I didn't know the controversy outside the director's play before watching the film review, and I also had the blessing of not knowing. The mentality of watching movies is not biased or judged.
Because I watched this movie intermittently, I watched it a little when I had time. Although I think the overall rhythm is quite fast in retrospect, I am not sure if I will feel dull after watching it in one breath. What was the protagonist's stimulation, which led to the final decision to use violence to control violence, and it was inevitable that he was a little tired.
This kind of clarity lasted until the protagonist decided to resist, and then it became obvious that the director couldn't manage it in the second half. I originally watched it with the attitude of watching a politically correct movie. I didn't think there was any problem. When the black angel illusion appeared on the gallows, I was shocked... I was instigated! In fact, this kind of error began when Nat killed Samuel. Although I liked the light and shadow of that section, they were left and right in front of the church-like stained glass. When they were dead and alive, Nat was leaning against the axe. The texture of the movie is very similar to a suspenseful murder movie. At the time, I thought this shot was good-looking and at the same time it was inconsistent. After watching it, I thought about it carefully. What was wrong with this might be because the movie itself did not provide a strong explanation for the act of using violence to control violence. There are even too many bloody shots in the second half. This is not to say that to highlight the goodness of blacks and whites is not a last resort, nor to expose the bloody reality. The director cannot impose his own presuppositions and positions before asking the audience to have a presupposition and standpoint. On the audience. The driving force of religion on people is the same as the salvation achieved by people relying on religion. It was originally a question worth discussing. In the end, the black angel illusion was very powerless when it came out. It felt like a very narrow shot. Black is white, and black people can also be redeemed through God. All kinds of words that the director wants to say set off the face of black tragic heroes, which is dull and tasteless. I am not insisting that the black race must jump out of the box and analyze history comprehensively from the perspective of a calm mind and an observer. It is just that if it is a story of blood and tears that is suspected of over-beautification, in addition to being incited and uncomfortable, the audience has a third A choice?
To put it right, in the front of this movie, Nat and Chery are riding in the carriage and on the grass, and the scenes where they come to marry me on horseback late at night are very fresh and natural. I like it very much. Then, out of the director’s own anger, the various treatments suffered by blacks are indeed very moving. The light and dark connections of several lenses are very neat, and the overall tone is very good. From the perspective of the film itself, Samuel’s family does not compare historical facts, and does not touch on the fundamental interests of the blacks. The pseudo-gentleman is not too harsh for the blacks. It corresponds to the old but neat details of the blacks in his family. It is also considered attentive.
In addition, I don’t understand the usefulness of the sacrificial offerings interspersed with primitive African tribes, and it is quite deliberate.
The music helped the film a lot, and the atmosphere was very good.
