"The Defender" uses the 16th President Roh Moo-hyun of South Korea as a template for artistic processing. Before watching this film, it is necessary to have a rough understanding of the real historical background in the film, which is conducive to a deeper understanding of what the film wants to express. In real life, most people talk about things other than survival based on survival. The same is true for lawyer Song Youshuo in the film. He came from the bottom and has changed the material living environment of his family through his unremitting efforts. Yes, Lawyer Song did not annihilate his soul because of the beautiful material, and he finally embarked on the difficult road of defending democracy; "Because the people are not rich, they cannot be protected by the law, and they cannot enjoy democracy. I am saying this. Unacceptable." These are the shocking words of lawyer Song in the film. Perhaps, there has never been a free law, or justice, and it is precisely because of the cruel reality that justice is even more priceless.
