7.5/10
If there are a few things that the United States will never get past, then financial and racial systems must occupy two places, especially race.
And this "The Banker" is just like the springing up of racial-themed movies in recent years, and it is developing on the path of an American "model drama".
It may be too ridiculous to say "model drama", but it is undeniable that there are more films, and the audience must be more aware of it. Beads and jade are the first, and the descendants often fall into the same thing. Discussing racial issues and promoting equality have long been nothing new, and tricky audiences now pay more attention to the quality of the film itself.
It can be said that "The Banker" at least met the qualification standards.
Stable and stable. This is a sentence that has been lingering in my head from the beginning to the end of the movie. How stable is this movie? Whether it's the black partnership buying the bank, the bank's various crises, the white partner's "backlash", or the unsurprisingly generous statement in the end. There is absolutely no fluctuation in my heart.
This is actually a taboo of commercial feature films. Your biggest goal is to attract the audience, but it is difficult for the audience to spend 120 minutes with little emotional ups and downs and straightforward narration. I believe this is also the distance between this film and the so-called good film. "Green Paper" still has human struggles and life accidents, and "The Banker" is obviously almost meaningless.
Of course, stability is still beneficial. Just one conclusion I have drawn from watching movies: As long as you don't collapse or go wrong, a movie is already better than half of the movies. It is also thanks to the director's strong control, as well as the solid script, the plot is not weak, solid, and the actors' hard work, this stable ship at least finally docked safely.
There are still bright spots, and the film has a slight touch on the level of detail. Such as the symbols of uniforms and hats, and their connection with the racial system. I was deeply impressed by the portrayal of the differences between the rich and the poor, blacks and whites. In addition to "carrying private goods", the issue of women's rights was mentioned fluently, and the discussion of the concept of "fighting for the'silent majority'" concept has enriched the connotation of the film.
However, it is regrettable that most of these details and discussions remain on the surface. The film is like a piece of uncut jade, and people can see its beauty, but it really owes a bit of polishing.
Generally speaking, it is neat, stable, and entertaining. It has surpassed "Moonlight Boy" and other similar works (of course, "Moonlight Boy" tends to be literary and artistic, and this point will not be expanded for the time being), but the distance " There is still some distance in the Green Book.
The final court monologue made me feel boring or even boring (to be fair, this is not the problem of the film, just because this kind of expression is really bad), but when I realized that this is the real event changed, my heart Admiration still emerges spontaneously, and the reality of life may be more tragic than artistic carving.
Even in the 1920s, when equal rights and non-discrimination have become the new political correctness, the American people still seem to have not completely circumvented the problems left by their ancestors one or two hundred years ago. Does overly correctness imply a barrier from blood? At the same time that the explicit barriers are demolished, is there a high wall of class built at the same time?
To be honest, I don’t know, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite.
