In the United States, a country with a relatively short history, race, perhaps the most historic social contradiction, the contradiction between whites and immigrants, has become a very serious and heavy contradiction. How much blood and lives have been poured into this contradiction.
When I first watched the film, I thought it was the same as general commercial films, with violence, suspense, and social contradictions. So at the beginning, I even watched it while eating an apple, but the more I watched it, the heavier it became, and finally I had to concentrate on it, stop all the superfluous things, and watch the whole film seriously.
It should be said that the whole film is still very interesting, and it involves a wide range of things, such as the power of role models, employment conflicts caused by illegal immigration of foreign population, some disadvantages caused by the black equality policy, as well as domestic violence, neo-Nazis, etc. . Edward Norton's character Dre in the film goes from extreme, violent, to confusion, to change throughout the story, and at the end, when he is slumped on the ground with his brother's body, he is lost again, which is meaningful.
The power of the individual is small, and it is obviously even more unrealistic to rely on the individual to change social contradictions, so he chooses to escape, but because of the particularity of his identity, he is destined to be unable to escape.
The whole story itself is still relatively complete, with contradictions and conflicts one by one. In the process of interlude, it is rich and varied without being messy, and the final ending is even more memorable. In fact, the story itself happened on one day. The memories triggered by this day, my brother spent 3 years in prison to deny himself, and then let his brother as a role model redeem himself again, but the irony in the end is the black man who redeemed their brothers. In the end, the principal had to let Derry face the conflict again. Just when I thought that Derry would die or not, it was his younger brother who died in the end. Ironically, then ironically, sharply and intensely.
It's a bit messy, I haven't typed in a long time. Pack up and get ready to watch the European Cup.
