It was severely spoiled before watching this film, so all the surprises that should have been turned into verification: Oh, it turns out that the horseman is like this...
Anyway, even if it is severely spoiled, it does not hinder the surprise and value of the film itself. The whole film involves many serious keywords in an absurd way: racial discrimination, strike protection, capital exploitation, political rule, stereotypes, class...
One of the most absurd scenes in the film is that the male lead is forced to rap, because black people can rap. The nigga nigga rap that follows is extremely absurd and funny. What is even more absurd and funny is that the ending hero looks out from the gap and sees the horse rushing to and fro.
This seemingly absurd black comedy actually hides many serious problems. Racial discrimination may be the most eye-catching banner in the film, and even Martin Luther King Jr. was taken out and blacked out. But in fact, the most valuable point of view in the whole film may be that the resistance you think may be expected or even allowed. Like Monkey King to the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha. Compared with slavery, racial discrimination is just a branch.
The movie posed a problem, but I didn’t seem to see any solution, and maybe I really couldn’t. So at the end of the film, the male lead who thought he was free finally became a horse male. This ending was amazing, and even more terrifying after careful consideration.
