The first thing to show is ethnic conflict.
Opening: The white man shot the black male protagonist's father with a single shot. Ending: Obama explains the American dream.
From the 1920s to the 1960s, few movies mentioned the situation of black people. This film showed me another America. It also shows from the side the actions of successive presidents on this issue from Ike to Reagan.
Why did the ideas of the founding fathers and the Declaration of Independence—freedom and equality fail when they meet black people? At that time, the problems caused by this were not yet obvious. But today, racial hatred is spreading everywhere in India, the United States, China, and France, and it has become a core issue that hinders human development. where is the problem? Do powerful nations bully? It is because the disadvantaged people are too sensitive and magnify the problem. I think there should be more factors in the latter.
Secondly, there is conflict between young and old. At first the parents did not understand the young people's choice and abandonment, but the efforts of the black American youth finally took effect, and finally the father walked to the scene of the son's protest. (The film is too sudden in dealing with the father’s change, but the dialogue is touching: Son: "You will go to jail and you will lose your job." Father: "I lost you.")
But I think if the protest is in an immature immature In a democratic society, are there more young people’s blood in vain? I also worry about whether there are more young people in Tibet and Xinjiang who no longer identify with China and eventually disintegrate our community.
