Watch less old movies

This is a movie that makes me think a lot, and at the same time I believe it also makes a lot of people think a lot, but it is not a movie I like because it makes me uncomfortable, it makes me very disappointed with human nature and society. Especially when I think of the recent Tang Hui case and the various wrongful convictions I have seen on the news recently, I always feel that fairness and justice are still far away from us.
What saddens me even more is that the original version of the film was shot in the 1960s, more than 50 years ago. In the American society at that time, film directors were already concerned about the flaws of the law, the unjust judgments caused by the immorality of people, and the distortions of people's psychology caused by this and may cause social tragedy. In China in the 21st century, it seems that our discussion of equality and justice has just begun. This discussion goes hand in hand with many people's requirements for basic survival: some people have enough food or a well-off and begin to pursue equality and justice, while some people can't even eat enough to eat. This disparity makes me feel sad. On the other hand, our movies even have a strict censorship system, and there are many restrictions on citizens' speech. It is incredible that these behaviors that hinder human progress will continue to exist in today's highly developed technology. matter.
Of course, the intention of the film is to make people think through a tragedy, and then to promote the perfection of the law. The intent is positive. But in fact, what we often see in tragedies is the powerlessness of people. Despite our longing for beauty, it is always difficult to balance our own selfish desires and how not to violate the interests of others. It is always difficult to treat yourself and others with a unified moral code. The law is universal, but it is always difficult to take into account individual differences. How to avoid secular prejudice and make a fair and just judgment is always difficult. The more criticism, the more thinking, the more problems and disappointments there will be.
The film's soundtrack is corny, maybe because I'm not nostalgic, too young. This kind of soundtrack makes people feel a sense of distance from the times. I don't like distance.
Second, there are so many lines in it that are about philosophy, like Nietzsche, like God is dead, and trying to preach is a nasty way.
Movies actually have a lifespan. Maybe at the time, it was an avant-garde and wonderful movie, but now, it seems mediocre and old-fashioned.
