Unselfish? Or judicial violence?

The Untouchables English name, untouchable, incomparable are okay, the translation of untouchables can be discarded.

However, the male protagonist is obviously not an unselfish and determined person, and the film lacks a lot in the shaping of characters.

At the beginning, he faced the reporter, the reporter asked: Do you drink? He replied: No drink,

And then to the police, he said, "Because it's the law, so stop drinking." Seemingly selfless,

He raided the post office without a search warrant, murdered, intimidated witnesses, and finally killed, all in violation of the law to achieve his goals.

I don't want to comment too much on this movie, but I want to talk about the understanding of law and human feelings and morals.

When we face the need to obtain our own interests by breaking the law, how will we deal with it? There may be many situations, but what about when you need to defend your so-called justice by breaking the law? Will we still do this? Just like the protagonist in the film, after breaking the law several times, he finally achieved his own justice, which is also universal justice. Is his heart at peace? To fight the greater evil, the devil, need to cross the law and bring the devil to justice? Is this legal sanction reasonable and fair? This question seems too complicated.

Is it right to punish demons with demonic means? Many people will give an affirmative answer, but what is the extent of these two demons? A child abuser can be called a devil by us, and a serial killer can be called a devil by us. Is it reasonable that we need to use the same means for both types of people? Or is it unreasonable? Is it fair to those who have been abused and those who have died if we do it in the same way? The person who may be abused does not want the abuser to suffer the same abuse as him, and just wants to pay for medical expenses, while the dead person not only wants the murderer to die, but also hopes that he can kill and suffer more pain. Therefore, everyone has their own views and different understandings of this kind of problem. The role of the law is to reduce this problem, to have an equal benchmark and equal treatment.

In many practical problems, the law deviates or even violates morality due to various factors. However, the individual case should not be the standard and procedure for considering the law. The law that treats the head with a headache and treats the foot with a sore foot has no authority and applicability, because it must lag behind the development of society. Under the framework of the law, human feelings play a big role. ? Yes, there are many, the facts cannot be changed, but the severity can be considered.

In this film, there are too many elements of human feelings, and they are not in the rules. They work in the law. I feel that there is no difference between the male protagonist and the police chief. On the contrary, the last judge completes his favor in the rules, which makes people feel cute.

    The dress, values, and techniques are all made into the Prohibition Period, but the soundtrack is too classic...The four "good guys" have very different styles and values ​​that are also harmonized by the social chaos in the background of the story. Connery's one-man show dragged on a bit, and the stage of entering the room and filming seemed extraordinarily independent and exquisite. The design of the platform is good, but the effect is awkward, Costner who is not dedicated enough and Garcia who is not retro enough to break. No wonder being ridiculed by the white-headed detective. Samsung and a half

    Parma still prioritizes skills. The Odessa steps and subjective long shots are pretty beautiful, but the story is too positive and not evil enough to like it; however, all directors who shoot the main theme in China should watch this film, such as that. Who, who else, I won't mention your names.
