Hero

Been spending my week re-watching Hero on crunchyroll. Was telling this to rArAr and her beau just now. I was saying that Japs are good at bringing office politics into comedies in a way classier than how the local shows were done.

And then, I caught the 10th episode just now and it was in a DRASTICALLY different tone. Very serious and heavy.

In this case, a young guy was accused of attacking the news anchor, who falsely believed that the guy was the attacker just based on his motive. Takuya's role, Kuryu, decided to discharge the young man due to lack of evidence. When she was attacked the 2nd time and realized the guy wasn't the attacker, the police-in-charge wanted her to keep silent to save the face of everybody involved. The police cornered the young man to suicide.

The truth was out at the last scene, with Kuryu saying (with tears in his eyes) to the said policeman:

In our kind of work, it is easy for us to take a person's life. This applies to policeman, the public prosecutor and the media. With just a little bit of selfish motive, a little of carelessness, we can easily kill someone.

And the police replied:

We all want to do our best. In reality, it's impossible. They are just empty ideals.

******************************************

The incident of the show was definitely dramatized, but in everyday lives, such people do exist.

There are just so many people out there who just shirks responsibilities for their own selfish desires, disregarding the welfare of others. While I do not claim to do everything with other people's welfare in mind, I always aim not to infringe onto their right to happiness during my course of action.

Just my afterthought, since I suppose the producers of the episode would have wanted to provoke the thoughts of the viewers to question about their roles in their jobs and their roles towards other people around them, no matter how inconsequential they are to them.

Met with some irresponsible acts of another (in relation to the previous post, if anyone is curious) today and I was quite pissed off. If he who did wrong do not wish to share the responsibility, he should not push the responsibility to another.

That's what I think.

But I shall take heed of Amamiya's (the female lead role) response to the police:

Can't you work on to holding your ideals?

Yes, I will continue to work on my ideals. I will stick by my principles, do what I deem is right and face up to the consequences.

The world may misjudge me, but I will not do so unto myself.
