The film focused on portraying the heroic image of the black police officer Vigie. Viggy is upright, kind, upholding the truth, supporting justice, and has superb homicide solving ability. When he was in Mississippi, where racial discrimination was serious, he could only tolerate the unreasonable arrest of the ignorant policeman. Facing the arrogant contempt of Police Officer Bill, he expressed tolerance and showed his identity when necessary. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He clearly pointed out to Bill: He caught the wrong person and did his duty as a police officer. At the request of the deceased’s wife and Bill’s encouragement, he promised to participate in solving the case; facing the four gangsters who wanted to put him to death, there was no fear, a brave and brave fight. He first gave courtesy to the rich white man, ignored his malicious innuendo language, and immediately slapped it with a louder slap. Even white people who have no liking for him will never be wronged. These behaviors of his fully demonstrated his excellent qualities; and these qualities, no matter what race or class of people, are commendable. The story described in the film took place in 1962, that is, Martin Luther King led 200,000 people to "advance freedom" to Washington. The year before, the location was in Mississippi. The film faithfully reflected the social reality of the serious local racial discrimination at the time: those ignorant and ignorant whites were extremely hostile to blacks, some dared to call Vigie "niggers" face to face, and some easily chased Vigie as gangsters; that The wealthy white man dared to slap a black police officer and said that he would have been shot several decades ago. But there was also the wife of the deceased who insisted that Vigie take care of her husband's case, which was a sensible person. And Sheriff Bill was even more arrogant and rude to Vige to affirm his talents; from inspiring him to stay and participate in the case to sincerely wishing him to leave to avoid accidents; taking him to the house of a black car repairman; In time, he helped Vigie get rid of the very critical situation, and gave a white gangster a vicious punch; he was very disgusted with the rudeness of the rich white man to Vigie, and he slapped him with a slap in his heart. The table praised; finally, he sent Vigie to the train, smiling and sincerely asking him to "take care". It can be seen that Bill's actions represented Americans with a conscience and were a reflection of the spirit of the American era at that time. Thus, by 1964, President Johnson signed the "Bill of Human Rights." There are also two details about black people in the film: one is the black auto mechanic expressing his joy to Vigie's coming to his house; the other is the servant of the rich white man staring at his master and shaking his head slightly. These films have their intentions. The times have advanced. Although it cannot be said that there is no such serious racial discrimination in the film, it will not recur after all, and racial prejudice can be seen everywhere. The film has its permanent warning significance.
