In defense of justice, this is Denzel's film that was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival.

Also known as Hurricane, Li Sheng didn't understand what the so-called defense of justice is until he read the beginning.

He always thought it was a failed work of Denzel, but he didn't expect it to be the hurricane that moved him back then.

Black Hurricane, Rubin Carter!
Li Sheng still remembers what it was like when he watched this movie back then, and now watching it again, the feeling is also different.

Before the movie started, Li Sheng was already deeply moved. Seeing Li Sheng's expression changed, Brother Fei tugged on his sleeve.

"what happened to you?"

Li Shengqiang smiled, waved his hands, and shook Brother Fei's hand, "It's okay, I just think this movie will definitely be a good movie!"

Brother Fei also held Li Sheng's hand backhand and smiled at him.

"People haven't started yet, you know wow!"

Li Sheng smiled and said nothing, he just knew.

……

Hurricane, this Li Sheng is very familiar, very familiar, basically already familiar with it by heart.

The general outline of the story is simple, but what is shocking is the humanity and performance of the actors.

A black boy, Les, accidentally found the autobiography written by boxing champion "Hurricane" Rubin Carter in prison in the second-hand book market, and became interested in his story, and then began to look for Rubin and help him obtain A story of freedom and hard work.

Rubin was born in a poor family. He was jealous of evil when he was a child, so he had a grudge with the local white police.Later, because of his outstanding skills, he became famous in the boxing world and was nicknamed "Hurricane". After that, he participated in the Vietnam War and became an honorary officer, and met his later wife by chance at a ball.

When life was on the right track, a murder case in a New Jersey bar completely destroyed his good hopes. Rice communicated with Ruben and learned that he had suffered innocent injustice, so he persuaded his friends to find evidence together, hoping to uncover the truth. The truth made him regain his freedom, but the evil forces of racial discrimination secretly made things difficult for him, intending to trap Hurricane in the cell.

Are such bridges and outlines very familiar, yes, very familiar!
The Shawshank Redemption probably followed the same path!

The protagonists are all wrongly imprisoned when their careers are booming, and they are all finally freed after a long struggle. Even the prisons are very similar, and the prison guard is played by the same person?

Although the themes are different and the ways the protagonists seek freedom are also different, the desire for freedom and the hope for the future are the same.

Andy gives hope to his cellmates.When the film ends, on the beautiful beach, Red walks up to Andy, and the narration is his voice echoing: ihope??
And in a hurricane, it was the help of friends that gave Rubin Carter hope.

The people of Emerikan seem to like to play this game very much, bringing out sharp topics like racial discrimination to the surface, and then showing you human nature, or ugly, or greedy.

In his previous life, Li Sheng liked the play Hurricane very much, and he also conducted a special investigation and research on why Denzel's performance in such a wonderful play still missed out on the Oscar statuette in the end.

The final answer is that Shawshank's redemption came first. If Shawshank's achievement has already missed the Oscar, then it is not surprising that the hurricane ended up as a result.

Soon the film started, Li Sheng quickly regained his senses, collected his emotions, and watched the film again.

Three stacked life sentences, one innocent black boxing champion.

The three-way dialogue that occurs during confinement is very wonderful, struggling, pain, fear, strength, hatred... hovering between radicalism and cowardice.

He insists on not wearing a prison uniform, he is innocent, even if it is dirty and smelly, he will not give up the justice he insists on defending.

Suddenly, at this moment, after more than 20 years, or more than ten years in advance, Li Sheng watched this play again, and he suddenly understood why the Germans translated the name of this play as defending justice.

Defending justice, Rubin Carter, played by Denzel, has been working hard to defend his own justice all his life. Although he failed again and again, fell down again and again, and was disappointed and hesitant, desperate to the point of heartbreak, he still made progress step by step. Persevered.

Like Rubin Carter said.

I thought hatred could make me strong, so I fought with my fists.Then what God gave me was 30 years of injustice.

For 30 years behind bars, I defended the only freedom I had. Justice will always come.
Letters from strangers made me feel warm and weak. I thought I would lose forever, but the flickering lights gave me endless strength in an instant.The force that compels me to stand up for justice is called "love".

Hate put me in prison, but love brought me back to life.

When he saw this place again, Li Sheng suddenly felt that he was right and wrong to come to Berlin this time.

That's right, he re-watched the play, which cleansed his mind again, and he also got to know Denzel and Milla Jovovich.

What was wrong was that he had to stand with his former idol Denzel Washington to compete for the best actor position. Godson vs. Rubin Carter, Li Sheng felt that he had already lost.

But no matter from any aspect, Li Sheng has no reason or qualification to turn around and leave now. He can only persevere step by step. Even if he loses, he still has to smile and applaud Denzel.

This is what Denzel deserves.

After watching the movie, Li Sheng was always depressed. He left the exhibition hall with Brother Fei and drove around the streets of Berlin, trying to find some places to visit.

After all, knowing that Denzel actually brought a hurricane to the Berlin Film Festival, Li Sheng felt that he had no chance of winning. Since he knew that he might not be old, he might as well have a good time and treat it as a one-off Went on a New Years trip with Phineas.

However, maybe it's because of the film festival being held now, or maybe it's because Berlin is not as prosperous as it will be in later generations. Li Sheng drove Brother Fei around but couldn't find anything interesting.

So, the two quickly went back to the hotel.

Brother Fei was a little tired, and the jet lag hadn't reversed yet, but Li Sheng had already started planning his work plan for the millennium.

The first task is the script that I handed to Brother Fei before!
My Sassy Girl!

It’s not confirmed if you must turn it on. It’s like fog, rain, and wind. It’s probably early summer. After all, at that time, actors can wear cheongsam or those costumes of the Republic of China so that they won’t feel uncomfortable.

Li Sheng roughly calculated that he had about three months to control, from preparing the crew to wrapping up, this time was enough.

But now it's all right, Li Sheng started to organize plans and scripts with a notebook, and started preparing for the casting of My Sassy Girlfriend.

There are still two days left in the Berlin Film Festival. When I return to the capital, I can start preparing for the crew, and try to shoot this movie before I join the crew.Just to cheer up Brother Fei's mood, isn't it!

The short-term goals and plans were easily given by Li Sheng!
