"I accuse", I don't want to say anything else, I just want to talk about the characters.
In fact, after looking at it, the protagonist does not feel very good among the several characters. The protagonist has acted in the Oscar film "The Artist" and won the best actor, and his acting skills are definitely no problem. Therefore, it is not the acting skills, but the characters.
In fact, there is a problem in writing such a character with a sense of justice, that is, whether his motivation to resist authority, his sense of justice, sense of mission, etc. can support the dramatic power of the entire film. The protagonist is a comedian, who often brings a sense of joy, which makes the protagonist's sense of martyrdom with an egg on a stone, but a sense of absurdity.
I feel that those low-level officers who obey the system and are rigid, but not villains are more real, and the fat man Henry is the most impressed. His perception of duty and his lines are the most impressive to me in the whole film. The gist is that the army asked me to shoot an officer, and I would shoot. As for being wrong, I would feel sorry for this person, but I would still Shooting, and then in the process, this person's efforts to maintain the false appearance is to maintain the dignity of the so-called army, and then he himself is not convinced, a very contradictory person, the duel scene, very absurd, but Henry's performance, and It is not absurd, it is the struggle of an insider in the system. Henry later suddenly admitted that he was a fake. The film did not describe it positively, but only gave him the result of a tragic suicide.
The most powerful thing is the ending. A person who insists on justice finally gets a promotion. Is this a victory of public opinion, but the person who is really wronged, the person who has been in prison for eight years, life just goes by like people say Yes, the dust of history falls on this person, and he is unlucky.
The protagonist insists on justice not because he sympathizes with the victims, but only because he insists on the truth. This is really remarkable.
