Not Guilty Murder: The Coligny Case is actually very good to read literally. A case related to "Corinny".
The official introduction to the movie is actually very easy to understand. Start a secret room murder case. Colinny, an honest auto worker, killed Mr. Mai, the domineering president who had no social relations with him, in a luxury hotel. Then the lawyer assigned to Colinny is still a novice. More importantly, this novice lawyer has been funded and taken care of by Mr. Mai since he was a child. Even his first love is Mr. Mai's granddaughter. And the criminal defense lawyer in this case, that is, the opponent of the little lawyer, is also the teacher of the little lawyer himself. The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and the situation was already in such a precarious situation. Colinny faced his defender, the miserable little lawyer, silently, refusing to say a word. In this bad situation, the little lawyer did not give up. Moreover, with the deepening of the investigation, the truth involved not only Colinny and Mr. Mai, but also the truth involving the entire German law.
And what is Colinny? Before looking at it I thought it was a place. When I first watched it, I thought he was alone. And after reading it, I think he represents a vision.
The story of "The Coligny Case" is smooth and tight. Like a big hand, it grabs you and leads you into the depths of the case. He won't have a space for you to think "how long is it not over yet?". Every clue and content is just right. Although the classification is written as drama/thriller/crime, the tightly-knitted plot of "The Colinny Case" is wrapped in the glittering human nature struggling and shimmering.
Like Persian Lessons, which was released not long ago, this film is based on a true story of the war, and it also makes reference to the Nazis. Officer in Persian class, nice to Giles. But he was also murderous. So is he good or bad? Mr. Mai in "The Colinny Case" is actually a character that is both good and evil. Perhaps due to the frivolity in his early years and the situation during the war, he made too many mistakes. When he got older, he chose to do a lot of good things to make up for the mistakes he made when he was young. Like taking care of our little lawyers, like being respected in the industry. But the boat is done, the mistakes made during the war are irreversible, and no amount of good deeds can be undone. After all, war can destroy too much.
And the scenes thrown out in the finale also made people feel sour and empathetic from the bottom of their hearts. I can't stop trying to figure out what those people who hide behind the characters on the screen, the people in the real stories, in what was once a real situation, are really monologues in their hearts.
Is that the hard-to-find P38 pistol? Is it the question of the novice lawyer's powerful phrase "Is that just?"? Should the defense lawyer finally sue Mr. Mai for the sentence "Yes" when faced with a novice lawyer? Or is it the intriguing sentence "This is our father" written after the photo?
Colinny represented the law with his own hands. But he finally chose to leave. Maybe it's because the world has nothing to worry about. Maybe it's a wish.
At the end of the movie, a young boy stood up and said indignantly, "Kasper has the confidence to defeat his mentor." But I don't think so. Little lawyer Casper, like Colinny, is a person who combines vulnerability and bravery, two contradictory points in themselves. What Colinny wanted most was a sentence, "He's not wrong, it's them who was wrong." And what Casper wanted to defeat was not his mentor, but himself who had been shaken in his heart.
I don't want to do too much spoilers. But "The Corinthian Case" is like a well-earned stage play. At the end of the show, the actors seem to walk up to you and resonate with you as if they were pulling out your heart.
It's not Colinny's fault. It was the era that was wrong.
(Mom's last compliment, the Germans are so handsome! Especially the grandson of Mr. Mai who is running around! The Ying Nian really died early! I cried)
