Law is not worth mentioning, human nature is not worth mentioning

I often think about what the law is, laws and principles. It regulates people, guides people, but binds people. The law and countless moral standards are all about maintaining a kind of stability and balance. We draw from history and blood, but new blood is pouring in, and the old wheels of history are worn and continue to tumble forward, revealing new tissue and skin that has been pulled apart. There are no conjectures, just opinions, reserved or unreserved. In this way, science is more humble.

They, all of them, are being torn apart by law and humanity. My Lady did not dare to face her own heart, and the drastic and resolute judgment of various bills did not apply to her in marriage. She wanted to judge her marriage, like a job, but Jack's departure made her realize her vulnerability and loneliness, like a BBC radio at 4am. However, she just doesn't say it. She expresses herself with toughness and hides herself with actions. The fragility is terrible. I thought May was hesitant to visit Adam in the hospital, until Adam said that the judge will rule to treat minors. What's your purpose in going to the hospital, My Lady, to get rid of those chattering lawyers, or to get some fresh air out of this boring, lifeless life? I don't know anything about human nature. When I stand in God's perspective to judge, God disappears. However, the law is tangled, and human nature cannot stand such a trial.

After reading the introduction of the film, I thought it would be a [political correctness film] that promotes the legal process, but after knowing that it was an adaptation of the work of the author of atonement, I understood that it was another tangled film.

All emotions are just the tip of the iceberg, and you can't burst out of repression. Adam is like this. Whenever he gets excited, my lady will signal him to calm down. This may be a peculiar British style. Jack is like this. In May's eyes, his anger is just irresponsible for his own emotions. And Adam's parents, all we see are tears and silent whimpering. This is order. We do not understand her, but we must execute her. What about human nature?

    Controversies and collisions between law and ethics, religious beliefs, and human rights are the biggest highlights of this film. Unfortunately, these clips are only additional products that serve the advancement of the story.

    In the battle between love and law, the female judge's inner journey has a thrilling feeling. I played "Dunkirk", why Phine Whitehead hasn't become popular yet, 18 years old, terminally ill, year-end love, this kind of role buff is so addictive...

The Children Act quotes

  • Jack Maye: Look, you wanna live like this? Fine. I don't. I'm going to have this affair.

    Fiona Maye: And a divorce and the child I've failed to give you?

    Jack Maye: No. No divorce, no deception, no lies. I love you and we're meant to be together but... look, I could have gone behind your back.

    Fiona Maye: Oh, how very kind. I can't believe how cool we are. Open marriage. The time to suggest that, Jack, was before the wedding, not twenty years afterwards.

  • Jack Maye: [about marital sex] Don't you miss it, Fi? Or is it just because you don't want it, I can't have it? Is that the deal?
