This is a tragedy! A complete tragedy! The tragedy of a family, even a class! Under this system, as long as you still have some conscience, just as your father said, "If you don't have compassion, you are no different from beasts." .
Sansho is certainly a ruthless character, but the high priest who seems to be kind but is fierce in his bones is even more heart-pounding. In this film, the only thing the people at the bottom can rely on is the personal behavior of the chef king, which is equivalent to the "Dream of Honest Officials" that has always been sung in China, but it is very ironic that the legal system of those honest officials is very easy to be trampled on. At the feet of the dog's legs of the beneficiaries!
There have been nearly 170,000 domestic duty crimes in just three years. The official summary of the main reasons for the crime is still the lack of personal morality, which has not risen to the height of the system. But in fact, such a large number, involving so many people and such a wide range of ranks, I think the problem is not just a moral problem. Faced with this situation, is moral construction necessary? Of course it is necessary.
The question is: Can moral construction replace institutional reform?
I hope that in reality there are as few tragedies as possible under the system.
