The story takes place in Argentina in 1974. Liliana (Carla Quevedo), a small town beauty, left Gomez, who had been in love with her for many years, and came to the capital, Buenos Aires, as a primary school teacher, where she met Mora, a bank clerk. Rice (Pablo Lager) gets married, but is brutally raped and killed by Gomez, who is in pursuit of her new marriage. Morales, who has lost his beloved wife, is surrounded by paralegal Benjamin Espoxido (Ricardo Darling), clerk Pablo Sandov and female lawyer Erinman Hestin (Soleil). With the help of Da Villamir), after two years of searching, he finally solved the suspense step by step and found the real murderer Gomez. However, in 1976, when the right-wing military government of Argentina came to power, Gomez escaped legal punishment by being an informant of the military and police. The man of justice was frightened and kept silent, and the victim Morales unswervingly insisted on bringing the perpetrators to justice, and lynched Gomez alone for life. It was not until 25 years later, in 1999, that Benjamin discovered this ending when he retired to write a memoir of the case. He finally released his previous suspicions and walked out of his fears, and solved the unattainable secret love complex for Eileenman for many years.
This film is a literary and political film. On the literary level, there are two love lines: the victim Morales' revenge obsession for his deceased wife for nearly 30 years; and the sultry secret love of paralegal Benjamin for female lawyer Erin Mann for nearly 30 years. On the legal and political level, the 30-year timeline is exactly the 30 years when Argentina said goodbye to the gentle and fair Peronism, moved towards the military government and the economic right, political turmoil, the collapse of the rule of law, and the disparity between the rich and the poor. So far, Argentina has fallen from the ranks of the independent and rich countries in the early 20th century into the quagmire of the Third World, and has become a "Beat Country" like the injustice of the century.
The mystery of love and the mystery of law and politics are actually the same mystery. What is missing between Te Amo (I love you) and Te Mo (I fear) is not just a letter A, but to solve the mystery of justice.
The key to solving this puzzle lies in the two surprisingly similar dialogues before and after the film: the first is that after catching Gomez, the female lawyer saw something strange in his lustful eyes, so she forced her confession: "She is 168, look at you, giantess and little dwarfs, beautiful women like her can't be touched by ordinary people, only real men can catch her, even if she is a third party behind a bank clerk, it must be A macho man with a convertible, tall, handsome and responsible, can please women, like you, a slut, who cannot meet the real needs of women." This shock will successfully reveal the psychologically distorted Gomez. Pants and birds also fight.
The second paragraph is that the military police released Gomez, and Benjamin and the female lawyer went to judge the case. The police not only persuaded Eileenman to stay out of business, but also seriously hurt Benjamin's self-esteem by using alienation tactics: "Don't pull her to support you, don't pester her. , she is not the same as you, she graduated from Harvard, you barely finished high school, she is young, you are old, she is rich, you are poor, she is inviolable, you have nothing, you come to me alone."
The two paragraphs of one righteous and one evil are actually exactly the same, that is, to be "right to each other". Diaosi men don't want to be delusional about beautiful women, and poor assistants don't have a crush on every lady and a successful female lawyer. A beautiful woman should marry a bank clerk for a grand wedding ceremony and go skiing, and a lady should marry an engineer and have two children and live happily ever after. What about a dick guy? Either fight hard and become a mentally ill murderer, or be ashamed and rotten in the stomach and die alone.
Is this "justice"? Isn't this "just"? Erinman said that the law cannot give absolute perfect justice, only relative justice. It can be relatively fair to catch a scapegoat and quickly close the case. It can be relatively fair to extort a confession by torture. It can be relatively fair to let the criminal out if it has value. Similarly, a beautiful woman is born a beautiful woman and can climb a high branch. It is also relatively fair. It is relatively fair to be able to study at Harvard, and no one dares to violate it... God created people for a reason, and I was born to be useful, then God created scumbags, the best diaosi who were born incompetent, what is their relative justice? Woolen cloth? Is it violence, big dick, hooligan, opportunism, if you are successful, you will run wild with guns in the streets, or with affectionate eyes, take out a touching love memoir and incite the heroine to tears?
