quite satisfactory

The adaptation of real events is my favorite type of film, but the two-hour running account doesn't feel like I feel the same way. Racial discrimination is a long-standing topic. Art comes from life, but it is higher than life. But this film only shows a small part of the life trajectory of entrepreneur Bernard. The process of success is also a little sloppy, and the final outcome is also a little sloppy. , not very serious feeling. From the very beginning, the fathers of the first male protagonist said that it was impossible for black people to make money in the same way as white people, and then went to California, which is relatively open, to enter commercial real estate. It was found that he was restrained by the bank, and he partnered with the second male to buy the largest bank building in LA as the owner of the bank. After dealing with banks a lot, when I returned to my hometown, I saw that the old neighbors were still keeping the old business and developing too slowly, so I decided to buy and operate the bank directly and use the money of local white depositors to lend to black people. As you can imagine, it was simply incredible in the circumstances at the time. In the end, he was investigated by the currency regulator, and the rules of the game in the white world were abandoned at the hearing, and his inner anger was shouted. In general, the work is neat and smooth.

    Except for the slightly abrupt transition to the equal rights scene at the end, the overall drama is very strong, interesting enough and good-looking.

    AppleTV+'s first original film in the true sense has an unimaginable security and conservativeness. A story that encompassed the civil rights movement, the inequality system, and "hidden history" was restored in a very straightforward manner, and it was handed over to two good actors to rewrite the experiences and experiences of these two unique "chivalrous" bankers. An indelible contribution. But this feeling makes people want to read a journal article directly rather than a movie. [Nicholas blinked his eyes and talked about financial terms and formulas. It’s so ~ okay~ I love it, it’s a bonus]

The Banker quotes

  • Eunice Garrett: I love you, Bernard, but how is that any different from a white man telling you you shouldn't mind some daily assault on your dignity because you're black?

  • Joe Morris: When I first laid eyes on you, I thought you were this uptight, square-ass negro who wouldn't know whitey's hand was 'round his neck if he was staring at it in a mirror.

    Bernard Garrett: Glad, I made such a good first impression.

    Joe Morris: Turns out, you a goddamn revolutionary.
