Overview of the film: The Miracle of Cell No.7 tells the story that in 1997, Li Longjiu, a mentally retarded man with an IQ of only 6 years old, and his lovely and filial daughter lived together. Although he is poor, he is happy. One day, Li Longjiu insisted on buying a schoolbag for his daughter, but he was accidentally involved in a case of kidnapping, rape and killing young children. Because the family of the deceased was the daughter of the police chief, he put pressure on the police, and the police tricked Li Longjiu into writing a confession. In this way, Li Longjiu was thrown into prison. In cell 7, a group of toxic "social scum" such as smuggler Su, fraudster Cui Chunhao, adulterer Jiang Wanfan, intimidator and robber Shen gathered together. Long Jiu's kind heart like a child gradually touched these "big bad guys", and they even took risks to bring Yi Sheng into the prison to see their father. In the dark and cold prison, cell 7 is full of sunshine.
Summary: The Miracle of Cell 7 is set in a Korean prison. The story is unfolded in flashbacks and gags, which makes the plot ups and downs, funny and full of tears. In addition, Li Longjiu was played by South Korean actor Seung-yong Ryoo, and Seung-yong Ryoo subverted the image of a tough guy. A real interpretation of watermelon head, Li Longjiu, who is ignorant and mentally retarded, left a deep impression on the audience. Daughter Yisheng, played by Korean child star Kal So won, is equally naive and clever. Especially in the movie, Yi Sheng made a gesture to represent the moon to destroy you, and it was even cuter than ever. Through the affection between the mentally retarded father Long Jiu and his daughter, a miracle was created in cell 7; The friendship between prisoners and Long Jiu and Yi Sheng; In addition, Yi Sheng, cellmate and warden's determination to find a verdict for Long Jiu for many years has also become the highlight of the film. Behind these contents are the writers and directors' reflections on human nature, law and social class. I want to combine the plot in the film and explain what inspiration this film has brought to us in four parts.
0 1 What you see may not be true. Don't look at people with colored glasses.
At the beginning of the story, Li Longjiu asked a little girl to help buy a schoolbag for her daughter, and the little girl took him to buy a schoolbag. On the way, the little girl accidentally slipped and hit her head on a stone and died on the spot. Long Jiu studied first aid before, gave her artificial respiration, and untied the belt for the little girl to increase blood circulation. But this scene was seen by an aunt and was mistaken for a pervert who sexually assaulted a young girl. In addition, the father of the girl who was killed had a conflict with Long Jiu the day before. The girl's father was the police chief. The irresponsible police officer tricked Long Jiu into signing a confession, and Long Jiu was jailed in this way. At first, people thought Long Jiu was a criminal who raped and killed a young girl. He despises Long Jiu very much and often beats him. Until one day, two forces in the prison fought, and Long Jiu was stabbed to save the boss in Room 7. There was also a fire caused by prisoners in the prison, and everyone was escaping. Long Jiu rushed into the fire and rescued the warden. Just when the warden woke up, he asked the prison doctor who saved him. The doctor opened the curtain, and when the section chief saw it, it was Long Jiu. At this time, the doctor raised a soul-like question: would such a person rape and kill a young girl? Yes, how can such a kind person make people believe that he is a pervert who raped and killed a young girl? So everyone began to help Long Jiu, the prisoner in Room 7, retell the incident for Long Jiu, inferring that the little girl might have died accidentally. The rescued section chief rearranged the file for Long Jiu, studied the case and finally found the forged confession by the police. Confucius once felt: believers have eyes, but their eyes are still not credible; People who rely on it have a heart, but their hearts are still insufficient. Disciples remember that it is not easy to know people. I thought what I saw was true, but what I actually saw was not necessarily credible; Finally, it is not necessarily reliable to measure things with your own inner thoughts. It seems that it is really not easy to understand a person's personality through some things! " If the police handling the case can seriously investigate the case and carefully study the evidence on the spot. Accidental death will not be regarded as rape and murder.
Is there really absolute good or absolute evil in the world?
(1) The prisoners in Room 7, they are definitely bad people?
