More than 70 years after World War II, the Germans are still constantly revealing the scars of history with an almost redemptive mentality, reflecting on history from different perspectives, "The Innocence Murder - The Coligny Case" is undoubtedly an excellent film. Reflections on historical works with both artistic and practical value~
The plot conflict, character setting, editing, and soundtrack are all exquisite in details. The character setting of the lawyer is very interesting. One side is the deceased who raised him like a father in his life, and the other side is his defense. Fang - the silent suspect. How should he place himself, whether to choose emotional ethics or stick to his professional ethics, this seems to be a problem that Germans have to face every time they reflect on history after World War II~
We are all amazed at Brandt's stunning kneel in Warsaw, but we don't know that Germany has also introduced the "Dreyer's Act" that helped countless World War II war criminals escape legal sanctions under the protection of the entire system. However, the darkness of the entire German judicial system brings the powerlessness. The feeling will only make people cry out the kind gold-style revenge~
The whole story adopts a single-line narrative and a flashback structure. As the story progresses and the truth gradually emerges, the parallel editing of the scenes of Meyer's brutal persecution of Italian civilians during World War II and the scene of Colinny's revenge also made the latter There is more meaning of trial ~ and Meyer's repentant gesture before "sentence" did not let Colinny, who had been tortured for decades in the past, relieved ~ He seems to have lived his whole life only to see criminals being executed, but society and society The law forced him to use personal revenge, so when this moment came, he didn't have the pleasure of getting revenge, only helplessness, powerlessness and endless emptiness~
The scene of the final court trial was very exciting and gripping~ The lawyer's questioning of German law and the questioning of justice and the scene of Colinny watching the brutal murder of his father were cross-edited together, filling the audience's anger to the full. Linney chose to commit suicide to complete his final indictment and resistance to the German social legal system. In his own way, he let the world see the truth of a piece of history and lit the torch of justice. He deserved the sentence "We Father - Colinney" ~
The Chinese translation of "Innocent Murder" is very good both in terms of business and artistic expression. Whether it is Meyer as a World War II war criminal who murdered unarmed ordinary people but could not be convicted due to the stains of German law, or Colinny's personal trial method Meyer's revenge for escaping legal punishment can be called "innocent murder" in a sense~
