I watched this movie on the recommendation of a legal professional ethics teacher, and I always felt that it was a movie whose content was inconsistent with the title, The Children Act, but it was not discussing a child-centered value ethics. It is more about the professional ethics of judges and the salvation of the soul.
Personally, lady is an excellent and rational judge, even in Adam's case. Although her family and personal life are so messy, she can calm down and answer the assistant's call when arguing with her husband, and arrange everything quickly. It can be seen that she is a powerful woman, and this is how she is an independent strong woman in her heart. ! It's also part of her personality.
In the opening case, I very much agree with a sentence, This is court is a court of law, not of morals. This is the excellent and correct thinking of a qualified judge. But, later, Fiona herself violated and became the lead in Adam's case. She could have been a direct judge, but the only time she strayed into Adam's life. He asked her, what did you want from me? Yes, Fiona had a plan. On the surface, the judge went to the hospital to better understand the true wishes of the client in order to make an appropriate judgment. But behind this, she was influenced by her own emotions. She was looking for a breakthrough, looking for the redemption of a soul (hahahaha that's how I feel, I don't know what I'm writing about), if it's rational as always , I don't think she would have made such a decision. Personally, I believe that this violates her professional ethics as a judge. (This is really a boring verdict woohoo woohoo)
There is not much insight into Adam's beliefs. I feel that after he lost his belief, Fiona became his belief. (One thing to say, My lady is really too charming, who wouldn't love him!!!) When he was young, his beliefs were shattered one after another. It was really sad and confused. It also brought back memories of the swampy world of adolescence thought, somehow crawling out of it. Probably because of the pull of real life, although I am lacking in spirit, I live in the real world, like most people. Therefore, Adam is also lucky. He died for his beliefs, which is probably something I will never achieve in my life.
In the end, I don't think Adam and Fiona are in love, they are mutual redemption. If the boy is still in the world, maybe the two will never be in touch and meet again, but they will always remember each other and be grateful.
Last but not least, Fiona is awesome!
