Time has passed, reason and jurisprudence are still intertwined

I have watched several German WWII-themed films recently, and basically told the story in a positive sequence, but there is no shortage of time to jump back to a certain point in history. An ignorant newcomer in the workplace took up a complicated case. It seemed simple but buried endless suffering. However, he still moved forward in pursuit of truth and justice, and revealed a dark history; the story is told very compactly and the rhythm is mastered. It is also very suitable. The theme of the murder case did not use the traditional story technique of economic interests as the factor behind it, and it was completely impossible to know from the early pilot films that it turned out to be a crime committed by Germany during World War II. From the perspective of the filming party Look, to face up to this history is the necessary premise to tell this story.

Several confrontations between the defense lawyer and the defendant in the interview room gradually revealed the case, and the defense lawyer and the prosecution lawyer argued several times at the trial scene, which made the plot reversed several times, which was quite thrilling and at a critical juncture. Everyone chooses to stand in the perspective of justice and expose the darkness, whether it has anything to do with them or not.

In Germany's case law system, as long as there is a single case, it will lead to many follow-ups. That bill clearly became a shelter for high-ranking Nazi officials. They did not get the punishment they deserved. There was too much discussion about why such a bill could be produced at that time. The investigation is understood as the limitation of the law in the time dimension and the limitation of human cognition; and the law cannot tolerate going through the motions. When he first appeared on the screen, he was a newcomer who had just entered the legal profession. It was not a formal court appearance, but the lawyer prepared it very formally, and being ridiculed by his peers was a little nervous.

The film focuses on depicting the relationship between many of the characters, the defense lawyer and his father, from the coincidental meeting at the funeral party to the reconciliation at the back, during which the thinking of both parties changed, and the father admitted his mother's relationship. The disagreement is also due to the extraordinary ability that his father has acquired by taking care of the bookstore all the year round; the defense lawyer and the victim (also called his adoptive father), a person who took care of him when he was a teenager, grew up and studied abroad, and his own life. The father is no different, and the defense lawyer and his adoptive father's daughter have developed a long-standing love relationship; the defense lawyer and his teacher, the professor, is the person who teaches and solves the puzzles in his legal studies, and also acts as a tit-for-tat court opponent. , and even more witnesses who testified in court, and the accomplice of the bill that was so salted at that time, who changed several identities, but still chose to have the courage to stand up and admit the shortcomings of the bill at that time; Small, etc.; everything is based on the various relationships of the central character, and in fact with many of the small characters in the film (the victim's housekeeper, the pizzeria's help girl, the German-Italian translation), etc.; There is also a confrontation between the victim and the defendant. An old man in his 60s treats an old man in his 80s. The two sides exchanged backgrounds, but they are both a scene of what happened at that time. The ultimate goal of revenge is not really. Vengeful man, time is gone.

The Germans' way of doing things is conveyed in many elements of the film. To understand the film's "things that are more than reasonable" from a Chinese perspective, the defendant adopted a more direct method. After the judiciary lost the prosecution period, Revenge after half a century; it is also reflected in architecture, an old courthouse, an old mansion, the interior decoration has evolved with the times but the frame structure is basically the same, a shot changes from a dark dungeon to a modern decoration trial The hall and the underground structure have been built at the beginning of the house, unlike the current domestic demolition and large-scale construction method, which allows foreign buildings to be preserved for decades and hundreds of years, becoming an all-round building that condenses history, characters and functions.
