A class struggle movie, which tells the story of the protagonist Fred Hampton, for the class revolution, to get rid of the oppression of the bourgeoisie, to ally the Crown Party, and finally form the story of the Rainbow Alliance with white people. Through the informant Bill, the FBI has been in control of all the whereabouts of the Black Panther Party, including the last conspiracy Bill, who drugged Fred Hampton. In a coma, he was shot dead by the FBI and the Chicago Police Department. The film restores real history, and this kind of class struggle is still happening today, such as the Freud incident not long ago. Bill's character in the film is somewhat blurred in his eyes. Some things must be done. He is oppressed by his identity as a traitor. Said: "I have also participated in the struggle. This is my bottom line. I am not the kind of revolutionist who talks on paper. I am not the kind of person who stays out of the way, but judges others and judges what others are doing. At least I have my own. I put my heart and soul into it, and then I had the courage to come out and take great risks, but I did it, and what I did, let history judge.”

    The casting age does confuse viewers unfamiliar with historical events, until the end credits suggest that Fred Hampton was only 21 years old when he was unarmed murdered in his sleep, that the devastation of the atrocity is far more inhuman than it has been told. . The performances of Kaluuya and Stanfield are both Otti-level, making up for the contradictions and confrontations on the psychological level for the stories of the fall of leaders and betrayal of the same family left in the historical data, but unexpectedly, the performances of the two white villains Sheen and Plemons did not fall into the flat villains. In the description, the gradual rhythm of the evil and the gradual rhythm of the officials who still have a conscience and the black Judas after the fall has formed a pair of undercurrents of confrontation, and the plot conflicts are mostly unfolded from this. In the out-of-focus portrait of the Messiah, the divinity comes from the sidelines. The narrative method of the crucifixion of Christ, the title Judas precedes Jesus, most of the highlights are retrospective reconstruction of the betrayal’s inner twists and turns after the confession of old sins, and the symbolic meaning of looking up in the theogony is better than looking at mortals. Despite the lack of character digging beyond the tragic record of the civil rights movement, the director's technique for presenting the struggle is excellent.
