"The law is supreme, so what about mercy?" The film revolves around this question thrown at the end of the film. From the beginning, I wanted to end this seemingly solid and unquestionable case as soon as possible, and then went back to their respective homes. Later, I began to seriously think about the details of the entire case. Everyone told different experiences and simulated the scene of the crime over and over again. Those who started to vote "guilty" all touched the kindness and conscience in their hearts, and finally turned to vote "not guilty". It was a huge transformation, a life-defining one, and every member of the jury did their part.
However, what is even more shocking is the artist sitting at the table. At the beginning, not only the physicists were skeptical, but the artist knew better than anyone else. It seemed that the evidence was complete, but in fact, there were many flaws. The little boy could not be the murderer, it must have been a trap set by someone. But why he still voted "guilty", and in the end everyone voted "not guilty" he still has the same idea. If the other jurors had a conscience, the artist should be called great. Because he knew that the little boy had no relatives and was homeless. Since he was framed and imprisoned, it would be dangerous to go out "not guilty". The person who framed him would definitely find a way to kill him again, but it would be safer to stay in prison. Catch the real murderer and let the little boy out of prison. If you want to find the murderer, you need to hire a lawyer, you need to find evidence, and you need to spend a lot of time and money, but everyone is really busy, and no one wants to pay so much for someone they don't know. In fact, they have done what they should have done and done their due diligence, otherwise the little boy may live in prison forever.
But greatness is often a step further than conscientiousness. The little boy who was released from prison, facing the danger of being framed again, the artist took the risk and took on the safety of the little boy. Just like the German movie "Eavesdropping Storm", it is great to make such a big sacrifice for a person who has nothing to do with him.
"The law is supreme, so what about kindness?" The
law is indeed supreme, and it can determine a person's life. It is also a double-edged sword. The law is used to punish the wicked, and it is also used by the wicked to frame others. And it is kindness, it is the conscience deep inside, that gives the law the meaning it should have.
