What social issues does The Defender reflect on?

Like "Silmi Island", this film shows the issue of scale on the edge of the law. A major feature of the Korean film industry is that it has the ability for filmmakers to express themselves freely, and to create truly nutritious things with great concentration. Although sharp and sensitive, it touches the heart of the heart. Personally, I think the film that comes out of this background is full and impeccable.

The 1980s in South Korea were very interesting, and many related films appeared. Roh Moo-hyun's experience can also reflect the democratic process of South Korea.

The growth process of the male protagonist is a dark clue. He finally became a rich man. He didn't care about things outside the window at all. Until the benefactor's son was regarded as a red element, Song Defense finally rose from an individual to a society, no longer living his own life, and took on the social responsibility of a lawyer.

The dirty inside story of the torture of innocent people, the concealment of the truth by newspapers and television, the hardships of the defenders of the red elements, the truth witnessed by foreign media reporters, and the out-of-control roar of Song Kanghao's court. I have to admire the courage of the Koreans to face up to the history of the nation. "The Defender" fully demonstrates the relaxation and confrontation between the state power apparatus and the people.

"The country, what exactly is the country the witness said? Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea states that the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea belongs to the state, and all powers are generated by the citizens, and the state is the citizens. Trample state repression underfoot... You are a maggot making a good and innocent country sick, you are a dirty helper to the military regime."
