----With all due respect, your honor, we don't live in this courtroom though, do we?
----No we don't.
About halfway through the film, the lawyer and the judge have this conversation.
Regardless of the degree of emphasis people placed on justice in 1993, from the current point of view, people's awareness of rights protection has been greatly improved, and they also attach great importance to justice. Because they don’t want their rights and interests to be violated by others, they learn to respect others so as to satisfy each other’s interests. For many years, people have always been willing to work hard for their own rights and for the rights of others. We citizens demand political transparency, and we the general public are gradually getting rid of legal illiteracy. We learned to ask for invoices for food and shopping instead of asking merchants for discounts and less money. March 15 seems to be more and more important. The popularity of Weibo has made more people pay attention to those who have been treated unfairly in society, and we have learned to use the pressure of public opinion to cheer for those who have been treated unfairly. Many times, fairness and justice are indeed placed in a high enough and important position by us, but there are many times when fairness and justice are just like the text in the textbook, we recite it repeatedly, but when the textbook is closed, we act the same. The law does affirm the status of fairness and justice. It's just that life is not just about the law. We will exploit the loopholes in the law for our own interests. We respect fairness and justice, on the premise of not harming our own interests, and in our rational circumstances. Or human nature, the disdain and violation of fairness and justice always happen inadvertently.
I have gone through more than 20 years, and I dare not praise the education I have received over the years, because the reason why I have the idea to write this article is that I have discovered that I have occasionally and occasionally blasphemed on fairness and justice. I'm often taught to respect others, but I can't help laughing when everyone laughs at another person's clumsiness and embarrassment, and I can't help laughing when working with people who are slow and slow to respond. of disgust. If you see people wearing masks or dirty, you will subconsciously avoid them. Yes, a lot of times, disrespect for others is born like this. I was impressed by the scene in the library in the film. Many times, we inadvertently become a member of the library. We want to keep away from these people who may cause us harm out of our own protection. or something. I've never met someone with AIDS, I don't know how I'd react, I wish I could give them a warm hug, or at least a friendly handshake.
Now, homosexuality is not as hated as it used to be, and there is even a new group of rotten women. But although we will talk about them and joke about them occasionally, we seem to be very friendly, at least we won't put anyone at the stake just because he is gay, but we pay too much attention, and rotten girl YY, etc. Not a disrespect to them.
In the film, the defendant always emphasizes that the woman who got AIDS because of having a second child is innocent, because she was infected with AIDS unintentionally. On the contrary, homosexuality is like making AIDS by herself, so they deserve it, so they get AIDS. Should be discriminated against? In real life, people often do this too, and we sympathize with victims because it's not their fault that they were hurt. And those victims who are hurt through their own fault get discrimination. Those who have been in prison before, after being released from prison, will inevitably be discriminated against and looked down upon. There is no completely fair world, we don't need to be hypocrites under the banner of fairness and justice, we should try our best to live with love and tolerance. The United States is a magical country. Their thinking and respect for human nature are worthy of human learning.
In the film, Andrew is asked in court what he loves the law, and he answers, many things, what I love most in law is that every now and again not often, but occasionally, you get to be a part of justice being done.
