How to comment on the movie “Law Abiding Citizen”?
I think a lot of people are saying that the ending is rotten. In fact, it’s just because you agree with the man’s way of doing things and feel that his personal hatred is justifiable for doing these things. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the man wants to end up like this( The form may be different, but he really wants someone to stop him, and he doesn’t want to live any longer.) Let’s talk about my opinion( I only watched the film once. Although I watched it carefully, there are some mistakes. Please correct them.) I don’t think the end of the film was intended to be a film for censorship. Many people think that what men hate is the judicial system. In fact, there are, but more of it is the omission of individuals in the system for the sake of their greater rights and interests and the indifference to life.
This is reflected in a conversation between the male leader and the prosecutor. When the prosecutor mentioned again the reason why the case was traded 10 years ago, the male leader said, “I can accept this, but you don’t even try“ In order to make their resume more brilliant, the black prosecutors ignored the legitimate demands of the victims’ families and chose a way that most people think is safe in the judicial game. In one scene, after the man killed a lot of people, the black prosecutor went back to look at the case of the man 10 years ago. Looking at the photos of the dead bodies of the man’s daughter and wife, he said, “he understands.”. It should be very clear here that the protagonist is to guide the relevant people in the system (not only the prosecutors) to understand that human life is priceless, and we can not tolerate criminals, let alone compromise in the slightest, otherwise more innocent people will be hurt. Don’t you understand the sermon? OK, I’ll make a demon for you. Just after he was arrested, the man himself said a lot of seemingly guilty words, and then he had the following sentence:
After reading the court debate, we can see that the male leader is actually using the system to ridicule the public, and does not really want to be acquitted. He defended himself. When “bail” was about to be approved, he scolded the judge again like “death”, to the effect that: “I am a vicious criminal, but now because of the lack of evidence and some of my sophistry, are you ready to release a villain like me“ Can’t you see it here? In fact, the male owner extremely hopes that justice will be done. Even if the villain has to go through the judicial process completely, he can’t ignore human life for the sake of preserving his reputation and wealth. Then he adopts a more appropriate way in the judicial circle and goes to base safely. All the players are happy, and the victims are only affected by all the consequences of this injustice. Later, the black prosecutor found the tunnel dug by the male owner. Some people say that this revenge, which has been planned for 10 years, should not be found so easily. Do you know how the prosecutor can get in and see the tunnel?
Yes, there’s nothing. It’s just breaking into houses. The prosecutor had begun to ignore all the legal rights of the man who, at least in his mind, was the criminal. At the end of the film, the man and the black man meet in the confinement room. The man knows what extent he finds out, and he certainly guesses that he uses extraordinary means, and the black man himself admits this. The man said, “I finally taught you. What do you think of me as a teacher“ In fact, this is also the original intention of the black prosecutor. He said at his subordinate’s funeral, “I once wanted to change the system. As a result, you let me go, and I let you go, I became the person who was changed by the system“ In fact, it’s also right whether the male Lord should die or not in the end, because even if his original intention is good, he has started to deviate from it. Maybe it’s also his intention to make himself a devil, because only killing a few criminals for revenge, people in this group system will not feel fear and will not reflect. Only by letting them lose their friends and relatives can they realize that they should pay attention to the lives of every innocent person. So when he turned himself into a demon, he didn’t want someone to stop him and end his evil. Many audiences subjectively think that what the man is doing is right, mainly because God sees a series of things that the man is doing from sympathy to worship. The Revenge of the man is a form of “justice”, but it is not what the society needs. The original intention of justice is the same as the original intention of male owners. They want to protect the rights and interests of every legitimate citizen and eliminate crime. It’s not perfect, but it can’t exist.
