Chapter 449 The Price of the Truth

All the viewers who entered the life of the protagonist finally ushered in a small emotional climax in the calm and restrained whole film, and finally waited for the test results, which proved that pollution is related to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, preeclampsia, high cholesterol, and ulcerative colitis. Colitis is associated with six major diseases, and 3535 people have been infected so far.

At the end, he returned to the court, and the protagonist regained his confidence and began to embark on the road of fighting for justice for the victims one by one.

At the end of the film, the subtitles finally explained that DuPont paid $6.707 million for all 3535 cases!
In Ding Cheng's view, the protagonist is a non-mainstream lawyer, or a deviant.In most elite social occasions, they are somewhat out of place.

His back is slightly stooped, his speech is relatively slow, and his expression is slightly dull. He doesn't look like an impassioned lawyer defending a large company, as if he is always separated from this white-dominated capital world.

The boss commented on him as a particularly outstanding lawyer, very smart, full of energy, tenacious and thorough in research.

When Dupont made things difficult for him and sent half a century of relevant information to the basement, he was not overwhelmed by the huge amount of information, but began to organize and archive the information in an orderly manner.

What moved Ding Cheng very much in this work was the many conflicts it portrayed, not only the conflicts at the level of character relationship, but also the conflicts in the hearts of the characters.

When a West Virginia rancher finds himself, he must face a dire ordeal.He knew in his heart that when he first studied environmental law, he felt that environmental law would have a real and visible influence on society, and that you could change something through practice.

When I got this case, I had to make a very difficult decision, because if I choose to give up, my conscience will be condemned for a lifetime.But if he chooses to help, it's impossible to get any job offered to him by any other chemical company.

To a certain extent, the two share the same disease and pity each other. They are somewhat out of touch with the society around them, some are out of place, and some are independent.The choices are both suicidal in a sense, one kills one's career, the other kills one's social life.

One has a high school diploma and the other has a doctorate in law. However, at a certain point in their lives, they all found that justice is unreliable, the federal government is unreliable, and the seemingly fair judicial system is unreliable.

In order to make their own voices, only they can rely on themselves.

Another admirable boss who has been secretly supporting the charges.Being in such a class, he faces a choice dilemma no less than that of the protagonist.

On the one hand, as a big partner of the company, it is impossible to ignore the negative impact of the company's profits and behavior on the company's customers. On the other hand, he has a sense of justice in his bones and feels that he is doing the right thing, so he wants to support it.

So when the test results were delayed after a large-scale blood test, the protagonist had to be deducted from his salary, on the one hand to put pressure on him, and on the other hand to balance the company's expenses.

In a capitalist society, no manager can say NO to the cash flow statement. Bravery and justice are really soft.

Of course, compared to the choices of the previous three men, perhaps the wife's choice is the most difficult.At the beginning, I chose to give up my career and become a housewife because the protagonist was promoted and the salary was high, and I felt that I could devote more time and energy to taking care of the children.

But when the case was still pending and the three children's schooling funds were not guaranteed, they finally broke out against her husband.She understands the importance of this case to her husband, but as a mother, she cannot sit idly by and ignore the future of her children.

When the pressure on her husband led to a mild stroke and he was sent to the hospital, she suddenly woke up and understood the importance of everything his husband was after.When she spoke word for word, her love for her husband and support of his career outweighed everything else in her life.

In that scene, Anne Hathaway was so involved in the play, which made Ding Cheng feel moved, wave after wave, spreading outward.

I have to say that movies are a wonderful thing. People sit in a dark room, facing those well-known illusions, but still respond with mixed emotions.

In the fictional world of film or digital, cinema is art, and in the world of our consciousness and emotions, cinema is reality.

Participants are better at digging out the archetypal stories behind major social events and presenting them to the audience in a way closer to reality.

The structure of the work is also very American-style individual heroism. In Ding Cheng's eyes, the propaganda of American-style heroism is actually a strategy in itself.Through the shaping of this personal heroism culture, it can stimulate the individual's sense of responsibility to contribute to the society and the collective, and at the same time, it can give the individual an illusion that he can win any battle with his own strength.

From the perspective of human history, discovering that America was not the canoe of Columbus alone, nor was it a certain strong citizen who captured the Bastille. No career can be accomplished by one person.

Human beings are invincible only by organizing around certain beliefs.The War of Independence was not fought by Washington alone, and the Civil War was not ended by Lincoln alone. Any revolutionary event can only be completed after the group reaches a consensus and struggles together.

Therefore, this kind of cultural shaping of individual heroism may be more able to achieve social stability, inspire individuals with a heroic feeling, let individuals develop their greatest potential, and in some respects, or promote change or expose ugliness, thereby promoting social evolution.Compared with a large-scale mass movement, this is a way with the least cost and effective results.

The opposite of individual heroes is the culture of collectivism. In terms of social stability, collectivism is effective most of the time.But it is also possible to make people realize the power of the collective, and use the collective after awakening to instigate greater social changes.

At the same time, collectivist culture is less effective in promoting social change.The credit is collective, but the effort is personal. When they can't see how much their efforts can affect the final result, people tend to gradually become discouraged.If the individual is small, then what is the use of my efforts?
So if movies are used as a tool for shaping ideology, there is no doubt that individual heroism is superior to collectivism in most aspects.

In many films, heroes often encounter the same dilemma, being excluded, encouraged or even discouraged because they disagree with the public opinion on certain issues.

Many heroes with realistic themes do not have super-long wisdom or extraordinary physical ability. What they have to do is to fight against the inertial thinking of the public, insist on themselves under the pressure of mainstream culture and public opinion, and finally change the world's views .

Behind this, there is actually a very interesting question-what is the truth?

If answered without thinking, the truth is what really happened.But many times, we are not the parties involved in many things, and we are not present. The truth we know may be the dictation of others, the investigation of reporters, or the official statement.

For any event, there are many versions of the "truth". Most of the time, the version accepted by the most people becomes the ultimate "truth", while the reality is often ignored.

It is a truth that DuPont has known for a long time the dangers of the emitted chemicals, but the information has been locked away within the company.

From the regulatory authorities to the public, everyone believed that the emissions were harmless. This was the truth of society at the time.

We can't look at it with the attitude of Zhuge Liang at the time. If we put ourselves in the shoes and think about how much courage and hard work it would take to challenge this social truth at that time.
