Be brave to confront the unfairness of fate

This is a very special documentary.

At first glance, this documentary seems trivial, from children playing judgment games like playing house, to an adult defending themselves in court with newly acquired knowledge, even managing to overturn their case with the help of their lawyer, avoiding imprisonment.

And all of this relies on a game and a TV drama.

Of course, a game and a TV drama wouldn't really have such a great impact.

It's more like a soft advertisement, but it's interesting enough and has a very unique perspective.

This documentary closely follows the broadcast of the fourth episode of "The Winner is Justice". Many viewers haven't had a chance to change the channel yet, and patiently watch another documentary related to the TV drama.

The first scene of the documentary shows a group of children seemingly performing at a school festival.

And what these children are performing is a scene from the "Ace Attorney" game.

Although children may not be as logical as adults, their understanding of the game may not necessarily be inferior to that of adults.

Even though the performance may seem a bit immature, it still effectively portrays the plot of the "Ace Attorney" game.

The children loudly argue in the simulated courtroom, passionately debating for and against a child who has been assaulted.

"This is a story that happened at school, a true story."

At this point, the documentary's narration begins, with a magnetic voice that easily draws viewers in.

"And this story originates from a game. Through this game, children experience the power of logical thinking at an earlier age. Through this game, children's brains are well exercised. This is the charm of a video game. Video games not only provide entertainment but also positive feedback."

The children's logical arguments continue for over ten minutes in the documentary, ending with the injured child being identified as a victim rather than an assailant, making everyone seemingly happy.

Next, the story moves on to the next scene.

It's a real courtroom scene.

Through a few minutes of flashback scenes, the audience quickly learns that someone who seems to have been wrongfully accused is being tried.

Having appeared in court multiple times, he's growing increasingly weary.

But suddenly, he receives something interesting.

The scene freezes in the preparation room of the courtroom, where the defendant, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, is fiddling with a Game Boy Advance console. It's a recent gift he received, from someone who proposed to film his entire defense process, hoping to provide assistance to the defendant, or at least to alleviate his terrible mood.

Through interviews, it's revealed that the defendant seems to be the perpetrator of a malicious assault.

The case has dragged on for a long time, leaving him stressed out, and he even lost his job.

But to prove his innocence, he's willing to give it his all.

Now, he's appearing in court for the third time, and only video games can somewhat ease his mood. He's also grateful to the person who gave him this game console.

From the audience's perspective in the documentary, it's already known that the giver is the filmmaker of the documentary.

At this point, the voice of the filmmaker is heard in the footage: "Sir, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"

The defendant being questioned nods slightly, but his gaze remains fixed on the screen of the gaming console, as he says, "Much better, thank you for bringing me something to relax, and actually, I feel like besides helping me relax, this thing might bring me the possibility of overturning the case."

"Huh? The possibility of overturning the case? Really? It's just a game."

The interviewer responds with a somewhat surprised tone.

The defendant nods, "In the past, I blindly sought the help of a lawyer, but honestly, I don't have much money, and the lawyer I hired isn't particularly good. Although he's been working hard to defend me, it's still very difficult. I'm grateful to him, but I can also feel that the chance of him helping me is very small. I have to find a breakthrough on my own."

The defendant finishes, raising the GBA console in his hand.

"And this game gave me hope. This game suddenly gave me a different perspective on things. Sometimes, just a few unconscious words can be enough to influence the outcome. I also hope I can do that."

"Oh, I see. Then I wish you could soon get rid of the injustice."

"Thank you."

At this point, the bell signaling the start of the court rings. The defendant, feeling slightly heavy-hearted, stands up and prepares to go to the defendant's seat.

But after he sits down, his demeanor completely changes.

At this moment, he seems to exude a certain aura.

It's the composed demeanor that Ryunosuke Naruhodo, the protagonist in the game, displays in front of others.

Even the plaintiff and witnesses show unexpected expressions.

Then, a great drama unfolds.

The defendant, unlike his passive state in previous defenses, starts to take the initiative, seeking a chance for himself.

It seems that heaven never forsakes those who struggle against their fate. He actually finds the loopholes in the words of the witnesses and plaintiff and continuously exposes their lies.

Before, he was defenseless in previous defenses.

But this time, with his own efforts and the help of his hired lawyer, he really gets a chance to overturn the case.

At least now, the suspicion of him deliberately injuring someone has been greatly reduced, which is a big improvement.

And the documentary ends here, with the narration resuming.

"Sometimes, video games are not monsters. They can also provide people with a different perspective on the world and help them live better lives. Perhaps what some people lack is just the eyes to discover beautiful things. As long as they view new things with an optimistic attitude, they may feel differently."

That's all for the documentary, which lasts about half an hour, but the pacing is just right. Anyone who watches this documentary won't feel tired or resentful. Even though this documentary may seem like a soft advertisement, people still enjoy seeing a turnaround.

Even if it's just a staged performance, they're still touched.

Just as the documentary says, people should dare to fight against the injustices of fate, rather than always waiting for someone else's help.
