Black eats black, the collision of two social classes

When I was about to turn off the TV and go to bed, I was about to turn off the TV and go to bed. At the beginning, the cast showed Ben Affleck and Samuel Jackson, so I decided to watch it patiently.

The structure of the story is very simple in three acts. Two people from different classes gave a flat narrative of their daily lives in the first ten minutes. The collision of two people on the elevated road caused the exciting event of the film. On the following day, the two continued to retaliate against each other for the will document. After the dark night of their respective souls, the ending is still very happy ending.

Ben Affleck is a partner of a Wall Street law firm and he is in the upper class. In order to seize the document, he ignorant of his conscience did many reprisals against him that would be reckless to him. But all this was not what I wanted. It came from an attempt to my own ambition, the boss' father-in-law's coercion and pressure, and he reluctantly made retaliation step by step. It can even be seen that his revenge on Samuel Jackson made him vent once. Better than once. Of course, the opponent is not good at it, and if you mess with me, I will let you have a bad life!

The director's description of this underworld is very thorough. The hypocrisy and sinfulness of the upper-class society is truly exposed. Gavin’s father-in-law and boss said that I don’t feel guilty because I do more good things than bad things. Gavin's wife learned that he was cheating and persuaded him to quickly falsify the document. The dialogue in the scene was too terrible. It was a feast for the family. Really a family master showdown.

All of this reminds me of my experience in Beijing, dealing with some veteran black-hearted bosses in shopping malls for so many years. Hey, the order of this world sometimes seems to be the same. People who do all the bad things are in trouble. The end of the film is really sunny. Xiaoben has found his own inner conscience, but this society is again How many people will touch their conscience. Basically, if they do too many bad things, they will treat them as good things. People are inherently evil in the first place, but evil always pays off. The order balance of this society will definitely be there. , Still have to have confidence.

    From a small incident, it gradually developed out of control, but it was a pity that the film became soft and fuzzy afterwards. At that time Xiaoben was really handsome and tender!

Changing Lanes quotes

  • Doyle Gipson: I hope you don't mind, but I was intrigued by your conversation. I just thought you were in advertising. So I want to give you my dream version of a Tiger Woods commercial, okay? There's this black guy on a golf course. And all these people are trying to get him to caddy for them, but he's not a caddy. He's just a guy trying to play a round of golf. And these guys give him a five-dollar bill and tell him to go the clubhouse and get them cigarettes and beer. So, off he goes, home, to his wife and to their little son, who he teaches to play golf. You see all the other little boys playing hopscotch while little Tiger practices on the putting green. You see all the other kids eating ice cream while Tiger practices hitting long balls in the rain while his father shows him how. And we fade up, to Tiger, winning four Grand Slams in a row, and becoming the greatest golfer to ever pick up a 9-iron. And we end on his father in the crowd, on the sidelines, and Tiger giving him the trophies. All because of a father's determination that no fat white man - like your fathers, probably - would ever send his son to the clubhouse for cigarettes and beer.

    Gavin Banek: I'm gonna hold on to this file. I'm gonna keep it in a very safe place. But I'm not going to Texas. I'm gonna come back into work on Monday. I'm gonna start doing that pro bono work that you recommended that I do. But I'm gonna do it from our office. The first thing we're gonna do is help a man buy a house.
