This movie has been paying tribute to "Killing a Mockingbird", telling everyone that the same tragedy is still happening 100 years after Lee Harper's global classic was written. In the former slave-holding state, the local whites still occupy an absolutely powerful position, almost forming a kind of underworld and evil forces. Reminiscent of some backward and closed areas in our country, there is also a high degree of similarity.
The actions of the human rights lawyer in the play are first to pay tribute to the justice lawyer father Fintch in "The Robin". At the same time, it reminds me of Roh Moo-hyun from "The Defender" and Huang Chi-ho from "The Distance Between Us and Evil". , As well as the important human rights lawyer Wang Fei in the Zhang Yuhuan case that we have just experienced in 2020. He was imprisoned for more than 20 years before being wronged. Both Huang Zhihao and Wang Fei have made public speeches online, and I highly recommend you to watch them.
In short, there are disadvantaged groups no matter where they are. When we are not facing disaster, we are lucky. But when disaster strikes, the only people who can help us are those seemingly stupid idealists.
