Sasha watches episode 56 of the film series
Sasha's Latin American Film Journey, Episode 5 Of the Wild Tales.
This is an Argentine film made up of 6 short stories that are not related to each other. The theme of these 6 short stories is revenge, but in different forms.
Today we look at the 5th short story, suggested.
The story is very interesting, it's a grey comedy.
The white-haired uncle is a wealthy class in Argentina, with its own large company, mansion and designer car.
One day, while the couple was asleep at home, they were suddenly awakened by their tearful only son.
The 20-year-old was driving home drunk after a night in a bar and accidentally bumped into a pregnant woman.
He was drunk and confused, did not get out of the car to check, and fled directly back to the house.
When he got home, his son quickly woke up drunk and watched TV only to find that the pregnant woman was dead.
The son was in great pain, crying uncontrollably and overwhelmed.
Suddenly encountered such a big thing, the white-haired uncle did not know what to do, so he had to contact the company's lawyer. This lawyer has been a partner of the company for many years, and the white-haired uncle pays him a lot of money every year.
Interestingly, after the lawyer came, he did not persuade them to turn themselves in, but tried to help the white-haired uncle's son get rid of the crime.
According to his son, no one saw him driving the BMW, and he couldn't see what was inside the window from the outside.
Lawyers believe these points are very favorable, but there are likely witnesses at the scene, and the police will lock the car and sooner or later find the home.
Then, complete exoneration is impossible, at least one person has to bear the guilt.
Just when the house was in chaos, the white-haired uncle suddenly saw the old gardener who was watering in the yard.
The old gardener is not too old, probably around 50 years old. He was a rough man, a poor man, who had worked in this rich man's house for more than ten years. The old gardener's family was very poor, with many children, and he was the lowest level of Argentine society, belonging to the category of servants.
The white-haired uncle knew that the old gardener needed money very much, and he was still sincere, and suddenly he counted his heart.
The white-haired uncle first consulted with the lawyer, and after receiving a positive reply, he interviewed the old gardener.
The content of the conversation was simple, let the old gardener top the bag of this event. The old gardener wanted to claim that after drinking, he drove his owner's BMW for a ride without permission and accidentally bumped into someone.
The legal aspect is guided by a lawyer to ensure that the top bag will not be worn.
The lawyer believes that with the help of his own law, the matter will be classified as a traffic accident of drunk driving and jailed for only 2 years.
In return, Uncle Whitehead would give the old gardener $500,000.
In Argentina at that time, $500,000 was a lot of money that old gardeners could not earn in a lifetime.
Persuaded by the white-haired uncle and the lawyer, the old gardener agreed. For him, life was hopeless. Now as long as you go to jail for 2 years, you can exchange it for a huge amount of money, enjoy your old age, and benefit your family, of course, it is acceptable.
Under the direction of the lawyer, the old gardener began to fake the scene of drinking and driving.
Television continued to track the incident, and sure enough, witnesses saw the license plate number of the BMW.
It seems that the police will soon find the house, the white-haired uncle and the family are panicked, only the lawyer is very calm.
Television interviewed the husband of the pregnant woman who was killed. The husband is at the bottom of society and wears a very low grade. He was so grief-stricken that he declared that he must avenge his wife and the child in his belly.
Just as the lawyer arranged for his son to flee to the countryside, the police had already arrived at the door.
The middle-aged prosecutor entered the house first, and the lawyer immediately stood up to receive him, falsely claiming that he was about to report the case, and that the old gardener had hit and killed someone with his car.
However, the prosecutor is also a very shrewd person, and in three or two clicks he discovered the suspicious point and debunked the farce of their top bag.
According to the previous script, the prosecutor should angrily expose the conspiracy of the gang and arrest the white-haired uncle and the other three people together.
Surprisingly, the prosecutor did not do this, but pulled the lawyer away and talked to him privately.
Then, the lawyer found the white-haired uncle with a strange look. It turned out that the prosecutor was also a stolen official, and he needed a $1 million cover fee to ensure that the old gardener would be judicially determined to be the real culprit.
The white-haired uncle felt that 1 million yuan was too much, but the lawyer said that he also needed 500,000 US dollars in return.
The white-haired uncle was stunned, he gave the lawyer a lot of fees every year, how to collect extra money.
The lawyer believes that this time it is to exonerate the white-haired uncle's son, and if he wears the gang, he will be discredited and must get another high salary.
At this point, the white-haired uncle was unwilling in his heart, and he could only agree.
Unexpectedly, the old gardener next door also had a moth. Hearing this, the old gardener thought that he only got 500,000 yuan in prison, and the other two people got 1.5 million with their mouths, which was too much of a loss.
So the old gardener jumped out and sat on the ground, asking for an extra apartment by the sea, and needed at least two or three hundred thousand dollars.
All of a sudden, the white-haired uncle had to pay up to $2 million, plus a beachfront apartment.
Just when the white-haired uncle was hesitating whether to give money, the prosecutor and the lawyer could not wait to break in and began to consider the details.
At this time, the son suddenly burst in crying, asking one person to do things and one person to do things, take the initiative to turn himself in, and go to jail to atone for his sins.
The funny thing is that the lawyer and the prosecutor are adamantly preventing their son from turning himself in. Once the sons turn themselves in, they are unprofitable.
Here, the prosecutor, too, was a greedy ghost, once again demanding $30,000 in cash in person, saying that he would send a group of police officers at the door.
Seeing that he had become the meat of Tang Monk, the white-haired uncle finally couldn't bear it anymore and said that he would not pay a penny again.
