No bad crops, no bad people,

Only bad peasants.

One by one Hugo

In May 2019, this film named after Hugo's famous book "Les Miserables" was born. After watching the film, I realized that it is a work about racial issues that brings social realism, and it has nothing to do with Hugo. The film directed by the French, the film is simple and approachable, the photography style is documentary and simple, and the lens adjustment is rigorous and precise, so that you can't see any flaws in the posing. After reading this film, my heart could not be calm, because the police maintained law and order, and wanted to settle the Arab blacks and African blacks who stepped into the forbidden area because of their religious beliefs. Two little kids, one stealing a little lion and one playing aerial photography, captured the footage of the police firing a rubber gun, which led to confrontation between the French black youth and the police... This may be a show of street culture in the Western world , such a trivial thing, triggering the barking of street violence, did those people's emotions burst out? When the miserable world is presented in front of your eyes, do you feel pleasure? When tragic fate and life ruthlessly kidnap God, will your original vent make God smile? Is it valuable? Since the beginning of 2020, the venting behavior spread around the world? Is it the respect that democratic values ​​should have? To be honest, this movie is very good, and it has more practical significance than the Korean "Parasite", which hurts the snobbish judges of Cannes and Oscar, if they can see the hidden Artistic charm, it previews and predicts Les Miserables 2020! ! !

    Aerial and hand-held footage interspersed, community portraits, and one climax after the last forty minutes, despite being a debut novel, Raj Leigh’s sociological dissection of the cycle of violence and incomprehension is already there. It can be compared with many movie history classics.

    #72nd Cannes# Jury Award. It's much better than the short film of the same name, and it's space enough to clarify the neighborhood/ethnic politics in the short film that doesn't have time to explain clearly. In this sense, it is actually more advanced and more complicated than [Training Day]. The 2006 documentary "365 Days of Clichy-Monfermeil" by director Rad Lee (the background information of the 2005 French riots as a key plot) must also be referenced. At the beginning, the rhythm was too slow, and the ending was sensational and preaching, and then Issa blackened and revenge was a bit too powerful, and I had to cling to that ending. However, this film is much better than "Black Party Members" in terms of social intervention and expression of anger.
