So I remembered the movie "Guardian Homeland" (also known as "Megatron" and "Violence for Violence") that I watched before. In fact, this movie itself is just a hot and fierce action movie, but it resists evil deeds. Violence against punishment is quite an open fire. The story takes place in the hometown of the protagonist, veteran special soldier Chris, in this relatively closed environment, assuming that the order established by democracy is gentle and fragile? A name of the movie gave an answer: "Tough Guys"—compared to the shameful answers and madness of defenders of justice in "Tough Guy", this answer is of course more plausible. So we saw the strong male protagonist beating the villains violently, and it seemed that what we felt was not only the pleasure and enmity, but also the clear distinction between right and wrong.
I often think, "Tough Guy" is always a little ambiguous about the behavior of the guardian of justice when righteous and evil are opposed. Maybe it is facing a problem similar to "legitimacy"? But in fact, as long as it is violence, you all face this problem. Then you can look at how to solve this problem in "Guardian Home". There are many contents and details worth pondering:
Under normal order, there will always be some unconventional evil deeds lurking, and once it gains power, all the surrounding areas will be restless. At this time, of course, the same unconventional but just violence is needed to attack decisively, but even if a certain kind of violence is just, it faces the problem that the nature of violence is unconventional and anti-order. In order to deal with this "paradox", the method of the movie "Guardian Homeland" is to make the righteous violent strikes famous at the time—that is, to legalize it. In the film, after the mighty male protagonist single-handedly destroys the casino, the court The jury found that he was not guilty and legalized the "violent resistance". Afterwards, the actor eliminated the villains of drug trafficking and pornography and rampage in the village. He is already the police chief of the town, which is a "violent punishment." Legitimization... Let the violence of the righteous run within the regulation of democracy and the rule of law.
I don’t know how much the “legalization” of justice and violence in the movie "Guardian Homeland" is feasible in reality, but it seems that from what we have seen and heard, in their social politics, the jury system is It does exist and has a certain historical tradition, and it does not seem to be very difficult to be a police officer.
However, the actual social situation in China is very different. There is no jury system in our legal system. In reality, court judgments are not free from irregularities, but only the "Li Zhuang case" and the "Nanjing Xu granny case" will occur. "It’s rare to make “just assailants innocent”. At the same time, in our country, civil servants, especially civil servants in the "Public Procuratorate and Law" system, are all we have to pass fierce competition. , Sharpening his head, and getting through the relationship may not be able to get fat. Those who have a righteous mind may become insensitive once they take this position-you also expect him to decisively and fearlessly to violence against evil Violent?
But China also has a similar situation to the evil imperialist country. The male protagonist in "Guardian Homeland" said: "I grew up in this town. People used to walk with their heads upright. They would not want evil casinos to replace them. Timber mills, they cannot allow drugs to be sold to children arbitrarily..."We also have this knowledge. They are similar in understanding, but the issue of the legality of justice and violence faces the insurmountable Chinese characteristics and specific national conditions. So Chinese movies cleverly figured out a way, so we saw in the movie "Tough Guys" that "the old man who specializes in hitting bad guys" "Three" is actually a fool-if the perpetrator of justice violence is a fool and mentally retarded, the result will still be justice and order, but the violence itself will no longer face the dilemma and paradox of legality.
However, this brings another kind of dilemma. One is a kind of "irony" to today's society. The "old third" is a fool and idiot who has a sense of justice and destructive power. However, the important task of maintaining social order has caused dependence on such people. This is a problem. What kind of society and what kind of group of people? The second is the castration of the issue of legality. In Chinese history, there is no shortage of people who think that “just violence” was born, but the perpetrators did not care about the legality of violence, and their solution was not through procedures. The violence itself is legalized. It is a slogan such as "Princes and generals, I would rather have kindness", "walk the way for the heavens" or "Pure the emperor's side". ", "walking for the sky", so the movie "Tough Guy" seems to tell us cautiously: "Look, the man who fought with the bad guy is actually a stupid..."
