Polanski's new work "I Complain" has been in constant turmoil since the 2019 Venice Awards. This turmoil has formed a storm during the 2020 Caesars Awards, and film critics have finally moved away from female protests, judges resigned, and on-site guests retired. I found the excitement of their topic and started the tireless road of gossip. In many commentary articles, the commenters are committed to crime, and they are all morals. They really work hard and say hard work. You know, before this shock, everyone's topic of discussion about this film was only the "Dreyfus" incident, Zola's article, and the old story of the murder of Polanski's wife (of course, this old story is in everyone's comments "" It has been used to the extreme in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"), it can be said that the sense of justice in history is small, and it is great to mobilize people's emotions. Just flipping through the title of the film review, I can hear the roars in the hearts of all the gentlemen, everyone, let's quarrel ~Go to judge him~Chong duck~!
The incitement of these media really made me respect the sharp performance in Polanski's film. The manic and climax of the film's opening makes people panic. Although the target of the crowd's criticism has changed, the words remain the same. , isn't this all due to the instigation of "standing in line"? (The discussion about this film has gone beyond the film itself, saying that the film is good, supporting the film to win an award = supporting the rapist)
It is true that in view of the events in which Polanski was caught in the vortex, there were naturally many women among those who attacked him. When the girls blew the horn of feminism, they criticized Polanski, thinking that his film was to whitewash himself and ignore it. When I complained about this movie, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked from the bottom of my heart, friend, have you watched the movie? ? Although it is a branch point of view, the light, bright and romantic view of independent love is worth having! I don't know if you got it yet?
"My love, body, and marriage are in my own hands~!" In the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere of the film, Mrs. Monnier brought sunshine all over the world as soon as she appeared on the stage. As soon as he opened his mouth, he relieved his lover.
When her lover brought up the issue of fake marriage, Mrs. Monnier was firm. She knew exactly who she was going to marry, and under what circumstances she would choose marriage. She was confident and indifferent.
Do unto others, do not impose on others. At the moment when Picard was anxious about the case, Mrs. Monnier once again stated that the disloyal me has never thought of having a loyal you. This position is really out of touch with contemporary feudal white lotus.
When Picard was in prison and Mrs. Monnier was caught in a divorce storm, she could afford it and let it go, without complaining about others, without a pitiful posture, and be responsible for her love, come, let us The righteous Mrs. Monnier applauds??
When Picard was winning his reputation and restoring his glory, he proposed to Madame Monnier. And how does our love girl respond? She happily refused without any hesitation.
Mrs. Monnier, what a lovely woman! Men cry for power, justice, truth, and they care about winning or losing, right or wrong. And only she cares about a person who has been imprisoned for five years, a person who has not seen her child for five years. Mrs. Monnier is probably the only character in the film who takes a "human" perspective, as one person cares about another person's existence.
Is the female character Mrs. Monnier particularly endearing? Well, let's clear up our minds, put aside the gossip and lace news, and concentrate on watching the movie.
Polanski has mainly won two awards through "I Indict", one is the Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, and the second is the Best Director Award at the Caesars Film Festival. Both awards signified the jury's recognition of Polanski's directing skills. What can the director be sure about in this film? Three-dimensional character building, clear and effective story structure, and precise control of the picture may require a lot of time and effort for ordinary directors, but for Polanski (1962 Virgo "Knife in the Water", namely "Knife in the Water") Famous Venice), this is really the most basic question to send points.
Could Polanski be content with that? of course not. This is a discussion of justice, allegorical and ironic. In constant questioning, he peels away the paradox of truth.
The first 30 minutes of the film unfold at breakneck speed with the Dreyfus trial, Picard taking office and discovering new suspects in his position. From the 30th minute, Picard began his detective journey, and for the next 90 minutes, he went all the way to find out Dreyfus' grievances from the investigation of who betrayed the country, and he was in charge of the officers. After reporting the truth, he was politically attacked, and he decided to make the truth public and protected by a large number of high-end people, and finally improved his political status. On the other hand, Dreyfus, in the end, only got some justice, but he did not gain a reputation among the people like Picard, and he was a success in his career.
