Unity can overcome difficulties, but internal strife can be self-defeating

Many film critics think that what happened to the black family is just to criticize racism. In fact, to think deeper, the director wants to express that unity can overcome the difficulties. When a black family moved to a new community, they were discriminated against. First they were forced to build a fence, then the price was raised by sitting on the ground, and then the house was besieged and the car burned down. In this process, the black family has never wavered its convictions. The family united to face the discrimination of the whites. In the end, the family was besieged and survived the difficulties. The family was neat and tidy.

On the contrary, Nicky’s family was in a mess from the beginning. The father and the sister-in-law had their own little abacus, plotting to kill the mother to cheat the insurance, and it can be seen that the father does not love his son at all, and only regards his son as a burden. She would pretend to be, and after her mother died, she was eager to send her son away so that he could be happy with his sister-in-law. Such a family had fallen apart even though it had not suffered discrimination or persecution. As long as someone pushed it, the family would fall down immediately.

    Children are brainwashed like this by their parents. Children are weak, so pretend to believe them and deceive them that you are good, so that you can grow up with food and drink; this is suspense, this is American Horror Story

    In fact, the part of racial discrimination is just the background, and it is still a very good black crime comedy if it is removed. Oscar Isaac's role is very small but it's very exciting! Matt Damon's fattening performance is also in place. I think the racist part deepens the irony of this movie.
