The film's rhythm is tight, the foreshadowing is in place, the scale is accurate, and the actors' performances are in place, which thoroughly reflects how terrifying the white horror of South Korea in the 1980s, a rare good film. It forced me to look at my spirit from the state of being half asleep at about one o'clock in the morning. The South Korean government at the time was basically a military dictatorship backed by the United States. Under the coercive force of the state, no organization dared to resist at that time. The police listened to the military government to frame the students, the prosecutor listened to the police to prosecute, the judge listened to the prosecutor and convicted them, and the defense lawyer listened to the judge and did nothing. No one dares to step out of the ring, because that is to fight against the coercive force of the state and hit the stone with the egg. Therefore, the backbone of South Korea at that time were mostly insensitive and did not act. But no matter how hard the rock is, it is dead. No matter how fragile an egg is, it is still alive. This phrase runs through the entire movie. The protagonist is Song Youshuo, who was originally a lawyer who only cared about making money and had no intention of family and national affairs, but was forced to be involved in a national security law case, defending a group of so-called "red elements", and finally gave up his comfortable life and moved towards democracy. The road of social struggle. It really became that living and very fragile, but very strong egg. Movie narratives are like dominoes. Song Youshuo fought for himself from the very beginning, to his family, to the friends he knew around him, to the people he didn't know, and finally to the democracy of the whole country. My emotions while watching the movie also became more and more excited as the movie continued to sublimate. Until the end of the film, Song Youshuo sat in the dock alone, but 99 lawyers from Busan volunteered to defend him alone. During the judge's roll call to make sure the lawyers were all present, Song Woo Suk cried, and so did I. Because at this time, he finally awakened the conscience of the entire industry. Those death threats to family members, those screaming in tear gas, those inner torment and persistence, finally paid off at this moment. Such an emotional release is truly tear-jerking. The movie is really nice.
