What surprised me was that "Judah and the Black Messiah", a movie with a proletarian revolutionary background, was actually made in the United States and nominated for an Oscar.
The story is simple. The leader of the Chicago black revolution died because of betrayal by a traitor.
The background is very interesting. The leader’s party was established with reference to Chairman Mao’s thoughts. The line is to establish an armed regime in the urban slums, and unite with the lower-class whites and other forces that can be fought to make a revolution.
It’s worth seeing, there are two things that are bad if you are picky
One is that the religious metaphor of the title (although it is appropriate) is too black and humorous (after all, the line of the leader in the play actually expresses "our proletariat does not believe in religion, we only believe in revolution")
The second is that the main perspective is used to show the inner struggle of the traitor. In the final analysis, the narrative background of the film is not revolution, nor propaganda revolution.
The movie itself is also excellent, it is worth watching
