There are only two kinds of childhood.
Lucky people are cured by childhood all their lives; unfortunate people heal childhood with a lifetime.
Some children are surrounded by love from birth, including the care and protection of their families, as well as the love of classmates and teachers, as well as various people they meet when they grow up.
And some children are not liked and expected from birth, and even parents will insult and beat children, and children ask for help, and they are not helped and protected.
If a child is domestically abused at the age of seven or eight, and you happen to know the beginning and end of it, will you help her or turn a blind eye?
Today we're going to talk about this movie, called—
"Little Client"
This is yet another film based on true events, and Korean movies seem to have been wary of people by adapting real events.
But countless cases have shown that this method simply does not work...
Is it the indifference of society or the distortion of human nature?
Duo Bin (Choi Myung Bin) and Min Joon (Lee Joo-won) live with their biological father, who is a dangerous figure in their eyes, and they are extremely afraid of their father and dare not mention their birth mother in front of him.
One day, the father brings home a woman and tells the siblings that Ji Sook (Yoo Sun) will be their mother from now on.
After living with their stepmothers, they are more afraid of their mothers than they are afraid of their fathers.
Because
Mothers have domestic violence against them.
Min Joon does not eat with chopsticks, and the vegetables always fall out everywhere, at this time, the mother took out the head rope and combed her hair.
Both siblings acted panicked.
The younger brother made a mistake and the older sister was punished.
Her sister had scars that could be seen with the naked eye, but she knew she could call the police, she could call a teacher for help, and neighbors and security guards knew she was abused.
However, the outsiders did not help her.
Mom knew she called the police and carried out a new round of domestic violence against her.
Zheng Ye (Lee Dong-fai) is a lawyer who only wants to succeed, but before he can get a new job offer, he temporarily works in a child welfare agency.
Duo Bin initially approached Zheng Ye for help, but Zheng Ye couldn't help but he wasn't as indifferent as the other adults, and he would take the sisters and brothers to play.
What's unexpected is that —
His younger brother Min Joon was mistaken by his stepmother and found out about stealing money, and his stepmother beat him to death when she beat him again.
Afterwards, her stepmother also asked her to admit that it was her brother who had killed her.
This matter has been in the news again, attracting the concern and accusations of countless people.
Duo Bin did not dare to tell the truth, and at the same time she no longer believed in people's help.
Lawyer Zheng Ye blamed himself when he found out, and ran around looking for evidence for their case.
However, the hope of overturning the case is very slim.
Whether it is the bystanders who have known the truth for a long time or the followers who have learned the truth at the end, what they did at the beginning made Duo Bin chill and could no longer trust the adults.
She didn't know if she was doing it wrong or if the adults were doing it wrong.
Because of this, when the lawyers and judges in the courtroom asked her to tell the truth of the matter, she did not dare to say a word, and looked nervously at her stepmother.
While people are blaming stepmothers, I want to say, why doesn't anyone blame the biological fathers of the siblings?!
He knew better than anyone the nature of his stepmother, and his cold-bloodedness, indulgence, and acquiescence killed his son.
Whether it is domestic violence or other violence, the probability of occurrence in South Korea is very large, and there are countless incidents that have attracted wide attention due to violent deaths.
For example, Choi Shirley, Kim Jong-hyun, who died of online violence, etc.;
Another example is the bullying incident of the South Korean girl group April, the bullying incident between former AOA member Kwon Min-eun and captain Shin Ji-min.
It is useless to shoot more films of this kind of subject to remind the society;
However, if you don't shoot then the vigilant people will be fewer;
At the very least, South Koreans are filming a dark and realistic society about domestic violence;
I believe that in the near future, because of their existence, it will always help social progress.
