      All human contradictions will eventually evolve into anti-human

      Obvious racial antagonism. The injustice of the white police's enforcement of the blacks led to manslaughter, and the distrust of the entire police system led to fleeing. On the way, almost all the blacks who met on the road gave them praise. Civilians inexplicably change fugitives, and fugitives inexplicably change heroes. A very plain magical realism.

      Female lawyers dominate everything. It was because her case was not going well that she asked the...

      Can I be your legacy?

      Two people who are displeased with each other when they meet for the first time will never think that the last time in their lives is only each other, in fact, stripped of the racist cloak, from dislike each other to the fact that you are my true love, a little bit of a bloody idol It’s a drama. The escape scenery goes all the way through the countryside to the beach, but it breaks the road impression of yellow sand and sky that I often see in traditional American movies. The help between...

      American movie "The Queen and the Skinny Man"

      The story of the escape of the black race

      This can be regarded as a type of road movie, which was caused by an escape incident caused by the racial discrimination of white police against black people. On the way to escape, I basically got the help of black people and white people. This also triggered a collective boycott of black people. Another black child shot and killed a black policeman during the boycott. To be honest, in the beginning, the two white police officers had completely opposite attitudes towards black people. The...

      It should be because civilians have guns, so the pressure of the police is high, and the pressure is high, so it is easy to shoot. The crime rate of blacks is high, so the police are easy to shoot blacks, coupled with racial alienism. Why do blacks commit high crimes and should be poor? Why are they poor? Black people say that society is unfair and discriminate. Of course there is discrimination. Black people also have their own laziness and do not like to learn. Who should correct it first?...

      201206@sfm: 3.5. A highly condensed model of public issues that is even a bit fairy tale, but it is intentionally or unintentionally out of focus on various sub-issues. In this year with frequent movements, the intensified tearing led to "confrontation" as the daily default state to further tear the creators of the Tower of Babel in a roller-like manner.

      7/10. Netizens rushed to the spot, killed a traffic policeman by mistake, fled south, and ended a thousand miles away. If it weren't for the cause of the crime and the racial discrimination against blacks, this would be another "Wild Flowers" with the same ending. The car shock scene was really good. The title should be the screen names of the two main...

    Evaluation action

    Director Melina Matsoukas showed her professional rhythm control and plot structure in her debut work "Queen & Slim"   . The whole film is full of lyrical colors that amaze the audience. It is a flawed but very powerful accusation, which is violence against the police. The deep contemplation of discrimination against people of color is also an angry hymn to the government's malicious deprivation of civil rights   . At the same time,...

    Movie quotes

    • Queen: Can I be your legacy?

      Slim: You already are.

    • Slim: Thanks, Uncle Earl.

      Uncle Earl: Nigga, I ain't your uncle!

    • Queen: I want a guy to show me myself. I want him to love me so deeply that I'm not afraid to show how ugly I can be. I want him to show me scars I never knew I had. But I don't want him to make them go away, I want him to hold my hand while I nurse them myself. And I want him to cherish the bruises they leave behind.
