Even if I get knocked down today, I can see thousands of me getting up

At the end of the film, I saw the scenes where the lawyers were called by names, and they shed tears without knowing it.

This is an absolute actor movie, relying on him to hold up the whole story.
At the beginning of the article, he was portrayed as ordinary, a young lawyer who saw a business opportunity and became a nouveau riche and was looked down upon by his peers. He worked hard to make money, cherished his family, and missed his old feelings.

Halfway through the film, I almost thought it was going to be flat, and the plot took a turn for the worse.
I don't understand this period of history, but seeing the style of South Koreans cracking down on the left and close to the Communist Party, I can't help thinking that every country is the same.

The next defense is a story about half of the film to be told to the audience.
The actor is still the same as the previous films, a personal heroic character. He gave up the handy light ahead, what he next dared not say or do, the people around him couldn't understand his approach, and his family was coerced by evil forces. Every hero has such a similar hero's journey.

But the brilliance of this film does not lie in the hero's triumphant victory, it is not that the evil forces are surrendered, or that the dark world is saved by Superman.

But even if I was knocked down today, I can still see thousands of me getting up.

In my opinion, the climax of the whole film is not Song Kanghao's sonorous defense, but a quiet response, "Yes."

"The defense lawyers other than me are not sure if they are all present. Can you call them?" What a handsome line.
In the past, you were on the battlefield alone, defending victims who were persecuted by public power. Today, you are sitting in the dock. We will defend you. Even if you still can't win, if you hit one, you still have the next one.

I don't want my children to live in such a country, so I have to defend other people's children at all costs.
We demand democracy, we have demands, so we must stand firm on our demonstrative positions.

One person does it, and then a group of people changes because of him, maybe the world is getting better in this way, isn't it?
