The film has two main lines that go hand in hand. For one, Brenda, a white preschool teacher in Armstrong's black neighborhood, said that after a robbery, the robbers drove away from her car, while her four-year-old son Cody Martin was asleep in the back seat of the car. Police officer Lorenzo Conseil helped Brenda find her son after accepting the case, but he felt that Brenda had concealed part of the case. Kent's Friend, a non-profit organization specializing in finding missing children, called a large number of volunteers to search Freedom Land and found nothing. Karen Collucci, director of "Friends of Kindness", talks with Brenda in "Freedom" and all the volunteers do is to be kind to Brenda The staring and squeezing of her activates the moral power in her heart, and once she speaks out her sins, this soul will be redeemed to some extent.
We have seen that there are some non-government organizations (NGOs) in different fields of American society. These civil volunteer organizations fill the vacuum between the responsibility of the state and the individual ability of citizens. In public crises and disaster relief plays an extremely important role. The growth of civil organizations has not tarnished the government's image, on the contrary, it has saved taxpayers' money, expanded the general welfare of society and ignited the spark of goodness in people's hearts.
Another main line is that Brenda's brother, after hearing that she lost her child in the black district, arbitrarily believes that the local black people carried out the robbery and stole the child, as a police officer in a district that did not belong to him. Arrested and beat the suspect. The disappearance of black children in this area has not attracted enough attention from the police. This time, the police harassment caused by the disappearance of white children naturally caused great dissatisfaction among local residents. The respected Branda became a troublemaker and was neglected. . The conflict between the police and the people continued to escalate, and the police dispatched a large number of riot police. Lorenzo did everything he could to try to avoid bloodshed, but the black man who suffered long-term injustice had a deep grievance with the police who had racism in his heart...
Freedom and equality are the instinctive demands of every citizen of a civilized society. If people's pursuit of these universal values ​​is suppressed for a long time, energy will accumulate. The surface peace or peace is a short-lived and fragile shell. Its power will destroy the hard-won achievements of civilization with great destructive power.
I'm not a slave owner, but I think it must feel good to be served by a bunch of slaves as a master. I'm probably not the only one who thinks this way. The question is: who wants to be a slave? Who is willing to be enslaved? According to Freud, civilization is the abandonment of instinct. There is a devil in everyone's heart. Once the iron cage built by moral power is slightly damaged, the devil will wait for the opportunity to come out. Every bit of progress in civilization is forcing people to retreat from the beast in their hearts. It is the iron cage of "morality" that makes people a person with "human nature." Civilization strives to ensure that individual freedom does not harm others. The government of a civilized society is obliged to eliminate all unequal factors such as racial discrimination, so that everyone has equal opportunities for development. Unfortunately, the blood and tears of human civilization have continued to this day, which is still an extravagant hope. But more and more people have come to realize that the seat is earned, without a fight, you can only stand in the back row of the bus forever.
Civilization and savagery ebb and flow, and the degeneration of each individual is the cause of civilization's retreat.
