    The case itself is very weak, but the wonderful thing is the reversal of characters and identities: the white police officers in the police station are all idiots who are big-headed, simple-minded, well-developed, and blind to handle the case; on the contrary, a passing black policeman observes meticulously. , The logic is clear, and it kills the white rice buckets of a police station in one second; the white policeman gets angry when they see him, because they are ashamed to admit their...

    In 1968, the 40th Academy Award for Best Picture! In 1968, the 25th Golden Globe Awards Best Picture in a Drama Series! The pace of the film is slow. It seems to be telling a story of investigative reasoning, but in fact it is telling about racial discrimination. Both are well balanced. If the protagonist is also white, is the best of the Oscars and Golden Globes the male and female bandits or...

    They're going to pin something on that smart cop from Philidelphia . . . maybe a medal . . . maybe a...

    What I don't like is the reasoning part, because there's a murder case I'd love to have a perfect answer, but there's something political about the whole movie that's very strong, especially in those...

    The first Oscar-winning film starring a black man. The 1967 film was only three years after the Civil Rights Act was passed, and the significance of the times was stronger than the art itself. The crime wine is bottled with racist issues, and overall it's not bad, with a slightly contrived performance by the young...

    The subject matter, story, and tone all deserve four stars. Especially in those days, expression required more courage. A black elite police officer came to a southern town with severe racial discrimination because of visiting relatives, and had to join forces with a violent white police officer to solve a murder case. During the process, the relationship between the two gradually changed, racial prejudice was broken, and they became friends who understood each other. Elite blacks (calm, wise,...

    Dark my big secret village. In the 1960s, black people were still picking cotton. If they were beaten back, they might be killed by the other party in the name of self-defense. The suit was still the clothes of the white man. Some progress. The sheriff's role is the most interesting. (PS checked and found the sheriff and...

    Steiger's best actor deserves his name. The case-solving part of the film is actually not interesting, and it is a bit inexplicable and the case is solved in a grand manner. But adding such a racist element is very contemporary, and Sidney's influence is not just an...

    Under the guise of suspense, the substantive theme of the film is clear and clear. The racial issue begins when Chongde is indiscriminately identified as a suspect, and intensifies under the tinted glasses of everyone in the town. It is also attributed to this. Under the difficult circumstances, the truth can be revealed. Is it true that prejudice cannot be...

    I also cried when this nonsense film got the best picture Oscar. . . I found out that it was a schizophrenic 60s a few years later than West Side...
