American movie "The Queen and the Skinny Man"

Release time: In theaters in the U.S. on November 27, 2019
List of winning works:
A pure work about the relationship between blacks and whites, of course the emphasis is on "criticizing white supremacy" and "black people's aspirations for equal rights." Such films have been uncommon in recent years, such as the well-known "Escape from Dead End Town". ", the Oscar-winning work "Green Book", the annual must-see American drama "Colored Glasses"... are all such routines. In contrast, this work has its acquaintances, but it is by no means an order. As far as the ending is concerned, the ending of the film is closer to reality, more real (non-fairy tale ending), and more "American".
Briefly, enter the brief comment.
Let's take a look at the plot first.
People: Queen, Slim
Cause: The white policeman found fault (provoked with a gun) and was killed by Slim.
After: start to flee -> carjacking (white car owner) -> send to the doctor (accidentally hit the black man, send him to a doctor) -> ask for help (Uncle Earl), the police came after hearing the news and continued to flee -> accident on the way (vehicle breakdown, Maintenance required)->Rijiushengqing (dry firewood and raging fire)->Find Earl’s old comrade Shepherd (neighbors revealed, the police arrived as scheduled)->Last escape/stop (attempted to appear on a private jet and was betrayed)
Ending: Two people were shot and killed
Let's take a look at a few interesting scenes in the play.
1. The black brother's arms raised and shouted
2. Blacks face off with the police
3. The courtesy of white veterans (Zhientubao)
4. The "deer" in the mouths of black police officers
5. "Betrayal" by black brothers (from a moral perspective, it is very dirty; from a legal perspective, it is normal operation)
6. Huge portraits appearing in black neighborhoods
These scenes, fused together, address two significant problems.
1. The relationship between whites and blacks cannot be resolved overnight.
2. For those who see profit and forget righteousness regardless of race, how can the eyes recognize the dark side in these hearts? How can the human heart guess it?
Finally, let me talk about my thoughts on this work.
1. The ending of this play is very real, not divorced from reality, it is commendable. (Because the most important thing for a realistic work is "authenticity")
2. The legitimate lawyers choose to confront the police and advise the injured to flee. Is this series of actions against common sense? It’s not clear below, you need to understand the relevant regulations carefully.
3. How to choose between emotion and reason? What is "absolute justice"? What is "relative evil"? Unexplainable, unclear.
The final review.
Screenwriter ★★★☆☆ (The story is not high-strength, but the ending treatment is really "real")
Director ★★★★☆ (The choice of script and actors are representative, and the intention of shooting the work is obvious)
Actor ★★★☆☆ (Daniel Kaluuya is still the third child, staring, opening his mouth, smiling, where do you start to grow in acting skills?)
Plot ★★★★☆ (Relaxed, real, with some sweetness and some bitterness, this is the taste of "real life")
Visual effects ★★★★☆ (Compared with the soundtrack, it is slightly worse, but the neatness and tension of the lens are still old-fashioned)
Sound ★★★★★ (the soundtrack is bright enough)
Recommendation ★★★★☆ (It can be called the real version of "Escape from Deadly Town")
