It seems that I have flipped through a few movie reviews, and sure enough, many people are as excited as I am. I'm very moved. In fact, what does this reflect? I think this reflects that everyone, the same, has a heart to pursue justice. Perhaps just like the end of the film, the two shook hands and gradually left. Maybe we are not all heroes in life, but history is not made by heroes.
But two comments stuck in my memory. One is talking about the ending is not good and the case should be re-examined rather than outright acquitted. I think this point is very reasonable and easy to understand, but I don't think it's the focus of this film, for reasons I'll talk about later, so that comrade gave it four stars. Another comrade gave him one star. Anyway, he scolded a lot of ugly things, but he didn't give any reason. That's why I want to talk a little bit more about understanding.
I think this film reflects of course justice, no doubt about it. But what is the firm foundation behind judicial justice? is rational. The root of reason is doubt and criticism. This point is also mentioned many times in the film, and even many violent conflicts are actually not between guilt and innocence in essence, but between rational and irrational, excessively subjective and objective. What I am talking about here is too subjective, because I think that there is no absolute objective for a thinking person, and this is not terrible. Knowing Gödel's incompleteness theorem, for example, Einstein pursued in the second half of his life. The failure of the grand unified theory, can it not be said that it may be impossible to find an absolutely objective and universal truth? When I used to play Assassin's Creed, a very classic line was "nothing is true." This may be idealism, but the relative truth is not necessarily the truth. But in fact, there is no need to be afraid when you think about it. Isn’t that how human beings have infinite possibilities? Assuming that an absolute truth, a grand unified theory really exists, and humans have found it, wouldn’t it be similar to game clearance? Then how will human beings live? We like to pursue the truth, but it would be better to say that what really attracts us is not only the truth, but also the process of pursuing the truth. I don't think anyone would want it to end.
Pull away. Moving on to critical thinking. Irrational thinking in daily life is very worrying, at least I am very disgusted with irrational thinking. As mentioned earlier, the meaning of life is not to pursue rationality, which should be the consensus of most people. The vast majority of people definitely agree with the pursuit of rationality, but they do not regard rationality as the goal of life, but take survival needs, or the more indescribable ideal achievement of love and family, as the goal of pursuit. These differences come together to create freedom. But the pursuit of rationality is still necessary, which is why I give five stars. It is the freedom of people to express opinions, but giving sufficient reasons for opinions is the obligation of people to put forward their opinions, otherwise it is a harm to the freedom of others. There are often jokes, do you need a reason to love someone? Maybe not. But if you're going to interfere with someone's liberty, whether it's something as big as a conviction for first-degree murder, or casual criticism of someone's hard work, it's best to give a reason, at least in a rational way.
The family's words, casually said, welcome criticism.
