Released during the Spring Festival in the Year of the DragonArticle 20", the box office has reached 11 within a few days of its release5.6 billion yuan.
I went to see this movie, not because of the box office, but because two friends went to see it, and they both said it was good, or "very good".
Regarding the title of the film, Article 20
The title of the film "Article 20" is derived from Article 20 of China's Criminal Law. Article 20 of the Criminal Law is a provision on legitimate defense, and the full content is as follows:
Where an act taken to stop an unlawful infringement is taken in order to protect the state, the public interest, or the person, property, or other rights of oneself or others from an ongoing unlawful infringement, and causes damage to the unlawful infringer, it is justified defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.
Where legitimate defense clearly exceeds the necessary limit and causes major harm, criminal responsibility shall be borne, but punishment shall be commuted or waived.
Anyone who takes defensive action against an ongoing crime, homicide, robbery, kidnapping, or other violent crime that seriously endangers personal safety, causing an unlawful offense, is not considered to be in excessive defense and does not bear criminal responsibility. ”
To put it simply, Article 20 of the Criminal Law stipulates that certain actions may be taken to stop an ongoing unlawful offense, and that any damage caused to the wrongdoer is justified defense. Justifiable self-defense is not criminally responsible. However, if the justifiable defense clearly exceeds the necessary limit and causes significant damage, it shall be liable. If a person is committing a crime, homicide, robbery, kidnapping, or other violent crime that seriously endangers personal safety, and takes defensive actions to cause an unlawful offender, he shall not bear criminal responsibility.
The movie "Article 20" revolves around the choices and breakthroughs shown by prosecutor Han Ming in handling the case of bus driver blocking **, the case of his son Han Yuchen being bullied on campus, and the case of Wang Yongqiang being stabbed by the aggressor because his wife was **, which is reflected through the specific professional roles of prosecutors Lu Lingling and Han Ming".The law cannot yield to lawlessnessTopic.
The difficulty of upholding fairness and justice
Zhang Guisheng is a bus driver, on the bus he was driving, two men ** and a female passenger, Zhang Guisheng came forward to prevent being beaten by two men, and one of them was injured in the resistance, and was convicted of intentional injury, and has insisted on appealing since he was released from prison. Sadly, at the insistence of her daughter, she planned to go to Beijing for the last time, but died in a traffic accident on the way to petition.
Han Yuchen, the son of prosecutor Han Ming, was bullied by Zhang Ke, the son of the director of education, on campus, and fractured the bridge of the nose of the son of the director of education in the resistance. The dean insisted that Han Yuchen apologize. Faced with the possibility of her son being detained, his wife Li Maojuan took out Moutai and asked Han Ming to give it to the teaching director. When his son was called by Zhang Ke again and beaten by thugs, Han Ming, as a prosecutor, heard his son, "Dad, this time I didn't fight back as you said." I'm afraid of how helpless I am.
Wang Yongqiang has a deaf and dumb wife and daughter, because he wanted to treat his daughter and borrowed a loan shark, he was locked out of the door by Liu Wenjing, who was a loan shark, but his wife was in the house by Liu Wenjing, Liu Wenjing went out and threatened to come again in the future. Wang Yongqiang faced the silent despair of his wife's "can't live", went out and scuffled with Liu Wenjing, Liu Wenjing went to the car to get a knife and threatened to kill Wang Yongqiang, Wang Yongqiang went home and brought scissors to stab Liu Wenjing. Wang Yongqiang**, Liu Wenjing's father led a group of people to chase and intercept Wang Yongqiang's wife Hao Xiuping, kidnap her daughter Juanjuan, and forced Hao Xiuping to sign the statement of "voluntary sexual relations" that had been written.
I can't help but say how difficult it is for an ordinary person to protect his rights and interests in reality. As prosecutor Lu Lingling shouted to Han Ming:Why Hao Xiuping jumped off the building is her desperation and the rule of lawFair despair, if we can't rekindle hope for this mother, what right do we have to wear this garment
I have also been practicing law for almost 20 years and am deeply convinced of this. I have done itIn the case of Yang et al. v. Wang, a construction contract dispute, Yang et al. sued Wang as the actual builder to demand that Wang pay for the exterior wall insulation and painting project. When the defendant Wang found me, the case had been tried four or five times in the court of first instance, and the project money involved had been assessed by the appraisal agency at more than 2.2 million yuan. After accepting the commission, I consulted all the case file materials several times, repeatedly reviewed the audio and video recordings of each trial, carefully analyzed the assessment report, raised objections to the assessment report in a timely manner, applied for the assessor to appear in court, and finally overturned the assessment report. After careful analysis, it was found that the supply orders and inspection materials submitted by Yang as evidence in the case were either stubs for the parties to be asked for in the lawsuit, or they were obtained from the relevant authorities, and the certificates submitted were also false. Imagine, if it weren't for the serious work and the patient listening of the judge, Wang was sentenced to bear a debt of more than 2 million, how long would it take for Wang to pay off the "unjust debt"; If you bear such a grievance, your life's happiness may be buried.
Amazing perseverance
In the case of Wang Yongqiang, prosecutor Lu Lingling insisted on finding the knife that Liu Wenjing put on the car, and did not hesitate to offend the public security organs, took Hao Xiuping to find witnesses, and was finally suspended; Prosecutor Han Ming faced Liu Wenjing's father, Liu Bingren, with a group of people chasing and intercepting witnesses, and taking out the identity of the martyr's family to create ** pressure; The higher-level leaders were pressured to file a public prosecution, and the deputy chief procurator in charge made it clear that Wang Yongqiang would be held accountable, and hinted that if Han Ming did as instructed, he could remain in the city procuratorate. In the face of difficulties and **, he finally chose to stick to his independent judgment and believed that Wang Yongqiang was not guilty. A passage from his speech at the hearing, which was full of blood boiling and echoed in his ears for a long time:
If justice is a sin, will anyone still see injustice? ”
What is the authority of the law? It is the expectation of the people! ”
The law should make it more expensive for bad people to commit crimes, not more expensive for good people to do it. Otherwise, what kind of world will we give to our children? ”
The law is the principle of heaven, the law of the country, and the favor of the people. ”
I don't believe in the law of the land without heavenly principles, nor do I believe in the heavenly principles without human feelings. ”
The Dharma will never give in to lawlessness. ”