In the 30th minute, the starting location of the case took place among two key sculptures, one of which is Artemis, and the other is Apollo vs. Python. The subsequent development of justice in the film, like the fables behind the two statues, is full of struggle and forgetting.

In other words, Apollo is relatively well-recognized by the whole people. He is a well-known god of light and prophecy, and is widely known by the toiling public. Apollo's sister Artemis is the god of hunting, driving a little golden deer happily to play (the lesser known name, maybe because the name is difficult to remember...). And their mother, Leto, is really not well-known. The most glorious moment in the myth is when it is mentioned that his son fought against the python skin to avenge himself. Of course, the name Leto also has the meaning of "forgetting" and "secret".
To put it simply, the story of the three mother and son is that the mother Leto was pregnant with Zeus's child, and after being discovered by Zeus's daughter-in-law Hera (Hera is the queen of heaven, she shares the control of the universe with Zeus), Leto was forbidden to produce on the land. , and forbids all gods to help her, not only that, but also sent the python skin to go to chase and kill, with the help of the sea god Poseidon and his sister Asteria, Leto fled all the way to the floating island and gave birth to Apo The Luo brothers and sisters returned to the city-state. After Apollo was born, knowing that his mother had suffered so much, he hated it so much that he carried his little golden arrow and went to Pitong's cave to kill him. Apollo won the first battle, sang the triumphant song of victory, built a temple, and spread the prophecy of Zeus to the world. Leto completed the mission of producing two children and disappeared into the vast mythology.
part about the movie
Dreyfus-Leto, the culprit who was hunted down, had nowhere to live in exile on the island, supported by his will, he was burdened with a fate, and this fate was not only a spirit to justify his own name, but only through him, To make a new star - Picard rising, without Dreyfus, there would be no Picard, he is the gestation of "heroes", after completing his mission, he loses its meaning and of course can't get more , justice in his eyes.
The accused - Pi Tong, why did the accused do evil? What they are after is what is right within the system. Just like Pi Tong, they obeyed the orders of Hera, the queen of supreme power, and pursued them all the way. Even if they were ignorant and loyal, they would not repent. They would not question or think. What they maintain is the correct execution of orders.
The accusers (supporters of the struggle) - Poseidon/Asteria , political activists, intellectuals and Jews, etc., like Poseidon and Leto's sister, for the purpose of protecting Dreyfus, Assisted Picard. They dared to fight, said no to the system, and gave all their skills, time and money, even if they let go of the estrangement between rivals.
Picard-Apollo, a man who never jumped out of the system, his starting point was not to clear up Dreyfus' grievances, he never wanted to hold high the flag of race, he always believed in the justice within the system, he believed that he was Yes, he firmly believes in the justice within the system. When he gains power, he becomes the spokesman of power. Initially, when he discovered that there was something wrong with the Dreyfus case, he reported the problem layer by layer, obeying the orders of the generals, and had no intention of protesting or fighting for Jewish rights.
In Dreyfus's retrial court, he showed his loyalty again: exposing the problems of the case and clarifying Dreyfus' innocence, these are all due diligence under professional premise.
Picard never really exchanged fire with the top of the power. His two wars were all internal struggles within the organization. One was to stab the "weapon" who obeyed the order, and the other time he beat the internal traitors. These two revenge-like scenes, deduced Pi Tong is doomed to death.
Of course Dreyfus will retire from the stage of history, and Picard will naturally not have more contacts with him. As the saying goes, it is easy to be rich and difficult to be poor, and the fate of being tied together because of struggle for interests can be supported by each other for a long time?
When I see this, I really want to sigh, justice and truth are so relative and limited. It's normal for this film to win best director, but then again, where did Hera go?
