"No need"! What do these three words remind you of? Yue Fei? Qin Hui? framed? unfair? To this day, we are all complaining about Yue Fei: Yue Fei is not only innocent, but he has made great contributions to the Lord, but he was given death. This is obviously a false accusation and frame-up! And Qin Hui, the culprit of this unjust case, has always been cast aside by the world. However, calm down and think about it: Even if Qin Hui wanted to frame Yue Fei, would he be able to get away with "unnecessary" reasons? Could it be that Zhao Gou, who was the emperor, took the post of Qin Hui and did something wrong? In fact, Zhao Gou was the one who framed Yue Fei! It was Yue Fei's determination to destroy gold and his loyalty to resist gold that made Zhao Gou kill - Yue Fei always said that he would go straight to Huanglong and welcome back the Second Sage. This made Zhao Gou very embarrassed: the two saints are back, one is his father, the other is his brother, can Zhao Gou still be the emperor? , Do your best! This kind of good person who benefits the country and the people is what all Song Dynasty people look forward to. Did Yue Fei do something wrong?
Of course Yue Fei did nothing wrong! However, because he touched the fundamental interests of those in power, he was not only wrong, but also brought a fatal disaster! Yue Fei's experience reminds me of the robin in the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird", this kind of bird that neither spoils the garden nor harms the crops, but can sing for us, but innocently becomes a gun bearer A target to practice shooting and show off marksmanship! The reason is simple: because they have guns! To Kill a Mockingbird is a film directed by Robert Mulligan and starring Gregory Peck, based on Harper Lee's novel of the same name. The film won the 35th Academy Award. The film tells the story of a black man named Tom who was falsely accused of rape, although defense attorney Atticus restored the truth of the case and presented Tom's innocence evidence, but because of his black identity, the jury finally gave Tom guilty conclusion. The trumped-up charges led to a desperate Tom trying to escape and was shot dead. This is a symbolic film! The film expresses its symbolic meaning with a seemingly understatement: Atticus says to his two children: "I'd rather let you shoot cans in the backyard! But remember, thousands of Never shoot a robin. To kill a robin is a crime. Robins don't do anything bad, they don't eat flowers and vegetables grown in people's yards, and they don't build nests in barns, just Sing to our heart's content, so it is a crime to kill a robin." The robin symbolizes those who do their duty, and the gun symbolizes a kind of power. When people have guns - power, how do they use guns?
Let's review the actions of the three types of people in the film: 1. Bob: used the "gun" of "racism" to kill innocent Tom Bob, the bottom of the white team, living on welfare, Poor and down-to-earth, alcoholic, lazy, and scolding children. Such a father, after discovering that his daughter failed to seduce black Tom, immediately called the police, claiming that Tom raped his daughter. Afterwards, he beat his daughter severely; in order to recover his face, he also induced his daughter to give false testimony in court, accusing Tom of raping her, so as to achieve the purpose of putting Tom to death. Being at the bottom of the whites and being despised by other whites, Bob, who is so unbearable, still discriminates against blacks. In order to win the support of public opinion, he spread the sensitive topic of "black people rape white women" everywhere, touched the sensitive nerve of "racial discrimination" of other white people, and used this as a weapon to attack Tom.
2. Jury members: Use the "gun" of the "jury" to help the tyrant and convict the innocent Tom. The jury in the United States is usually composed of 12 people, and decides whether the suspect is guilty or not through the determination of the facts of the case. The jury members in the film already knew the truth of the case when Atticus lawyers questioned the plaintiff and the defendant: Mayella took the initiative to seduce Tom, Tom refused, and there was no rape at all. Mayella's injuries to her neck and neck were the work of her father, Bob, who is left-handed, not Tom, who is disabled in his left hand. Ignoring the above facts, the jury, without the doctor's proof of being sexually assaulted and any evidence, just to safeguard the privileges of white people, found innocent Tom guilty, and Tom Wang was shot and killed because he desperately wanted to escape from prison. If Bob wants to get rid of Tom is just an idea, then the members of the jury are definitely accomplices in the mischief. The same people, whether Bob or the members of the jury, persecuted black Tom only because of his white race, disregarding his human rights and life, and put him to death. It's just the difference in skin color, and Tom is distrusted and framed. Ironically, in stark contrast to the lazy white Bob, who is hard-working, kind, and dutiful, he has become a victim of prejudice and discrimination. Also white, what did lawyer Atticus do with the gun in his hand?
3. Atticus the lawyer: Use the "gun" of the lawyer to get justice and justice After the black Tom was accused of assaulting and raping a white woman, the court asked Atticus to defend him. Although many objected, he agreed. As a lawyer, he hopes to fight with legal means, trying to maintain justice and protect the weak in the most powerful way. When everyone was reluctant to defend black people, in an environment with great prejudice against black people, and being misunderstood and ridiculed by the people in the town, he still insisted on defending Tom. A person with a conscience is a lawyer with a sense of justice and responsibility! When his daughter asked if Atticus would win in defending black people, Atticus said, "No way, baby. But we can't just give up trying to win just because we've been defeated in the past 100 years." He told the child: No To hold a grab in hand is to be brave. Courage is knowing you're doomed before you even start, but doing it without hesitation, and sticking to it no matter what happens. In Atticus we see true bravery! It is such a conscience, a sense of justice, a sense of responsibility, and a brave Atticus who has the courage to disregard the opinions of others, attack verbally and ruthlessly ridicule, and dare to use meticulous Analysis and professional defense skills challenge and smash the plaintiff's false accusation, let the truth be revealed to the world, and bring justice to the world!
Written at the back: There is no need for it, it is the rule of the game for the powerful during the feudal monarchy period, "the monarch asks the minister to die." We can only sigh helplessly except for Yue Fei's injustice. In the United States in 1931, even if there was a "Constitution", even if there was a jury, even if there was a lawyer who served justice, innocent Tom was still framed and guilty. The appearance of "unnecessary" only stemmed from racial discrimination. For human rights and life prejudice, visible prejudice is more terrible than ignorance! As a good lawyer, Atticus should have foreseen such an outcome. What is valuable is that Atticus had foreseen that Tom might be convicted when he began to defend Tom, but he still respected and trusted the black Tom, collected evidence, observed carefully, and was calm and calm in court. The truth of the case was restored, and the lawyer's sense of responsibility and sense of justice made everyone understand that Tom was innocent, and it was racial discrimination that made Tom, a black man, carry an "unwarranted" charge. If Tom can hold on to his appeal, he might have a chance to win and be acquitted. Just think: if Atticus had not defended Tom, let alone no one would have defended Tom, then the truth of the case would not have been revealed to the world, and Tom would have been convicted of rape, a crime he never committed, would it not be even more so? injustice? Thanks Atticus, let us see a ray of light in the infinite darkness, let us believe: justice may be late, but it will never be absent!
