Top heavy but still respectable

"Detroit" is one of the movies I'm looking forward to this year. The opening, cleanly and violently, created a tense atmosphere, the fifth largest city in the United States was reduced to a war zone, and the streets echoed with angry proclamations of black people: "President Lyndon said, 'My dear American people, violence can never be resolved. The problem'. But can't you see? The real problem is that we have never been 'violent'. We are too 'violent'." At this moment, emotionally, we have to say "understanding", from In principle, it is impossible not to say "sorry". The film does not go further into the riots head-on, (somewhat unexpectedly, but also wisely, the outright street violence is bound to distract and obscure the focus on the root cause of racism, and it is not politically correct) but instead And through the "case" of a suspected shooting of the National Guard in a hotel, the contradiction was pushed to a climax with a small view. The madness of several Detroit police officers is exactly what the black people vividly describe in the film, the embodiment of the extreme racists who point guns at their mouths full of "my street, my property", and use the numbness of the state police and the National Guard. It is ingenious and profound, but it is a pity that the plain and straightforward description of this part makes the display of "evil" seem a bit deliberate and flat, and lacks real shocking power. The last part puts too much perspective on the black singer who has changed his outlook on life after the catastrophe, which is even more top-heavy and makes the ending tired and long.

Although the perception and expectations are not without deviation, I still want to applaud Director Bigelow. The female director's unbelievable atmosphere and calmness in each work is full of respect.

    OMG. Really infinitely close to the darkness of despair, I saw the purest evil. A small incision is already good enough to tell the story, and Catherine's sharp style remains, breathless. The truth may never be clear, but people's hearts are already clear. Will's performance makes people feel cold with every smile and smile, and he has never seen such a hideous person. The music is great, and the last cast saw Krasinski's face so dumbfounded that he couldn't remember.

    The bandits laughed without saying a word, smiled at all kinds of discrimination, he didn't even dare to admit it, and those kneeling minions laughed at racial discrimination in other countries, but they didn't even have a chance to vote.
