(The short review actually exceeds the number of words hhh) The Russian version of the remake is based on the background of the two Chechen wars, so in addition to continuing the jury shots of the American version, it also added a lot of post-war bloody scenes, which made people feel chills down their spines. The US version is only 96 minutes long, while the Russian version is about 150 minutes long. Director Mikhalkov not only adapted the film with Russian characteristics, but also deepened the theme. The first half of the film mainly describes "human nature". The members of the jury initially planned to unanimously pass "guilty" and made a hasty decision. Later, due to the engineer's one vote "not guilty", they carefully reasoned and analyzed the details of the case. The Chechen boy was found innocent. The second half of the film is really a turning point. The leader of the jury (that is, Director Mi) suddenly said that he still thinks the boy is "guilty" because although the boy is innocent, there are enemies staring at him outside, boy. The prison is safer for the time being, during which time a jury is needed to help the boy out of trouble. At this time, the theme of the film is no longer a single issue of human nature, but also involves "responsibility" (for the jury), "freedom or survival" (for the boy). At the end, a sparrow in the house flew to the world outside the window where the snow was falling. Although it was destined to freeze to death, it chose freedom; a hyena, holding a corpse, ran on the dilapidated street... Attachment: This The actors' acting skills are outstanding, and I saw two or three familiar faces. Classic lines: "Why do you always laugh, because you are full of fear of being serious."
