I'm really scared

No matter how hard a rock is, it is dead, and no matter how fragile an egg is, it is alive. The rock will eventually shatter into fine sand, and the egg will eventually hatch over the rock.

Let me briefly introduce the background of the story. I don’t know why South Korea’s politics have always been chaotic. Through Baidu and a film review I read, I learned that Song Youshuo’s experience in the movie was based on the 16th President of South Korea, Roh Moo-hyun. Although there are creative elements, But the experience is similar in many places. The background is the military dictatorship of Chun Doo-hwan of the Fifth Republic of South Korea in 1981. In order to strengthen ideological control, he launched the "Ax Forest Incident" in Busan, that is, 22 students, teachers and other people were arrested on the grounds of violating the national security law, and they were tortured to extract confessions. These people defend.

I really like Song Kanghao as an actor. This time, Song Youshuo, played by him, has made such major changes in the whole movie. When his son was born, his mother-in-law helped pay for the hospital, but he couldn't even afford a meal, so he exchanged the books he sold with the remaining money, re-examined his life, "never give up", and finally passed He passed the judicial examination; Song Youshuo has a very sensitive sense of the society, from real estate registration to tax lawyer, he manages his life more and more vigorously, although he is often ridiculed as a nouveau riche in nightclubs, although he told his wife " I don't know how to spend too much money", which is full of the taste of a small town, but this does not prevent him from living an orderly and beautiful life; but the proprietress asked Song Youshuo to save her son. Not wanting his children to live in a society that does not respect human rights, Song Youshuo resolutely chose to be a defender, defending the students, and defending the ravaged laws and human rights.

I want my kids not to live in an age where the brakes are on for something like this ridiculous.

The role of Song Youshuo can't be too full. On the one hand, it is due to Song Kanghao's romance, and on the other hand, it comes from the setting of the script. Song Youshuo was very poor when he was young. He built houses for others and couldn't pay for meals. Later, I found a way to do real estate registration, and later became a tax lawyer. Although I was looked down upon by others, I made a lot of money and moved to the house I built. Chatting with my wife, I said that when I had no money before, I wanted to buy everything. Now that I have money, I don’t know how to spend it. It’s really full of sense of life. This is the real life. And when the classmates reunited, Song Youshuo, who drank too much, revealed his inner real world. This is how this society is. Don't try to use your personal power to change, don't touch your egg on a rock, you have to learn to surrender, you can live well and earn a lot of money. As a result, he and one of his classmates had a dispute because of their different understandings. When he left the money one by one on the table, it was full of copper stench.

What led Song Youshuo to think like this actually stemmed from his inner inferiority complex. Although he made a lot of money, many people still laughed at him. Song Youshuo's high self-esteem made him want to make some changes. He bought a sailboat and wanted to race and win glory for his country. And he once said that now that he has earned enough money, he wants to do something meaningful. But when asked to do a case involving politics, he declined politely and decisively, because he just wanted to live the life of an ordinary person, live with his wife and children in the building he likes, have an orderly career, and what else did he long for.

But later, his benefactor came to beg him. Although he was dodging at first, he couldn't handle it in conscience. When he saw the wounds left by Zhenyu's beating, he decided to help the mother and son as a repayment. But as things went on, he suddenly found that he didn't understand the society more and more. As a lawyer, he found that some basic rights of the people could not be guaranteed, and he was even more intolerable to torture students for perjury, so he decided to look for evidence to persevere. In this defense, which had already been planned, Song Youshuo had only himself on the side, and the defense lawyers were also restrained, just wanting to reduce the sentence as much as possible, but Song Youshuo insisted on maintaining it and could not accept the imposed guilt; at the same time , his home and work place were threatened, even his own son, and the opportunity to cooperate with a big company was also in vain, but Song Youshuo still worked hard to the end.

Because the people are not rich, they cannot be protected by the law and cannot enjoy democracy. I cannot accept this statement.

Sometimes I think about it, the thing about human rights is too empty, the thing about the law is sometimes too weak, and the armed forces can amplify the rights. Jin Yu, a middle school student in the film, was tortured in various ways. When he was arrested, he was taken away without putting on his headgear. He was then brainwashed through various criminal laws. The most moving thing is that when Zhenyu's mother saw Zhenyu for the first time, Zhenyu had a nervous breakdown and kept saying that he would be obedient. At this time, I suddenly felt, what is human rights and what is the use of it.

I remember a scene in the hit drama "In the Name of the People" some time ago in which Zheng Xipo was brought to the police station for no reason. Of course, he was released with the halo of a good man in the end, but what about Hugjiletu and others who did not have the halo of a good man? , being misjudged by an unsound judicial system, what can you do in front of those who do not respect human rights and the law? It's terrifying to think about.

I went to dinner with my roommate last week, and for some reason I suddenly talked about the explosion that occurred more than ten years ago, saying that there were more than a dozen people killed, but only a few people were reported at the time, which is not surprising at all. But what my roommate said next confused me a bit. He said that the government is doing the right thing, so as to reduce unnecessary panic and prevent it from being used by criminals. Of course, roommates make sense from the point of view of the rulers, but if everyone thinks this way and voluntarily gives up the basic right to know, then the so-called human rights will not be respected.

When such citizens cannot exercise their legal rights, as a legal officer, I should be at the forefront. This is the real obligation of a legal officer.

In the end, it failed in a certain sense. Soldiers who put their own safety aside came out to testify, but were framed as deserters and subjected to military law. Seeing this, the turning point that I thought had appeared disappeared, and despair spread little by little. Later, when Song Youshuo led the people in the parade, he knelt on the ground to protest, and a group of armed men rushed over. From this perspective, he saw more of a person's insignificance and the helplessness of an egg hitting a stone. At this time, despair reached its peak.

procession

I thought the movie would end here, a bit like "The Furnace", but this time it didn't, and there was a scene where the legal staff united to defend Song Youshuo. The previous ultimate despair was suddenly moved by this warm scene, maybe the eggs will really hatch and life to cross this rock.

Really?

    Even if there is no subtitles, the whole film in Busan dialect can withstand this pain. After watching the movie for two hours, I met my friends and decided to watch the subtitled version again when I decided to watch it again. How to say I have to figure out why I cried twice. . .

    A movie that changed reality: On February 13, 2014, the Busan District Court issued a second-instance verdict on the "Bulim Incident" and sentenced 5 defendants to not guilty, 33 years after the first-instance verdict. "Because people cannot be protected by the law if they are not wealthy, and they cannot enjoy democracy. I cannot accept this statement."-Song Youshuo
