heavy justice

justice, justice.
jus, law.
Jus is the root of justice.
In this way, justice is a law. In fact, it is not so much a belief in law, but a belief in justice. What is just is what is in accordance with the law, and the law needs to be manifested through justice.

But "belief" itself has some inexplicable things in it. Hence the so-called "superstition". When all beliefs are attributed to superstition, then "faith" itself is subverted. The external "faith" has lost its foundation, and God has died, so what needs to be manifested is the power of man, the inner creation of man. "Faith" has been quietly transformed into "trust". Except for the things created by people themselves, there is nothing to be trusted.
As a result, justice and jus, which were once believed in, have become "law" and "rule of law" that need to be new.

Law is a man-made creation, and it needs trust to have a foundation. However, with the intervention of state power, "trust required" has gradually changed into "must be trusted", and further, "trust" has been put on the cloak of "belief". It should be noted that people's beliefs were originally based on "justice", but at this time, the law has put this layer of justice on itself. Justice is not manifested through the law, but the law is the manifestation of justice.
Therefore, when the law has nothing to do with sin, it also means that justice is blocked.

So justice suddenly becomes shackled and heavy. Just like the works of sculpture, if you only focus on the shape and not on the gods, then the unparalleled handed down products will end up being nothing but a pile of high-quality materials. But suddenly, this sculpture cannot exist without this pile of materials, because myths are no longer circulated, poetry is no longer sung, and other than this kind of solidified works, it is difficult to find other forms of expression.
When justice and law want to conflict, who is the real holder of jus, this may be the code to unlock the heavy chain, but this code is hidden in the void somewhere.

    The seriousness and depression of the new version let us say goodbye to the playful Belgian detective ~ but the thinking about law and justice makes Poirot more like a real person ~ the guarantee of the quality of the British adaptation!

    Thanks to David for his wonderful performance, his micro expressions did not disappoint me. The other actors are also collected from the previous classic version. The only thing missing is that in just one and a half hours, some plots are sublimated, and some plots are hidden. It is the best choice to read the old version first and then the new version, so as to understand the forced revisions made by the director to the original. Also, understanding is understanding, but Papa Polo is religious, too. . . . . . . . . .
