      hot summer night


      1967 film, 5 Oscars. As a mystery, I really don't think it's strong enough. There is a snack shop owner at the beginning of the film, using close-up or close-up shots, and then he doesn't appear again - what does it mean? It means he is the murderer! I saw it in ten minutes. It's strange that many film critics actually said that the ending was too unexpected or something.
       
      But aside from that aspect, it's a really good movie. Recently, I often lament how people have made so many...

      "Hot Summer Night" Guilty White Tender Busty Woman

      Before commenting on this film, we must first popularize black Americans at that time, who was at the peak of the black affirmative movement, and various national movements came and went one after another. And because of this affirmative movement, the relationship between people of color and white people in the United States has become increasingly tense, and even caused a lot of riots. These social problems caused some turbulence in American society at that time.

      Tibbs, a...

      Black and white

      It reflects the serious enlightened black phenomenon in some areas. The homicides are linked to each other, and the truth emerges under the layers of the black detective. During this period, black people endured a lot of cynicism because they were black. It is worth paying attention to the change in the attitude of the white sheriff. Although slightly abrupt, it reflects the magnanimity and meticulous handling ability of blacks. I am deeply impressed by the ugly police station, and the people...

      Smile

      On this hot night, a homicide occurred in a small town in southern Mississippi. The white Colbert who built a factory in this small town to provide people with job opportunities was killed, so the police began an investigation. Seeing a black Vicker on the side of the road, he arrested him and determined that he was the murderer. People in the police station had a bad attitude towards Vickel, and his status as a policeman couldn't change them, and all the white people in the town had an...

      Racial issues under the homicide package

      In the Heat of the Night (1967)—The 40th Oscar Best Film
       
             At first, I thought the homicide in the film was quite interesting. After seeing more and more problems, many clues were unclear. . Why did Tibbs suddenly suspect that the driver did not follow the usual route? Why does Tibbs think of criminal motives from abortion? Why did Tibbs tell the culprit to the black woman who had an illegal abortion before he knew the truth? The investigation process feels very confusing. But...

      In the end, it's still about racism. . . Solving a murder case is a camouflage. Poiiter is really a hero among black actors. I can finally understand why he has such a high status in the history of movies. ....

      The United States abolished black slaves from the system in 1864, but the gap between blacks and whites still exists many years later. Racial discrimination is not so easy to eliminate, and it takes a long, extremely long...

    Movie quotes

    • Tibbs: Now listen, hear me good mama. Please. Don't make me have to send you to jail... There's white time in jail and there's colored time in jail. The worst kind of time you can do is colored time.

    • Mrs. Leslie Colbert: I came by to make it as clear as I possibly can: that I do not want the Negro officer taken off this case.

      Mayor Webb Schubert: Negro officer?

      Chief Gillespie: Yeah, well he, uh... he comes from up North, you see, and he was, uh, kinda... passing through...

      Mrs. Leslie Colbert: I don't care what he is. If it wasn't for him, your impartial chief of police would still have the wrong man behind bars. I want that officer given a free hand, otherwise I will pack up my husband's engineers... and leave you... to yourselves.

    • Chief Gillespie: Just once in my life, I'm gonna own my temper. I'm telling you that you're gonna stay here. You're gonna stay here if I have to go inside and call your chief of police and have him remind you of what he told you to do. But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No, because you're so damn smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all. You've got such a big head that you could never live with yourself unless you could put us all to shame. You wanna know something, Virgil? I don't think that you could let an opportunity like that pass by.
