Kindness and justice are the most precious things in the world

A movie that moved to defeat the bizarre, the kind and righteous Paul and the jailer in the prison are in sharp contrast with the sinister and cruel Percy. Paul respects every prisoner who will be executed, respects their last life, and regards their death as a A solemn thing.

Paul learned that John was about to be executed because of a misjudgment, but he was unable to save him, and the tears secretly hidden by the jailers reflected the reluctance and helplessness for John.

John saving people but being mistaken for a murderer is a perfect contrast to a world where black and white are turned upside down.

The point of tears and pain is that John saved the lives of others like an angel, and punished the wicked like a judge, but he lost his life innocently.

For John he didn't like darkness, he went to places where there was all light.

He is tired.
