Don't worry, the bad guys are all dead in the end

The whole film really has nothing to do with high IQ, at most it is the cause and consequence of the destruction of a group of stupid and morally degraded people. Through the naked irony and black humor on the surface, what the screenwriter and director may want to express is that "sometimes the narrowness and prejudice of human beings will bury the real sin under the off-point rant."

The following summary of the impressive points is mainly for those who have seen it, with spoilers.

1. Matt Damon's scumbag father (hereinafter referred to as scumbag) finally ate the poisoned milk and bread of the boy's aunt, who is also the scumbag's mistress (hereinafter referred to as the mistress). It was originally the mistress who wanted to poison the little boy, but was finally eaten by the scumbag.

2. After scumbag killed his wife, he didn't even bother to pretend to be sad, but the people in the community and company around him tried hard to dent his hypocritical sympathy. But at this time, the behavior of the little black boy is really in stark contrast to the hypocritical white adult world. He gave the little snake he raised to the little boy, and the sentence "you can have it" really warmed me.

3. To what extent can a dad be scumbag? After working with the sister-in-law (mistress) and disposing of the sister-in-law's husband first, the mother was disabled and she must be put to death, so she hired a murderer. After the mother died, she was full of insurance money and flew with her sister-in-law to send her son away. Finally, drinking poisoned milk, he threatened his son when he heard his son say, "You did all this." If you don't cooperate with me to help me get rid of sin, I will kill you and get rid of sin on my own. Incest, derailment, murder, and fraud (insurance) can not be called a person at any level and social role. In the end, Dad scum killed the fat killer and insurance salesman, the thin assassin killed the sister-in-law, and the uncle killed the thin assassin. He was also counter-killed by the thin assassin. End to sprinkle flowers.

4. To tell the truth, the role of an insurance investigator is very good. Although it is not a good thing, I still feel a little bit cool to see the mistress's sister-in-law who was scared to urinate and laughed miserably.

5. When white community residents surrounded a black house and roared and burned their cars day and night, the truly terrifying case of killing the door took place next door, and the anger of the community residents covered up the gunshots. "Sometimes the narrowness and prejudice of human beings can bury the real sin under the rant that is off-point."

6. The black child tells the little boy, and the parents tell him that we should not show fear. Later, I personally guessed that the little boy would be adopted by the little black family and lead a relatively normal life.

I have to say that race movies are a mirror of the history of human evolution. It's like Brad Pitt's twelve years as a slave.
