I haven't seen such an enjoyable affirmative-themed movie in a long time. The film's background is set in the 1950s and 1960s when racial discrimination was still prevalent. In order to enter the real estate and banking industries that were almost exclusively white at the time, two shrewd black Americans hired a white guy with great acting talent. Erlai acted as puppets to negotiate business with others, while they operated secretly as actual controllers. The above content is the outline of the first 1/3 of the film. One of the most interesting parts is undoubtedly the section where the black elite duo played by the director of SHIELD and the falcon respectively conduct all-round pre-job training for the white waste boy. Under the guidance of two black mentors, the young man played by the beast in the "X-Men" series is full of funny moments and clever designs in the process of learning and applying golf, western food etiquette and business skills, making the film in the The viewing experience of this part is very similar to most of the passages in "Green Book", which is relaxed and comfortable but not interesting. However, since the first male protagonist, Falcon, took his son back to his hometown in Texas, a small town with serious racial discrimination, the tone of the film has changed significantly, and the direction of the story has also produced a reasonable and unexpected development. The reason why it makes sense is that the words and deeds of everyone in the play are advancing according to the background and characters of the times presented in the first half, while the unexpected is reflected in the dramatic reversals one after another, which is almost dizzying. , which is quite fascinating. Of course, since the key plot involves certain details of bank credit business, there may be some cognitive thresholds for most audiences, but fortunately, the story makes the necessary explanations more subtly through the character dialogue, so the film is relatively complete. While presenting the core conflict, it ensures that the audience will not be confused by more financial jargon. Like many similar films, a congressional hearing, reserved for the protagonist to deliver a keynote speech, brought the plot to its final climax. However, this film based on real deeds has an unusual treatment here, which not only follows historical facts, but also points out the theme of anti-racism, and logically leads to the Happy Ending that smart businessmen should enjoy. It's quite heartbreaking to watch. To sum up, the theme of equal rights can now be said to be the absolute mainstream of the other side's literary and artistic works, but whether it looks good or not is really a skill. This "Banker" can be regarded as a recent work of relatively high quality among similar themes, I recommend it!
