" bottom line " attracted a lot of attention when it was launched, because the film dared to say that all the cases came from real cases, such as the "Jiang Ge case" that we are very familiar with, "Mother and Son Manslaughter" Case” and so on, have been put on the big screen.
And the finale this time is the classic "big reunion" ending. All the bad things are gone. Aunt Fang has been thinking about the vice president for 40 episodes and finally became the vice president, while the other two couples of young people The road full of ups and downs in love has temporarily drawn a happy ending.
This time talking about "Bottom Line", I want to start from three levels, the first is "how to balance the balance between law and love?", the second is "the choice between money and dreams?", the third is " Do we want fairness or warmth?".
How to balance the balance between law and love?
There are too many balance points between law and love in this drama, which are basically involved in every case, so I think it is necessary to talk about it. In the last episode of
, the case involved is Ye Xin's mother Jian Jia's induced extortion case. This episode is about the choice between mother-daughter love and the law.
The relationship between Ye Xin and her mother has always been bad. The reason is that her mother went to a foreign country to pursue her career, left her daughter and struggled alone. Although life abroad is hard and she has no time to take care of her daughter, it is excusable, but for a mother, She was negligent, so Ye Xin hated her.
But as a daughter, Ye Xin also knows that behind this hatred is love, a full demand for her mother. Even though she is nearly 30 years old, she still longs for the warmth of mother's love.
But the mother broke the law, but the daughter had to send her to prison. This heavy duty of upholding the law made Ye Xin breathless. Between the law and the mother-daughter relationship, she finally chose to maintain the dignity of the law , and did not condone the private exchange between the mother and the witness, in order to escape the trial of the law.
So from the case of Ye Xin's mother, we find that how to balance law and love depends on breaking the law? Depends on how far you touch the bottom line of the law? Because Ye Xin's mother did break the law, and she had no remorse, all she did was to use capital to shape the gray area of the law.
And in the first episode, another case is diametrically opposed to the case of Ye Xin's mother, that is, the "mother-humiliating murder case", this case ultimately did not sentence the criminal to death , because the judge personally experienced the original fear before the trial And fear is sustainable, not because the "threat" stops, so the fear stops too. So
stood in the position of the defendant and judged with affection. It was indeed unbearable to face the behavior of the debt collectors who humiliated their mothers. Although the murder was wrong, there was a reason. Judging by the law, killing for life, as long as it is subjective killing, not manslaughter, there is a high probability that the death penalty will be met. Under the consideration of law and affection, the choice of law gave this filial son who made a mistake a chance of life.
Although the "mother-humiliating murder case" also violates the law, because the defendant is also a victim of violent debt collection, the resistance is not out of malice, but out of self-defense. It is reasonable, but murder is not legal. Two factors Both factors must be considered, but the two factors contradict each other. Finally, between the two, the judge chose a middle ground, and the two factors were mixed together to form the final judgment.
The trade-off between money and dreams?
In this drama, several people have faced the temptation of money, but chose to stick to their ideals.
's number one is Aunt Fang ( Jin Dong ), he has been the presiding judge for a long time in 's case filing court , but he has not seen the opportunity for promotion. For the family, the salary is also an ordinary class, which is not enough. To rich and rich. However, with his ability, a high-level law firm outside paid him a 7-figure annual salary, but heHe chose to stick to his dream, because this "judge" profession can bring him enough challenges and a sense of accomplishment. The so-called "serving the people" is the most glorious profession.
The second is Zhou Yi'an ( Cheng Yi ), this young man has just entered the forehead, so he belongs to the stage where a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but life is not so easy, he offended the bad guys, and the mother who killed him was followed all day long. Yes. Later, Zhou's mother broke her leg when she was sorting clothes at home, which made Zhou Yi'an look away. He began to think that it was too difficult to stick to his ideals. In order to spend more time with his mother and spend more energy on the family He hesitated in his heart, submitted a letter of resignation, and planned to walk away.
He wants to become a lawyer with three times the salary, and wants to have a half-month vacation to accompany his mother in Hainan. I still choose the ideal. Probably this is the power of belief. Although it is difficult to measure its "value" with money or other materials, it can win when it is pk against other common things.
Do we want fairness or warmth? There are too many cases in this drama
, which makes me think that, in fact, in many cases, the court not only maintains fairness, but also has the effect of restarting warmth. For example, Xu Tian's father in the play wanted to sue Xu Tian for not fulfilling his responsibility for raising him, so is this complaint for fairness? Did Father Xu think that he raised his son, but the son did not support him, and felt it was unfair, so he wanted a fair share? No, in fact, no matter how much or little Xu Tian gave him, as long as he went home to see the old man, his father would be satisfied. In the final analysis, what the father wanted was just warmth.
For another example, there is a young mother with advanced liver cancer in the play. Because she was young and ignorant, she married a scumbag. After the scumbag got married, he ran away with a lot of debt, and the young mother needed to raise her daughter alone with her mother. But the scumbag added his name on the property certificate when he got married. Although the share was only 10%, that is, 200,000 yuan, but if his wife died, 80% of his wife, that is, 1.6 million yuan, would be divided into three equal shares. The scumbag husband's husband One share, one for the child, and one for the old mother. In this case, the scumbag can not only get 10% of his own, but also inherit 26.6% of his wife's, so they can get 36.6% together, and the husband will become The person who owns the highest proportion of the entire house has the right to sell the house to repay the debt, so the old mother and daughter are at risk.
In this case, follow the normal legal procedures and get a divorce after three months. In the face of such a special case, what we need is not "fair treatment", but to give some "warmth" to such a miserable person. Several judges worked overtime and competed with death to finally complete the divorce before the death of the plaintiff. Lawsuit , which worked wonders. It is what the law should do to protect the kind-hearted people in the world and prevent rogues from gaining illegal rights.
In short, the significance of this drama lies in two aspects, one is in the popularization of the law, telling the concern that the legal cause of our country is constantly improving, and all laws are being updated. The second is about the complexity of human nature. The most reliable thing in the world is the human heart, and the most unpredictable is the human heart. I think because this drama is personally supervised by my country's Supreme Court , so each case can be selected so classic, and all of them are cases that have been very sensational in the society in recent years. The plot is intense and exciting, but Without losing the humorous atmosphere, although the judges are busy with their work, there are still moments when they gossip and complain about cases. It can be said to be very real and very down-to-earth.
In the configuration of the actors, there are young Cheng Yi, Cai Wenjing , and a bunch of old actors who are willing to be green leaves, such as Jin Dong, Zhang Zhijian , Wang Jinsong , Liu Mintao , Zuo Xiaoqing , Wu Yanshu, , Yin Xiaotian, , etc., the excellent acting skills of the old actors supported the whole drama, which made people feel very immersive.
Therefore, "Bottom Line" is a recent film that is real but not without a humorous atmosphere. In the period when many costume dramas were launched, it was regarded as a standout. In the future, French popular dramas can also learn more of this "Internet celebrity case adaptation" model. , it is easier to arouse discussion, and it attracts a wider audience. It is really a good drama that is unpretentious and unpretentious!
