Attracted by the subject matter and word of mouth, I just caught up with the activities of the film group to sign up for the film.

This film revolves around the subject of racial discrimination, and it also gave me a deeper understanding of the injustices and various predicaments that black people encountered in society in the last century.

All the protagonists have their own charms, wise and bold, free and easy and bold, with distinct personalities. This combination enriches the film.

The plot and pictures of the film make people feel strong contrast and irony everywhere, black and white, facing the two situations of transaction and investment, the marriage of Bernard and Matt. In particular, the side description of Bernard and Matt's respective marital status in the plot: Bernard and his wife appreciate and support each other. His wife is reasonable, supports her husband's decision, and has a strong subjective awareness of gender equality. ; When Matt and his wife first met, his wife learned the identity of his investor, and when the next scene appeared, they were married, and his wife also made a great push for Matt's later mistakes. The contrast between the two wives is also ironic and real.

The description of women also mentions another potential theme, equality between men and women, initiated by the male protagonist's wife, which is not described much in the film, but it is enough to provoke thinking, and some men's negative perception of women still exists in today's society.

This is a story about struggle, confrontation, equality and love. The protagonist Bernard's struggle history is admirable. At the same time, the description of his family and emotions is also very delicate. Each character is very well portrayed, including Bernard. The portrayal of De's father, son, villain, and even passers-by all add to the film's luster.
