Justice "with impunity"

Angel 2022-04-22 07:01:02

Maybe people's definition of "justice" is originally different. Is it legal justice or practical justice? Is it really necessary to choose according to the time, place and person? As for who is right and who is wrong, I am afraid you have to ask yourself. However, I think that since there are people like "Rollo Tomasi" who get away with the law, there should be justice for "getting away with it"!

In fact, we are all in troubled times. Even if there is no chaos, there are fierce battles between various values. Jack, Ed and Bud all have their own philosophy of life, and they all work hard to survive in the same troubled times. Wrong, who is naive and who is slick, who is stubborn and who is fickle, who is smarter and who is more clumsy, it is so hard to describe. Even the supporting characters in the movie, who are either black or white or gray, don't have a position that can be justified? This is our real world. It has too many unclear moments and areas that are neither black nor white. What standards should be met for justice?

The actors are all good actors, and they played their fullest in such a good story. It's really enjoyable to watch, and it's hard to tell who is stronger and who is weaker, especially the three male protagonists, each of which is already dazzling. It's really sparkling together. It's just that time is wasted, people's hearts are unpredictable, and things are unpredictable. I really don't know which of them will be able to see new dramas in the future, let alone their rival dramas. You see, the plot reversal in reality is not inferior to that in the movie, but it is much more difficult to get away with impunity and walk away in reality.

The story is a good story, it will not be particularly intense, but it can always lead people's hearts forward; the black and white are not clear, but it can always step on the audience's likes and dislikes; the ending is unexpected, but who doesn't like one can impress themselves reversal? A good story is to create a kind of illusion for the audience, to substitute a completely different identity, to gain insight into some self-righteous secrets, and finally to complete a happy madness in the dark, so as to appease those who were impacted in the chaotic world outside the gate. Got a broken heart. Who do you care more about in the movie, who you support more in the movie, and who you understand more in the movie are all a picture of yourself in the mirror. Therefore, it doesn't matter who wins the world and who wins the good prostitutes. The most important thing is that light in the darkness, which gives us peace of mind, knowing that no matter how chaotic people are in this world, there will be a fair period of "impunity"!
