It is natural that most people try to claim and/or defend women's rights as a reaction to Mr. Yanagisawa's remark. However, I have to admit that there are canny women who use both women's rights and the power to defend them. I hear that some girls are making easy money. Here is the way one of them does. She gets in the train at night and finds a drunk middle-aged guy who is almost sleeping on the seat. Then, she sits down next to him for a time until the moment. Suddenly, she screams: "Molester! Call the police!" Of couse, the guy next to her has not done anything, but at the same time he does not know it because he is drunk. The police came, ... then, what's going to happen to this girl and this middle-aged man. Well, she will get some money. Why? I think it would be better for you to watch "Even So, I Didn't Do it (Soredemo Boku wa Yattenai)" than to listen to me. As for this movie, I want you to take a look at a portion of Mark Schilling's review:
...Masayuki Suo's new drama "Soredemo Boku wa Yattenai (Even So, I Didn't Do It)" drives these and other points home with an unrivaled forcefulness. Suo's first film in a decade -- his last was the 1996 hit comedy "Shall We Dance?" -- it is carefully researched. At the same time, Suo hasn't forgotten to tell a story that anyone can understand, about an ordinary man in an extraordinary situation that starts as a brief, apparently innocent, encounter with an anonymous person, but becomes an all-consuming descent into a legal hell.
...Teppei Kaneko (Ryo Kase), the unemployed hero of "Soredemo," is arrested for molesting a 15-year-old girl on a crowded commuter train. But after he is taken to the station office for questioning, together with the girl and a portly male passenger who helped apprehend him, an embarrassed young woman appears at the office door, mutters "he didn't do it" -- and vanishes into the crowd.
...The detectives investigating his case, however, have nothing but contempt for Teppei's protestations of innocence. Locked away in a detention cell with hardened criminals, he begins to realize the seriousness of his predicament, but he rejects the
advice of the cops and his court-appointed attorney to confess. Why should he, when he did nothing but try to loosen his coattail, caught in the train door? Yes, he may have brushed against the girl, but his right hand was nowhere near her body. Yet she continues to insist that he groped her with
it. Who is right?
Teppei finally finds two lawyers willing to defend him -- the shrewd veteran Masayoshi Arakawa (Koji Yakusho) and his smart-but-green junior partner, Riko Sudo (Asaka Seto). At first reluctant to defend an accused molester, Sudo is persuaded by Arakawa's observation that Teppei may well be the victim of a legal miscarriage. But even with these two behind him, Teppei's chances of winning acquittal in a court trial are slim -- about 0.1 percent.
