Germany is a rigorous and rational country ruled by law. After the war, it also carried out deep introspection and accountability on the history of the Nazis. However, the "Dreyer Act" passed in 1968 justified the Nazi war criminals and was a stain on its fair legal order. It was not the Germans themselves, but the Turkish lawyers who uncovered this historical scar, reflecting the acceptance and recognition of the integration of Turkish immigrants into the mainstream society in Germany. What is thought-provoking is also thinking about legal justice. If the law loses justice, is it still the legal order we want to maintain?

The movie was really good, and the first half an hour was completely useless, but the truth of history is still shocking. I feel that I can't watch World War II movies now, and I'm crying after watching one movie. The male lead is really good. I don't know how many Jewish descendants have lived under the shadow of grief and resentment all their lives. Hans was so handsome when he was young, he almost couldn't hate him. An actor couldn't choose such a handsome one.

Some of the coincidences designed for the progression of the plot are slightly stronger, but in general, this film can still be called shocking. The plaintiff's lawyer is a character who could have developed into a villain, but in the end he solemnly admitted the injustice of the law in court, showing that the strong moral reflection pre-implanted in the filming even surpassed the drama itself. And this moral reflection is great.

The characterization of the murdered is not unexpected, but it goes beyond the stereotype of the genre film and enhances the dramatic depth of the film, which is the second highlight.

The film is based on real events, and it is unknown if the prototype is also a young lawyer of Turkish descent. If not, it is a little political correctness, but the identity itself is a little tasteless on both the left and the right.
