The film I'm going to introduce to you today is "Murder Without Guilty: The Coligny Case". For viewers who like crime dramas, many people have already seen this film.
After all, this film was released in Germany as early as 2019, and now it is only released in China for the first time on May 14.
In terms of scores and quality, Murder Not Guilty: The Coligny Case is an excellent book.
The audience's praise for this film focuses on the director's reflection on World War II, but there are not a few works reflecting on the war. This film has more obvious advantages compared with works of the same theme, such as the ingenious conception of the story and the harmonious development of the plot.
The story begins with a "secret room murder case". It is said that the murderer in the secret room is actually not difficult to catch. An old man who had been good to his neighbors all his life shot and killed a famous entrepreneur.
The male protagonist, Laining, is a fledgling lawyer. The entrepreneur who was killed was his adoptive father, who regarded the male protagonist as his own. The first contradiction in the
story was born from this. On the one hand, Lenin had to endure the pain caused by the murder of his adoptive father, and on the other hand, he had to defend for his father-killing enemy .
But after starting the defense, Leining encountered a series of difficulties. The murderer refused to reveal the motive of the murder to Leining, and the plaintiff's lawyer was a well-known lawyer whom Leining admired.
There are strong enemies outside, but the old man on his side does not cooperate. As a novice lawyer, Laining encountered a lot of setbacks when he first debuted, but the highlights of the film also began from here.
In order to investigate the ins and outs of the homicide , Laining digs deep into the past experience of the old man, and finally finds out the relationship between the victim and the old man.
It turned out that this case was a revenge. Today, the victim of an entrepreneur was an officer in World War II. The father of the murderer lost his life because of the victim's cruelty .
For decades, the old man did not let go of this grievance, but killed the enemy in a prepared opportunity.
Many people may think this story is unremarkable, and that is also because they do not understand how much the old man suffered in order to seek justice for his father.
This tragedy stemmed from an unfair law, which the male protagonist criticized in the ending. This law saved many people who committed crimes during World War II from punishment.
Lenin's opponent on the other side, the plaintiff's lawyer, also taught him everything. The plaintiff's lawyer, as Leining's former law professor, once again taught him how to draw a line between professional ethics and realistic ethics.
Just when the audience thought that Leining would perform a "Xiaobai overthrowing authority" clip, the professor took the initiative to find Leining and wanted to help him coordinate the judge, so that Leining could have a more appropriate solution.
The last piece of the story is heartwarming, Laining relied on this case to successfully get rid of Xiaobai's identity, the murder case was finally resolved, and those unfair things were also exposed in broad daylight. Whether it can really be solved is still unknown.
But in off-screen life, a few months after the publication of the original novel, Germany established a historical investigation committee to deal with public criticism, which shows the value of works of art.
Although many people have watched this film in advance through many channels, in my opinion, "Murder Without Guilty" is a work worthy of sitting in the cinema and watching it several times, whether it is progressive The plot of the story is still confusing and the direction of the story, I think these will be the content that an old audience desires.
