whole story is based on a case. Some people may say that the theme is the love of the hero and heroine. I don't think so. In my opinion, the whole movie still takes the case as the main line and the times as the background, and integrates the feelings between people.
After reading it, what I feel the most is that the legal system and politics of a country, because the legal system is not perfect, can allow the murderer to go unpunished; because of dirty politics, justice can be reduced to a joke. Although I have often said that once success is complete, all the bones will die, and there will be sacrifices to win, etc., but in the process of pursuing truth and justice, if you can really do whatever you want, you will get it in the end. How is the result different from the darkness you were originally opposed to.
The first climax of the film comes during the interrogation of a criminal, when Irene provokes Gómez to reveal his true colors, which is wonderful. The emotions of the audience are also lifted at this time, the case can be closed, and the victims can be impartial, so that everyone can put an end to themselves.
However, the plot obviously will not end. Because of the political situation, the rapist and murderer was released, with grief, disappointment, and coldness. This also made the victim's husband completely desperate. Since there is no justice in this world, let me execute it with my own hands.
I believe that Benjamin is ready to make a confession, but the result of this case and the death of his colleague made him feel powerless. He didn’t even have the ability to maintain justice, protect his friends and himself, and had no time to resist in the face of darkness. How can a man have the courage to express his love.
For 25 years, everyone was alive except that alcoholic colleague.
The victim's husband alive by memories and hatred, the murderer not see the light off in the silent world to accept his evil punishment
Benjamin has been haunted by him in this case, the dead colleagues, love Irene
Irene, have children, have Family and career, but my heart stopped at the train platform 25 years ago and never went out.
At the end of the film, after Benjamin knew the truth of the murderer being locked up, he was relieved, and he really had the courage to express this love that had been delayed for 25 years.
In fact, I think what Benjamin has been able to let go of is the guilt of justice in his heart. Although it is not his reason or his ability, the sense of justice in his heart has kept him from letting go of his guilt towards himself and his victims. Benjamin is an upright person, and it is because of this integrity that he becomes apologetic in the face of love. Such a man is actually quite nice.
For me, there is a tear in the film, when Benjamin found the victim's husband's house 25 years later, and saw the framed picture of the victim's wife on the shelf. At that moment, it was very uncomfortable. The husband of the victim, who seemed to be very calm and calm, God knows how he survived 25 years after losing his wife. This is far more painful than howling and crying. Supporting him is the slowly fading memory, and the hatred of the murderer in private prison. Either way, it's pain and suffering.
Good movie, worth watching, ready to see the US version.
