Today, on the fiftieth anniversary, racial issues in the United States appear to have improved. But it is not the case. The interests and power struggles between various races, which are covered up by political correctness, are affecting everyone all the time.
While watching the whole movie, my heart sank little by little. At every juncture, there is always an expectation that things will get better. The kind of Jedi counterattack commonly used in American blockbusters, the successful reversal has never happened. No one who perpetrated the violence suddenly reflected on his consciousness, no one bystander stood up to stop it, and no one who suffered the violence was able to successfully prevent the situation from deteriorating step by step. Everything is downhill.
This makes people feel heavy. The reason is that the events of fifty years ago are still happening today. Are all the struggles essentially fruitless? The riots in the movie are all choices made when they are forced to have nowhere to go. But that choice led to irreparable damage. If there is no riot, how can we solve racial discrimination and obtain due respect and rights? In today's socio-political environment, the question that this film tells does not seem to have a perfect answer.
I asked myself, why would I choose to live in the US? Living in the raging heat of racial issues. After all, neither I nor my family have ever participated in any racial incidents in history, nor have I persecuted anyone, nor have I been directly persecuted. Why wear this load-bearing shackle?
However, I think that precisely because the United States is the country with the most racial issue, only such a country has the opportunity to finally solve the racial issue. Solving the problem of race is also solving how people can live in peace with people who are different from themselves. If people who are physically different from themselves, have different backgrounds, different ideas, different ideologies, different belief systems, and different pursuits of interests may even be opposite, and people who seem to be completely unable to understand each other respect each other and live in peace, this is what human beings can pursue. Highest level, right? So that we can live with the environment, nature, flora and fauna, and even creatures from outer space.
So in this way, the seemingly unbearable America is actually the greatest hope for further development of mankind, isn't it?
