drink when I come back." Daniel thought about it and chose the simplest and cheapest one: "A coke." (A glass of Coke). The prison guard actually asked again: "Do you add ice?" Daniel replied mechanically: "Okay." At this time, the title of the first episode came out, the subtitles, the footsteps surrounded by the dazzling sunshine, the unruly and melancholy sister The face, the cigarettes wrapped around it, the kind face, the relatives, the friends...


It's all a reminder -- it's just the message the show has delivered to you in just over a minute. In this minute, the difference between the front and the back of the prison guard indicates that the protagonist has two completely different lives in the past and tomorrow. From the scorned prisoner to the ordinary person in bright clothes, how does a person's crime change his life? ; And how to determine whether a person has committed a crime or not, and are the judgments and standards themselves sufficient, reasonable and accurate? The emergence of DNA technology saved Daniel, even after 19 years of his imprisonment, but without the invention and promotion of DNA, would Daniel have died in prison forever? ! When I learned the news of Daniel's release from prison, my biological mother, my sister, my stepfather, my stepfather's son, the judge who personally arrested Daniel and put him in prison, the voices of the town's media, and the perspectives of so many, many people , have their own reasons, have their own worries worthy of forgiveness and understanding, all kinds and intriguing. This case changed Daniel's life, his family's life, and the lives of many people in the town. What exposed more was the terrible blood and darkness inherent in the depths of human nature.


People are all in the name of good deeds. When the girl was killed back then, of course it was necessary to explain to the girl's parents, to find out the real murderer, and to hand over Daniel's heartfelt satisfaction. The story of this case was straight, many of the absurdity of the boys in those days, the debauchery of the girl's nature, and the weight of the judge in the political arena. Code... The curtain is slowly torn open one by one, leaving us torn apart and bloodied.


There is no absolute right and no absolute wrong in this world. Daniel's life is ruined. He jumped directly from juvenile to middle age, how can his youth claim compensation? ! Has he changed in these nineteen years? ! If he has always been himself, why is he punished? Who has the right to deprive him of his right to live as an ordinary man? Is this right appropriate or not, and what is the supervision? Are there restrictions? Who is this right granted by? ! Is this giving itself fair? For Daniel, the murdered girl is certainly weak, but for Daniel, is the public moral judgment and moral persecution not a kind of power? ! If he is no longer the teenager he was 19 years ago, how should he face two completely opposite lives? ! As bystanders, are we responsible but capable enough to avoid similar tragedies? !


The screenwriter and director of this film are actually involuntarily conducting a self-reflection that intellectuals should have in the social system. The trajectory of humanistic care and self-redemption is so obvious. In this increasingly materialistic, impetuous and crazy world, let the We find an hour a week, calm down, make a cup of green tea, follow Daniel, and follow him to discover ourselves again and again and perceive life.


Anyway, I just watched the fifth episode now, and I have decided to delete all the hemlocks that I have seen or not seen, and about this show, in the collection area of ​​my hard drive, I created a folder called - Rectify .
