Where there is oppression, there is resistance. - Engels.
Throughout the ages, where there is oppression, there is resistance. This has become a truth. The film reflects a historical fact of the black civil rights movement in the United States. Black people suffered inexplicable discrimination and exclusion from other races, regarded them as inferior races, and slaughtered them everywhere, so they felt fear and anger, and launched the black civil rights movement.
Some people resisted with force, some people swallowed their voices, and some people went around lobbying and giving speeches. The most effective of these is speech, which changes hearts and resonates. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great American civil rights activist, he went around speaking, changing people's wrong ideas, thereby freeing black slaves and gaining freedom. This is passive resistance, the most powerful nonviolent act.
Debate is also a type of speech. Let's have a debate, with me as the square.
Debate: When we are unreasonably oppressed, do we need to resist?
According to what Engels said, the answer is beyond doubt. In history, many dynasties were changed because of the unreasonable system of the dynasty, which caused many people to revolt and form new dynasties. Therefore, if there is unreasonable oppression, we need to resist.
In our civilized society, we no longer need violent resistance—to force acceptance. , but should be completely changed from the ideological.

    Don't think of it as an inspirational movie, it's a waste of a good movie. Why is Harvard the best university in the world? Why does the US have the best universities in the world? Why does America attract the best people in the world? The answer is here, freedom, equality, democracy, tolerance, no matter how dark times, no matter how unsatisfactory the status quo, these will always be engraved in people's hearts forever. And that's what we lack.

    Don't expect the government or institution to solve any major problems. All social changes come from the passion of individuals.
