All human contradictions will eventually evolve into anti-human

Obvious racial antagonism. The injustice of the white police's enforcement of the blacks led to manslaughter, and the distrust of the entire police system led to fleeing. On the way, almost all the blacks who met on the road gave them praise. Civilians inexplicably change fugitives, and fugitives inexplicably change heroes. A very plain magical realism.

Female lawyers dominate everything. It was because her case was not going well that she asked the male lead to come out to eat, and kept pushing during the police investigation of the car, and tried to escape after the incident. This kind of behavior is a little weird for a lawyer. Of course, with the character displayed by the heroine in the film, it is actually even more incredible that she can become a lawyer. Perhaps the instigator of everything was that she was in a bad mood that day.

In fact, everyone helped them during their escape, regardless of skin color. Neither the white sheriff who raised the children alone nor the comrade-in-arms of the female master's uncle did not treat them differently because they were black. On the contrary, it was the black who betrayed them in the end. The difference in skin color exists objectively, but discrimination is very subjective. This is not a contradiction between white people and people of color, but a contradiction between white people who discriminate against people of color and people of color. Most people without tinted glasses are innocently involved.

And the child shooting the police is the result of the intensification of contradictions. When the hostile person has multiple identities, each of his identities will become a target. The object of resistance is a white policeman. Although he is not a white man, he is at least a policeman. Perhaps this is the mental activity of a child who wants to be a hero before shooting. But one person's identity is too much. To expand further, white, police, male, state, location, age group, nearsightedness, left-handed. The result of the escalating situation is that no one remembers what the cause was. The contradictions of different identities and different classes are constantly intensifying. When the hostility reaches a certain level, there is no reason, only confrontation. And what mankind will eventually destroy is mankind himself.
