In this movie, the judge said such a passage after dismissing the defense, and he always felt that the passage had no deep meaning. The movie was first broadcast in 2000, and nearly 20 years have passed. This sentence is so applicable to China's national conditions.
The complete statement is like this:
Pacific Power Company (PG&E) not only used a carcinogen hexavalent chromium to poison the residents of small towns to save money and make money, and eat human blood steamed buns. What's more shameless is that the company also issued a brochure to tell the locals The residents of, hexavalent chromium is good for the body, to fool the residents.
In this way, let them feel that they are living happily, blinding them, and hiring specialized doctors to cover up their true illness, so that these residents can live in the illusion of happiness created by the company for them, so that they simply Not aware of the health threats and murderous opportunities lurking within close proximity.
I think this is what makes the judge even more angry.
A person does not have a basic right to know his own living environment. The information we have learned has been carefully selected and adapted, like buckets of pig feed, coaxed to force it down.
Living in such an environment full of lies, we may not know the cause of our death until we die. When I was forty years old, my spine had degenerated, I had fever all the year round, and my breathing was troublesome. My partner, her uterus and breasts Carcinogenesis, the doctor will cut off the most basic parts of her two women. My children have played in poisonous water since they were young, and my son died of thymic cancer when he was sixteen. My daughter was twenty-six. I have to take off my womb, and for all of this, I don’t know why, I don’t know until I die, I have been living in an illusion, I have been fooled by others, and living like this, there is any quality of life. Speak?
Why am I so impressed by the judge's words,
Americans do not directly call the judge "judge", but call him "your honor". Because the judge is not just a position, the judge also represents the glory and dignity of the law. If the judge's judgment cannot be impartial, how can there be any dignity in the law?
More importantly, the judge said that his own residence was not far from the contaminated area. This sentence also pulled the judge from the upper court to his life. In his position, especially in important positions related to civil rights and people's livelihood, he actually used power for personal gain and did not exercise his conscience to deal with it impartially. That is basically tantamount to digging his own grave, and the victim is always himself.
"Everyone is actually a whole. The misfortune of others is your misfortune. Don't think that the death knell is sounded for whom, it is for you."
But some people just don't understand this truth. Maybe they don't have much feelings for this land. After soiling this land, they can buy a plane ticket and go to another country that looks cleaner.
There is a saying that often appears at the top of some Weibo comments, "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent."
This sentence is quite right. However, the arrival of justice is not only "people who seek the truth, people who think independently, people who record the truth, people who pay for this land regardless of interest, people who defend their constitutional rights, know the world and People who are not perfect but still do not speak weak, do not give up",
It is even more necessary to have judges like the above who can defend and protect the dignity of the law with their original intentions. Only then will justice be guaranteed, more courageous, and not absent.
