Blade of Hesitation： Focus on where the justice knife of juvenile delinquency points.

Special feature of 1905 film network The teenage girl was killed, but the real murderer was actually three minors?

They are demons who are numb to evil, cruel thugs, and "snakes and rats" who refuse to resist and fall. In the face of three unrepentant underage murderers, will the girl’s father punish the real murderer by law or in his own way?

The suspense crime film adapted from the novel of the same name was officially released on May 17th. This film focuses on the topic of "juvenile delinquency" and discusses where the sharp edge of justice should point in the hesitation between love and law.

In the movie: the emotional ups and downs caused by three kinds of hesitation

As early as during the screening of the film, many viewers expressed their feelings of "worrying and really hesitating" after the screening. Wandering from the title of the film to the film itself runs through.

The first hesitation comes from the father of the victim girl. After his daughter was subjected to inhuman abuse by a minor murderer, he fell into the trap of "am I a hand-edged murderer, revenging my daughter, or taking legal channels and waiting for the day when the law punishes them?" The entanglement.

For Li Changfeng, the father of the victim girl, "the law will punish them, but it will also give them a chance, but my daughter has no chance anymore."

The second hesitation lies in the spectator’s perspective. As He Jia, on the one hand, her simple sense of justice supports her to help Li Changfeng punish the murderer. At the same time, she is also urging Li Changfeng to turn himself in, firmly believing that the police and the law will bring these murderers to justice.

The third hesitation in the film comes from Liang Jun, a policeman. In the movie, he once let Li Changfeng go after controlling him, but when Li Changfeng was really ready to kill Xie Yu, the "head of the devil", he came forward in time to stop him. Liang Jun’s hesitation lies in, on the one hand, discouraging Li Changfeng and convincing him that legal means can sanction the murderer, but when Li Changfeng himself commits a crime, he should also be arrested.

Outside the film: social thinking inspired by four key turning points

There was a stepped sign at the premiere of the film, with four key words written from top to bottom: "joke, bullying, addiction and forgetting", which just correspond to the four key turning points of the film story.

The first is "joking". Xie Yu, the first of the three juvenile offenders, said in the film, "You don’t have the courage to play, do you?" . Wang Tianxiao, the accomplice, said, "It’s okay before you reach the age of 18. If it’s a big deal, just let your dad pay more." Luo Zhicheng also said, "I didn’t know that girl would really die."

These words are full of self-righteous jokes and ignorance of the law. Because for them, they are under the age of 18 and think that they will not be punished by law, so they naturally think that this behavior is just a game and a "joke". It is in the case that the joke is getting bigger and bigger that "bullying" begins to emerge, which is what we often say — — Bullying.

The third key word is "addiction". Just as Li Changfeng indulged in the grief of losing his daughter, he cried to the police, "I only have my daughter. My daughter is dead, so I can only sit here and wait quietly, waiting for the police to tell me how my daughter died and waiting for a fair referee to do justice for my daughter." In fact, there is only one obsession in his heart, that is, to speak out for his daughter. This deep love also made him finally go to the road of revenge on the murderer.

The fourth keyword "forgetting" can be introduced from a detail in the film. Before leaving home to seek revenge, Li Changfeng clung to his daughter’s favorite doll until the end of the film. Explain that Li Changfeng doesn’t want to forget his daughter, but the criminal suspects, these underage murderers who take pleasure in bullying, have they forgotten their previous criminal acts? Liang Jun, a policeman, said, "These children are not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is forgetting".

Xie Yu, the "head of the devil", had committed two crimes before committing this crime. On the first two occasions, he insulted the victim, but this time he killed Li Qian directly after insulting him. It is in this process of constant connivance and forgetting that his criminal methods are escalating step by step, and he has gone to a more serious criminal path. Therefore, the last keyword "forgetting" is two-sided. It is precisely because the murderer forgot the pain caused by the crime that he became insensitive and committed greater guilt. However, the families of the victims who have been hurt by forgetting will never get rid of this whirlpool of pain.

Law and film are working hard.

Laws and movies have also made a lot of efforts not to "forget" these vivid realities and lives. In the past, the law did not pursue criminal responsibility for crimes committed by minors under the age of 14, but in recent years, the mental development of minors has become more and more precocious, and the means of carrying out behaviors that endanger society have become more cruel. The law responded to these acts.

The 11th Amendment to the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates in Article 17 that minors who have reached the age of 12 but have not reached the age of 14 can be investigated for criminal responsibility if they commit intentional homicide, intentional injury and cause death, or cause disability by particularly cruel means. If the circumstances are bad, they can be investigated for criminal responsibility with the approval of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.

Some time ago, in the case of juvenile delinquency in Handan, Hebei, these minors were over 12 and under 14. With the approval of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, these three minors also entered the criminal proceedings, so what awaits them will be the investigation of criminal responsibility. Therefore, the law has chosen the strict side for minors in this respect, that is, not to "forget".

As a carrier of communication, movies sometimes play the role of spotlight and magnifying glass. At the beginning of this year, the film focused on the application of Article 20 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC). Similarly, the film "Blade of Wandering" will also arouse people’s reflection and realize the blade of justice through legal means.
