At first, I was worried that this film would be banned, but in fact, it is not at all. In this film, the first point of view is the police, and it is very positive.
Through this film, the handling process of the bus gang rape case is more restored, which is more like a case investigation record.
But there are also deeper discussions, such as why this crime occurs (the bigger the gap between rich and poor, the more crime. They have no sex education, but they can download obscene videos from the Internet. They will objectify women, if they don't get it, they will to steal and rob).
And behind the crime is a contest of countless powerful forces between politicians (journalists are asked to write content that strongly criticizes the police).
The whole film is very realistic.
The first is to objectively state the difficulty of handling the case.
Limited funds: The Delhi Police Department has a budget of 40 million US dollars a year, and the city has a population of 17 million (many details such as: unable to pay electricity bills; flying to arrest people requires approval from above)
There are few clues and the handling of the case is difficult. The best time to solve the case is within 7-10 hours.
The grassroots police in India are inefficient, lazy and incompetent, lack of manpower, and the police on duty are overworked, and they are on call 24 hours a day without overtime pay.
We can only use the police's own contacts and the masses to investigate. The police must have well-informed informants from all parties, and sometimes they have to pay for their own efforts.
The second is the question of how the Delhi Police Department handles cases.
For the first time, a female police officer with 20 years of experience saw a forensic sample at a crime scene;
Sometimes interrogation requires violence, and sometimes this method of fist-hand questioning will also bring a lifetime of shadows to the relatives of the perpetrator;
The victim who was robbed by this group before had no way to report the case, or he didn't know how to report the case, nor did he report any hope to the Delhi Police. "If he had called the police that night, maybe the tragedy would not have happened." After committing multiple crimes, the group was finally arrested because of this incident.
Finally, at this juncture, politicians are thinking about using this to impeach the police chief. "Someone has to take responsibility for this. If you don't have the guts to take it, find someone under you as a scapegoat." Whenever a crime occurs, it is considered police misconduct. People don't know the facts and let the media set the pace.
India may be a big rape country, but there will always be just police, righteous people marching to make this country better. Everyone's impression of India needs to be changed. There are also women who are managers. For example, the female judge, the deputy police chief of the southern district, the female police detective, and the female doctor who appear in the play are also respected by men and have the same right to education. Of course, as the country gets bigger, the quality of its population varies, and the educational level varies, so discrimination against women still exists.
It is also a developing country, and its neighbors may be a mirror of us. One of the best things our country has done in this regard is compulsory education and the universalization of undergraduate education. But in the face of the rare population phenomenon of 30 million bachelors, perhaps this film can enlighten us.
Last two questions:
Why do female police officers stand in the forefront of protests?
Some of the remarks made by Indian policemen in the drama that they envy the lives of American policemen are intentional by Netflix?
