It’s enough for your family to know that you have existed in this world

When the thin man was chatting with the queen, he said: "It is enough for my family to know that I existed....... This sentence is true, but it is also very disappointing; but I think thin is a more pragmatic one." Humanoid, because its existence objectively does not need to be recognized by others, even white people.

This film mainly tells about a black man and woman. After they finished dating, they ran into a policeman who was looking for trouble while driving home. The reason for looking for trouble is that this policeman has deep-rooted prejudices against black people everywhere. For example, he takes it for granted that the thin man drives drunk, but in fact, the thin man does not drink alcohol at all. Secondly, he thinks the thin man must have drugs hidden in the car, but In fact, there is nothing in the trunk except sneakers...

When the thin man wanted him to check quickly, he found an excuse for the troublemaker policeman. He immediately drew the gun and made the thin man squat down. But at this time, the queen in the car lost control of her emotions, because from the restaurant. During the dinner conversation, we learned that her client had just been sentenced to death by the court, and now the policeman pointed a gun at her friend. Naturally, she found this kind of discrimination unacceptable, as both parties did not give in. , The police shot and wounded the queen in the leg.

The thin man immediately resisted. He shook off the restraint of the police forcefully, and then took a gun at the policeman........

After the death of the policeman, the thin man wanted to surrender, but the queen knew that in this extremely severe situation of racial discrimination, surrendering was undoubtedly going to die, so she insisted not to surrender, and then started a long escape journey with the thin man.

On the way of escape, we saw everything that two people experienced, such as family, friendship, love...

The first thing they looked for was the queen's uncle. The queen's uncle looked like a bully in the local society, but under the appearance of this bully, there was a gentle heart. He helped the two of them escape the first stage of hunting smoothly, and then introduced his comrades to his niece by the way.

Sometimes it is difficult for us to experience this kind of love of comrades-in-arms, but once it is experienced, it is really a lifetime thing. So we saw that even if the police asked repeatedly, the Queen's uncle's friend still kept silent about the whereabouts of the two people. Just when they were about to escape from the white man's house, a black police officer did not take action after discovering the abnormality, but quietly let them go.

In the end, they were shot dead on the spot when they were the closest to freedom. I personally feel a kind of regret when I see this place. I am not saying that the policeman must be damned. I am not saying that the queen and the thin man must be right to kill. What I want to say is that in our lives, There are always many injustices, but how do we face injustice? Do you rely on your own knowledge or your own struggle?

This is a very difficult question to answer. Sometimes bloodshed or sacrifice can be exchanged for group unity. This is the cruelest aspect of reality. It’s like the black guy in the play telling them two people: You gave this group belief; how important the belief is, I won’t repeat it here. We just need to remember that if we didn’t have the belief in defeating the Japanese back then, then It is very likely that the War of Resistance will not last eight years, but many eight years.

And it is precisely because the previous blood and sacrifices have taught people that the Japanese can be defeated, so that we can form a broad consensus among the people, that is, to prepare for a protracted battle with the Japanese.

For the queen and the thin man, their sacrifices seem to be very small, but to make this group realize that only by uniting can their group rights and interests be valued, so that they will not face prejudice and every time they go out. discriminate. For individuals, the same is true. Dealing with problems with emotions will definitely not get the best result in the end, and sometimes the price will be your own life.