The four of them quarreled fiercely and did not give in to each other.
The white-haired uncle angrily pointed out that the prosecutor had taken $1 million and could have taken $30,000 out of it to send others. Even $30,000 is reluctant to take it out, and prosecutors are too greedy.
The prosecutor was surprised to say he didn't get $1 million at all.
Apparently, the despicable lawyer who took the kickback in the middle, he was the one who took 1 million, and the prosecutor only got 500,000.
In this regard, the white-haired uncle was gagged for a while. Given that these people are all bastards, the future blackmail may be endless, and the white-haired uncle decisively declares that the transaction is void and nothing is left.
As for his son, the white-haired uncle thinks that he is self-inflicted and deserves to go to jail.
In fact, this is the strategy of the white-haired uncle. Originally, others thought that he was forced to stop the disaster for his son's wealth.
At this moment, the white-haired uncle made the appearance of not caring whether his son was dead or alive, and it was the turn of the lawyer and the three of them to be anxious.
The huge amount of money they didn't want to get flew away.
The lawyer hurriedly found the white-haired uncle to make a suggestion, saying that $30,000 did not need to be given, or according to 2 million yuan plus a beachfront apartment.
The white-haired uncle was very tough at the moment, saying that he would not make a deal and let the lawyer and his gang get out.
The lawyer was helpless and asked the white-haired uncle's wife to convince him. The lawyer believes that if it is confirmed that the son killed the pregnant woman, the white-haired uncle will also compensate the victim for a large amount of money.
But if the old gardener is to blame him, and he has no ability to compensate, the fine will be voided.
Instead of being fined and going to jail, it is better to give the money to the lawyers to help the son get rid of the crime.
At this moment, the white-haired uncle found out the other party's bottom card, and said strongly that the victim's family should have been compensated, even if the fine was huge, he also admitted.
The lawyer was embarrassed and angry, and accused the white-haired uncle of not paying attention to morality.
This kind of despicable villain also talks about morality, and the white-haired uncle can't help but laugh sneeringly, ridiculing the lawyer for being really an angel.
Sure enough, the lawyer's arrogance suddenly subsided.
After a while, he came in again and made a new proposal to uncle white hair. He only needs to give $1.5 million, not even a beachfront apartment.
The white-haired uncle still did not show weakness, and said strongly that he would only pay $1 million, with how the 3 of them went to divide. They either accept it or get out immediately!
The white-haired uncle proved to be very clever, and the old gardeners, lawyers, and prosecutors accepted the suggestion.
A dirty deal, just so it was.
Lawyers and prosecutors escorted the old gardener out of the mansion. The old gardener unconsciously looked back at the former master, and the white-haired uncle and his wife looked at them from a distance. Both sides have mixed feelings in their hearts.
Below, it should be performed according to the script set. The old gardener pleaded guilty, and the lawyer and prosecutor joined forces to help exonerate, and the three enjoyed $1 million.
The real perpetrator, the white-haired uncle's son, was all right and continued to enjoy a rich life. The victim's family did not receive a penny of compensation and died a relative, losing both people and money.
All fairness and justice was done by the $1 million.
At this time, there was an unexpected incident outside the script.
Just as the old gardener stepped out of the mansion gate, the victim's husband suddenly burst out of the crowd.
He attacked continuously with a murder weapon, killing the old gardener on the spot.
Thus, the whole drama ends.
Suggest that this story is interesting.
It's a dirty deal, and people who make all kinds of suggestions don't have a single good thing.
Uncle White's son is young, drinking and fooling, bumping into innocent pregnant women, one corpse and two lives, is really a bastard. But this young man still has remorse after all, and has said many times that he wants to turn himself in, but he was desperately stopped by others, and he did not succeed.
Compared to the accidental accident of his son's drunk driving, the rest of the people are much more despicable.
In order to exonerate his son, the white-haired uncle did not hesitate to bribe others to face the crime, so as to escape the huge compensation payable to the victim's family.
The lawyer is also a despicable villain, using this tragedy as a broker, circling between the police and the family that caused the crime, and maximizing his own personal gain.
If it weren't for the white-haired uncle and the prosecutor arguing, they wouldn't know that the lawyer was the one who took 1 million yuan, and the prosecutor and the old gardener just took 500,000 yuan each.
The lawyer is just a middleman, but he takes the main interest, and he is a very greedy guy.
Prosecutors are the most rubbish.
He should have upheld the law and exposed the conspiracy of uncle white hair and gang. However, prosecutors bend the law for personal gain, and after receiving black money, they have no shame to become an umbrella, knowing the law and breaking the law, and shielding crimes.
He ignored the plight of the victim's family as long as he could receive black money.
Relatively speaking, the old gardener is the weakest. He went to jail for two years for money, hoping to change the family environment. However, he is not a good kind. After discovering that everyone else had taken a lot of money, the old gardener also sat on the ground and asked for a beachfront apartment.
And revenge appears at the end, that is, the moment when the victim's husband smashes the old gardener to death.
However, there are actually many people who should be smashed to death, and the weakest old gardener has become unlucky.
Some believe that the killing of the old gardener will disrupt the group's plans and even make them regret it for the rest of their lives.
Sasha thinks it's impossible.
Even the killing of the old gardener was not necessarily a bad thing for the remaining three. After all, when a person dies, there is no proof of death, and the old gardener's family does not know the matter of the crime.
The gang could even rely on the money paid to the old gardener, who died in vain as another victim.
What does this story illustrate? Ordinary people's revenge on the rich is basically useless.
The rich have more social resources at their disposal, and even make you not know who to take revenge on.
