Today is still to take you back to Kevin Spacey's movie, recently sharing fungus is also watching his starring in the American drama "House of Cards", and when you look back, I will introduce it to you, today is still based on the movie "The Life of David Gore" starring him.
Released in 2003, the film tells the story of David Gore, a philosophy professor who is actively committed to abolishing the death penalty, who was sentenced to death on suspicion of raping and killing a female colleague, and the journalist Betsy tries to find out the truth in the last three days before the death penalty.
The film adheres to kevin Spacey's consistently high standards, although from the point of view of the award, the film only won the nomination for the best film at the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival Golden Bear Award, but more than a decade later, the film still has a Douban score of 8.6, which also shows that the quality of this film is not low.
Although the story is the process of female journalist Betsy's search for the truth, the film does not design many suspense elements, but directly lets the audience understand the pursuit of the death penalty by philosophy professor David Gore and his female colleagues, and the efforts of the two for this matter.
It is learned from the film that David Gore was sentenced to death for raping and killing his female colleague, but his female colleague has already suffered from leukemia, and he himself has been discredited by false accusations of rape by female students, and has lost his family and job.
And as the reporter's investigation reveals that he is not guilty, the question arises: "David Gore" himself knows from beginning to end that he has been framed.
The answer is yes, the lawyer he chose deliberately did not mitigate his crime, and his friends also fell for him in court, and the purpose of his hiring of female journalists was not to save himself, he just hoped that his children would know the truth about his father's innocence, so he made up his mind to die at the beginning.
In a game with the governor, the governor asked him if there was a real case of the death penalty incarceration, he was dumbfounded, and this rape and murder case was his and his colleagues' response to the governor, and they also led the local opposition to the death penalty with their own sacrifices.
The film uses the sacrifice of innocent people to make people think about the meaning of death and life, and the argument in the film is that the death penalty itself has no meaning, it will only bring more pain, but there are not many people who support it at this point, so the argument of David Gore and his colleagues becomes that the death penalty may kill innocent people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > talk about the death penalty:</h1>
After watching this movie, the audience can not help but think about the meaning of the existence of the death penalty, there is a saying that existence is reasonable, the survival of prisoners in prison will waste a lot of social wealth, and the cost of the death penalty is very low, so the use of the death penalty can save a lot of financial budget.
From the perspective of people's hearts, most of the death row inmates are serious crimes, which will cause the public to resent after the media reports, so the death penalty will make the people feel that they deserve it, and they will not consider how this person became like this and whether he can be reformed, which leads to the act of removing the death penalty will not get much support.
The risk of executing innocent people mentioned in the film does exist, although the odds are very low, but if this happens to themselves, everyone must think of canceling the death penalty and leaving time to prove their innocence, but everyone usually does not think so.
Therefore, although the sharing fungus admires the dedication and sacrifice shown in the film, it does not support the closure of the death penalty, and all kinds of literature or film and television works can always see that the felons are difficult to integrate into society after a long prison, even if they are released from prison, and eventually they will commit crimes again and go to prison. Although there are also people who have reformed, from everyone's point of view, they still don't like those who are released from prison.
This movie makes people think of death and life, everyone will have their own understanding after watching it, and if you have time, you may wish to watch this movie and think about the value of life.
