"If you don't release people right away, I'll call Wallace from 60 Minutes and ask him why someone can ignore the Fourth Amendment?!"
- "Richard Jewell's Lament"
When the name "60 Minutes" Wallace appeared on the screen, there were several rustling laughter in the theater. "America's Wallace, I don't know how taller than you are." Obviously the audience below the stage should be familiar with this sentence.
Compared to the plot of the movie, this sentence seems more meaningful. "Richard Jewell's Lament" tells the story of a heroic security guard who saved the lives of many tourists because he was the first to discover the bomb backpack left by the terrorists, but was arrested by the FBI and a tea bitch reporter because of his occupancy. "Framed" has become a key suspect. Then overnight from a hero to become a "criminal" condemned by the whole people.
However, various details show that the 89-year-old Dongmu teacher obviously did not just want to tell a simple story of public opinion trial. His rambles are still the basic values advocated and upheld by the sages of the "lighthouse country" on the other side of the ocean.
Teacher Eastwood is 89 years old, the age of theoretical death. Three years after the release of "Captain Sully", he came up with this "Richard Jewell". It is also an adaptation of real events, and it is also a plot of hero flipping, but this time there is more to be expressed.
For example: When the FBI tried to interrogate Jewell, it had to make up a lie about making a documentary and try to get Jewell to sign it. Because Miranda warned that the police should not force the suspect to testify against himself during the interrogation, that is, the principle of the right to silence and the presumption of innocence, as well as the right to hire a lawyer to defend. Apparently they wanted to get around this rule, but Jewell, who had learned legal common sense, saw through it.
When the police wanted to search the door, Jewell of the Rifle Association took out all kinds of "killing weapons" in his collection from the bedroom. Although this is not conducive to his removal of suspicion, Jewell is still full of pride. Because this is Georgia, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be violated.
There are so many of these...
In Dirty Harry, 41-year-old Clint Eastwood believes that justice lies in his 44mm police gun. However, the criminals caught after untold hardships were directly released due to procedural violations. The prosecutor lashed out at him and asked him to be worse than a police officer, leaving the Miranda principle behind. The young teacher Dongmu was not convinced. At the end of the film, after he had raped the kidnapper with a high IQ, he threw away his police badge dashingly.
Time flies, and the 89-year-old Dongmu teacher has long ceased to be obsessed with the hail of bullets in the Westerns. He put down his revolver and put down his heroism of being competitive. Through intentional or unintentional exposure of the American flag and the Department of Justice logo in the film, the audience is conveyed over and over again what values should be adhered to behind those symbols.
Many people say that one of the film's failures is how the tea bitch reporter who sold her body in exchange for insider broke tears at the press conference of the victim's mother. Perhaps Mr. Dongmu did not believe in the tea bitch reporter in the play, but the existence of the media as the fourth power is still an indispensable part of the healthy development of American society. He still believes that the Fourth Amendment's right to freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures of people's persons, homes, papers, and property requires public media oversight. The First Amendment to the Constitution states: Congress shall not make laws to deny freedom of speech and the press. Because of this, when the FBI tried to deceive the protagonist and make him give up his legal rights, an incompetent little lawyer just said a word and I called Wallace, and the powerful violent agency had to let Jewell. out of the interrogation room.
It is undeniable that no one loves America more than Mr. Dongmu (at least on the screen), and no one can stick to the values laid down by this land at the beginning of the country: freedom, justice and law. As the saying goes, if you never forget, there will be echoes. I hope we can still see Mr. Dongmu's ramble on the screen next year.
(There are few films and the box office is terrible. If you have a holiday in advance, you should try your best to support it. The plot is not as boring and serious as you imagined.)
