The German legal system is Kinda weird in this movie
3 January 2020
This is not a bad movie, but the 27 years legal battle is just too weird and ridiculous. The Germans already admitted their former Nazi Germany did murdered 6 millions Jews, why their legal system would have protected a common practice family doctor even the evidences were so intact? Just because it was a French father of the murdered daughter accusing a German doctor? Then when this sex predator was sued by other girls raped by the same doctor, why the German court exonerated him again? I just couldn't comprehend why this German doctor got so much power to influence the German court. He was not a political person, so why the German legal system protected him? This kinda injustice could only happen in one Party or one strong man controlled authoritarian countries, or the democracy and the legal system were both corrupted, so it could be manipulated by the people in power. The living example: The thoroughly corrupted government in Taiwan. The majority Party controlled judges, prosecutors....They can rewrote Constitution and common laws to suit themselves. They could let a dirty former president and his dirty family out of prison. And I thought such ridiculous case could only happen in Taiwan, but this movie which claimed to be based on a true story simply proved how naive I am. I just couldn't imagine the German legal system is so biased, ridiculous and so corrupted exactly like that of Taiwan.
