"Blue and Black" Movie Watching Record

It mainly tells the story of a black policewoman who was retired from the army as a newcomer who accidentally witnessed a black police executing a drug dealer.

Favorite place:

1. At the beginning, the heroine was running in the morning, and the two white police officers asked her to stop and search for no reason. When they learned that she was also a policeman, they wanted to use a few random sentences to pass by, and saw that the perfunctory didn’t work. The malicious satire that the female protagonist is a "new person" and does not understand the rules; combined with her partner to patrol the blacks, the blacks don't treat her like her because she wears a police uniform, and the white partners don't care about the safety of the black community. The social background of the heroine.

2. In terms of the rendering of the atmosphere, the film is very well done. I especially like the graffiti on the ship in the distance "open your eyes" and a group of "eyes" in the slums. Ways to complain about life and despair of reality.

What's missing:

The emotional entanglement between the heroine and the young (black female partner) seems a bit embarrassing. It is not very convincing to rely on a few lines to create a deep bond ten years ago.

Thoughts:

The film tells that in the economic downturn, racial discrimination is serious, social security is chaotic, and people of all kinds are living in a hot era. If people at the bottom do not rely on illegal crimes to obtain good material conditions, they can only let others. Fish meat, children do not go to school, adults do nothing every day, forming a vicious circle, giving people the feeling of hopelessness and never standing up. Coupled with the corruption of violent organs, people are silent for fear of getting into trouble, and social value collapses and black and white are reversed in order to protect themselves. In order to get away, the heroine has no choice but to use the gang to help herself get away. Even if the good guys defeat the bad guys at the end of the film, it means pulling back, but a gleam of light cannot illuminate the overall darkness of the world. (The two most interesting points: 1. During the process of saving the woman, the male partner said that there is a church at the end of the path, and the priest has a car to help you. When the camera is turned, I see the same dilapidated church through the roof of the dilapidated block The cross, the heroine did not go, perhaps implying that the "god" in the hearts of the people in the past could not help people solve the problems in reality at this moment; 2. In the final battle, by chance, the hero who helped the heroine get out of the front was in the front. It turned out to be a gang, and it was the police who wanted to kill the heroine. The irony is profound.)
