In fact, I personally think that the most important question is how can there be such a long-term power imbalance in a democratic country?
How can the two greatest powers in daily life, the administration and the judiciary, come together to cover the sky with one hand?
On what basis does the justice represented by Nacimento overcome evil?
He does not rely on the system, not on the support of the public (such as voting, protest marches) and other legal and irresistible forces of evil, but on personal ability, a few upright people, and support similar to private armed forces . Relying on individual heroism to defeat a well-organized evil force is obviously not a long-term solution.
Is this a reversal of the forces of good and evil?
It stands to reason that the evil side is the side that always likes to take advantage of loopholes, right? But now it has become the dominant side of swagger.
Forget about other upright government officials, just talk about the most important weight in the balance of righteousness and evil - the people, what are they doing at this time?
Although the people do not support him, he can be elected. But election, which seems to determine fairness and justice, is actually no different from the representation system in the face of the easily induced "rabble crowd".
(Note: My “rabble crowd” refers to the broad audience in mass media, and has no derogatory meaning.)
This requires the news media to do a good job of revealing the truth and supervising reporting, rather than obeying orders to guide public opinion towards such things. things that go against the principle.
This requires the people to give full support to the news media, making them truly uncrowned kings, and making them dare to say "no" to the government.
For example, as long as any government dares to persecute the media at will, the media can appeal through the independent judicial system, and after fully presenting the facts, if the government is perfunctory, the people will elect him!
If the people had been pressuring the government over the murder of the female reporter, corrupt officials would not have been so rampant all the time.
This may not be the separation of the three powers of administration, judiciary, and legislation, and the fourth power of the procuratorate needs to be added.
Of course, as said at the end of the movie, there is a long way to go to solve these problems. It cannot be explained in a few hundred words. It will take several generations to work hard for a long time.
Don't say that this is just a movie, in fact, it often happens to you and me. It's just that there is no shooting, and it is replaced by the form of boiling frogs in warm water, such as high taxes and low welfare, forced demolition and forced rush, and resource monopoly.
