This is a dual character homicide. The handsome old Richard Gere plays the barrister Will, a former justice prosecutor who resigned angrily and became a lawyer because he encountered all kinds of injustices that violated his principles. He fights lawsuits for gangsters, he fights lawsuits for murderers, he doesn't care about facts, he doesn't care about justice or injustice, he just wants to win lawsuits.
However, as the matter evolved, the lawyer gradually discovered that the murdered bishop was not as kind and great as he saw, but played with money and power in the name of charity, and abused the choir boy to satisfy his selfish desires. And his client, the choir boy Allen played by Edward Norton, was abused by his biological father as a child, and then abused by the bishop who saved him from starvation and cold, splitting into another Groy. Alan is weak, timid and kind like a little white rabbit, while Roy is furious and cruel. The justice in the lawyer's heart gradually awakened as the facts were revealed. The rival prosecutor was his ex-girlfriend. He chose to uphold justice, even if he had to sacrifice the bishop's true face and confrontation with his superiors. own future.
Originally, the male and female protagonists were handsome and beautiful, and they had positive images. Unfortunately, the male supporting cast in this film was too good. They could switch between the weak Allen and the fierce Roy, and even deceived everyone until the last moment. , after being freed from prison, reveals the chilling truth: there has never been Alan, only Roy. Edward Norton's last smile won him numerous awards, and he has since entered the forefront of acting.
But I kept thinking, in fact, Allen still existed. But, at some point, it disappeared. Alan represents goodness. He was abused by his father and the bishop, but he still worked in the choir, read hard, fell in love with a girl, until the good was overwhelmed by evil, and Roy's character dominated. The knife stabbed the bishop, and at about that moment, Allen disappeared. Roy represents evil, and his evil is not only violent murder, but also the evil that pretends to be good under the cloak of Allen. But this kind of evil of Roy is not innate, but forced to arise after being abused by evil for a long time, after the good in human nature has been completely destroyed. Therefore, the ultimate fear is not that the murderer is not punished, but that under the influence of so much evil, so much injustice, and so much pain in the world, the goodness of human nature has been wiped out, leaving only Evil, this is the first degree of fear.
