I personally think that the purpose of this film is not the so-called post-war reflection, but to use the clearest sight of the war to identify the distinction between good and evil to arouse people's thinking about jurisprudence.
Natural law is a philosophy that asserts that certain rights, inherent in virtue of human nature, are conferred by nature (traditionally by God or a transcendental source), and that these rights are generally understood through human reason.
Because they are determined by nature, natural laws are considered objective and universal, existing independently of human understanding, and the statutes of a particular country, political order, legislature, or society as a whole
The behavior of the lawyers in the film is more of an action that goes beyond the existing legal provisions, that is, the simple justice based on intuition with reference to natural law
As a fledgling lawyer, while adhering to procedural justice (that is, desperately trying to defend a perpetrator who is considered a criminal, see Simpson's wife murder case), he also challenged the 1969 law, clarifying its lag, He also questioned whether the legal provisions in the film themselves only reflected the interests of the rulers.
As a country with a civil law system, German law should always abide by natural law, because it is the ideological basis of the entire science and the guiding principle of various specific laws and regulations, and it is higher than all human laws and human rights.
This idea of the natural equality of human beings is the essence of jurisprudence.
As a lawyer, he refuses to be the mouthpiece of big capital and patriarchy, refuses to be the legal rent-seeking object of big capital, and strictly abides by procedural justice and value rationality.
Because the male protagonist has always been aware of it.
Whether it's procedure or efficiency or law, if we can recognize the so-called rationality of short-term autocratic behavior for the sake of big changes in history, we have to recognize the rationality of longer-term autocratic behavior, because it may be more reasonable in a longer range ,
Finally we have to admit
For the development of mankind for a thousand years,
We have to endure a hundred years of tyranny,
For the development of mankind for 10,000 years,
We must suffer for a thousand years.
There is no distinguishable boundary between the long-term and the short-term, and the long-term consists of the short-term.
Talent is the purpose of everything.
Of course, although the truth is very good, the evil nature of human beings still exists. Movement is eternal, dragon is eternal, sometimes it is an unjust war, and sometimes it is the law of the vested interests.
