When (the eighth defendant) Searle said to the others that his comrade was "executed" with a bullet in the shoulder and could not fight back; when Searle pointed out that the Seven Gentlemen were only to oppose their "father" of the authoritarian tradition , and can't understand the situation in which black people can be killed at any time; when Seale is gagged by the bailiff in court, and the seven gentlemen and lawyers can still maintain their decency and culture, the film goes beyond its theme - it shows another The tip of the iceberg of a sport.
It's not that the seven gentlemen don't eat minced meat or are hypocritical, and they are willing to make sacrifices; it just has to be seen: they and the Black Panther really live in two worlds, and there is a deeper oppression here.
Black Panther left the stage halfway through, and the subsequent trial was still worth pondering, but without a kind of oppression, the second half still seemed overshadowed, and my mind was no longer on the court.
