The Life of David Gore
The actor, David Gore (Kevin Spasi Kevin Spacey), is a death row prisoner of the famous general Voffa, who never accepts interviews, and suddenly appoints a female journalist from a well-known New York news magazine, Betsy Bloom (Kate Winslet), to be interviewed.
For three consecutive days, two hours a day, he expected female reporters to use these six hours of interviews to understand that David Gale's case was an unjust case.
The pseudo-victim in the play, Constance, is the leader of the abolitionist human rights group, and the protagonist, Gore, is the director of the Institute of Philosophy and a key player of the group, and the two are partners in promoting the abolition movement.
David is a philosophy professor, and the film features a scene of him lecturing at school. He said: "Fantasy must transcend reality, because the moment the fantasy comes true, you can no longer fantasize about it." In order to continue fantasizing, your desires must never be fulfilled. The point is not on what you fantasize about, but on the fantasy itself. Desire and crazy fantasies complement each other. You are truly happy only when you fantasize about the future. As we often say, the joy of fishing is 'fishing' rather than 'fishing'. Living in fantasy is not going to be happy. A real person should strive for goals and ideals. A person is measured not by how much his desires have been fulfilled, but by his character, such as sincerity, compassion, reason, and self-sacrifice.
They actively traveled around, participated in debate programs, and promoted the abolitionist movement to be frustrated, and during gayle's televised debate with the governor of Texas, the governor asked Gayle if he could prove which death penalty case during his tenure was an unjust case, and he could immediately postpone the execution of the case and retry it, but Gayle could not answer...
Later, Gail was framed and involved in the student sexual assault case, his wife and daughter lost everything, Andconstans also suffered from blood cancer at the end of the time, since he finally died, it was better to simply dedicate himself to the abolition movement as a sacrifice, so the two planned this fake unjust suicide case, hoping to abolish the death penalty...
Gayle was sentenced to death on charges of sexually assaulting and killing his friend Constance, and was only confirmed to be innocent after the law.
The creation of the story makes this case appear to be an unjust case on the surface, but the undisclosed truth is that the abolition supporters use radical martyrdom methods, that is, "suicide", to fake the unjust imprisonment of death row prisoners, in order to create a controversy over the existence of the death penalty!
However, all this is basically a hoax, a martyrdom record calculated by the abolitionist group, advocating the abolition of the death penalty in such a radical and distorted way, and I cannot sympathize with it at all, let alone do the same. The lawyer is not God, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, nor is you Jesus, who can atone for all sins and forgive every criminal in place of every victim.
David said, "I've spent my whole life trying to stop death. But how much do we know about death? Because no one came back. But at some point in life, when your mind transcends desire and ceases to be addicted, when your habits defeat your dreams, when you lose, death may be a gift. ”
David Gore, after using the breakfast his son had expected, calmly went to his death, pushing forward the abolition of the death penalty (although it was immoral to use people as a means in Kant's moral individualism), Socrates embarked on a "happy adventure" after drinking celery juice, and Betsy Bloom finally got a tape of the truth, and some relief in his heart, in this sense, they all received a key to freedom, redemption and happiness in tragic movies and lives.
Bessie herself put on handcuffs and hoods to do her own experiments, proving that people must struggle when they are about to suffocate, and Constance in the videotape has not struggled all the time, suspecting that Constance is just committing suicide: like David, she is also a fanatic of the abolition of the death penalty, she is already in the late stage of leukemia, if she is going to die anyway, why not do something more meaningful? But the question arises again, if she is committing suicide, then why is she plotting to frame her best friend?
I believe that if you make a mistake, you should have a corresponding punishment, although the law also talks about human feelings, sincere repentance, apology and compensation, in order to have the opportunity to obtain forgiveness from victims, victims' families, and the public. But how can the victims of the victims lose their precious lives? Malicious harm to the innocent, killing people to pay for their lives is justified! Even if you regret self-blame and change your ways.
He who is still to be paid before righteousness. I really can't agree with these social activists who insist on abolishing the death penalty, who are talking about many philosophies of life as their arguments, and who stand on the supreme moral peak and talk about the civilized ideal of abolishing death, and no one is qualified to forgive criminals for the victims! I fully support the execution of those who commit serious crimes.
