When they see us, there is already a consequence

There is no justice with a biased presumption and a collapsed system.

He claims to be a very receptive person. After watching half of Part 1, I feel so uncomfortable that I can't read it anymore. It is a feeling of powerlessness, despair and anger.

Those children around 14 years old, in an environment that should have been protected, were "presumed guilty" and "extorted by torture" because of their skin color. They simply couldn't resist. Don't talk about resistance, even at that moment, you weren't treated as a person, right? Just like the word "animals" used in the movie, maybe this is not a metaphor at all. It is those people who truly believe that they have the truth, judge like gods, and fabricate all kinds of evidence for their conclusions.

At the same time, it is uncomfortable to see the operation of this judicial system, and let people know the importance of procedural justice, the hazard of excessive investment power, and the necessity of judicial review. Unlike organs, which have absolute advantages, there is basically no way to protect any individual rights on their own, which also requires a macro-design of the system. The questions of procedural justice and result justice that have been considered before seem to have answers.

There was no savior in the show until the end. All the children are in a passive position from start to finish, and even in the end, they are wronged because of the "conscience" of the real perpetrator. Those who participated in the investigation at the beginning, in the end, did not want to admit that they made a mistake. It is really amazing, man! During the 6-14 years of prison life, the powerlessness and despair before and after, from the beginning to the end, this drama will not let people see it cool.

At the last time, there will be tears of touch, for the brave boys, they no longer admit that they have not done things, at least they are finally for themselves.

    I also think it's more meaningful than the plot. I'm sick of seeing black political correctness. .
