David is a tenured professor at the university. There are only two possibilities to make him lose his lifelong professor qualification. One is academic fraud, and the other is having sex with female students.
This means that whether David is drunk or sober, whether it is rape or adultery, he cannot have sex with his schoolgirl.
To enjoy the privilege of a professor, to have a family and children, you must control your own lower body.
Unable to resist the beauty of his schoolgirl, David deceives himself by being drunk and has sex with the schoolgirl. And you can't fake female students and let them complete their studies. Typical prostitutes don't want to give money, they just want to gain, not pay. He knew very well the consequences of having sex with a female student, but he did it anyway, just to enjoy absolute unfettered "freedom" and the "pleasure" of authority being trampled on. Of course he broke the law and was quickly punished, expelled from college, separated from his wife and son, notorious and could not find any decent work.
After his career as a university professor, not only did he not honestly work as a delivery man, reflect on his sins, and spend his life repenting, but he felt that he was discriminated and oppressed by society, so he wanted to laugh at the law.
He devised a conspiracy, challenged the law, and abolished the death penalty, not because he wanted to really abolish the death penalty, but to prove that he was a "superman" capable of being above everything else.
From his televised debate, he took advantage of the asymmetry of knowledge to discredit the state legislator and completely bleak the future of an innocent person. His purpose was to show himself different, and he did not consider the harm to others at all.
It can be seen that this person has an unsound personality. He has to challenge authority everywhere and has no awareness of thinking about others. Can such a person really seek welfare for the ordinary person he regards as "mentally handicapped"? For the female student he slept with, why did he ever think of using his little privilege to graduate to others? For the female reporter who was deceived by him, did he ever care about the dignity of a person who he played as a monkey? The female professor he designed to be suffocated to death, when he saw his partner die in agony in front of him, when did he show any mercy? In order to prove that he is the so-called "superman", he can even take his own life, and he still cares about others?
He's not superman, just a naughty kid doing weird moves trying to show he's different, greatness and sacrifice he doesn't understand and can't get.
In any art, connotation is always more important than form.
