The movie "Before the Civil War" was created by the team of the dark horse film "Escape from Death", and the theme is similar. It is about cruel whites oppressing kind black people, and then black people escape with their own cleverness and agility. Day of birth. Launching this film while taking advantage of the wave of "Hei Minggui" is similar to launching "King Kong River" on the anniversary of the Korean War. Black and yellow are good people, white people have no good people. Speaking of "black life is expensive", I dislike this statement. Your black life is expensive, isn't it not that expensive? Where's Huang Ming? If you just mention your own life, you will at most arouse others' vigilance-oh, these people can't afford it, but if you want others to take you seriously from the heart and respect you like everyone else, You have to come up with enough skills. As far as my impression is concerned, blacks are an advantaged and dirty race. They are so bad in our country that I cannot respect them. It's the same in other countries. After the Freud incident, there were many blacks who beat and looted the streets in the United States. If such a person wants to say that his life is expensive, I would disagree very much. But in fact, "black life is expensive" is a simplified translation. The original English term is "black lives matter". The accurate translation should be "black lives matter". This term is actually not bright enough, just like black people have been protecting. His own ethnicity is as narrow and petty. For example, they protect their people from being bullied by white people, but when they come across yellow people, especially Chinese, they look down on them and even rob Chinese shops. It would be much better if they shouted their slogans more grandiosely, such as "No matter what the skin color, everyone's life is as precious", all lives matter. Back to this film. Although this film is not directed by the director of "Escape from Death", there are still many similarities in style, such as the storytelling is not hurried, the emphasis is on reversal, and as always, blacks are good people, and bad people are all. White people, wait. The biggest advantage of this film is that its plot is out of expectations, and people are particularly looking forward to how the story will develop next, even if we all know that it must be an old routine in the end. Finally, in the flip setting, the director played a more advanced level. They did not surprise the character, but used an inconspicuous little detail to perfect the transition, leaving the surprise to the audience. This approach is better. Many films pay too much attention to the flip design, and the whole film points to the cleverness to gain the audience's approval. This film feels a little bit lighter and simpler.
When recommending "Midsummer Nightmare", I classified the horror films of "Escape from Death", "Genetic Doom", and "We" in recent years as "light horror" because they do not rely on blood plasma, dismemberment, The volume, shape, and special effects scare the audience, but take the more connotative and advanced paths of culture, psychology, and religion. They are even a bit "cold", and some relatively unpopular cultural symbols are not explained when they appear. This film It's also of this type, it's still a bit picky for the audience, and audiences who like "jump scare" direct horror movies may fall asleep to death.
But the problem with the film is also more obvious. After straightening the timeline, you will find that it is a very simple thing, and if you think in a realistic way, you will find that many of its details are untenable. At that time, it will also deepen your understanding of "black life is expensive." "This theme is not recognized. This is probably something the director didn't think of when he created this story. And compared to the previous "light horror" films, this film has no cultural features. But if you are not so particular, and do not have such bitter thoughts, this film is still worth killing time.
