The attendance rate of the film in the early afternoon was only about one-third, and most of them were gray-haired old people. From time to time after watching the film, the teacher said "he just wants to be a good person", and others treat them. Talking rebuke "hush". Is it some kind of justice to maintain theater order? I think it is. For some viewers who like to talk loudly and disturb others in the movie theater, they should not be softened.
Going far, back to "The End of Righteousness."
Strictly speaking, this is not a "good-looking" movie. The procrastination of the narrative rhythm and untimely variations make the whole film feel like a roller coaster hovering in the air. The first half of the preparation for Oscar is a step by step, depicting his desire to say goodbye to the sinful past and re-behave. Of course, this is also paving the way for the tragedy that follows. The more beautiful things are destroyed, the more shocking they are.
The mother's visit to the prison paved the way for two key plots: Oscar's impulse, and the inmates with whom he had a feast. Sure enough, on the subway returning home after the New Year's carnival, the two met again, giving birth to tragedy. I can't help but assume that if Oscar is not impulsive, will everything be different? Will this story have another racist color?
Anyway, after the police received a report of a fight, they pulled people and arrested Oscar and his black friends.
Then he pressed them to the ground indiscriminately, and on the first day of the new year, they were to be caught in a bureau and locked up.
So Oscar got a little impulsive again. Although he tried to explain, his behavior was arrest in the eyes of the police. When the tragedy happened, he was pressed to the ground at the age of 22, unable to fight back or escape, so he was shot in the ground, bleeding badly, and powerless, leaving behind his 4-year-old daughter.
After he was declared dead, the film began to slash the mess. The subtitles came out to introduce the police who shot the gun for "manslaughter" and sentenced to two years in prison for using the wrong pistol as a stun gun, as well as other officials who were also accused of malfeasance and stepped down. A hastily closed the case. Quoting again the pictures taken by mobile phones at that time, and the pictures of people going to the green station to pay homage and parade during the Oscar anniversary, and then said that this road is still very long.
Oscar is a man who turned his back on the prodigal son, but he was so unreasonably killed by the police? Intuitively speaking, from the perspective of Oscars, this movie outlines a black man who has a bright future but lost his life innocently, and this man's life is thrown into the hands of the white violent law enforcement agencies of the state apparatus.
On the other hand? Is this movie really talking about racism? That policeman is an indiscriminate fanatical racist? What kind of story does he have?
We don't know.
We only saw Oscar's point of view. Oscar's record of "comforting with kindness" in the last two days before his death, and his past "Darkness" was still learned from scattered flashbacks and dialogue. The film is too pursuing the metaphysical "return to reality", but this "pseudo-documentary" narrative restores the truth that the director thinks. On the surface, it tells a story of seeking justice, but the narrative angle itself is not neutral enough.
Reminds me of this year's Oscar's best film "Twelve Years as a Slave". Perhaps as Allen said, this year's Oscar is destined to have only two results, "As a Slave" to get the best, or you are all races.
