Kevin Costner ("Bodyguard") starred as the black fighter Eliot,
Robert De Niro ("The Godfather") as the gang boss,
Sean Connery ("007") as the police officer Jimmy,
Andy Garcia ("The Godfather ") The new godfather in "Three") plays a sharpshooter policeman.
In this film, there are three things that make me think:
1. Old Jimmy, a policeman with a sense of justice and a conscience!
In the film, old Jimmy has a few words that are very classic. Although I don’t like famous quotes and famous sentences, those so-called refined sentences that speak out the secrets are meaningless in my opinion, but some classic words will have a deep understanding at the right time and place:
1. If you don’t want to get out of a basket of rotten apples Take apples, then go pick apples from the tree. (This is the "remote censorship" method of cracking down on gangs and anti-corruption)
2. Keep your secrets and don't tell your boss. (Knowing something is not enough, people must have reservations)
In addition, the conversation between old Jimmy and the corrupt police chief is also very thought-provoking! ! Because the corruption and bribery of the police at that time was well known to everyone, it was commonplace in the big tank of corruption. Although the director had a good relationship with old Jimmy and had hints about his personal safety, he still insisted on asking for information from the director’s old friend. After being rejected, he forced the old friend with his fist and pistol. speak out. This shows the old Jimmy's persistence in advocating justice, and because of how many years of corrupt forces have shamed the public office of the police, he has been unable to raise his head. Therefore, he spared no effort in combating smuggling underworld forces. In one scene, he used a dead body as a prop to shoot a headshot at close range, forcing another criminal to confess, which made his character very deep.
2. To catch the thief, we must catch the stolen goods, and the counter-triad must catch the accountant.
Civil servants have no sense of justice, lack of conscience, and no sense of public office. Regardless of system issues, the main reason is that they have been bought by money. Before being bought by money, they still had a little conscience and morality, but after being bought, they became "ghosts". Wen Qiang of Chongqing, Nan Yong and Xie Yalong of the Football Association, the best way to convict them and pry open their teeth is to put the stolen money in front of them and turn them from "ghosts" into people.
3. The jury system.
In Henry Fontaine's "Twelve Angry Men", I saw the power of the jury. There is one word in this film that impressed me-"Guilty" or "No Guilty" (guilty, innocent).
The Anglo-American jury system gives me the impression that some referees in football, police, lawyers and many others can work part-time to whistle. The similarity between them lies in the execution and respect of fairness and justice.
Tokwick, a French thinker who has observed the jury system in the United States, said, “The jury system is not only the most effective way for the people to govern the country, but also the best way to teach the people how to govern the country.”
Sometimes I think, the jury is all What should I do if I am bought? But this is obviously unnecessary suspicion, because judges can also be bought off, and the government can also be bought off.
But justice, justice, and morality cannot be bought off, otherwise this society would not be called a society.
Justice is not vain and vague, it is the correct development direction of the actual relationship between people.
According to relevant information, American citizens still have more trust in the jury system than they have in lawyers, judges, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court. So far, the arguments for abolishing the jury system have not yet become mainstream.
