Today we will talk about the movie "The Eve of the Civil War".
The title of the film Antebellum (2020), alias tremor · service · Qian (Hong Kong) / tremor service reincarnation (Taiwan).
The beginning of "Eve of the Civil War" is a long, slow-motion shot for a long period of time, using a coherent shot to introduce the background of the story.
Several black slaves tried to escape the white-controlled plantation, but were caught and executed. The audience can tell at a glance that this is the story of the cotton plantation of the slave owners in the South that took place during the American Civil War.
The title is also "The Eve of the Civil War", which also tells the tragic story of black slaves. The audience's first reaction will definitely think that this is a film about the history of the Civil War.
But if you think so, you will be fooled by the director. The more you look back, the more mysterious you will find. The relationship between the slave owner and the black slave is slightly subtle, and the whole thing is not as simple as it seems.
The film was created by the "Escape from the Deadly Town" and "We" team. In the narrative process, there are many similarities with the "Escape from the Deadly Town" and "We".
Everyone may wish to recall the plot of "Escape from the Dead Town" for a moment. What should have emerged in your mind is an undercurrent surging community. It looks like a group of harmony on the surface, but it is full of shameful activities in the dark.
"The Eve of the Civil War" is similar, a story set in the context of the Civil War, which is actually an anecdote that happened in modern society.
The past never disappears, and so does discrimination. It has never disappeared. As long as there is a little chance, it will resurrect and intensify.
The process of watching the movie "Eve of the Civil War" is very interesting, and the unremarkable beginning can lead to a very thoughtful reversal in the back. The whole movie watching process is getting better, the more I look back, the more interesting I am, and the more I want to know how it will end.
Spoiler-style introduction of the plot is one of the laziest ways. Everyone will know the plot after watching the movie, and there is no need to repeat it. What is worth watching should be the social significance of the film.
The overall idea of "The Eve of the Civil War" is in the same line as the previous works, all of which are to tear off the mask of American society's hypocrisy through each absurd story.
On the surface, it seems that those in power give all kinds of privileges to black people, but they still don't treat black people as human beings. Not to mention the yellow race, whites and blacks are discriminating.
The reason why "Black Lives Matter" can become politically correct is because their politics has been incorrect, but they rely on military hegemony and U.S. dollar hegemony to control the right to speak.
The dramatic effect of "The Eve of the Civil War" mainly comes from the heroine Veronica, who has turned upside down in her body, ruthlessly satirizing the hypocrisy of the lighthouse country.
Winonika was originally a best-selling author. He was famous for eloquent male white racists on TV shows, so he annoyed the white supremacists and wanted to deal with it quickly.
After some unskilled operations, Winonika was kidnapped and thrown into a large simulation farm.
Since then, she was forbidden to speak, and under the huge gap, Winonika actually adapted well. After being severely beaten, she served white people, worked on the farm, and obeyed everything.
As the old saying goes, equality can never be achieved by charity. The foundation for us to stand among the nations of the world is to win the Five Constants and possess Dongfeng truth.
Blacks want to rely on beating, smashing and looting to achieve equal rights, which is simply a dream. The riots that occur from time to time are nothing more than the emotional blasting carefully designed by the political elites of the lighthouse country.
Winonika showed different results in two coping styles. At first, Winonika accepted it, but waited for endless beatings and humiliation, without thinking about freedom; then Winonika used violent means to fight, but unexpectedly discovered that freedom was so easy. In the same way, the Black Panther Party once had a chance, but it had a program but no guns, and its strength was still not enough.
Many of the assault scenes in "The Eve of the Civil War" are too realistic and shocking to watch. Personally think this is the most horrifying part of the film.
The shortcoming of the film is that there are too many slow motions in the film, and the suspicion of taking the time is extremely high. It's like Gu Long always wraps his novels, using the same number of words to increase the length of the manuscript. If you tell the story at a normal speed, it is estimated that "Eve of the Civil War" still needs a little more content to make up the length of a film.
The past never disappears,
It never even passed.
