[There are no valuable short comments to write down] An extremely rational debate

4.5 points This is the first time I have seen such a dense script. If there is no discussion of "what you want" within the Seven Gentlemen, if there is no debate about violence or peace, and if there is no "rationality" throughout, then this film will only be It's an ordinary hymn of classical heroes [the title of the movie reminds me of heroes on trial in ancient Greece and Rome]. The dense content of the script all reflects that the creator is really thinking, and he wants us to know "what is equal, rational, and just rights [forgot what the specific lines in the movie are]", rather than "just remember a bloody riot. [Also forgot the original lines]". Rationality is the proposition that human beings have been exploring since its appearance. Although this film is based on rebellion, questioning, turmoil, tribute, blood and tears, it seems that everything is irrational, but I still want to say that he is extremely rational. , the creator analyzes this history with extraordinary calmness and dissects American society, which is a bloodless revolution. I struggled for a long time between 4 stars and 5 stars, but I couldn't get 5 stars because I think he is not so particular about the camera lens and picture as a movie, and he lacks the art of blank space [this is my personal hobby]. It is more like a TV series. Four stars think it's more than that, and finally give five stars because I think such rational thinking is too scarce in today's society.

Attached is one of the lines that moved me:

"You all know the difference between resisting patriarchy and racial discrimination." "He was not tried, he was sentenced" [I can't remember exactly what this means]
