After reading "Article 20", you will understand that Zhang Yimou, a quasi-old man, is very powerful! In the macro "big theme" of justice, he found three relatively typical case types and told them in the most resonant way for the public. 
The slightly lively light comedy atmosphere easily puts the stories that should be boring in front of the audience, drives the audience to think, and well adjusts the balance between commercial films and reality films, especially the finishing lines, which are really impressive. 
1 "The law is right, so who is at fault? This is the most thought-provoking line in the "Article 20" school bullying case, and when I saw this, I was a little overwhelmed by a mature man. 
In the storyline of school bullying, there are two groups, one is the children of the person concerned, and the other is the parents of the child. First of all, Han Yuchen, as a defender, fought against the bullies led by Zhang Ke, in fact, the "right and wrong" of this group of children is very obvious, that is, Zhang Ke, these bullies, are not wrong for other children to bully the weak, and Han Yuchen is not wrong to come forward to defend them. 
Although this storyline does not dig deep into Zhang Ke's bullying of these people, it can be seen that they are "habitual offenders" at school, and bullying is not an accidental phenomenon, so does Han Yuchen, as an insider, have other solutions to solve it? For example, telling teachers, parents, and even calling the police to deal with it, and assisting him in solving bullying cases, but Han Yuchen in the movie finally chose a heroic way to solve it, and finally he was retaliated against. 
I don't deny the spirit of young people who act bravely, but this way will bring some harm to themselves and their families, and I personally think that we should be cautious. 
Another group is the parents of Han Yuchen and Zhang Ke, Han Ming and his wife Li Maojuan, who are on temporary duty in the city procuratorate, knew that their son was beaten, and they were first filled with righteous indignation. 
But in the process of the boy's fight, because of Han Yuchen's shot, Zhang Ke's nose bone was broken and caused a slight injury, and Zhang Ke's parents reported the case, which seemed to be Han Ming's child again. 
What's worse is that the bullied classmates did not come forward to testify for Han Yuchen, and in the end, the consequences of injuring the classmates need to be borne by Han Yuchen and his parents, and the whole bullying story is like that line, which is aggrieved and annoying to watch. 2 "Is my father guilty? Is the verdict against him fair? This is a sentence that Zhang Guisheng's daughter asked Han Ming, and it is also the sentence that made Han Ming speechless. 
This case is very short and does not occupy much space in the movie, but the case is very typical, it is about Zhang Guisheng, a bus driver, who stepped forward to help the *** worker get injured because he saw someone insulting the girl on the bus. 
The final verdict was that his starting point was to do good deeds, but in the end he was going to go to prison, this case has always been handled by Han Ming, he started from a legal point of view, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no problem from the role of the law. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this case is unreasonable from beginning to end, so Zhang Guisheng insisted on petitioning until he died in a car accident.
When his daughter was heartbroken, she told Han Ming that she believed in the law, but her father paid the price for upholding justice.
I was very uncomfortable watching the whole case, and I thought about what I should do if I encountered the situation at that time. If you turn a blind eye, it is obvious that you can't get over it on your conscience; If you go to help the girl beat the person to death, you will go to prison, difficult! It's hard! 3 "Law cannot give way to lawlessness." The final story is Hao Xiuping's family played by Zhao Liying, and it is also the climax of the whole movie, and the good and evil in the story are also very clear.
Liu Wenjing is a "bully" in the village, and I didn't have much feeling about this quasi-official adjective at first, but after watching the movie, I found that this word used on the landlord Lao Cai before liberation can describe this person's evil.
Wang Yongqiang of the village borrowed a loan shark from this bully in order to treat his daughter's illness, but he did not know that this loan was the beginning of all the nightmares for the family. Because he couldn't pay the money, he locked Wang Yongqiang in a dog chain, forced Wang Yongqiang to drink urine, and forced his wife in front of him.
But since Liu Wenjing is called a bully, he naturally has forces behind him. His father and village chief pressured the case, and also targeted Hao Xiuping, who is hearing-impaired, and her disabled children to change their confessions.
In the end, Hao Xiuping was forced to choose to jump off the building, this ending is the most unbearable for me, this story has almost reached the scale of Korean drama revenge dramas, the powerful chaebol has been changed to a village bully, and all kinds of bullying are unimaginable in a normal society under the rule of law. Regarding Hao Xiuping's suicide by jumping off the building, many people said that she was stupid, but in fact she was forced to a dead end, if she had contacted someone around her to rescue her, their family would not have suffered so much.
Her suicide by jumping off a building was not simply to die, but also to let her death arouse social attention, and to seek justice for herself and her husband with death, which is the most helpless sorrow.
The whole movie, whether it is the realistic theme that Zhang Yimou wants to express, or the comedy elements required for the Spring Festival, are quite well balanced, and the micro state and humanistic feelings of society can be seen in the details.
Therefore, the national teacher is still the national teacher, a movie that says the word does not have a strong didactic meaning, and the plot is deeply imprinted, it is not an exaggeration to classify "Article 20" as a good movie.
