    A man’s struggle against life’s difficulties was ultimately defeated by society’s racial prejudice and discrimination. Without fancy skills, it restores the true...

    Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, he presented the Fruitvale subway station incident in San Francisco with a surprisingly calm and objective perspective, and worked hard to restore the last 24 hours of the life of the black youth Oscar Grant. The director took the size just right, neither deliberately sensationalizing to beautify Oscar’s image, nor to vilify the police’s accusation that justice was delayed, everything was left to the viewers to judge, silence was better than sound, we felt...

    The film was released at this time, and it has a subtle connection with the ongoing Zimmerman trial. But I don't think the focus of the film is racial conflicts, because most of the pen and ink is about the state of life of this young man and the relationship between his family. Oscar-winning female matchmaker Octavia Spencer did a great job! But the film itself is relatively immature, and feels a bit too trivial and not detailed...

    Perhaps out of consideration for sensitive topics, the director chose a fairly modest position, that is, there is no excessive storyline and no sharp rational criticism. However, the adaptation of this kind of real event is usually limited to the reality. While taking on the restoration of the event, it is inevitable to shy away from telling the...

    A person has gone through adversity and fallen and is about to start again, but his life comes to an abrupt end: this is actually a model of ancient Greek tragedy. It is a pity that the rookie director only restored the incident by "recording", but did not discover more in-depth content, and thus lacked a fulcrum to move people's...

    Compared to last year’s Sundance winner, the Southern Beasts are inferior, but in the case of bright group dramas and Octavia Spencer's outstanding performance again, it can give 4...

    This is probably a very ordinary day for Oscar. We learned that he wants to get better, including being kind in saving the dog. He also confessed his girlfriend, daughter, family, friends and vision for the future. All this makes this character more flesh and blood, and the audience will have more affection for him. In this way, the ending will be even more...

    When a person's life is compressed into a news headline, all the water in his life is compressed and squeezed out. The cruelty and impermanence behind it can be seen only when the social news is re-infused and restored to the triviality and mediocrity of a person, family, and friends. The movie describes the impact of destiny, but it is still too deliberate and too cinematic, and every warm atmosphere is created to reflect the coldness when everything is broken into ashes in the...

  • Wanda: Heavenly Father, we kneel before you and ask you to put healing hands around your child. We ask you, dear Lord, to operate through these doctors. Breathe strength into their hands, Lord, as they work on him. We're asking you right now to heal him. Oh, heal him, dear Lord, so we can hold him and see his smile again. In your name, we pray. Amen.
