As an imaginary criminal justice lawyer, I am well-pleased with how the movie Beyond Rangoon was portrayed. I remembered that lady doctor who worked for the case of criminal justice. All criminal justice lawyers will agree with me that human life must not be equated or exchanged with anything. The paramount consideration of a righteous person and even of every human soul is to save a life that is in danger. That is the main background of Beyond Rangoon. The lady doctor went to Burma in order to forget a horrible incident. She was an American, a tourist. Coming from the office, she saw her husband and only son lying in the floor lifeless. When the lady doctor reached Burma with some friends, she did not know the danger that lies ahead due to the political upheavals of the country. However, she was able to save the life of a professor who worked his way to oppose the regime that killed democracy in Burma that time.
The concept of criminal justice is a broad one and as an imaginary criminal justice lawyer, I believe that the lady doctor timely risked her life just to help the people of Burma escaped from the regime. While violence and terror was everywhere, the lady doctor was able to pick up the pieces and share her knowledge and skills to the people. Since many died because of the political upheaval in Burma, the only way to survive is to leave the country and seek refuge beyond the borders-that is in Thailand. Indeed, the movie is an eye opener for those who believe in sowing fear and violence just to rule the people. Democracy is still better than chaos and hatred. When that lady doctor reached beyond the borders with hundreds of survivors, she win the price of a new life. No matter how painful for her losing her family, she was able to rise above the difficulties and help some people gain safety.
