Since I can't really be on par with the director and the people who gave it four or five stars in terms of ideological height, I really can't think this is a particularly good movie. The realism of the film may be in place at some point, but it always feels too bland in my opinion. The film seems to be addressing the question of whether the death penalty should or should not exist. Some people think that the taxi driver molested girls and scare away small animals, which shows that this person has bad behavior, but this crime should not be killed, and he frightened a pampered dog wearing a sweater, and fed the roadside stray dogs with bread made by his wife, it can be seen that He's not someone who doesn't like animals. Looking at Jack, some people think that although he killed people, he has always loved his dead sister. It can be seen that there are still many bright spots in human nature. But no matter from the modus operandi or the useless performance when the death penalty was finally implemented, he is not a person who is indomitable. The sentimental lawyer has always believed that the criminal law cannot prevent crime, which is certainly true, but it does not mean that the criminal law is useless and avoids the death penalty. In fact, the death penalty must be given, the key lies in the ruling. The whole movie is actually about a young man who lost his younger sister and came to a big city. He was psychologically violent, but a timid unemployed man killed a taxi driver who was informal, sometimes rude and sometimes kind-hearted ( The two are alike in a way.) The sentimental lawyer feels sorry for the murderer again. I think this kind of story can be better expressed in novels, but I don't think it's a success if it's made into a movie.

The whole film is full of darkness, negativity, and a sense of death. Every character looks depressing, but will the over-exaggeration be the opposite?

Can the "justice" of the law save people? This is the question posed by the film. Kieslowski is a master of light, and like the other films I've seen, there is no auxiliary light source, and life takes on its original light and dark. The use of the green filter replaces the life force it should symbolize with the serenity leading to death while bringing in the "poetry of dust". Death is so gruesome because we live in a boring reality
