The opening of the movie gives people the joyful and peaceful happiness of small town life, the sun is shining and the flowers are everywhere. However, as the little boy's family was drugged into a coma by the kidnappers who entered the night, the paralyzed mother died, and the father and aunt were called to the police station to identify the murderer. They unanimously denied that there was a murderer among the 5 people, but they never expected that the little boy would also quietly Sneak into the identification room and recognize the two murderers at a glance.

Since then, people have guessed that this is an old-fashioned story of a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law who bought a murderer and killed his wife, committed adultery and tried to defraud the bailout and then flew away together.

But he didn't expect the ending of the story to be so tragic. Except for the little boy, everyone in the family including his father, aunt, and uncle who loved him died. The two murderers also died, and the boy became an orphan.

Another branch of the story is the pure white community where the little boy lives-Mission, a black family moved in, and the little boy's house happened to be a neighbor, and was opposed by the whole town. A wall made of wooden planks separated the black neighbor from the neighbors around him. He went to the whole town to sing around his house day and night, and it was restless day and night. In the end, he even smashed the family and set the car on fire. There are only little boys playing with black children in the whole town. In the end, only black children gave him comfort.

A seemingly peaceful town is full of bloodshed and violence, all of which are believed by the people to be caused by this black neighbor, but when the truth is revealed, people find that the real evil is in their own hearts, regardless of skin color or race.

The setting of the heroine in the film seems to be a bit too stupid, their evil plan is explained too early in the play, the audience guessed most of the plot in the first half, and it feels like there is no suspense, and the latter is entirely because they want to know the male protagonist How the heroine and the heroine were brought to justice, I didn't expect that the good people and the bad people would all die tragically. The video is so bloody!

    It's not as ugly as I imagined, there are airport scenes and even laugh out loud, maybe George Clooney directed, Cohen's book... Such a creative lineup hurt this movie...

    3.5 These days, there are racial themes and there is segregation, and there is suspicion of hating Sichuan. The first half is difficult to get into the drama. It would be good to have more connections between the two families and the two lines. The sense of suspense is not enough, but the second half is still very Cohen-style Idea, the crazy and dark humorous ending pulls back a little bit, the audio-visual language of a few scenes is outstanding, the soundtrack is very retro and Hitchcocky, and there are a few more interesting comedy elements, Oscar Issac does not have a lot of scenes, but it is quite brilliant
