In my opinion, this is actually a theme about racial discrimination, which also includes conflicts between different classes. Recently, there are too many movies on this theme, such as "Parasite", "Burning", "Joker" and even "Green Book". Does it also herald the evolution of human consciousness, and people are starting to think about these kinds of issues more and more?
What impressed me deeply in "The Queen and the Skinny Man" was that the male and female protagonists embodied the attributes of their special class at the beginning. Although they are all blacks, they belong to a class with no status in the United States, but the male and female protagonists themselves also exist. Different classes. This has been reflected in their diet and concepts. What happened is also due to this reason. When the police checked the car, it was obvious that they bullied the hero Slim with discrimination. Slim has become accustomed to swallowing his voice to adapt to his role, but as a lawyer, the heroine Queen (I feel that the name of the heroine and heroine begins) Very well and consciously) has a certain sense of self, so he jumped out to accuse the white policeman, leading to a series of violence and eventually killed the white policeman by mistake. The two went into a fleeing path of no return. During the period, the two were respected by the black community, and even young people imitated it, which fully reflects this irreconcilable class antagonism.
The last shot touched me the most. When a group of police faced two unarmed refugees and ordered them to get down, it was not so much afraid of them, but rather afraid of the rise of a class. Queen & Slim didn't move at this time. This was the awakening of self-consciousness after a series of escapes. In fact, it was not a matter of life or death, but a matter of human dignity. The police accidentally killed the heroine again. This time the heroine was completely different from when the car was checked. He picked up his girlfriend's body and walked towards the police without fear or helplessness (in fact, this time can already indicate the ending. I was moved to tears by this passage), and finally fell into the burst of bullets.
You want to raise your head from a lower stratum to a higher stratum. It is not easy said than done, but the trend of human development is the awakening of self-consciousness. No one wants to be enslaved for life, even if they lose their lives, they must maintain their dignity.
