      ......

      There is no such thing as overkill in speaking out. But black power and white power are essentially the same but they are in different positions

      But then again, it's because people in lower positions who don't have a certain level of social justice don't get any attention if they don't make extreme noises.

      I saw B before saying: "When I was in school, there was a black minority movement in the school. The main purpose was to accuse teachers and students of avoiding sensitive...

      just ok

      I watched it with a heavy heart. I watched the original German subtitled version in English in a German-speaking country. Most of the time, I was stunned, but I could feel the hatred and unwillingness that overflowed the screen. I was very flustered when I watched the movie. Combined with my own experience, no amount of comedy elements could make me laugh easily.

      The lens is like it. What impressed me more was the few moments when black power and white power alternated. The progressive...

      two hours and 14 minutes

      What can a movie time be used for? Take a nap, eat dinner, or watch another movie... Anyway, it's not enough to thoroughly analyze the problem of racial discrimination in the United States, the grievances with the KKK, and the political struggle, at least for Spike Lee. Saying is not enough.

      Judging from the dial telephones used by the police station in the film and David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, who had not retired at the time, the background of the story should be...

      Anti-Birth of a Nation

      In the 1970s, a black man in the United States became the first local black police officer. He didn't want to be a display room in a file room, so he began to investigate the KKK, and finally, with the assistance of his colleagues, destroyed a bombing case conspired by the KKK.

      The main line is based on a true case, but director Spike Lee's excellent film language makes this work an excellent black comedy mocking white racism. The five minutes at the beginning and the end are like a...

      Olympic bid political film, with the most "political" wall-riding

      In recent years, the Oscars and even American society have particularly favored equal rights for blacks. And Spike Lee, who has been slightly suppressed by the students for a long time, also took this advantage and had some opportunities to raise his eyebrows.

      Let's analyze Spike Lee's Olympic bid this year. Alec Baldwin, roaring white nationalist speeches mixed with clips from The Birth of a Nation, is an aggressive and effective direct presentation of America's ingrained racist ideas...

      What is the essential difference between an angry movie with a clear stance and the birth of a country where the director despises and criticizes it? ! I didn't feel much black and humorous, it was nothing more than a malicious mockery with a clear stance. If you can't be neutral and objective, and you can't compare the two ends together, it's meaningless to fight racial discrimination, criticize violence, and ridicule stupidity. It stays in the stage of self-pity and self-pity in accusing...

      Essentially not a movie but a novel ("Pulp Fiction"?) The speeches in a few acts are too exciting to be...

      2018 Cannes Jury Prize. 1. Spike Lee continues on the road of making a "real black film", the film's narrative is steady and fast, humorous and ironic. 2. It is meaningful to criticize [Birth of a Nation] in a parallel montage of [Birth of a Nation], and write racial contradictions with Griffith-esque last-minute rescues. 3. The recording video at the end and Trump's speech revealing the reality of today's America is embarrassing, and it also sparks criticism of the director's style of fragmenta

      It's still 20 minutes away from the climax on the plane, but it's already great. Only Spike Lee dared to touch such a subject, a movie that could be made! Cynical and serious, returning to history and accusing Sang and scolding Huai, expressing political views but not forgetting to discover the diversity, not sensational or deliberate but moving...

      It takes time to become free of the lies and their shaming effects on the black mind. It takes time to reject the most important lie, that black people can't do the same things the white people do... unless a white person helps...

    Movie plot

    Ron Stalworth ( John David Washington ) decided to join the police after graduating from college. At that time, there were only a handful of blacks who could become police officers. Although he occasionally encountered racial discrimination, what he couldn't bear was the trivial and boring work in the archives. After accidentally discovering the Ku Klux Klan advertisement in the local newspaper, he quickly germinated the idea of...

    Evaluation action

    From the production of the film, it is not difficult to see the ambition of director Spike Lee, and he has worked hard on this in the play. Based on the true story of a core character, the director expands a large number of fictional plots to enhance the drama. And the secondary recognition of Jewish identity, etc., as a secondary line, it shows a picture of the social customs of a small city in central America. The whole film is...

    Movie quotes

    • David Duke: The criminal banking establishment, these criminal bankers, the criminal Fed, the Establishment, they're ethnically cleansing our people. Not only in the United States. Not only in the United States.

    • David Duke: Every politician has to talk and genuflect to the real rulers of our society and say, "I want thank the Jewish People. I love the Jewish People. And the Jewish People are always our friends. No matter what they do. No matter how much they destroy our country. It's just wonderful. We just love the Jews." No Senator or Congressman would dare get up and say, "I love White People. I love White Heritage. I love my People and I love the culture that was created in Europe and this great Western Christian Civilization. I want to see that - perceiver. You know, I want to see that be enriched."

    • David Duke: A lot of people think I hate Negroes; but, I don't. The Organization doesn't either. They just need to be with their own. That's what Pinky would say. Pinky didn't mind Segregation one bit. She just wanted to be with her own kind.

      Ron Stallworth: Sounds like she was a Mammy to you.

      David Duke: You ever see "Gone with the Wind"? Pinky was my Hattie McDaniel. She won the Oscar for that role: Best Supporting Actress.

      Ron Stallworth: You were Scarlett and she was Mammy.

      David Duke: That's right. That's funny, when she passed, it was like - ah, it was like we lost a member of the family.

      Ron Stallworth: A good nigger is funny like that. In that sense, they're like a good dog. They get real close to you and as soon as you lose em', it just breaks your heart.

      David Duke: That's well said, Ron.

      Ron Stallworth: I knew a coon once.
