      Legal invasion

      At the beginning, there were not as many things as Lenovo. If there is no awareness of racial conflicts, you will really not understand Abel.
      In retrospect, the contradiction was really deep, but I still didn't understand the affairs of Abel and his wife. It looks good, although I feel that there are many places where my mind is temporarily out of touch.
      I felt very heavy when I watched it, but I was not shocked. There is an aftertaste.
      But considering the racial contradictions,...

      I saw something irrelevant to the plot

      This movie is currently the only movie that makes me feel very emotional and calm after watching it.

      When watching other movies that make me feel very touched, I always unconsciously blend in, imagine what I would do if I were a character in the play, what I should do, imagine what I would do if I encountered those things, and what should I do deal with. I always watch movies subjectively. Although I understand all the things it reflects objectively, I always ignore them.

      I...

      Middle-aged and elderly crisis?

      Suspenseful and frightening movie. The veteran movie star Samuel Jackson plays a single father who is in a midlife crisis. He can't handle a good relationship with anyone, including his police colleagues, suspects, neighbors, and even his pair of children. At this time, a couple, the man is white and the woman is black, become his neighbors. As a result, Jackson had a new target for harassment. The emotional imbalance + the psychological abnormality eventually led him to draw his gun against...

      Complexion curse

      Race disputes have long passed. In this peaceful era, everything seems to be normal. Democracy and freedom seem to fill the entire United States, and people seem to live and work in peace. But in fact, the curse of discrimination has not been completely solved. Some people are still full of ethnic cleanliness in their hearts. Some of this cleanliness is natural, and some are left over from history.
          There are many feature films that reflect white discrimination against black people in...

      "Legal Invasion" appears to be a little naive for the black police officer Abel

      The racial discrimination of the black police is intensified because of the marriage of neighbors, whites and blacks. From the initial disagreement, to harassment and finding someone to smash Lisa's house, to finally shooting at the couple. His thinking became more and more extreme. All the fuse was that his black wife had a mess with the white man. In the end, there was a car accident. During the first aid, no one told the doctor that it was the wife of the policeman, which caused the...

    Evaluation action

    "Lakeview Terrace" was able to win surprisingly with a small blog, not only due to the relatively loose competitive environment during its release schedule, but also the excellent quality of the film itself. The film is playing the card of racism, telling a "black and white match" couple fighting a fierce battle with police officers for their rights. The film takes a new perspective on racism, showing the audience that the estrangement...