After Long Jiu got a knife for his eldest brother in Room 7, the eldest brother helped Long Jiu smuggle his daughter Yisheng into prison with other inmates in Room 7 in order to repay his kindness, so that father and daughter could meet each other. Later, prisoners began to help Long Jiu sort out the whole case, and finally came to the conclusion that the murdered little girl might have died in an accident. In order to let Long Jiu prove his innocence in the trial, they simulated the problems of judges and lawyers and made Long Jiu know it by heart. When they learned that Longjiu was going to be executed, the prisoners in the prison began to secretly plan to help Longjiu escape from prison and create escape hot air balloons for Longjiu and Yisheng. You know, if the judicial organs know what they have done, they will be punished, but they are not afraid or flinched. It may be that the kindness of Longjiu's father and daughter touched everyone in Room 7 and aroused their inner kindness. Even if those people commit crimes, they have a soft side.
(2) Police chiefs and lawyers, can they represent the just side?
Because the police chief who lost his beloved daughter became paranoid, he wanted to vent his anger on this man's life. He pressured the police to convict Long Jiu as soon as possible. On the day of the trial, he threatened Long Jiu to turn Yi Sheng into his daughter if he did not plead guilty. What annoys me most is the inaction of legal aid lawyers. As a lawyer, we should actively defend Long Jiu and find out the truth of the case. He chose to play dumb. Even told Long Jiu: As long as you die, your daughter can only live if she wins. In this case, they are all owners of power, but they don't use their power well.
03? Some love is heavier than mountains and deeper than the sea.
In the movie, we not only saw Long Jiu's kindness, but also saw his love for life. Although Longjiu suffers from mental retardation, he gave his daughter 100% love. At the beginning of the story, Long Jiu was involved in the rape and murder of a girl in order to buy her beloved schoolbag for Yi Sheng. At the end of the story, Long Jiu pleaded guilty in court for fear that someone would hurt his beloved daughter. The birthday of a lifetime is also the execution period of Long Jiu. That Dragon Nine finally received the schoolbag that Dragon Nine gave her as a beautiful girl warrior. I said to Long Jiu all my life: Thank you, Dad, for letting me be my father's daughter. Then Long Jiu also said to his whole life: Thank you for being born in this world as my father's daughter. Therefore, even intellectual disability can't hide the greatness of fatherly love. For my daughter, no matter how long, I can sacrifice. We always say that dad loves me like a mountain. It is Long Jiu's love for his daughter that makes Yi Sheng face life after losing his father. It is this love that drives her to constantly seek the truth of the case and clear her father's grievances when she grows up. I think this kind of fatherly love is the real gift.
Laws should not be flashy robes.
The law should take the pursuit of justice as its value goal, and guarantee justice by distributing rights and obligations, punishing illegal and criminal acts, and compensating victims to restore justice. In this film, the police handling Long Jiu's case are lazy and forced by the pressure of their superiors to cajole and instigate Long Jiu to sign a false confession. The defense lawyer who wants to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the victim failed to perform his duty of defending Long Jiu according to law. When the warden gave him the evidence about the case, he passively accepted the evidence and did not seriously defend Long Jiu. Moreover, the police chief even threatened to intimidate the criminal suspect Long Jiu, so that Long Jiu admitted the crime that he should not admit. It is these people's inaction that makes the kind Long Jiu die unjustly in prison, and also makes the audience feel that the law is a gaudy robe and a tool for serving the powerful.
Conclusion: I have watched this movie twice, and my mood is very complicated after each time. The film is full of laughter and sadness. Because of the kindness of Long Jiu and a father and daughter, they infected the inmates in Room 7 and made them cute. They are no longer heinous criminals, but a group of affectionate and kind people. It is their kindness that keeps room 7 warm. After they got out of prison, they all embarked on the right path. At the end of the story, although Yi Sheng, who grew up, washed away the injustice for Long Jiu in the mock trial, her father Long Jiu, who loved her, never came back. This price is too big and too heavy. Many years later, dad, I was able to protect you, but you were gone.
As Lao Xu, a swindler in Room 7, once said: Life seems simple, but it's hard to do. Yes, our life is miserable, but life is also beautiful. May we all go forward bravely after the catastrophe and live up to those who love us and those we love.
