"A good policeman can't sleep because the problem has not yet been solved, and a bad policeman can't sleep because his conscience makes it difficult for him to sleep."
Al Pacino's eyes brought a policeman's inner monologue. Whether to punish crimes to obtain substantive justice, or to follow procedural justice, and let criminals who know they are unforgivable go unpunished on the grounds of "reasonable doubt". It really doesn't make much sense to discuss this, because everyone has their own standards for measuring justice in their own hearts.
I always believe that if a film deeply touches you, it must be the plot, characters, music, etc. in the film that resonate with your own experience. This resonance is an inexplicable urge that inadvertently becomes wedged with your soul. "Don't lose your way", once a choice is made, the butterfly effect of this choice is unexpected, and you may be dragged away by it until you are exhausted, Drag until you have nowhere to live, until you become someone you hate. What kind of cop is Al Pacino's cop? To be a good policeman, if there is no desire for justice, then it is impossible for him to give everything to find the truth, to find justice. But it was the thirst for justice that forced him to make a choice, and he made his own choice, so he was tortured by his conscience all the time. Insomnia, finding a reason in this polar day region, can be attributed to the damned sunlight rather than the constant visions before us. When you make a choice that you can’t bear in your heart, where is your conscience? A good policeman eventually becomes an accomplice to a murderer because of necessity. "A good cop can't sleep because the problem hasn't been solved yet, and a bad cop can't sleep because his conscience makes it difficult for him to sleep." This sentence has always been a problem that the director has given us. What kind of cop do we attribute him to? , this is when we choose the answer again (Nolan is the same Nolan, if a film can't make you think, it won't be a good film)
Once lost, the loss will take you to places you never thought possible. It may be because of my future career in law, this sentence touched me a lot. Because we will face countless moments that we need to choose in the future, and when this moment comes, is your mind clear enough, enough not to forget your original intention, enough to resist what you hate?
Don't lose your way, take it to heart.
