"It doesn't matter whether people express moving tears, deep sympathy, contemptuous smiles, and bitter ridicule for our rotting flesh, those lost melancholy, and the pain of failure. The repeated exploration, lost, failure and success will definitely be given enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluation..." When the poet index finger wrote "Believe in the Future" in the chaotic era, he was deeply and stubborn, just like the protagonist of this film- - Song Youshuo.
Song Youshuo, who only has a high school degree, has been struggling in society for so many years. He is a shrewd philistine and doesn't care about the ridicule of his peers and handing over business cards everywhere, but he is still kind-hearted and tenacious, and he can't forget the conscience debt he owed in the restaurant. "Never give up" is engraved on the house he built with his own hands. This is the character factor that he chose to be a defense lawyer for Park Zhenyu later.
The increase in income makes life better, and he will brag about it at the class reunion, and the ordinary and prosperous days are very happy for him. He prepares for the judicial examination day and night and changes career as a lawyer just to make the living conditions of his family better. He has no time to take care of those college students who march all day, and put away good books instead of reading to fight against government agencies. In Song Youshuo's opinion, How could this society be changed by parade, it was like hitting a stone with an egg, but in the end he himself became one of the moths to the flame.
This kind of transformation is precisely the point of the whole movie. Not everyone can be a hero. Being a hero requires paying a lot of costs, both visible and invisible. Maybe you in front of the screen will not choose to become a person like Song Youshuo in the end, but As long as you keep watching, the auntie in the hotel endured heartache to find her son and went to the morgue again and again to recognize him, Park Zhenyu was tortured with scars of various sizes on his body, and Song Youshuo's sentence after sentence in the court was soul-crushing. Questioning, the human heart is full of flesh, we can't keep our eyes open, and we are also sitting on the jury seat invisibly, looking forward to a fairness and justice.
"This is a stagnant ditch of despair. This is definitely not the place for beauty. It's better to let the ugliness cultivate it and see what kind of world he creates." Perhaps in the eyes of capital and evil forces, even in the judge's eyes, Song Youshuo is a lunatic , They really don't understand what this idiot is insisting on. It's fine to coordinate the commutation of the sentence and they want to be acquitted. Could it be that the judicial system will change because of him alone, but Song Youshuo thinks that the road to change is long, and maybe he will pave the way Ishigami was the first person to sacrifice, but he still wanted to speak out, even if it wasn't for the students in the book club, but also for his two children, not to live in a sick and disappointing society. This is a man who is fighting alone for thousands of people. Song Youshuo has to bear not only the pressure of public opinion from the society, but also the threat of family relations. Think of Wang She in "The Distance Between Us and Evil", when he spends all day When running for the justice and rule of law in his heart, he neglected to take care of his family. His wife was worried all day long and feared that she would end up having an accidental miscarriage. His father-in-law told him, "You are very selfish." How to balance this conflict is not covered in the movie. It just gave several shots of Song Youshuo coming home late at night, as well as his wife's questions while lying in bed. What is commendable is that he has not wavered, and what is commendable is his wife's understanding and company.
"No matter how hard the rock is, it is dead, and the egg is still alive, no matter how fragile the egg is. The rock will eventually break into fine sand, and the egg will eventually hatch over the rock." Whether the reality is crueler than this, we can believe that there will be people Stand up, first or later, the deeply touched person will stand up, the aggrieved person will stand up, and the arrogant person will stand up as well. In the courtroom stood Song Youshuo, 99 lawyers, you and me and him. To a certain extent, the film's choice of this subject matter may have greater value and significance than its own.
