It takes time to dissolve the estrangement, but it needs more tolerance

What I feel most about this movie is about the opposition between two races. It can neither be formed in a short period of time nor can it be eliminated in a short period of time. The reversal of ideas cannot be transferred by a certain person or a certain point of view. Then it calmed down in a flash. Concepts have been deeply ingrained, and more of them are caused by various factors such as different cultures, different foundations, and different values.

After watching the movie, my focus was not on the female protagonist with a sense of justice and the corrupt anti-drug police. Instead, I felt that the black female protagonist’s white male partner was intriguing. When he took the heroine for the first time on patrol, he shot to death the people in the black residential area and said that they were all bad guys. He never paid money to the supermarkets opened by black people. This shows how deep the prejudice of this race is. He is well aware of the corruption in the police station, and understands that it is wrong to do so, and understands that the heroine's behavior is out of justice, but when the heroine asks for help, he persuades her to surrender to the corrupt forces. He provided the heroine's news to the villain, causing the heroine to be chased and killed, but in the depths of his heart he was suffering from his conscience. He is not a wicked person, but he is absolutely indifferent to kindness. Even if he hits the drug police at the end, I can’t make me feel good about him. I feel like he is just a poor worm who makes up for a knife in the face of public opinion. . He is just a small person, but he is extremely close to reality, and he even feels that the root of the problem that makes the conflicts between the two ethnic groups so serious in reality may not lie in a few extreme discriminators, but most ordinary people like him who have no opinions. Artificial. Influenced by the previous generation, they were told how bad the blacks were, which resulted in a deep-rooted concept, but they never used their own eyes to distinguish.

The film is very politically correct, the story is very good, the actors are very good, and the action scenes are not inferior. The whole process is an urinary point and can be watched in one breath, but after watching it, besides being cool, I always feel that there is something wrong. Later, I think about it, probably because the heroine in the movie really wants to use her own power to create a world view where there is no dark and no dirty transactions, and everything is particularly beautiful, and the conflict between her dream and the real world is not so big. There is nothing wrong with this idea, but if it is to be further realized, she does not rely on her alone to reverse it. The first thing to eliminate is racial discrimination.

The disadvantage is that the film is too idealistic. The heroine and the villain have a relatively single set of characters, and the character and vicious face are a bit old-fashioned. On the contrary, they are not as vivid as some supporting characters. I remember at the end of the film, when the hostess sent the villain to prison and went to patrol the black area, several black children gave her a thumbs up. I don’t know if it was deliberately arranged by the director, why only black children praised her and why Don't let her visit neighborhoods with other races? If you go deeper, I'm afraid you can only experience a somewhat sad reality. When many people talk about black people or other types of people, they put more emphasis on black or the adjective in front. If the focus is on the character in the back, and more equality and tolerance, perhaps discrimination will not be the case. It's serious...
