But the best film of the year may have already been booked for "Article 20"!
It's only been a few days since the movie was released, and many people have already gone to watch it for the second time. Some people watched it by themselves but didn't enjoy it, and they took the elderly and children, relatives and friends, and the viewing team was huge.
What's even more rare is that a lot of tap water is volunteering to promote this film made for the people, and it is not uncommon for many comments praising "Article 20" as worth watching repeatedly. Among the tap water, there is one person who has the most eye-catching impression. Teacher Luo Xiang! Teacher Luo Xiang spent 12 minutes ** to share his road to law popularization, and also commented on the film in depth from his own professional perspective
He mentioned that it was only after he published an article related to Article 20 of the Criminal Law that he realized that "popularizing the law is meaningful and valuable, and the people are so eager for legal knowledge", and this is also the original intention of director Zhang Yimou to shoot the realistic work "Article 20"!
In addition to being good-looking, the movie can also make people think deeply, and the popularization of law is carried out through vivid cases, without being blunt. Therefore, the enthusiastic audience stood up to correct some of the remarks that underestimated Article 20 in a timely manner, and true love is undoubted.
Speaking of being underrated, what is so good about this movie? Or what stands out the most? The first point I have to say is that director Zhang Yimou has come out of the circle again with this "Article 20". The realistic theme, dare to think and shoot, close to reality, is easily reminiscent of some real cases. Moreover, it is so down-to-earth, funny and crying, it is difficult not to love.
So, what kind of values does this movie convey? First of all, the film lets us know that we have "laws to follow". Many times the law will make people sad and helpless, but director Zhang Yimou completely sees this most real public opinion and does not shy away from it. He dissected 3 cases with us, and with the tortuous process and happy ending, he once again made us believe in justice and believe that the right thing should be done no matter what, because there is a law for us.
Secondly, and it is also a more critical point, the cases in ** can make people find the shadow of similar cases in real life. This not only increases the credibility of the case and its follow-up processing, but also makes people sigh that director Zhang Yimou is really extraordinary, and he gnaws on this hard bone for a theme that ordinary people don't dare to try.
The three cases, covering topics including school bullying, kidnapping and debt collection, and public harassment, are all cases that abound in daily life and are easy for people to resonate with and feel a sense of substitution.
On the one hand, several lines appear at the same time, and the multi-line narrative increases the watchability of the film. On the other hand, and more importantly, these stories are not only about the phenomenon of the case itself, but also about the essence behind the case, trying to make people ask and reflect by restoring the mental journey of the characters.
For example, in the school bullying incident, Lei Jiayin's son in the movie was the one who saw his classmates being bullied and stepped forward to stop it, but he faced the risk of being sued. Moreover, the father, who is a lawyer, does not approve of his son's radical actions to protect his classmates, as if in his world, school bullying needs to be slowed down, and it is more important for his son to beat the children of the leader. It's normal to stop bullying, but is it really right to see that those who act bravely should be spurned and held accountable for legitimate defense?
In the long run, of course, school bullying will continue to be banned. But fortunately, the light of human nature will not be extinguished, and the mother's sentence "My son is justice" is the attitude that the family and this society should have towards defenders, and it has also loosened the cold law.
Ma Li's question in the movie is also a question for many people, which makes people sigh, what's wrong with this world? On the other hand, when the bus driver in the film acts bravely, but the harassed passengers are sentenced instead, there is similar confusion.
Such a verdict makes us ordinary people dare not take action again, how many people dare to risk their own harm to protect the interests and safety of others? In particular, when the results are not satisfactory, I am afraid that the attitude of most people is to turn a blind eye. It is this silent connivance that fuels the arrogance of the wicked and makes the cost of evil low.
In the film, the experience of Zhao Liying's family playing Hao Xiuping fully illustrates the significance of the law's adherence to the bottom line to ordinary people. A woman with a physical disability, a kidnapped child, and a husband imprisoned for resisting the bullying of loan sharks, she chooses to die for nothing but despair. Since "Article 20" wants to popularize the law, it does not avoid these practical problems in the slightest, and through the experience of Hao Xiuping's family, the film gradually pulls the contradiction between law and love to a climax.
As a lawyer, if we can't rekindle hope in a desperate situation, then my world will be bleak. The film uses the mouth of the police officer played by Gao Ye to say those simple but powerful words, which are particularly moving. "We are not handling cases, but their lives." Such an understanding not only makes judicial work more sacred, but also allows many legal workers who stick to the front line to continue to convey positive beauty to the outside world.
It can be said that looking at how badly Hao Xiuping's family was bullied, how heartbreaking I and the rest of the audience cried in front of the screen, and finally when we were able to keep the clouds open and see the clouds, our hearts were so open.
From looking at the case to slowly relieving it, Article 20 tells us in a unique way: when we are bullied, whether it is to take action ourselves or to help others, we should take action when it is time to do it. The laws related to justifiable defense will continue to improve and serve as your strong backing.
Perhaps you have different feelings about Article 20, welcome to discuss it in the message area. But I believe one thing is certain, that is, this movie is worth watching, watching it repeatedly, two or three times, let's go!
