      Who is that light?

      Life is a box.

      Forrest Gump's box is full of chocolates, and each one has a different flavor.

      And Luce's box is his shackle.

      At the age of seven, Luce was a child soldier living in Eritrea, a war-torn country in Africa. White middle-class parents Amy and Peter from the United States adopted the child.

      Under the protection and care of his parents,...

      Simple Humanity: The Need for Fairness

      There are many injustices in society. The teacher used her unfair power to bring unfair treatment to the protagonist's friends, so the protagonist planned an unfair incident and the teacher was treated unfairly, very fair! --- This is exactly what many people think when they are young, but many people dare not do it or do it without success. The protagonist succeeds under the aura of the protagonist!

      Protagonist: Attaches great importance to friendship, has a sense of justice,...

      The more you pay attention to discrimination, the more serious the discrimination is.

      I watched it last month. After watching it, I was still thinking about it for a few days. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was really a very dark film.

      All the people in the film are like we don't discriminate against black people, we don't discriminate against black people, black people are also great, and we are all happy to see black people being great. However, as soon as there is anything, it immediately begins to doubt.

      They, all these people, in fact,...

      Let's analyze the truth of the incident. It's a bit messy when it comes to the back.

      First, let's analyze the character of the protagonist Luce.

      1. Luce likes Independence Day because it represents freedom, strength, individuality.

      2. Loos agreed with Franz Fanon's political view that the use of violence is the only means of liberation from oppression.

      3. Luce doesn't like symbolism. Luce means light. From the dialogue in the play, we can tell that this name is not suitable for black people. His name symbolizes the expectations of parents and schools. Tough...

      untitled

      There are too many things to express in the film, the self-identity of people of color and the struggle to be recognized, the support and understanding of fellow countrymen, trust and misunderstanding, the selfless and fearless mother's love... It seems that the male protagonist with dual personality, It really scared me when I grinned and showed an amazing smile. I don't want to comment that this is a devil child, because I can't and dare not judge whether the director or screenwriter has a...

      22_013. Only black directors can shoot such subjects without being scolded. Being put in this box will help or kill him. After he abandoned his old name, he faced a bright future or he was at a loss. On the podium is his appearance, while running is his repressed self. The actor who played the son did a good job, and the drama was...

      Very solid script and execution, and the themes behind it are multi-layered, not only involving racial issues, but also the crisis of trust between parents and children, the destruction of personal privacy, the domestication of individuals by the state, etc. Every role can reflect human nature and some problems in society. The female teacher symbolizes the image of the defender in the black community. In order to prevent the black people from repeating the same mistakes, she will remove all...

    Evaluation action

    "Luce" is a provocative thriller about race and identity. The problem of the film is like Luce’s line "I can only be a saint or a monster" in the film. The film asks the audience to judge right from wrong, but the film itself does not give the final answer, and the choice given by the film is also very fictitious, and It also deviates from the original problem, which leads to incoherence as a whole. Kelvin Harrison Jr.'s performance...
