"You shall not have other gods; you shall not make idols for yourself, and you shall not bow down to those images; you shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy; honor your father and your mother; you shall not murder; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness. Fraud; do not covet your lover's house, wife, servants, ox and donkey, and all that he has."

The Fifth Commandment: Murder shall
not murder.
Thou shalt not kill.
Yazek's very dear sister, was run over to death by a driver who had just finished drinking with him one night. The death of his sister makes Yazek decide to kill a man to get revenge. Yazek's defense lawyer was a young man who had just graduated. After listening to Yazek's description of the motive for the murder, he was puzzled. How difficult it is to judge accidental cases arising from personal temperament with abstract legal knowledge! The young lawyer despaired of a fair justice system while watching Yazek hanged.
The day Yazek decided to kill, happened to be the day when the young lawyer was promoted to a lawyer after 4 years of study and 4 years of practice. He said to the examiner: Some people think the current legal system is too harsh, but I don't. Look, since Cain committed the first murder, no punishment has ever made human beings truly repent and stay away from sin.
This sentence is the most shocking sentence in the movie. Cain, the son of Adam, the ancestor of mankind, killed his own brother Abel because of jealousy. This is the first murder we know of in history, but this is not the original sin. Original sin is known to all. Cain's mother Eve could not resist temptation and stole the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Since then, there has been an insurmountable gulf between man and God. God has used many methods to hope that mankind will be reconciled with him, and even punished the mankind he loves with all kinds of torture. As a result, as the young lawyer said, no punishment can completely wake up human beings. So God sent Jesus Christ to bear all the sins of mankind with his perfect body, and to influence the stubborn mankind through the education of love.
God has not yet succeeded completely, and we have failed from the beginning.
A lawyer who thinks that any punishment is not enough to punish evil, in the first lawsuit of his life, his head was beaten with blood, and it was not that he lost the debate, but the justice of justice that broke him in the end. sex. While he believes that punishment cannot bring back the good side of human nature, he finds that the law makes the last remnants of human nature annihilated. The true feelings and struggles of people's hearts are of no importance at all. As long as you kill people, you must be hanged alive.
Law, like morality, can never judge all people fairly.