Perfect justice is not available, not only limited by the historical condition of unfair starting point. The injustice of the starting point can also be rounded up by fair opportunities, but the desires of people's hearts are different, and it is difficult to distribute them reasonably. What is even more difficult is that people's desires not only point to resources and wealth, but also point to the relationship between people. What you want is not what I want, cooperation cannot be achieved, harmony, goodness, and justice are all unsolved. 1) The starting point is different; 2) The desire is different; 3) The relationship between people influences and restricts each other. These three problems are all intractable mysteries in the fair appeal of love and law and politics.
The desire of the murderer Gomez is not actually sex, but a sense of accomplishment. This desire was distorted to the extreme after being abandoned by the beautiful woman, and was released through rape. Later, she was motivated to confess. It was also because of this motive that the sense of accomplishment needed applause from the audience. Morales understands this desire of his, does not put it to death, but completely isolates it from the world to death, and does not say a word to him, making his sense of accomplishment completely unachievable. Morales' desire is to have what he loves, and his direction is that this love "cannot be taken away". He has a good career, status and personal qualities, and he lacks love when he meets Liliana for the first time. He felt humbled because of love, and later he even forgot all the details of his deceased wife, which shows that his revenge is not out of love, nor is it to achieve the judicial justice of "life imprisonment", but to fulfill the fact that he cannot be "taken away". Obsession, Gao Fushuai's desire to win back after being shamelessly poached by a diaosi. This clue of the parties' love triangle is actually a vicious development of the contradiction between the rich and the poor to an extreme form.
Benjamin is a literary young man. He even used literary techniques to write files, but the crux of his desire is inferiority. A few legal terms from Emmanuel knocked him down under the pomegranate skirt. After the clerk made himself a scapegoat, this young literary Cowardly, running away, and fearful, not only did he dare not chase after the woman he liked, but he even lost the courage to insist on being a young gentleman. Clerk Pablo Sandover's desire is wine. His marriage failed, but he enjoys himself in taverns and friendships. His famous saying, people can change everything, but hobbies will not change, and he truly says "desire is different" This key word eventually sacrificed himself to Benjamin Ki. Eileenman's desire is to reconcile. She has a prominent background and an excellent education. Even if the military police say that things from Harvard and Buddhism can't save the new Argentina, she still continues to practice her own life. She chases Benjamin's train, and her enigmatic eyes flow out. Tears, but she still did not take action. In the end, Benjamin overcame her fear and came to her. She said to Benjamin that (divorce and abandonment of the family) this matter was very complicated, but she still closed the door to the secretary, intending to actively deal with this most important issue. complex interpersonal relationships. This emotional clue of legal practitioners is actually a form of gradual and benign release of the tension between the rich and the poor through restraint, understanding and communication.
After reading the above grievances and hatreds, have you found the mystery of legal and political solutions to the Argentine problem? 1) The disparity between the rich and the poor, the high foreign debts, and the primary industry as the main body, this is a historical problem in Argentina; 2) The exodus of the rich and the poor take to the streets; Problems; 3) The educated and Catholic middle class is huge, over-consumed, under-accumulated, and the contradictions between the left and right social policies are one after another. This is the social relationship problem in Argentina. To achieve a just society and rebuild a broken country, poor people like Benjamin need to overcome their cowardice, be brave, and stick to their conscience; at the same time, they need to face rationally with rich people like Eileen Man, and find ways to reconcile conflicts. , to achieve a harmonious solution.
Latin America and developing East Asia have always been similar, as in the 2013 South Korean film Yang Woo Suk's "The Defender" and this "Mysterious Eyes." The social justice issue in Argentina is also a problem in Mexico, it is also a problem in Thailand, it is also a problem in South Korea and North Korea, and it is also a problem in China. Perfect justice is an unresolved puzzle that all human beings yearn for. It is as complicated and confusing as love. Maybe you will say that things like a love triangle are very simple, two men love one woman, and justice is to let the woman have the final say. However, what if this woman's mind can't be figured out by herself? What if the minds of these two men are also unpredictable? How to make someone who is indecisive move forward? And how to let the unforgettable person let go freely and easily? How to make a delicate balance between gain and loss? And they and she don't necessarily reveal their true thoughts, all we can see is her enigmatic eyes.
