Nearly two and a half hours of film, from the first scene to the black screen at the end.
The film focuses on the Alger Motel incident during the 1967 Detroit riots.
3 innocent black citizens were shot and killed by white police intimidation during this riot. However, several white police officers who should have been punished by law were found not guilty, and the truth was not revealed to the world.

I will not discuss the content of the film in detail here, I hope you can watch it yourself.
In addition to the content of the film, it is worth mentioning the ending song "It Ain't Fair"
"Because wolves disguised as sheep patrol our streets"
"Looking for justice and it's just us
It ain't fair
There's a riot going on out " there
And it ain't fair"
I personally have a habit of watching movies, I always have to wait until the final black screen to end this viewing. It is also out of respect for every filmmaker that you can calm down and clean up your mood. I don't usually remember the ending song at the end of a movie, but the ending song in "Detroit" surprised me.
Originally, the film was enough to make people desperate, and after listening to the ending song, I couldn't help myself. The "powerless cry" in the lyrics is even more heartbreaking.
When the police who symbolize justice become wolves in sheep's clothing, "When your protector is your predator", what hope will people have.
When "African American" and "Black" become "Nigger", are black people really "inferior"?
From the slave trade to today's North African refugees, is it true equality and freedom to eliminate racism by signing the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and publishing "I Have a Dream"?
After watching "Detroit," I've been thinking about a question: what do we do when the legal balance is tipped and the police turn their guns on us?
John Boyega, the film's star, said: "Hope has always been to me like a toddler shouldn't be indulging in the sweetness of candy. I think sometimes we need to understand the problem and also Understand that you are not always hopeful. I can understand that a lot of people, as viewers, want to have hope and positive energy at the end of the movie. But the problem is that the movie is a complex live report of what is going on. We're still having the same conversations about what happened. Catherine doesn't want to distort what actually happened, what people are suffering, what's going on right now, to suit the audience. So, for me, hope Existing in future conversations, not necessarily in established themes. It's about consciousness, change, and unity."
Consciousness ,
change , and
unity .
Forgive me for making a shitty movie review, the mood is really mixed, I Need Quiet
