In front of conscience, selfishness has nowhere to hide

This movie can probably be regarded as another version of Fang Han Dazhan. If you usually see this movie, you might think it is just a good entertainment film. But when I saw it, it happened that Fang Zhouzi and Han Han were arguing, and they had a deeper understanding of why many of the contents were arranged in this way. I heard that this story is based on real events. Can't help but marvel at how amazing this world is.

A lawyer who graduated from Harvard, perhaps out of selfish motives, sniffed the possibility of black-box operations in the TV quiz show, and decided to devote himself to the fight against counterfeiting.

A Jew who just appeared on the audition show thought that he could be invincible by virtue of his own strength, and he kept getting more bonuses. But he has fatal shortcomings, not good-looking, short-sighted, toothy, and not attractive.

A handsome, polite, and literary professor of Columbia University decided to participate in a TV competition because of poor income.

When the TV program planner saw him, he realized that the professor had too much potential. So the Jews were asked to give up, take the money and leave. Let the handsome professor continue to be the champion. However, he does not have the knowledge background of the Jews. The only way is to let him know the question in advance and give him the answer. At first the professor was unwilling to submit, but could not withstand the temptation of fame and fortune. Finally decided to accept this arrangement. The Jews were dissatisfied with being asked to give up, threatening the TV station. But he only knew that he was being coerced, but he didn't know that the professor also had a problem.

The investigation did not go smoothly, because the client had money and career prospects to back up, and he would not confess to death. But in the end the lawyer found the Jews. During the investigation, the lawyer revealed the inside story step by step. Because the cultural background and the professor were closer, the lawyer and the professor soon became good friends, and the lawyer obviously hated the nagging paranoia of the Jews. However, in the end, the lawyer discovered that the professor was also actively involved. When things were revealed, the professor confessed to court and sincerely apologized. The well-informed media boss pretended not to know, but he was lucky enough to get through. The professor was ruined, lost his position in the TV station, and lost his job as a professor at Columbia University. It can be seen that the lawyer later saw his friend repenting so sincerely, and he was also struggling infinitely.

The movie discusses many issues involved in the war between Fang and Han: integrity, financial temptation, the public's right to know, the impact on the younger generation, and so on. Although many characters and clues are designed, the movie finally falls on a theme, in front of the conscience, all selfishness has nowhere to hide. The professor's confession was faced with countless audiences. Although he won a lot of sympathy, he did not escape people's cheers for justice in the end.

The professor's father is a famous writer. When his son struggled and confessed to him, he didn't mean to protect his son, but supported his son's confession and paid him to court. Finally, when the professor was embarrassed and took the car home, only his parents were with him.

The moment he got in the car and left, the professor turned his head and looked at the lawyer who came out of the court. They did not speak, but their mood at this time should be quite complicated. One thing is certain: after the baptism of conscience, although two people are no longer friends at this time, although they are far apart, this is the most frank look at each other after they met.

Ralph Fiennes' acting skills are too superb!

    With his eyes fixed on Ralph Fiennes sparkling, the uncle carried the whole play by himself.

    Idiots are always worshipped by dumber ones, and more idiots on the outside are actually villains. The stupider fools who refuse to wake up and insist on believing in the wicked should go to hell with the wicked.
