legal dilemma

Death Sentence, the Chinese translation reflects the meaning of extrajudicial sanctions, and directly puts this issue out. This problem is insoluble in class society. The existence of the law is itself a problem. Solving problems with problems will only get you into trouble. In the end, the movie doesn't really reveal the root cause of what happened, let alone the solution. The black policewoman has been telling the truth from the perspective of God that everyone knows but does not want to admit. At the beginning of the movie, a family of four living a very happy life shows a sense of unease. Then within half an hour, the eldest son's throat was cut, the murderer was identified, the court went through a cutscene, and the father killed the murderer to complete his revenge. It can be said that it is completely different from the usual Hollywood routine. Next, the gang seeks revenge, and another gangster is killed in the parking lot. The gang besieged the protagonist's family, and all three were shot. Up to here, there is no routine at all, but a very realistic random chaos. It was only in the second half hour that the male protagonist survived, fought against gangsters, and fell into the routine of opening, hanging, and destroying. Although the last half hour was lively, I was not nervous at all and knew what the outcome would be. Fortunately, the male protagonist looked like an amateur and nervous from beginning to end. After a sharp look, he did not turn into a professional agent. The scene of the final duel with the villain is not gorgeous at all, it is as thin, embarrassing, and even a little embarrassing like a fight in reality. The survival of the youngest son is also a routine comfort, which is somewhat of a hope. For the first hour of the movie, where I personally feel like it succeeds is the real chaos. The male protagonist's revenge is an unplanned impulsive murder, not what the general audience thinks: if it were me, I would arrange my wife and young son first, and then find an opportunity to kill the gangsters one by one, and engage in a high-IQ reaction. Kill, and finally retreat. People who think this way can basically be summed up in one sentence: watching too many movies. The reality is far from being as simple as the movie, and even this movie is an idealized model, full of deliberate successes and coincidences.
