    It was undoubtedly a very precious moment when he first noticed the Guilt and Vulnerability between the lines of Baldwin, but Peck did not grasp this clue that he had no reason to miss as he was in the same situation, and sent his ambition to make a film. Really disappointing in a didactic movie for the unteachable crowd. The setting to read the film with the deaths of several "comrades" works well, but it's exhausting to loop back to the same themes over and over again. Also, I wish Baldwin...

    The perspective is black rights that have become politically correct today, and the material is TV news plus photos and reports, neither of which is outstanding. It is even more inexplicable that a lot of Indians are in the western film. At the end of the day, the greatest test of virtue and justice is not in adversity, but in how to treat people who are weaker than you. It can be seen that the film attempts to show the human dilemma and the depth of the characters, but unfortunately they are...

    The commentary is Baldwin's original text. Very well written, I want to get a small notebook. "White is a metaphor of power." It's a great combination of reality, archiving videos and old movie clips. Some things are only possible if you believe in them. It is a pity that Chinese people will naturally feel that such topics have nothing to do with them, but in fact, in our world, who is a white who does not know how to reflect? little pink or...

    #的好黑友# In Fran Lebowitz's documentary, it was full of poetry to participate in the TV debate, and instantly became a fan. It's a pity that this one only talks about race, and doesn't mention that he is also a gay equal....

    #DocumentaryPhoto# "The story of black people is also the story of America, and this is not a good story." "Facing the problem may not succeed, but if you don't face it, you will not succeed." James Baldwin's three-pointed words, said It is the truest black situation under the phantom of the American Dream. Hypocrites always try to beautify and strengthen racial segregation at the same time. Only the black people who are in it have the most say. If the black people do not work hard to speak for...

    about race

    A very in-depth documentary. I've always wanted to know the story of black people, and this documentary is undoubtedly a very good entry point. One of the deepest feelings this documentary gave me was art. A perfect mix of music, interviews, film clips, narration, full of calm sadness, full of...

I Am Not Your Negro quotes

  • James Baldwin: Someone once said to me that the people in general cannot bear very much reality. He meant by this that they prefer fantasy to a truthful recreation of their experience. People have quite enough reality to bear, by simply getting through their lives, raising their children, dealing with the eternal conundrums of birth, taxes, and death.

  • James Baldwin: We are very cruelly trapped between what we would like to be and what we actually are. And we cannot possibly become what we would like to be until we are willing to ask ourselves just why the lives we lead on this continent are mainly so empty, so tame, and so ugly.
