say anything

"The Defender", another movie starring Song Kang-ho that I watched after "Snowpiercer", the introduction was adapted from the personal experience of the late South Korean former President Roh Moo-hyun, but I know very little about the former president's life (except for his He committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in 2009), and he is not familiar with the modern history of Korea, so it is natural to have no idea about the above personnel after watching the film.
Back to the film, the film is based on the background of Busan in the early days of the military dictatorship of Chun Doo-hwan of the Fifth Republic of Korea in 1981. It tells the story of ordinary tax lawyer Song Woo-seok defending the human rights of students who were victims of the "Burim Incident" that shocked the whole country. I don’t think a film like this could be made in China, and it wouldn’t be released if it was made, but it was made in South Korea, and the people still know that it was adapted from the personal experience of former President Roh Moo-hyun. The film was watched by over 11.36 million when it was released in South Korea last year. , is the 9th local film in the history of Korean films to break 10 million (please refer to the Korean population to assess the influence).
I emphasize that the above is because the truth about the student incidents involved in the film during the dictatorship can be filmed and released; because in order to safeguard human rights and judicial justice, people like Song Youshuo finally stood up; because in addition to Song Youshuo, there are more Many people will fight for human dignity and justice. At the end, when Lawyer Song came to court as the defendant and the judge read out the list of defenders, I burst into tears. The backlit figure in white and the defender standing behind him made the final climax of the film.
The film is over, but life continues, and the impact may continue. Korean media reported that two months after the film was released, on February 13, 2014, the Busan District Court made a second-instance judgment on the "Burim Incident", declaring that the defendant did not endanger the security and basic order of the country, and commuted the defendant's innocence. The 33-year-old injustice has finally been resolved. I love the ending, absolutely. And I hope you all have time to watch this film, maybe you will have more feelings now, such as how to maintain the attitude of the society we live in, and how to think about the future world we create.
