There is no absolute justice, but there is immortality

Delicate, carefully crafted. Justice, politics, justice, revenge, love, friendship... all kinds of elements are mixed in the two-hour movie, the oil painting-like picture, the method of cross-narrative, and the amazing stroke of the suspense ending, it is very beautiful. The quality is in the top three of the Spanish movies I've seen.

There are many places where people sigh faintly in the film, but there are also moments of knowing smiles. Those who are accustomed to watching Hollywood-made packages may wish to change their appetites with this film. The rhythm is slightly slower, but it does not hinder the introduction of feelings.

But what touched me the most was the line: No sé si será la justicia, pero es una justicia. (The charm of different languages ​​can be seen here. In Spanish, you only need to replace the definite article with the indefinite article. The meaning of the expression needs to be explained in the translation. Similarly, our idioms are concise and meaningful, and they often lose their flavor when they are translated into foreign languages.) I know that absolute justice does not exist, at least in a class society, but I heard this The lines are still sighing, and it seems that it is inevitable to be a little angry from time to time~

The design of the missing A is really ingenious.

    The long shot of the stadium is very dazzling. TE (A) MO, because of fear of love, and the delay in typing A, it represents the knot that cannot be dispatched. Selective forgetting belongs to everyone's own persistence. Twenty-five years ago, a rape and murder case evokes unbearable memories and also outlines the back of an era. The story is fluent, the performance is vivid, and the joys and sorrows are touching. However, the system and historical criticism are too simple to give one star.

    I listened to them whispering that Spanish I couldn't enter it. It turned out to be a bitter love movie T_T....The middle-aged healing department is really the subject I fear most. It's nothing more than using extremely thick emotions as salad oil to mix time, memories, truth, etc., which seems to be self-salvation, but after all, it is still a hypocritical and invincible daughter-in-law.

The Secret in Their Eyes quotes

  • Irene Menéndez Hastings: My whole life I've looked forward. "Backwards" is out of my jurisdiction. I declare myself incompetent.

  • Benjamín Esposito: You see? I don't want to miss another chance. How is it possible? How can I do nothing about it? I've been asking myself for 25 years and I've only been able to come up with one answer. "Forget it, it was another lifetime. It's over, don't ask." It wasn't another lifetime. It was this one. It is this one. Now I want to understand. How can someone live an empty life? How do you live a life full of nothing?
