1. The eldest son of the male protagonist has no news, and the second son died in the war in Vietnam. Isn't it the American version of "To Live"?

2. The editing started in about 40 minutes: the eldest son participated in the civil rights movement in the South, and was spit and scolded by the white man; the old man served the white house in the White House, which is really ironic.

3. Is the fight for civil rights among the black American youths compatible? Are students doing similar things in a certain country for nine years? Although it was also suppressed, the result...

4. The most moving segment: Kennedy was murdered, the male protagonist’s narration: Mrs. Kennedy refused to change her clothes, so that everyone could see what they did to her husband.... .. The last time I saw that much blood, was the day my dad was killed

5. The eldest son heard gunshots when he sent a black girl home and hid in the corner, and then the two had the first intimacy Contact, inexplicably think of Zhang Xiaoquan sucking the finger of the policeman in "Girlfriend Boyfriend"~

6. Still don't understand why the elder son didn't go to the funeral of the younger brother? Because of "sorrowing his misfortune and angering his brother"? Because the country discriminates against blacks?

use the ending of the movie: dedicated to the men and women who fight for our freedom in the process of civil rights
