In the 1960s, William O’Nealserved as Fred’s bodyguard, and in accordance with the FBI’s instructions, he created some disagreements within and outside the Black Panther party and leaked a lot of information. On the evening of October 3, 1969, O'Neill prepared dinner for the members of the Black Panthers party after the party, taking the opportunity to add sleeping pills to Hampton’s drinks. At 4 in the morning, a team of police/FBI with live ammunition attacked his home, shot and killed Hampton, who was asleep in the bedroom, and opened fire on other members of the Black Panthers who were staying at his home.
The seven Black Panthers who survived that night were charged with attempted murder and armed violence. The police charged that the Panthers opened fire first and the police carried out self-defense. In 1970, the living Black Panthers and relatives of Hampton filed a civil lawsuit. In 1982, the Chicago city government and the nine plaintiffs reached a settlement of US$1.85 million. A subsequent investigation revealed that the police fired a total of 90-91 shots that night, and the Panthers fired a total of one. When a member was killed by the police, the gun fell off and hit the ceiling. In 1990, O'Neill, known as the "traitor," committed suicide. There have been divergent opinions about Harpton's death and what the police did that night   .

    I should have finished watching it before the awards season at the beginning of the year, but I have been lying on the computer and can't find the motivation to watch it. I didn't expect it to be a serious documentary film. The name is also very interesting, and it completely fits the storyline, although it is BLM. It does a good job in inciting emotions, but it also does a good job in the progression of the plot and the depth of the theme. The only thing lacking is that the motives of the male protagonist are not very clear; the performance is great.

    3.5 stars. The biographical theme wrapped in the political thriller genre truly restores the cruel history of the Black Panther Party and the FBI in the late 1960s. The two speeches and the two gun battles were filmed with blood and blood, which is heart-wrenching. The setting of the two male protagonists inherits the characteristics of Hollywood biographies. Unfortunately, the role of "Judas" is weak and failed to play the role of the vice chairman of the Black Panther Party, but it is much better than the stereotyped white FBI role. The turbulent history of the American civil rights movement in the last century just echoes the current BLM movement, which is full of emotion. This should be the greatest value of the film.

Judas and the Black Messiah quotes

  • Fred Hampton: Housing, justice, peace... Life, liberty, happiness. I mean, it's all right there in the Declaration of Independence. But when poor people demand it, it's a contradiction -- it's not Democracy, it's Socialism.

  • Deborah Johnson: [In bed] Uh, your feet's cold. Why your feet so cold? No, get 'em off of me!

    Fred Hampton: My feet cold, your feet cold.

    Deborah Johnson: No, unless you... They're like...

    Fred Hampton: But that's Socialism, man. Well, you gotta warm 'em up, though. How you think Mao did the Long March, huh? The Chinese would warm these feet left and right.

    Deborah Johnson: You saying I'm a Foot Capitalist? You really gonna' call me a Foot Capitalist, Chairman?
