Not so much about the emotion of the movie itself

When I filmed this about the first black corps in American history twenty years ago, I didn’t think that a black American president would be elected in twenty years.

Four hundred years of going forward and succeeding, this is a human war. Although signs of racism are still everywhere today.

This movie about the last tragic defeat of the war made me choke on my throat several times. Although there is no so-called grand war scene, there are no superb special effects, but it conveys. The content attracted me deeply-this is a war that can't be said to be a victory for any disadvantaged group in the world.

DENZEL WASHINGTON and FREEMAN are both black actors that I like very much. DENZEL is based on this film. Won the best supporting actor Oscar of the year in one fell swoop. The actor's demeanor was clearly visible twenty years ago. He has never trampled on the dignity of blacks in any of his films. Over the years, he has been tirelessly shooting films for the race for race. Equality and unremitting efforts. In comparison, whenever I see those movies that insult China, those Asian faces who are keen to play chickens and clowns, the front of their heads grows, isn't it a face? Can the Chinese actors who put the dignity of the Chinese under their feet get what they want in this way?

As I get older, I increasingly like filmmakers who are rigorous, conservative, and meticulous like DENZEN WASHINGTON and CLINT ESATWOOD. They may abide by the ethical standards that seem too rigid and rigid today, but their beliefs and values ​​are fully expressed in their works, and they have also imaged generations after generations of art like I am obsessed with movies. A moviegoer who doesn't care about entertainment.

These great blacks, because of their respect for themselves, their skin color and race, gradually won the respect given to them by white Americans and the whole world. In the more than 2,000 movies I have watched, there are very few Chinese faces that are willing to promote their own culture and history. Because of this, no matter how many scandals Jackie Chan has and how many illegitimate daughters he has raised, or how old and disrespectful he is now, I still look forward to him as always. Without him, the world's attention and understanding of China would go backwards for at least 20 years. This is the influence and charm of the movie. This is the soft atomic bomb that our great power in the celestial dynasty can't properly utilize and support to this day.

Compared to the ABCs in North America who are still ashamed to admit that they are the descendants of the Chinese, the black American filmmakers are impressive. Those who are ashamed of their skin color or disrespect other races are truly despised.

A person's sense of pride that bursts out from the understanding of his own nation, culture, and values ​​makes his humanity radiate great.

Whenever I see someone reposting a post calling someone "A San" or a joke about black skin color, I sneer on the sidelines, follow racism, and I am also the target of being laughed at.

I love Western culture, I have been growing and nurturing in it for many years. The self-esteem, independence, self-awareness, continuous innovation and reform they advocate are deeply written into the genes of me and my future generations, including our evasive spirit of democracy and equality. But the Western culture that I see in China today is just a superficial packaging. The slack of commercial activities is absorbed and imitated by various media, so-called artists and artists, and they are nondescriptly comical. It doesn't make things, no people, no ghosts. I feel funny and ashamed. If you don’t respect your own culture, don’t love it and cherish it, what is the use of just repairing the graves of your ancestors to make money?

I just want to tan my skin to dark, but I can't satisfy this perverted aesthetic.

Frankly speaking, the film was not perfect, many details need to be improved, and the war part is also dull, especially for us who are used to the big scene of the so-called high-tech war today, but this is the era of cold weapons. The close hand-to-hand combat made me feel the power of this spirit, the power of black, and the power of men.
