This is one of the movies I have watched this year, which I personally think is the best. The movie expresses a lot of profound meaning through a murder case.
First of all, a young lawyer is a novice lawyer with idealized justice and fairness in his heart, which is in sharp contrast with an old senior lawyer.
Second, the film expresses the conflicting relationship between jurisprudence and rationality. Jurisprudence, the defendant has intentional subjective consciousness, the crime of committing murder, the result of the crime of the victim's final death, and the defendant should be tried by law. But on the other hand, it is reasonable to say that the victim was a German Nazi officer in World War II. His hands were covered with the blood of innocent people, and he killed the defendant's father. When there was no way to appeal, the defendant committed murder and revenge. It seems excusable.
Furthermore, the film expresses the social and limited nature of law. The defendant's indictment against the victim was dismissed because of a German law from the 1960s, one of whose legislators was also a former Nazi officer. At the same time, restricted by factors such as the social environment at that time, the law could not be comprehensive, and even some "unjust" laws were formulated. But with the development of the times and the replacement of old and new things, the law will become more and more perfect.
Finally, the film critiques some of Germany's Nazi-era practices. The film shows the brutality of the Nazis through the shooting incident carried out by the Nazis in a small town in Italy, and this is also the cause of the case in this film, the motive of the accused's murder. World peace and social harmony are hard-won, and we should all cherish them.
