    The film is the first film in American film history to directly address anti-Semitism. The biggest feature is that when the right-wing forces were in power, they bravely exposed the dark side of society, and scolded the biased thinking of ordinary American people with a just attitude. Won three Oscars including Best Picture. It's just that this film also has the suspicion that the theme comes first, with more than seriousness and lack of...

    Kazan upholds his characteristic of being a talkative, rambled for a long time without getting into the topic. Although the actors add a lot of color to the film, the whole is still too mediocre and lacks...

    3.5 When I saw Parker's decent face, I thought it was just an ugly high-level movie. The result was much better than expected. Although some of the episodes were too preachy and the foreplay was too long, it was not easy to have the courage to analyze it at that time. But then again, the method of pretending to be a Jew is a bit problematic = = How about substituting it into other minoritiy people? Just...weird. Mom is great. Then I didn't expect to see Dean, who was still a little bean,...

    Do not persuade others to be kind without suffering others. Even in post-World War II America, resistance and discrimination against Jews was ubiquitous. Looking for a job, staying in a hotel, there are unspoken unspoken rules. Because of their Jewish identity, it is difficult for those who love each other to bond, and their children are isolated in school. In order to make a living, some Jews are even forced to renounce their beliefs and change their names incognito in order to integrate into...

    The film does not dig deeply into the roots of anti-Semitic ideology, and the length of the love scene also makes this theme superficial. However, it took courage to be able to shoot such a film at that...

    In the context of that era, the questions raised by the film are still very courageous, but after all, there is only the theme, the execution is very weak, and the display of discrimination is more often used to assist the emotional ups and downs of the male and female protagonists. Gregory Peck is really handsome, and I don't think there's anything particularly memorable about...

    Ripped the fig leaf but only a small seam

    A typical idealistic film with some small talk.

    The first two thirds were fine to me, until Phil got into a paranoid fight with Casey.

    I saw a short animated short film on the subway that was very educational and unexpected. It was about the protagonist jumping in line when buying subway tickets and...
